Chinafoot

shivface

er... go alone?

Ro: maaan!

Absolutly go alone! Do you want to go or not like... I'm goin' "on me tobler" as they say.

Chinafoot

never went to a gig alone.........be a bit weird.
(no offence to those that go alone)

I can understand that. The idea of going to the cinema with people seems a little strange to me. You're not gonna be talking to them (unless you're an annoying person). I know it's slightly different for a gig. You can chat between bands and stuff. And the odd comment during the set. But mainly you're just gonna be watching the band. Company takes care of itself tbh.

Faddymackshyte

I would definitly go to ANY gig alone! I always wander off on my own anyway so it never seems to make a difference, unless you are queueing up outside for ages and you need someone to talk to.......then yeah, company is great....other than that I'd go alone!

i'm robs lil brother, i got tickets..............sitting....

Anton17

I bought my ticket yesterday, when i got home i noticed it was for the upper circle sitting. I asked the guy for a ground floor ticket WTF!!!
Im really pissed off. Watching from the stands is like watchin it on tv.
Will ticketmaster take it back or have mcd just swindled me out of more money.

Ro: maaan!

No. Ticketmaster tickets are non refundable. Ground floor has been sold out for about a month anyway.

jmc

Apartment are support on the tour. Anyone got any links to them?

CountryWise

All i can say is what a gig,what a gig. The set list was brilliant.
Anyone else there last night?

nachos

have to agree with you there. absolutely amazing gig. highlights of the evening had to be lucky denver mint, sweetness and pain.
i've seen them twice before and this time was the best, the amount of energy they put into it just blew me away!
great crowd aswell, really up for it.

so to sum up, gig = good!

irishraven

Yeah i was there and it was brill!!! I am defo getting the new album, had heard mixed reports but after last night, I'm sold!

nachos

i think it's always a good sign that the gig rocked if the next morning you have a pounding head and you still ache all over:D
It's a good pain!

ferdi

yeah, great gig, shed loads of energy....i got completely cained before hand so i felt a bit queezy in the gig...

calex71

the only downer was they didn't do "if you don't, don't"
"kill" was fantastic at the start with just Jimmy on stage first.

Did any one get any pictures????????????????????

melekalikimaka

I'm not the biggest fan, i had a college dinner thingy on last night and i couldnt go, was a bit pissy bout it, but walking to down under after i found an unused ticket at the bus stop at like 12, crazy, it must have been a sign

CountryWise

Ya i actually still ache all over,my head is still sore,KIll at the start was a brilliant way to start and to introduce the band!excellent,the merch wasnt great though only thing,god it was sweaty i actually thought bout getting a new t shirt

CountryWise

oh and did that we hope to be back in the summer sound like an appearance at OXEGEN to anybody else?

nachos

that's what it sounded like to me! afaik, they're touring with green day who are headlining oxegen.
twice in one year would be fantastic!

Dave Larkin

Oh, the gig's over, eh? How was it? I'm a big fan of Jimmy Eat World but I was only told about the gig very recently and I've already bought tickets for Coldplay! Low on cash, you see...

So, how was it?

Ro: maaan!

If when you say unused you mean the bit at the side wasn't ripped off then it probably was used. They were just scanning them through and not ripping it off.


Not a bad gig at all. Apartment not playing really messed up the timing for the whole gig. But otherwise good. Marshall Stars had some good songs. Was expecting Jimmy Eat World to play more from Futures, and less from Bleed American. I'd have liked to hear more from The Singles. But it was a very good set. Best song was probably Lucky Denver Mint or Sweetness.

What was with them wearing the same shirts?

Creamy Goodness

i sure hope they don't play oxygen, i'd prefer them to play another gig gig if you know what i mean.

it was an absolutely mental night first time seeing them though long time fan.

highlights were definitely - A praise chorus, Bleed american, Lucky denver mint and sweetness.

*EDIT* i should slap myself i forgot get it faster. don't worry i'm hanging my head in shame

Well i seen them in Witnness a couple of years ago and it was different but still good!and they are much more famous now so could be good with thousands there

Creamy Goodness

i'm not saying it won't be good for them, it's just that like how much is a ticket to oxegen? 65 euros?

that's not worth it to see jimmy eat world play, they'd probably play at like 2 o clock in the day time.

it be much better if they have a more intimate gig like olympia/ambassador etc.

Brerrabbit

Great gig; have seen them before and they are always deadly. really enjoyed it; I'm sold on the new album, am going to pick it up pretty soon. Could only get sitting tickets tho IMO a gig isnt a gig unless you're exhausted and stinky after it I tried my best but was a little stymied by the olympias' garden gnome chairs.

Yeah "back in the summer" sounds a bit like an oxegen appearance allright. Hopefully tho it will be in the ambassador or Olympia again.

nachos

i don't think they'd don two european tours so close together in the one year. if they are coming back, it's most likely to be with them doing the festival circuit, oxegen, t in the park, etc

Ro: maaan!

They played twich in 2002. January and May I think.

nachos

yeh, forgot about that. they also played witnness that year iirc.
saw the first two gigs in the tbmc and the ambassador.
tuesday's gig surpassed the two of them imo!

Ro: maaan!

Yea, Witnness was the same year. Didn't much like the Witnness show, but the other two were brilliant. Better than this one I reckon. Well... TBMC anyway.

curious_george

Best song had to be Authority Song, can't believed they played that!

Yall should check out www.jimmyeatworld.com then look for the blog section, there's a great picture they took and some really sweet comments about Dublin.

Kalina

I wasn't a Jimmy Eat World fan at all, mostly cos I was just unaware of the band I guess. But was invited to the gig by a friend at the last minute on Tuesday and thought it was terrific. I'll definitely be checking out more of their music in the futute.

Oh yea. I remember being very pissed off I missed that. Didn't know Jimmy Eat World played though. Thought it was just the Foos. Now I'm even more pissed off...

nachos

confirmed for oxegen:D i'm gonna be quite the happy camper! geddit?!

Ro: maaan!

Yea. Good news alright. But as far as camping goes the addition of Snoop Dogg will probably make the experience less enjoyable...
