just been to see battles.......

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.25.2007, 05:44 AM

excellent live band. real real good. i never saw em before and missed them the last 3 times they were in ireland. at last i caught them, well worth the trip but yknow, now i have seen em, i have no desire to see them again, unlike many bands that you would want to watch again and again. a battles gig is a very one off thing.... anyone else feel that?

davenotdead · 08.25.2007, 10:38 AM

i think im going to see them in a month exactly from today...such a trip though...but it will also be my first time in sydney....

greenlight · 08.25.2007, 12:38 PM

you went Paul? I wanted to go, but changed my mind in the end. bollox.

atsonicpark · 08.25.2007, 02:35 PM

was alvin of the chipmunks singing during this?

nicfit · 08.25.2007, 03:30 PM

And I guess theodore was on the drums.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.25.2007, 03:36 PM

it was the largest crows outside a festival that they ever played to! completely sold out, i was lucky i got a guestlist due to my illustrious connections. they adore ireland. theyve played 8 gigs over here in the last 12 months and are coming back to do a 10 date tour early next year.

i spoke to ty and dave after the gig in the bar and they are perplexed why they are so huge over here. next thing they will be supporting the chemical brothers in a field at 4 in the afternoon with about 1000 people there.... that usually happens with bands in ireland, "oh look, they are critically acclaimed, lets put them on a unsuitable bill and charge €70 to see em for 30 minutes..."

great gig but ive seen em now and im happy.............. stainer has to be seen to be believed, he was the highlight of the show, amazing drumming........

strictlycommercial · 08.25.2007, 06:25 PM

Yeah, I was at that gig and I'd kinda agree with you. Glad I went & worth the price but I doubt I'll go next time they come around (at least not untill they have a new album out).
Stanier was a fucking sight to behold, such a big man, such a small drum-kit.
I thought it was a weird audience, they kind of seemed to fade in and out, like everyone was really tired or something. Still a good show though.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.26.2007, 04:18 AM

majority of the crowd were to concentratred not trying not to stroke their chin..... or tryingto dance to em. i mean you are gonna look like a tool dancing to battles arent you.....

i love the dublin muso scene, its sooo, erm, poseuring in an unposeuring way. its like, "yeah, im the shit, im so cool...erm, well, im kinda cool, i think.....am i,????"

atsonicpark · 08.26.2007, 07:08 AM

i was really seriously inquiring if they did those "crazy" alvin and the chipmunks vocals

nicfit · 08.26.2007, 07:18 AM

they obviously did, adam. check youtube for live vids, they do the singing and all.

atsonicpark · 08.26.2007, 08:12 AM

Haha, I know they do, I was just hoping for Pauly to give me some hilarious insight. Like, "yeah man alvin started singing while the chipmunks bashed away and I fuckin lost my balls" .. okay, that wasn't hilarious. Pauly'd be hilarious though!

atari 2600 · 08.26.2007, 08:23 AM

I'd see 'em again.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.26.2007, 02:30 PM

sorry adam, yeah alvin was there but john stainers crash stand fell on him and squashed him a bit. chipmunk gizzards everywhere...... theodore was real upset! tyondai used alvins remains for his hairpiece.......... via the laptop......

by the way, he wouldnt tell m the atlas lyrics... he said that they would be too stupid to speak out loud! ian williams said basicaly that you really dont need to know them!

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.26.2007, 02:31 PM

got to say tho. stainer is some drummer. i thought brian chippendale was good. fuckin hell...................

atari 2600 · 08.26.2007, 02:34 PM

wish i had recorded 'em

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.26.2007, 02:36 PM

that boot you sent was the identical set list as they played friday btw!

gmku · 08.26.2007, 06:12 PM
