It all comes down to respect, there is none, none of these scumbags respect life or law.

I would agree with you both but it has to be realised like Joe said but the other way round....not if the old Raves were open today but if guns were as freely available back 15 years ago would it have been any different than it is today???......unfortunatley there was even back then two elements to the whole Rave culture, not just the ASYLUM or SIDES but in the OLYMPIC also.....there was all the buzzers who were immersed in what the Rave experience is all about, everyone coming together in one place to create a feeling of Unity & Ecstasy:).......cheesy as it might sound it only is really Ecstatic when everyone is on the same wave lenght & are anticipating & loving the tunes together:D.....then you had the bad side of the whole thing that is inevitable or there would be no Ecstasy taken at the Rave.....the money that is made from the drugs that make the Rave what it is becomes the stage for violence related to money that can be made from the supply:(.....if you stood back & panned around the OLYMPIC, SIDES & no need to look in the ASYLUM you could see the heads there to make money & nothing else.....You would come across them in the middle of the Dancefloor also just barging there way through the crowd thinking they were the crack & you should somehow have to be afraid of em
, one sorry fuc.ker thught he was invincible one night until he did that to my mate Richie who put him in his place in two seconds flat if you catch my drift & we went back buzzing the way we always did:p
Unfortunatley i think it has always been there but the availability of guns today shows how ruthless people are in this country........Money/Stature/Image over A Life just is not right:mad:0 -

Often thought about this myself. I think back to when I started going to the Olympic, well before the Asylum was even open and the atmosphere there was something special. It was definitley our Woodstock (not my quote someone said it here before) something brand new. Now there was no coke or bad vibes but I can only remember one set of people who thought they owned the place, the Mitchells. But we were still nieve back then and probably the whole rave scene which initially was new and all that jazz soon got hijacked by greed for profit and 'gear'(heroin). I knew lads from Tymon, Kilnamanagh and Crumlin who talked about this stuff 'Tack' which was great for come downs. Thats was the first of the bad side I seen. After that they'd be skaggin up on the balcony every week. But with 25 punt a pop being paid it was never going to be long before violence and trouble followed:(
I can remember the atmosphere changing around early to mid 94 when the Olympic was heaving with 'new comers' and the first hint of 'The Rasher Brigade'. Wasn't long before the rashers swapped the Olympic for the Asylum only to get it the bogey vibe so many talk about. Que sera sera.......
Fair play to you some serious uploading your doing there KEY;)0 -

Excellent.
When I was getting the Christmas decorations I found a box of my old tapes, all recordings of recordings etc, not much good for on here. But what I did find is a bit of history....
I used to listen to the Sound Crowd Breakfast show on Sunset on Sunday nights all the time, Mr. Fantastic/Tim Hannigan presented it and he used to do a BUZZ chart top 20. Anyway, I still have the tape with the show he did the weekend the Olympic Ballroom closed. He spends the complete show on a big rant about dance music and the link to drugs, closing the Ballroom etc, he goes on and on, it's funny.
He also mentions the giveaway of the 100 free Olympic State EP's by the Sound Crowd - I got one
did anyone else???
I had the show recorded on two tapes, I've only found one so far, fingers crossed I find the other.
Cheers,
MickI have a software programme called Cool Edit Pro. You plug the headphone or Mic jack (not sure exactly which one) on your PC into 'Line Out' one on your hi-fi tape deck and it records away. I dont know the name of the lead but its one which has the same small jacks (like the earphone jack) at both ends.
Once this is done you have a number of options to clean the hiss etc etc.
I haven't had a chance to master this yet as the bloddy tape deck broke but I'm dying to get some excellent tapes on here which are as rare as hens teeth.
I'm sure the place in town Ro is talking about would do a better job but I wonder what they would think of my collection of 100 or so tapes:D0 -

I have a tape with the Sound Crowd doing an interview on Sunset 106 and they bang out a few tunes too. Fairly good it is. Will be one of the first tapes I convert.0 -
