I saw them later on in the Point, around 2004, on the last night of the European tour, and it was a brilliant show - band were really in party mood. "Don't go back to Rockville......."

Apart from their awful performance, they left out most of the hits - something they have a tendency to do live, apparently. Awful stuff.

I love New Order - and that's why I went to the gig, I'm not much of a fan of RHCP - but it was a disaster because N.O. weren't the right fit as support. Most of the RHCP fans didn't have a clue who they were and thought they were crap and gave them a load of abuse, with the result that New Order's bassist got really pissed off with them, and the tension just took away from the gig, ruined the atmosphere, and they couldn't wait to be done. Only time seeing them and it was such a disappointment, as I'd really been dying to see New Order in concert.

trackguy wrote: » The best & worst gigs I've been to were both Ryan Adams gigs. He played the Ambassador with the Cardinals - 5/6 years ago and it was brilliant. Great sound, excellent set list and the band was so tight. Very little interaction from Mr Adams, which was to be expected. Went to see him solo in the Olympia a few years back. Dreadful. He sounded ok but wouldn't stop complaining about people making noise. Real childish ****e like when someone got up to go to the toilet - "Jeez, you guys drink too much" or some guy sneezes and he says "you guys should drink more orange juice, vitamin c blah blah blah". Twat.

I saw him in The Heritage Hotel about 6-7 years back, was part of some trad festival thingy that was on in Portlaoise at the time. I knew things were'nt starting off well, when the admission was free in and the hall was poorly attended. McGowans band consisted of Mundy and Sharon Shannon and members of De Dannen. Sharon Shannon did her part, was actually good, Mundy warbled out his songs , "Galway Girl" included (how i hate that song!!!). Anyway Shane McGowan was meant to be on stage at 10pm, didnt show up till 11pm, worse for wear (surprise, surprise!!!), slumped over the microphone stand , tried to straighten himself up, fell over twice, bellowed into the microphone and practically crawled off stage after 15 minutes, then guess what, good old Mundy starts bellowing out "Galway Girl" again , before you know it, the natives were getting restless and I think this permeated its way up to the stage, where Mundy quickly wrapped up his set and the band stomped off the stage quickly, it was eventful , I'll give you that.

In fairness it was a ticket someone gave me for free , fortunately I didn't pay. I know I was in the minority.

I remember him talking about all the people sniffling and sneezing, he metioned he should get some fruit upstage and smash it with a sledgehammer, "Gallagher" style (American comedian) straight into teh audience. However there are times in some of his performances, where he can act like an arrogant git. Like he is talented and he knows it, but sometimes in a smug way that ,can be pain, like "im up here on stage and your down there" sort of attitude, that can be annoying sometimes..........

Anyways most of the crowd, myself included, were only there because they were waiting for whoever was on next. Band were playing pretty badly so people started giving them abuse, then someone threw an Ireland flag up on stage. Now obviously the protocol in that situation is to drape it round your shoulders and go "Yeah!" or "Woo" or "We love Ireland" or something along those lines. Muppet of a singer just picked it up, looked at it like "dafuq am I supposed to do with this" and tossed it back. Write off after that, you couldn't hear them over the booing.
