Coors light peak

stick-dan

ah i enjoyed it anyway.

dazftw

Yeah it good alright.. I think most of the people went for the free drink and not the bands! There was no free drink though :rolleyes:

I wasn't drinking so I decided to bring along the camera to try and shoot the gig..

Ive never shot a gig before so they might not be the best

AdMMM

Great photos Daz.

Really enjoyed it, Fight like Apes were amazing! The great turn-out did us proud! Sure I told everyone there'd be no free booze. lol

fight like apes were good but the event was just a reason for coors to sell a load of beer

Asmodean

Same reason as every other event that's ever held in the country so

sorrywhat

The drumming band with the DJ were really cool I thought.

enjoyed the music, didn't drink any Coors cos it's not my kind of beer but thought that the Fight Like Apes between song banter was tiresome and cringe worthy at times. They'd have been better served banging out a bunch of songs without stopping just to get the atmosphere pumping before stopping to do the whole 'good evening Waterford' waffle. Excellent sound when they were playing, just not enough music and when the banter lasts as long as the songs then something has to suffer.

We arrived at about half 8 and found a load of people leaving. Not many interested in the guy on the drums and the small stage to the side was probably only noticed by people in that area. Was bored ****eless till Fight Like Apes came on but even they had only a small crowd of dedicated fans cheering them on (the crowd was much smaller at this stage). I thought they were fairly good but agree with more music, less ****e talk considering they only had a short time frame. Even they agreed the crowd was poor. A good spot for future events tho.

Great turn-out, great music, great location, great setup, great price.

Terrible headliners, terrible beer, and terrible time.

Great turn out and music? What event did you go to People just kept on leaving and it seemed that the headline acts followers were the only crowd left!

KingLoser

I went to the event with Messiah J and the Expert, and R.S.A.G. that was packed out.

People left because $hite like Apes started playing.

Asmodean

Yeah was only us FLA fans left at the end. Pity a lot of people didn't like them/handn't heard of them. Can only speak for me and my friends but we had a cracking time. Loved it.

KingLoser

That's cool dude! I just didn't think they fitted in very well with the hip-hop, and breaks they had for the two previous acts. But like, all in all, I won't complain, it was free and it was hella fun!



What event did you go to Sully? This was during the first band. :P

Hardly! Coors would have done their testicles running these events. In years gone by they would have been offering free beer but in the current environment it makes sense for them to look for ways to try and recoup some of their costs!

People seemed to be leaving before that, but in larger numbers when they came on. I liked them anyway.

There is a Coors rep on the Gigs & Events forum. Basically said it would have cost to much to give out free drinks for the amount of events and large numbers.

100 people left when that rsag drummer guy came on. bbut there was no count of how many came back in
i thought fight like apes were very good.
It was still a success as only 1500 were expected but it was closer to 2000 that came. even if every person only bought one pint (€5) they made €10,000 alone!
I thought was a great night overall
