Moderators Zico Posted March 15 Moderators Share Posted March 15 talking of arenas, anyone doing Coop Live this year? tempted by the pet shop boys i could possibly be persuaded to do smashing pumpkins and weezer (same night) i do like the latter in terms of having listened to some of their albums don't mind the SPs, their hits are decent enough, but never listened to an album I'd go on the condition that they both just played their well known hits and did an hour each couldn't be doing with 3 hours of album and lesser known tracks https://www.cooplive.com/events?page=1#page_part_54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Mary Wallopers were excellent last night. It might be because as you get older you forget but was the worst gig I've been to for folk just standing around talking like they were stood in a pub. At one point when they were going to do Wexford which is more of an emotional thing for them the lad said summat on the lines of "if anyone is talking at the side of you during this feel free to break their fucking jaw".

I was next door watching Jerry Sadowitz. Gutted both gigs clashed but saw Mary Wallopers 3 or 4 times last year. They're brilliant. We came out of Academy 2 at about 25 past 9 and I was surprised by people walking out of the Mary Wallopers gig. I should have tried to sneak in.

It narrowly missed out to a steak butty (can't remember the fancier title) from Tallow. It was belting to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the Mrs were only discussing this, this week. Is it a post covid thing? The number of gigs we've been to where we've ended up moving cos some w*nkers are out for a chat/shout rather than listening to the feckin music.

Yeah my Mrs whose pretty small in height likes to be at the back to see and the amount of beanie hatted twats just talking through quiet style gigs (Big Thief springs to mind immediately as she got into an argument with a bloke as he just wouldn't shut up even on their really quiet songs) is on the increase. Same with theatre - its bizarre the amount of people being thrown out pissed and shouting along to musicals of late, since the pandemic its like no one gives a shit about other people in collective spaces.

Moderators Carlos Posted March 18 Moderators Share Posted March 18 I think... I'm an introvert, it's a 50/50 split in the population, approximately. Where society has an extroversion bias, ie these people more likely to be a blurt, be that pub bore or twitter nobhead. Anyway, my theory is they legit can't handle the fact everyone is here to watch someone else, not them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, my theory is they legit can't handle the fact everyone is here to watch someone else, not them. I'm probably a extrovert and I'm as quiet as a church mouse at gigs other than clapping or if it's a loud gig and I decide to go down the front when everyone else is bouncing around but that's a rarity these days. Usually in the seated area if there is one or as I say at the back. Being an extrovert doesn't mean you're a selfish prick. Some of the biggest pains in the arse I've met are misanthropic introverts.

Smiley Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Went to the “theatre” last night, was actually the Octagon to see “Something About George”. Live band with story telling about George Harrison. Was really good. Band were tight as fuck. However, seats behind us, some bloke was squeaking his trainer against the seat in front, only for a couple of songs, but enough to make you wanna turn around and smack the fidgety fuck. That said, he stopped after a few folk gave him “the look”. Same fuckwit also thought it was great to finish off sentences, questions, etc from the lead singer when he was telling stories, muttering out facts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennboltw Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Couldn't make John Bramwell in Manchester the other week so going to Sheffield in November, his new stuff is brilliant but I'm still a big fan of the I am Kloot track's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I left uni started working in the Geen Room (now Gorilla I think) and they used to pop in for after hours. I Am Kloot are one if the greatest bands in the world, and Bramwell is a world class songwriter. Best gig was Camden - saw them in 2012 there I think at the apollo in Manchester- really boring I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top bloke. Speaking of folk chatting at gigs, saw him bollock several people at the Old Courts in Wigan who were all gabbing at the bar, while he was playing!
