Aye yeah it definitely is believable that it could have happened for all the reasons you stated and the fact that it was the asylum and there were no rules but I never saw one garda on his own in there. That was the bit I could never get my head around, how one garda could be stupid enough to risk chasing someone in there by himself?

I doubt he was in there on his own cos my mate was saying the place was been raided so i persume there would have been a few of them in there!
For all the 'asylum babies' on this thread, what would you say came the closest of the other raves in dublin to been like the asylum?
I just about did every other rave in dublin around that time except the olympic and always thought the top floor in sides was pretty special when in full flow.:pac::pac::pac:

I did like the buzz on the top floor of sides too but the bottom floor had some great buzzers on it...i did like the downstairs in the TEMPLE much later too & the waterfront also but none really had that menacing energy that was unrelenting from start to finish....it didnt really have a peak time....from 12 midnight to 7-8am it was full on break your FUC KIN neck tunes....i remember distinctly the likes of Cowgirl, Its not over yet, Nicolai, Reincarnation, Dreams, Cosmonautica, Violet rain, pilgrimage to paradise, Visions of shiva- perfect day...being played after 6am regularly.....so to answer the question none came close:D

For me Sides DC was the only club that came close for atmosphere and freedom to the Asylum. They were two very different clubs but the same idealism of an underground club and a hedonistic sub culture prevailed in both clubs. All the clubs of that era were special in there own way but the asylum stands out on it's own for me. Could never put my finger on it but it always felt like home for me. Mad ****ed up crazy and free anything went and yet I always felt safe in there despite not being a hard ass or even a townie as we refered to dubs lol but everyone just seemed to mix outside the normal rules of society in there and I don't think that even Sides had that.

Bough this Vinyl after hearing it in Sides or the Olympic ,cant remember which.
http://rapidshare.com/files/135027456/Suzette_Charles_-_Free_To_Love_Again_-_01_Safe_Hands_Italian_Kick_Ars_Mix.mp3

Finally have myself sorted properly to rip my vinyl to mp3,though still having some minor Vista problems.Over the next couple of months I will be ripping them all and I will post the best of them here as I go.
Sadly some arent as good as they should be,ny own fault for getting wasted at parties and heading off only to return a couple of days later looking for my decks and records .
Looking for anyone with Vinyl collections that are willing to rip and trade.
More to come...

Looking for that song for a long time,
never knew the name of it,
F**king Brill tune, Allways raised the place back then,
Cheers for the upload Antoinb......:D

Bumped into a mate of mine from years gone by who was an 'asylum baby', he reckons at one stage the asylum was that mental that anytime it got raided there was ppl running up to the garda asking them if they were looking for E!!!! One memorable story of his was watching a guard chasing someone up the stairs to the second floor and whoever it was just stopped half way up, turned around and kicked him straight back down them! Any truth to that story?
He reckons at one stage there was a robot on one of the dance floors but he was that fcuked he doesn't know whether he was tripping or not:pac::pac::pac:

I actually seen Garda twice in the Asylum. Once two of them were walking through the second floor at the street end, and someone snatched a hat off one of their heads and threw it like a frisby across the room. Dont know who he was or even if they caught him, after all they were in 'OUR HOUSE'
Another time two of them were walking down the stairs at about 4 in the morning and were about half way down the stairs facing the cool pop bar when Lionrocks track - Carnival (Are You Willing To Testify) was on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsfptRjyRuc
I was standing right beside them. You know that bit in the song when it goes 'I Wanna See A Sea Of Hands Out There....................You Have 5 Seconds To Testify Are You Ready To Testify' and at this stage everyone spontaneously stopped dancing and just stood there listening to that and at the end the whole place about 500 people downstairs screamed at the same time 'YEAH', jumped up and started dancing again. I even think the DJ held the track back for a split second before the beat kicked back in again which may have sparked this reaction but it was genuinely spontaneous. The Asylum had just been ratcheted up 2 gears!. It was if it was rehersed, and the two Garda just looked at each other and smiled for a brief second as if they 'Got It' and continued walking down the stairs, nobody even took any notice of them, where they ever in here before, who knows. I wonder what they thought if they ever went through The Arches and into the other realm. This experience for me was priceless and it is the one memory I cherish the most from my forays in The Asylum:p

That's pure class mate, and i persume all the 'asylum babies' got it back for him and chucked in a couple of doves as a sweetner:D.
Don't be doing much of the rave scene anymore but always on the look out for a savage, in the this day and age where would you think would be a good spot for a good 12 hr dance off, don't think i could handle a weekender anymore due to been the wrong side of 30 ha ha:D

Wouldn't have a clue mate. I went to radio city a few times for oldskool nites recently. All the old music, great but atosphere wouldn't come anywhere near to the old clubs but if you can get out, Get Out! I seen the flyers here on boards but to be honest I couldn't and wouldn't let myself get to deep into the whole scene again. Trying to just keep it to the music, will always luv that.
But if something special comes up I'll be in like a hot snot out of a greasy nostril for one last go, again!

