Never heard of it. Is that an American thing or would I find it here in the People's Republic of Roy? (I can just hear ppl now "Jeex does she ever shut up about him????")

It is a mexican beer. I don't know if you can get it in Ireland. Maybe in a liquor store? Corona is a fake mexican beer I think.

corcaighcailin9

Well if you have enough it don't taste fake, I usually lose my sense of taste after lucky number 7

cailin i'd say you might be able to get it in the Abbott's Ale house, just across the river, near the Corner House and comedy club/city limits. Also, The Franciscan well might have it behind the bar, not sure though. Le Cheile used to have it back when they made an effort with beers. They've since torn out their 'nice beer' bar and replaced it with a load of Heinekens and buds etc..

Indeed. I threw up a little upon seeing. Along with Cork, that particular page is on my list of things never to visit again.

DON'T BUY THE LIVE CD!!!!! It's average at best and doesn't have half of their best stuff. Buy 'Origin Of Symmetry'. It's their best album by a mile.


Anyway, my turn for a tune. I'm feeling relaxed this morning so here's something acoustic -

Completely agree although showbiz does give it a run for its money.
After OOS it all gets a bit "Meh!"

Xavi6

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say 'meh' cause the other two albums have some amazing songs on them, just the volume of them isn't as good as the first two albums.

Buy the Hullabaloo DVD and watch 'Dead Star' in all it's glory as an opening track. God I can't wait to see them for the 7th time on the next tour!

EDIT: Here's the 'Dead Star' in question -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIFvPMgvbC0

Eirebear

Ive got the Hullaballoo DVD, tis great.

When i say Meh, it doesnt meant that i dont think theyre still better than 90% of the bands in the mainstream at the moment.

I just think theyve lost the edge they had in their first two albums a little.
Still awesome live though

Xavi6

Ah yeah I'll agree with you there alright. Easily the best live band going.

Speaking of great artists, it's feckin pissing down this morning. Not good for Elton later :mad:

Ive always ben wary of going to see Elton John....what kind of stuff does he do?
I mean going back hes done some absolute classics, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting...Rocketman...etc etc.

But since the early 90's hes just been a bit dire.

Xavi6

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of too. I want all the classics. I actually don't know what sort of set he puts together tbh. He better not disappoint me....

Eirebear

Well we want a full set list when you get back!

Kind of Bizzare point on Elton's tour of stadiums and major venues at the minute....he's playing McDiarmid Park in Perth, Scotland this summer....home of the mighty St. Johnstone!?!?! :eek:

Hardly wembley is it!

Xavi6

Ha no not at all. It does mean he's playing in Perth twice though! One northern hemisphere and one southern!

Eirebear

Good point...maybe thats why hes doing it?

My Brother in laws garden backs onto McDiarmad, so hes planning a barbeque to listen in that night....might go up so i know what kind of set he does for future reference!

Anyway, enjoy the gig...im off to bed.

A buddy of mine went to him here (got a similer amount of ridicule as well), said Elton played all the classics and it was a savage gig. Hope same goes for yours!

Sherifu

Morning fools.

Xavi6

Good evening.

Well the rain has subsided for now but no doubt it will return later. Almost time to catch the train to Elton!

Sherifu

[insert train to gaytown quip here]

Xavi6

Well I'm all set to catch it. Got my skinny jeans and my extra small t-shirt on. Just finishing straightenin the hair :cool:

Sherifu

Xavi6

Well Elton was obviously superb. Played all the classics. Didn't think he was gonna play my favourite song, 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', as he hadn't played it in a while but midway through the set there it was. Superb. Finished off with an encore of 'Don't Let Your The Sun Go Down On Me' and 'Your Song' which was super.

Anyway, on to the real story of the night. Elton had barely been on stage for two songs when a fight broke out in the row behind me! Apparently some loud mouth kept shouting stuff and the guy in front of her turned around and told her to shut the fuck up. She responded by going for him so he threw a punch at her! The people beside stepped in but she kept going and landed a few digs of her own. The lad involved and his party had to be taken to another section. Unbelievable stuff. I've been to see RATM, Muse, etc etc yet it takes until I go see Elton bloody John to see my first proper fight at a gig!

Great night.

Sherifu

Sounds good.

Elton draws the rough crowd.

Peyton Manning

Awful quiet in here tonight. Currently listening to a band that Xavi introduced me to, Long View. Very good I must say. Heading down to the library to do a bit of study in a few minutes. Its 24 hours, and I work best during the wee hours. By the way, all this malarky about the new Nike ad. Pfft, not a patch on this, the greatest football ad ever!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDuhL6GFExM

Xavi6

Good man Archi, keep listening to that Longview. We'll have to swap recommendations again soon.

Sherifu

Watched the x-files 2 trailer on ign.

Good stuff.

Utd win premiership, Westmeath beat Longford, my club side wins the County u-16 championship, a few pints to celebrate all, Carlsberg don't do Sundays but if they did.....

Great country this soon as the premiership ends the GAA season starts as well as the Eircom League.

United won the league, City lost 8-1 and fecked up the fair play league, Chelsea ballsed it up late on along with Inter to ruin my big bet. Carslberg don't do shitty Sundays, but if they did......
