How did Karl Spain ever get on TV? They call this guy a comedian! FFS

Jimmy the Weed

Carl Spain can go **** right off.

Think I know the guys that won this, was the prize to play at a festival of tribute bands in the UK?

Baggio

Didn't make them laugh probably.

Is it just a one off episode?

Saw Metallitia twice. They were brilliant. Never saw Ireland Maiden or the other bands so I'll be watching this.

I was at the semi final in the Stables in Mullingar - it was a great night!

I was at the Limerick gig. Shocked Ireland Maiden won it to be honest. They were very scrappy a lot during the Dolan's gig anyway. Karl Spain looked so out of place... all the time.

Think I saw the one and only Giz in the crowd. Limerick folk will know who I am on about.

From what I saw, I thought they were very good(only on tv). And no Ireland Maiden, ye don't have to play NotB, don't mind anyone who says differently:D

Baggio, nice sporting of the Rush t-shirt:cool:

Nockz

It was a good watch though. You gotta love the markets hahaha.

galwayrush

I enjoyed that, Ireland maiden deserved to go through for Baggio's t-shirt alone.;)

to be honest I thought the programme was awful - not the bands, just badly filmed, edited and generally poor......

surely there's someone else they could have gotten to front the show ?????

The eternal optimist me - always hoping one of there efforts will hit the mark......the good thing is that the bands get some airtime and more exposure........I'm not the biggest fan of tribute bands, but the guys seem to put a lot of work into it......

would be nice to see them doing a show on unsigned bands from different genres and see how that went...

It's on rte player as above if ye missed it

I like Spain as a comedian but he was brutal in this. FFS get someone even remotely interested in the music!

Best of luck to all the bands involved hope the exposure helps

Mental Mickey

I know who wins!!!! The series was recorded a few months ago.

Gerard.C

Cormac Battle should be presenting it, other than that I enjoyed it!

Thought it wasn't bad actually. Yes there is no need for Karl Spain to have anything to do with it, (pronouncing Biff's name wrong said it all), but must admit I cannot think of who could host it.

Have seen Mettalitia before. Tight band but everything is downtuned to suit the singer which doesnt work for me. Though having singers that really arent up to it is a criticism I would level at all of the bands, bar the Zeppelin lads tbh.

Baggio

Thanx for the words lads,,,both good and bad....

for me was a laugh and a bit scarey - had to get 14 songs down in 4 weeks of a band im not a huge fan of, and between working shifts and Never Say Die was a lot of work,,one of our guitarists had even less time!,,,so we got ourselves at least "able to play live" in time for it,,, so in fairness was a triumph to even get that far!,,,,thankfully we're much better now and rocking along, limerick tommorow night, mullingar sat night...bring it all on!

Rush tshirts all round me thinks hahah at least EVERYONE respects them!

ciao' amigos...Baggio.......

slavetothegrind

I'd have hosted it!

No fecker asked though or even gave me the heads up!

I may not be pretty but i do know my music and would have got more out of BIff.:p

So there ya go Baggio, put in a word for me with the auld production team and best of luck to ya!!!

villains77

have seen metalitia a few times good auld band live. never seen ireland maiden. think they should have got somebody a bit more into the rock genre to host it. thing carl is out of his depth in it. baggio when ur next show in dublin ?

villains77

I was at the Limerick gig. Shocked Ireland Maiden won it to be honest. thanks a lot for spoiling it for the rest of us :rolleyes:

smelltheglove

i think he was referring to the fact they beat the acdc lads on the night in limerick....but i know who wins the whole thing lol

Baggio

we were ROBBED!!!!!

hahahahah....ah well life goes on

blastman

Which one are you in the band, Baggio?

feylya

He's Eddie :pac:
