6 common gig gripes

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

And when you do finally get served, its Carling.

And it costs £5 a pint.
Could be worse.

People who fekin talk through a gig, erseholes, me, mags and Cameron went to Manchester to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, there was some tosser who, one, sparked up a spliff in the venue, when I turned and glared at him he put it out, then, proceeded to yap for the first few songs, I had to have a word with him, he shut up, tit.
Why would you go to a gig just to talk all the way through, bloody cretin.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

As happened at the Tori Amos O2 Academy Gig a week or so back that I attended with Erudite and HalfmanII.

Not even on draft. They only had warm cans that weren't even a full Pint emptied into a plastic Pint-sized pot :? :evil:

Not strictly a gig gripe. I just wish gigs weren't all so far away! But I do get to see you groovy people on occasion! :D
