    I've never saw him live, but I think I'd rather cut my knob off than watch a Michael Buble concert.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,605 ✭✭✭OldRio


    I remember a good few years ago the wife persuaded me to buy tickets for a Dire Straits concert.
    2 fecking hours of my life that woman owes me.
    2 FECKING hours.

    Was anyone here at that Cat Stevens concert in the 02 a few years back? You know the one where a heckler made headlines by shouting out "Play Peace Train You Fcuking Bollocks". Apparently he played all obscure and new material and even brought out special guest Ronan Keating at one stage who was met by a chorus of boos from the frustrated audience.

    The Three Stages of Elvis performed by the Craggy Island Trio.

    With DJ Father Billy 'The Spinmaster' O'Dwyer and Liam "The Dancing Priest" Finnegan as a curtain raiser.

    The only people who like Bruce Springsteen are culchie college students up in the 'big smoke' for a few years doing their degrees.

    I can see them all now, jumping around some bar in the city centre at 2am, absolutely mangled drunk, thinking they're 'rocking out' to Bruce. Absolutely tragic stuff.

    I wasn't expecting much. I didn't think he'd be that bad live. We only went because we were staying in the hotel. The first we knew about it was when every middle aged woman for miles around turned up.

    No mentions for Daniel O'Donnell yet? I'd rather stab myself in the ear drums with 6" nails.
