The Rolling Stones coming here on the 17th May that's all that matters

Ironically Ed is playing Phoenix Park that same week. 16/18/19 May. Maybe he might pop in for a song with the stones or he prob be visiting family ?

Saw them in Slane in 1982 (I'm getting very old!) and they weren't great then ... I'd be fairly confident that they haven't got better over the years! I'd actually prefer to be at Ed Sheeran!

Dude I hate to break it to you but this goes for everyone other rich bloke in the world.

No, it's possible to be good looking and filthy rich at the same time.

For the ladies, George Clooney or Bon Jovi.

For the lads, Google Tamara Ecclestone.

Nuff said.

Tell you this much though, I think LITERALLY everyone in Cork is going to one of the shows. I've lost count of the number of conversations I've had like, "Yeah we're going to see Ed Sheeran on Sunday." "What?!? What are you going to see that little ginger fartbollix for??" "Well, he's a good singer, and I hear he puts on a decent show!" "Yeah, I'm going on Saturday..." :pac::pac::pac:

Everyone in Cork? How many Cork people did you meet?

It's the bank of mam and dad that has Ed where he is. He makes sh1te songs that appeal to young girls and mammy and daddy will do cartwheels to make sure they see him. Then he gets in on the double as the little teeny boppers need an adult with them.

I remember first seeing posters for his albums at Dart stations, I thought, given his name and 'stood outside Trinity' appearance he was just some small time Irish artist, like Lisa Hannigan, I didn't think he'd become some stellar, when he did I checked out his music and found it all vanilla, inoffensive but instantly forgettable.

Hundreds of thousands of basic bitches out there - each one with a bulging purse fulling of white hot cash.

I need to examine this market...

In fairness there's also ageing teeny-boppers like Woman and I, looking for a decent excuse for a bit of a Sunday ran-tan!

True but not everyone who will be at the gigs is a horny 14 year old girl accompanied by a jaded but curious parent.

Be choc a block these gigs with adults willingly and "hen do's" all polluted drunk floping about in their cowboy hats and flourescent armbands. Suppose the booze helps drown out the God awful crap coming from Broke student chic looking chancer on stage.

There are many injustices in the world I can turn a blind eye to. Ed Sh’Ran being so successful is not one of those…

FÜCK YOU ED SH’RAN

Yeah, if you're over the age of 65. It's no surprise they're having problems shifting tickets when half their fans are dead. And I wouldn't expect a very energetic show when they've all got one foot in the grave themselves!

Peter Aiken is quoted as saying this week that in his opinion Ed Sheeran is the greatest rock star in the world.
We had April 1 thirty four days ago.

Now that's a reasonably comical statement. I'd put Ginger-Nuts in the same drawer as James Blunt, i.e. a crooner who gets some of the ladies singing Ave Maria nicely with their genitals, especially if they have drink taken, but is otherwise unremarkable. He's no rock star.

04-05-2018 02:52PM

There's no such thing as "Rock Stars" anymore.

cantdecide · 04-05-2018 02:59PM

He's got some talent but there's just no way he deserves the fame he has gotten. He seems like a decent bloke and I'm glad when people are doing well from humble beginnings but I wonder if he knows how lucky he's been - I suspect he does.

Conall Cernach · 04-05-2018 03:02PM

He's seems a nice chap alright and certainly there are far worse than him making fortunes in the music business but I find him to be like a solo version of Coldplay.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 04-05-2018 03:04PM

I'm working in Cork city centre and there's a definite buzz of oestrogen and hysteria around the place yeah. And a lot of parents with a thousand yard stare.

Jumped on the bad wagon, obviously, and did some special products, the wee girls are screaming and laughing just from seeing his name on things, they might actually die when they see him in person.

Anyways, kerching!

GavRedKing · 04-05-2018 03:06PM

There was some puke inducing garbage on 2FM about claiming him as Irish, I didnt listen long enough to know why this was the case.

You also had a Cork radio station, Red FM change their digital name to Ed FM for the weekend so it pops up like that in your cars and what not.

Talent aside, of which I think he poses very little, hes playing about 500 metres away from our office and the traffic and disrupt is pretty bad, starting from 6pm yesterday, I'd hate to be a resident in the area, it must be torture having to listen to that eejit for 3 nights.

I remember reading an interview with Chris Martin years ago (I have no idea why) but he said he thought Coldplay weren't that good. My admiration for him increased hugely!

His grandparents are from and live in Wexford.

Lizard people conspiracy, no surprise we see an Ed Sheeran tour at the same time as a royal baby and wedding, I called it months ago.

haha. It does surprise me how people dont see it as being cheesy contrived and trite.

Put it this way. If ya saw him busking with a group of young ones fawning at him looking on gooey eyed on the Street youd think bloody cheesy chancer on the horn.

Do exact same in a stadium?. Rock Legend.

Whatever about that - suddenly we're seeing Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in in the same room together, and His Gingeness is playing three concerts in Cork?? Come off it!

What else would you expect from a concert promoter as he laughs his way to the bank.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 04-05-2018 04:33PM

Not my cup of tea at all but I respect the fact that he writes and plays his own material.

Happy to see somebody like that hugely popular instead of some processed pop ****e.

Think you missing a point. He is the epitome of processed pop shyte.
The big buzinessmen who created him would go through his tunes with a fine comb.
He is Mr Manufactured as such.
