Anybody going to Down?

Acacia

Now that we can talk about it- anybody heading to Down on 16th/17th June? I'm going, can't wait!

But I've not seen them before- are they any good live?

Only found out about this yesterday,think i'll head in,should be a good show. I assume the 16th is sold out?!

calex71

was delighted to hear static x where supporting, quite like their new album.

If the weather is like it is now and the place is heaving on the night as i think it will be, it'll be one hell of a sweat box :pac:

Really? Why's that?

I was at the gig in the Ambassador too and thought they were brilliant. Won't be going to the gig here as I'm going to see them at download, they're definitely worth seeing a second time!

D.Q

Think Il be going to this, HAVE to see Phil Anselmo in the flesh while possible,

dont they usually play a movie instead of support acts?

galwayrush

Feck, too busy workwise to go, brother's going .

feylya

Is it the 16th and 17th? I might if I'm not too bolloxed after Download

fobster

It's both the 16th and 17th, think the 16th is sold out.

seachto7

saw em a few years ago. were good only phil was pi55ed drunk (I think!) and rambled a lot between songs.

Anyone know of the supposed live dvd to come out?

I'd love to see CoC live though...

I loved their second album, but the newest one doesn't do much for me (much as I tried to get into it) so there's no point in going to see this tour again.

I'm going to both nights, first one with the woman and the other with my brother who is just finished his exams the day before the gig. Haven't missed them in Dublin yet and am looking forward to seeing them again! Class band live.

Ah right, I thought that they might not have been good the last time you saw and that's why you don't want to go again.

We should work out some sort of system for recognizing other boardsies at the the gig!

Ambassador was amazing. Great crowd interaction and crowd surfing was pretty much encouraged. Phil was up on the speakers and stuff. They are really experienced and know how to put on an amazing show. They had great lights for Jail and it made a very ambient atmosphere. Word of advice, if you go up the front be prepared to get crushed by crazy sweaty men. Ouch.

Tell me about it, I could have died happily last year after he came up on the speaker to slap hands with the crowd. I'm gonna wait outside like a stalker and meet him.

Yea, they played a movie last year.

Hmmm...is it worth being crushed by sweaty men to be two feet away from Phil Anselmo....?



Yes! :pac:

Would give non-boardsies a good giggle too:D

Acacia

Hehe, I'd actually be up for that, or some sort of subtle clue!

the_syco
