QuoteThe D4 accent as practiced by Micheal McMullan , Tom Dunne , Craig Doyle and most radio news and weather presenters
People holding up their mobile phones so that their mates can hear
the concert. Quite frankly if I couldn't get to a gig that I really wanted to see the last thing that I would want is some 'friend' ringing me up just to torture me by showing off that they are at the gig.
That and over priced ropey lager.
Any thing else really annoys people?
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

i hate tall people at gigs. they always seem to stand in front of me, the b@stards. that and really, really drunk people, who try to jump up and end up just bumping into people around them. then they try to get you to sing and stuff and take it personally when you won't. it's like "fcuk off, I'm here to watch a band you git, go somehere else please".
that's why i don't go to many gigs, too small and sober....
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

Plus can's of Stella should be banned, missed a few gig's thank's to that, even though I was there @ the time.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.

Thank's 12th ma man.
Was at a gig with Pat O'Banton on friday, and we did manage to pace ourselve's and stay away from the Stella, but when we got back to the Holloway road and heard the County result the pace turned into a sprint, and party time once again broke out.

is mr o banton still engaging in that "name dropping" thing to gain free access to gigs ?
you know the ould "me and the cambell brothers...blah blah ..
ub40......big hit single......."
"now where is the green room "?
To right, most people are trying to forget about that desperate song, yet he goes and take's his name as his handle.is mr o banton still engaging in that "name dropping" thing to gain free access to gigs ?

Things that should be banned from gigs....
1. People who won't give a support acts a chance
2. Pint bottles of Bulmers (in small venues, ice-cube scoops are very noisy)
3. Glen Hansard
4. Ticketmaster involvement
5. Umbrellas
6. Security who clamp down on moshing and crowd surfing in the 'mosh pit'
7. Video walls where people text up messages for the crowd to see
8. Beer/Loo/Food queues
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Went to see My Bloody Valentine in the early nineties and they had people handing out flyers telling people not to buy their merchandise inside as it was over priced rip off. Fair play to them.
12th man I've tired of the shallowness of the guest list, the free beer, groupies and now prefer to spend my time standing on my tip toes trying to get a view of Black Francis beer gut.
By the way did I ever mention that there still a very few copies of 'life is a miracle' in the shops, Hey send them to me and I will autograph them for you
Oops forgot about the tenner Sylvo.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
I think u-18 should be un-banned
Its ridicoulous that a 16 yr old (like myself) cant go to see my favourite band because of my age. Ok, so the risk is that I might be going in to get drink. But i could get stamped at the door or something.
Smiley F*****G Bolger. His very presence has made me want to ask for my money back, sell every album I have by the band playing, give up all this crazy popular music listening that I do, and take up American Folk Music, only I know that B*****D would be there too.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
sorry smiley is a legend, prob only 25 looks 102
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
i'm sure the security. But i could get stamped at the door or something.
If and when I am grand high dictator of all the world I shall ban the following from gigs.
1) Short people. They always stand behind me for some reason and then have the nerve to whine about it. I'm not likely to shrink just because you have a fixation with some singer that you're hoping will notice you amidst the heaving throng. Maybe if you were taller you'd be noticed. And it's not as if I'm freakishly tall, I'm 6'2, stand on your tip-toes or something.
2) My brother. He's a belligerant/eccentric drunk and I'm sick of having to bail him out/stand him back up/prevent him from nefarious acts
3) In fact all belligerant drunks will be banned (especially female ones). There's nothing more frustrating than having some idiot smash their elbows all over the place. At least if it's a guy you can give him one back.
4) The little morons who haven't the balls to go into a mosh pit proper so they stand around the edge looking to push some unsuspecting innocent in instead and throwing sly kicks at anybody who won't know it was them (memo to the little twerp at Planes Mistaken For Stars: I hope you enjoyed being physically picked up and dragged into the middle, it's always gratifying to see a near grown man curled up in a ball on the floor sobbing like a baby. Karma my friend. Karma.)
5) People who don't actually like the band but are there to accompany somebody else (usually a boyfriend/girlfriend). It was a lovely gesture of you to get two tickets for your anniversary or whatever but if you don't have any interest in the band then why in God's name have you come. You're only going to bring down the enjoyment threshold for the rest of us.
The ball is round and has many surprises.

I understand yer situation brother, the word's ''fcek off down the front then if yer can't see'' have been uttered on occasion's by meself to some plank who's decided to stand behind us and then make an issue by muttering non stop about it.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
agree with mobs & s***e beer prices
also silly little tw*ts who think they remember the smiths (i dont but i have had my day) and little children sining to morrissey instead of white stripes
1)
Tw*ts with laser pens trying to blind the band.
2)
No one gobs anymore, thank the Good Lord, but that used to really annoy me way back when. Disgusting practice. Young people today, don't know how lucky you are blah blah blah.
3).
People recording the event for a bootleg telling you to shush as they can't record it with you talking.
4)
Deaf sound engineers.
5)
Bands who think it's cool to delay coming on stage until it's so late that the last train to anywhere sensible has long since departed.
What I WOULD bring back, is people willing to cycle in their air to the Sultans of Ping, flat on their back on a beer sodden dancefloor.
Tea. Corduroy. Space Travel.
Ah yes, pinging, remember doing it in a sodden Finsbury Park at the 1992 Fleadh.
Have decided that I am no longer drinking at gigs, Oasis in finsbury Park the lager tasted like vinager, it is £3 a can of Red Stripe in Astoria 2 and to tell the truth at a Christy Moore gig, he stopped the bar during the set and I really didn't notice too much.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
