I went to a local gig the other day, a £2 affair in an upstairs room of a pub. The bands were fine, but that's not the purpose of me posting here.

I had a conversation with one of the other punters afterwards, who had been to Sonisphere. Somehow she managed to get backstage - -- and even onstage at one point. She wasn't sure how she did this as she as off her face at the time, but suspects it may have had something to do with sleeping with one of the crew members. Nonetheless, in her less than sober state, she managed to convince herself that Slayer were not Slayer, but some posers pretending to be Slayer, and shouted at them: "YOU'RE NOT FUCKING SLAYER!", on hearing which they were apparently unimpressed.

:lol:

And this is why I do not drink excessively at shows.  Particularly open-air ones since there's bound to be enough pot around to to get a buzz just from LOOKING at the smoke.  I just don't trust myself not to shout something completely idiotic if I were to be inebriated.  However, OTHER PEOPLE shouting idiotic things that are badly received is hilarious.

At the same show, someone after the first song shouted out "Erm, can I just ask a question?". The lead singer said "ok, go on". "What's that down there? It looks weird." "That's a setlist."

Qotsa/soundgarden tonight!

Hoping they'll play B's fav* song spoonman!


*and by fav I mean the one soundgarden song that evokes a similar reaction as when he hears Eddie vedder's voice :lol:
Oh hi

tim

If you get a chance to shout something out that Soundgarden might hear, I would really appreciate it if you could yell:

"When are you going to add some British dates to your sodding tour, you bastards!"

Thanks.

luna

Unfortunately you made your request the morning after the show so I was unable to deliver the message :lol:

Great show, review and setlist will follow when I have time
Oh hi

luna

ok so for an arena show with the worst seats i've had in quite a while this ended up being pretty good. queens awesome as always, this is actually the 4th time i've seen them! i don't care if josh homme is a douchebag he is the shit and his quotes are always hilarious
setlist:
You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
3's & 7's
Sick, Sick, Sick
First It Giveth
Better Living Through Chemistry
Burn the Witch
Make It Wit Chu
Little Sister
Go With the Flow
No One Knows
A Song for the Dead

soundgarden were surprisingly good, really better than i expected. i never saw them live back in the day but i know they had a reputation for being very sloppy live, well they've definitely improved. chris cornell's voice is obviously not what it used to be but not nearly as bad as i expected especially on the older stuff. every time i go into a show, especially of a band i haven't seen live before i choose a song that i would absolutely LOVE to hear...this time it was the very unlikely limo wreck...which they didn't play, but number two on my list was 4th of july and we got that so it was overall a great experience
setlist:
Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Spoonman
Gun
Jesus Christ Pose
Blow Up the Outside World
The Day I Tried to Live
My Wave
Burden in My Hand
Ugly Truth
Fell on Black Days
Loud Love
Drawing Flies
Black Hole Sun
Outshined
Rusty Cage
Superunknown
4th of July

Encore:
Beyond the Wheel
Mailman
Slaves & Bulldozers
Oh hi

tim

With you on 4th July & Limo Wreck, although they'd be the other way round for me. 9 songs from one album!
