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.

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.

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
