And same to you!

Started work down in Dublin recently and I wasn't planning on going to it, but I don't have internet in my apartment until Friday so I went onto Toutless this morning and sorted myself out with a ticket, looking forward to it now!

Zwillinge

No internet, next best thing is to gig it up a notch

Did you have fun??
I was on the upper level, figured it may get a little bit rough in the pit, it certainly looked it! They sure put on a funtastic show :D Had a great time!

PS: How are you finding Dublin living?

Nailz

My thinking exactly!

Had great fun alright, went into the pit for only a couple of songs because I would've been hurting this morning had I have been in any longer Would've liked to hear Life To Lifeless, but t'was great anyway, Adam is hilarious!

Great to hear you got on well, how was the view from up top? Was up there for Slayer last year and it was class just looking down at the pit.

Dublin's grand, live a good bit out of the way from the city so that suits me, need to meet a few people to go to the pub and listen to Metal with

Zwillinge

My main reason too, maybe if it was Thursday, I'd have been more floor involved. But since another two working days/early starts and two more gigs for the week - safer upstairs

It looked hardcore down there, plenty of flying shoes, crowd surfing, waves of head banging and "oval" pits

Same as myself, taking the commute each morning
Once you go into a metal bar or themed night, you see the same folk each week, so gradually get to know them I think fair few heads from here (myself included) do be out and about

any craic with you Mr. Crumb?

Aye, having a very interesting couple of days. Hooked up with a new lady over the weekend, spending a lot of time with her

Have the feelers out for a new bass player too, hopefully we can get something sorted and not lose too much momentum, although the current guy's not about to leave us stuck if any unexpected gigs pop up.

Deadly, best of luck!

Hehe, the "oval" pit started off lovely and fluid, look cool!

Sound, sure I'll try to get more acquainted with the R&M puts about the place, I'm quite the fan of downstairs Bruxelles but not too familiar with anywhere else, any suggestions?

Mates from back home keep linking me to events in Club Hell but never bother paying attention to it.
I might see some of you about then if that's the case!

Angron

I found Club Hell quite enjoyable, but I've only been there once. There's not really much in the way or R&M stuff in Galway, and then there's nothing in Longford.

Links234

There used to be Sally Longs in Galway for a good metal night, but it's been overtaken by scobies now, awful spot that used to be great fun still can be awesome when they're bothered to put on a gig again, you see the place packed with all the rockers and it's absolutely buzzing, but those nights are once in a blue moon.

Angron

I like Sally's cause of the music on the jukebox really, but it's been a few months since I've been in. Really I don't bother much with going out any more, it just doesn't really interest me.

Links234

They really should have a good rock night in town again, but feck if it if I can't pull myself away from the craft beer pubs

in other news, I've just realized that I have given up fizzy drinks well over a month now! Yay

salacious crumb

^^ Why not put on a metal night in one of the craft beer pubs?

Links234

Cos my usual doesn't have any music nights?

Best of luck on the bass player hunt. My experience with them is they know they're rarer than lead guitarists, so are tough to nail down!

I've been down there a few times in the last two years - can be nice and easy going

Gypsy Rose is along the quays, that would be my haunt.
Fibbers Parnell St is still a thing, but think for younger folk these days.
Club Hell is under Tara St Station - the layout of it kinda annoys me
Poison is on Thursdays in Sin nightclub in Temple Bar now. €50 gets you in and unlimited drink - sounds messy

You'd more than likely see me knocking about :P

Ah. What about the place that you were talking about having the board beers in? Could you book a room there on a once off and see how it goes?

Cheers and cheers

I probably would know you to see. In the Gypo a fair bit, Fibbers a lot more lately, still though Foggy and Brux would be my "locals", Club Hell ocassionally and Poison once in a blue moon. Probably only ever been 4/5 times over the years. Haven't been to the new place yet, but me and Jay stumbled upon a great idea for a theme night the other day, which will hopefully be happening early March. So I'll be at that :pac:

I *always* thought Fibbers was for younger folk! I remember being there at around 22-23 and feeling old compared to some of the nippers that were there that night...

I started drinking there when it opened, and I still darken the doorway every now and then :pac:

Beer garden's great for having a smoke in peace.

Passenger

Fibbers seems to have lost the younger crowd to some of the newer venues in recent years. Brux is really the only pub to hear Metal at the weekend. Gypsy Rose if you want more mainstream stuff. Club Hell is not a Rock bar. It's geared more toward regular Joe's and Rockers are few and far between in there nowadays.

Aye, went there when it opened first and there was a more rock crowd, but it's always full of randomers and occassionally skangers looking for cheap booze. I've often had idiots comment on my beard or hair etc., which I find bizarre at a so called Rock/Metal night.

Still though, I have a good laugh there every now and then, but mostly we hang out upstairs behind the curtain if we're there :pac:

Tar.Aldarion

Sally's is crop now? Aww.

Killswitch engage gig was great, I don't really know them but was a very good experience and randomly got to go for free yesterday thanks to a boards friend , battlecross were very good, first band certainly had a lot of energy, jumping from the second floor to the stage ouch

Some say they sewed the seeds for that when they got rid of the rock night on Fridays

Angron

I still like Sally's, but again I just don't normally care enough to go out.

I could, but it'd be a small enough room, so meh

Only been to Foggy a few times in my lifespan. And Poison is whenever I've a Friday off work :P

I used to be a nipper In the last few years I've been there I've felt ancient.

I thought they were great alright - met Battlecross upstairs, the lead lad was telling me about his three year old constantly waking him up after he's done a show :pac:

Passenger

Anybody watching the show Lilyhammer?

For the first band we were watching them whilst standing beside battlecross, I had no idea, they just wandered on stage randomly from beside us.
