If only there had been someone you know who could have told you from the outset that it would be PISH...

Now, now missus. I saw them at The Barras in '94 and was knocked sideways.
I'm not a big fan of The Barras either, in my day it was all Apollo round here.
I really prefer The Garage these days. I saw Type O there

On a more +ve note (and more pervy).there seemed to be a competition between the young girlies to see who could wear the least clothing.

I saw NIN play Dublin in the early 90's .It was so disapointing that it pretty much put me of them completly.Mind you the new stuff sounds pretty good.

10 /10 from me 
, never seen them before but I was most impressed, it was a proper loud as f**k gig, no gimmicks, just a few lights and a totally professional Band who were right on the money for every song, a good mix of Old & New materiel, as Pat says, the Academy is not the best place to see a gig but that aside and despite my "Magical Mystery Tour" of Glesga and a slight altercation with a Guy in Partick who couldn't drive to save his pathetic life, it was a great night

(random delurk).
I'm going tonight, though to be honest I'm not expecting much as the last Barrowlands show was just 'ok' rather than great, and the Academy is a much worse venue than the Barras

I've been to the Academy on 3 occasions so far and never had a bad night, mind it is just round the cornerDerekR wrote:Unless of course it's The Charlatans playing and it turns out to be the best gig of your 39 years on this planet...or is that just me?Pat wrote:If I've said it once I've said it at least once.The Glasgow Academy is a s**t place for a gig.

It should be noted for the record that all the cool kids went to the second Glasgow gig.
Personally, I thought they delivered quite an impressive wall of sound. I understand the setlist was pretty different for the two nights - highlights for me were Terrible Lie, Reptile and the closer Head Like A Hole.
Sadly, there didn't seem to be much nubile young flesh on display. There I was, expecting full-on Industrial BDSM debauchery, only to find that I was probably the most outrageously dressed person there... Honestly, black T-shirts and leather jackets. Kids today.
And I was moderately (if genuinely) impressed with the support act Ladytron. A cross between Switchblade Symphony, Siouxsie, and a 21st century female-fronted Kraftwerk. Weird.

Saw them at the Eden Project and they were very good indeed - remarkably tight as a band, yet very human regardless of the amount of electronics on show.smiscandlon wrote:And I was moderately (if genuinely) impressed with the support act Ladytron.

If I may be allowed a moment of weakness, Mira's cute little dancing is a sight to behold.
Oh, and you score 17 bonus CarpyPoints for mentioning Siouxsie. Well done !

Ladtron are the support act?!!!!
Woo-hoo!I'm glad I'm going now.
I'm not being sarcastic either,loved 'em since I saw 'em doing "Seventeen" on Jools Holland years ago.

Just reading up about the Avalanche-esque names they give to their four on-stage synthesizers - Babylon, Ulysses, Cleopatra and, erm ...

I'm going to see NIN in Brum on Monday. I got offered 2 tickets to see them and told Hom Corleone that he could have the other one who was well chuffed, however..... the friend who said I could have his tickets now told me that there was only one available. How do I tell Hom that he can't go now

Yes... a charming and tasty offer, kind sir, but you're alright - I've got the Soulseek y'see, so I can just go a-downloading... Posted: 03 Mar 2007, 02:27
@ Sunsonic, remind him he's a Dad now
@ Claire, Ladytron were work-person like, at best and we've seen greater
@ Steven, I think I am the only HLer that didn't flip his wig over NIN
Sorry.
It doesn't mean I'm a bad person or that I don't like you guys. I do - FACT!
does it...?

Oh well, I would have probably made a twit of myself anyway.
