I had no idea they were playing in Ireland. Not enough notice so that's why I am not going.

Can't argue with that.

Will be there. Didn't buy tickets. I assume they'll be avail at the door. Disagree that they're ****e. Their best days are certainly behind them but they have some excellent pop rock songs in their back catalogue. Have seen em live a few times and they do a good show. Not too interested in support, what time do people reckon they'll be on stage?

RoryMurphyJnr

Renegades is a throw back to the good old days.
Doors open at 7.30 support about 8.15 -8.30 so probably about 9

great show!

Thought it was a bit short though. 80 minutes or so. Should have been longer for the €30 ticket IMO.

But they'll be back in February so Grant said! Happy Days!

RoryMurphyJnr

Brilliant gig, yes bit too short but they'll be back soon.
New tunes are excellent, loving "Renegades"
And of course the place went mad for "Just a Day"

I remember seeing Feeder about 13 years ago (supporting Reef in Red Box - what Tripod used to be called) and they were a proper heavy rock/borderline metal band. I was never as disappointed in a band when I heard that radio friendly nonsense they came out with a few years later. Real shame.

Still, I hope you all enjoyed the gig. €30's really steep for an 80 minute set.

Was pretty good. Crowd were a bit dead. Also not a big fan of the new stuff I gotta say. They lyrics for Call Out are hilariously bad. I had seen a few setlists from this tour with stuff like Sweet 16 etc on it, but no sign last night.

Was there last night, deadly gig! Paying for it this morning in work!!

Used to be into them in those Polythene days too, saw them a few years ago in the Olympia and said thats it, just a pop band.
Gave them another chance last night as it was +18s and smaller venue and it was a lot better.

Still, brought back memories of the night in Manchester yonks ago, stage diving from in between the band and the best kebab ever after.

His comment about the next album of pop songs made me think again tho.

I never like the 'they're turned their backs on their roots' argument. They've shown tremendous versatility over the years and I'm just as happy listening to Swim, YWTS, Echo Park, CIS. They've done the speed rock, pop anthems, heart felt stuff and done it all well which not too many bands even attempt.

Motley Crue

Good band, not to be sniffed

keeponrockin

Saw em on a bill that included Foo Fighters ,Green Day and The Prodigy at Witness and they blew every one of em out the water that day..CLASS Band:cool:

scudzilla

Saw them headline the Friday Night at Donington a few years back, fecked off after 10 mins to watch Billy of the Idol headline the second stage, now THAT was class

jack presley

I would have gone but I was away on holidays so glad to hear they'll be back in February. Was it anywhere near a sell out?

seachto7

saw them on the bill with RHCP at Slane years ago, and they were pretty decent on the day. They were a 4 piece that day, (had the leftie touring guitarist with them)

Yeah I was at that gig and while they're not a band I like they were good for what they were that day - something to get people a bit energised after Halite (? :P) and Morcheeba (who I loved). Did their job well but would never pay money to hear them on their own.

That was 2003 by the way. Does it make you feel old to realise that was 7 years ago!!!

Timmaay

Hmm slane 03 was my first ever proper gig! God 7years ago, yeh feeling old but I've been to some amount of amazing gigs since, including feeder another 4 or 5 time ha!

Raging that I missed them in the Academy, was on holidays so nothing I could do! But cant wait for the February gig!

jack presley

The first time I saw Feeder was at the Witnness Festival even before that Slane gig but unfortunately it was around the time when nu-metal was at its peak and bands thought it was cool to have a DJ play with them as well (Ash were doing the same around that time too - pathetic!)

Great band though - I love 'em.