Absolutely man, not trying to chase a lost buzz, have them locked into d memory bank:), don't think think we'll ever re-kindle asylum/sides/ormonde etc but a good old rave without the gargle would go a long way, new o2 arena for a good old fashion rave :pac::pac::pac:

What a story, the best yet. They probably came in the next week for a night out:D

I never saw the Garda in any club when I was out, it must have been a strange sight. The only time I came accross them was queuing up for Sides one summers evening, we were all just coming up and the jaws starting to go mad. The Garda were walking up and down the queue and pulling people out and searhing them, it was freaky, do you look at them? or do you keep your head down? then you look like your hiding something.
Anyway, we got in and had a great night but a few lads got taken away.

Cheers,
Mick

Pricks have little to be doing, they used to park a squad car outside the ormond at the side corner aswel,fair enough no scraps really or bad vibes BUT in fairness 2,500 nutters walking out of the place, about 2,300 of them unable to walk anyway haha, :pac::pac::pac:

I never saw a fight or felt any bad vibes in the Olympic/Sides/Ormond but one night I went into Grouchos, I didn't enjoy it at all, there was a few lads hanging around the jacks and near the bottom of the dj box, they kept coming over to us and standing around us and trying to get one of us to start something, we didn't, I think they were just coke heads, which was rare at the time.

Ah what a great memory....almost a carbon copy experience i had was in the Rave in the basketball arena 1994,

A whole load of garda were there (about 20) all night against the wall by the entrance doors not hassling anyone just standing back letting people do their thing & about 1am or so not to sure but it was a good bit into the proceedings the DJ played this tune from the start........
http://rapidshare.com/files/135481717/4th_dimension_pure_dream.mp3.html
When it stops in the middle to build up again to a kick ass break everyone in the whole place like you had just said stopped dancing when it was building up & went off the Radar when it broke to which you could see some of the garda smile to.....maybe they did 'get it' & were bulling they ever decided to become a Garda:D

Johnnyd1977

Never had any hassle off guards in clubs but came across plain clothes in sides a couple of times looking for E's, i remember them approaching me before and being that smart litttle bollix i was at the time i sent them over to my my mate (knowing he had nothing) and the only answer he could give was qxputorwenmtidghsxz!!!??

Heres a funny one....i remember a bouncer from the WATERFRONT used to get on with from ballier think his name was Jay Kavanagh...used to have a goatie & wore a bomber jacket all the time...anyway i was buzzing off him one night up near a set of emergency exit doors if i can remember right they were up a small flight of steps to the rear of the building & the place got raided...you would expect the patrons of a Rave to be trying to leg it or sky stuff offside but as soon as he seen the garda he bailed out the emergency doors & legged it:eek:
Seen him in there again a week or two later & he just laughed it off sarcastically saying they wanted him for not paying tax on his car:D

Yeah what I remember from that night is that the Garda were very low key. Strange since they were the same ones who would harass us regularly. I was on red alert that night making sure I was beside St. Johns Ambulance staff at the front door for a good while. Paranoid cause I was so mad out of it after taking E to get of an acid buzz:eek:
Ended up in a gaf in Clondalkin or Lucan that night for a mad one. There was a pregnant girl there mad out of it. I said this to her fella and he said no shes not and he believed her. Then after begging him for e he gave her one. I said are you mad, she's pregnant. He said well the kid is not mine. OooooKaaaayyyy!

There was this girl I used to buzz with up on the balcony in the Olympic. She was a mad thing and would indulge in the Mad Bastards. I couldn't believe it when I seen her 'On The Beat' in full Garda uniform:eek: about 2 years ago.
She was tall with black hair but I wouldn't put her name up here.

Does anyone remember, being in the Q for Sides, I think it was the summer,
because it was hot outside, not sure, but anyway, do you remember being in the Q, and there was some bloke OUT OF HIS BOX, with no top on all over the place, Walking out onto the main road outside Sides, F**king out of his box ,he didn't know where he was, flying out of his head, kept staggering out into traffic , nearly getting knocked down, I thing the bouncers or the cops dragged him off the road.?

I got them a couple of monts ago, some from the flats say there better than "E", I took them , and I would say there a bit more like Acid...
