I think people want to see them in general rather than solely the first album being played. Could easily do a nice mix at a festival, they normally do as it is. Can't see them at Oxegen though cos they'd need a high spot.

I went to see them support linkin park because I wanted to see them so bad, I dont think id go see them again if it wasnt just a concert of them. That gig sucked, and cost me 80 quid to boot.They didnt play long,no one in the crowd knew who they were, and they just werent in to it at all. Where as when they played the ambassador in and around the same time it was amazing!

Was at both of those gigs and totally agree. The band came on late supporting Linkin Park due to missing a ferry and played a short and fairly ****e set. Yet the ambassador gig was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Think they're one of those bands that just doesn't come across well outdoors.

Yeah the linkin park gig just wasnt good at all. I seen them outdoors In Germany and it was their best gig. I dont think its anything to do with being outdoors! I just think they do much better when the gig is their own for some reason. Dont think id be in to seeing at a festival at all:(

They were pretty decent at Slane several years back IIRC, though a lot of the crowd seemed to only know the singles and were applauding during the pauses within songs. Not a surprise really, but I wouldn't say in/outdoors is a factor as much as the bands own enthusiasm on any given night.

They were good at Oxegen about 3 years back when they played in one of the tents. Agreed that the Linkin Park gig was woeful, but it was still great to see them. I missed out on the Ambassador gigs.

I vowed a few years back to never go back to Oxegen again, but the line up this year is starting to look pretty decent... Queens won't be playing it though.

I've seen QOTSA at quite a few festivals over the last few years. Just realised that the last time i saw them headlining was the Ambassador gig in 2002. If they can play like that in the Olympia I will be more than happy.

Gunslinger92 · 02-03-2011 1:18am

Was at the Olympia tonight and I was in the pit. I was like "... I have to be here for QOTSA" and I was seriously considering paying nearly 100 quid to a tout, but luckily I've been talked out of it

If I had a job I probably would do it. Least I'm going at all, I will just keep reminding myself of that

I know the feeling

weiland79 · 10-05-2011 12:09am

Not long now!

Gunslinger92 · 10-05-2011 11:53am

:D

Any particular songs you want to hear? (Apart from songs on the first album, obviously)

I'm hoping for Tangled up in Plaid myself...

Mushy · 10-05-2011 12:43pm

Better Living Through Chemistry or River in the Road. Killer Scene....ah feck it they should just do 5 nights playing all albums.

Minstrel27 · 10-05-2011 1:02pm

How magnificent would that be. If Suede can do it lol

acquiescefc · 14-05-2011 5:50pm

is there any support for this?

Electric Red · 15-05-2011 3:58pm

Can't wait for this gig myself, last time I saw them was at Rock am Ring a few years back and I remember being too knackered after the day to fully enjoy the set. Would love to hear some Misfit Love thursday night myself!

Yes, Misfit Love!

I think they've played Make It Wit Chu and Little Sister most nights of this tour.

It's a real outside bet, but I'd love if they played The Fun Machine Took a **** & Died.

I didn't realise that. It'd be unreal live.

I'm not sure, but if he was with an adult he would be fine! But the tickets are sold out...

emo72 · 15-05-2011 11:04pm

i think i blagged onto a guestlist. any concerns about the queen coming on tuesday? heard the place is going to be a mare to get to. be wary of getting to the place!

Minstrel27 · 16-05-2011 9:40am

I am hoping that she will be down in Cork or something by Thursday.

:eek: How did you manage that?!

Junior · 16-05-2011 12:30pm

Lads,

I'm coming up for this from Waterford, and it only bloody hit me today that the traffic restrictions are in place for the Queen, what's the best way to get in and out of this ?

I was thinking Luas in as far as Jervis and walking across ?

Minstrel27 · 16-05-2011 12:32pm

I am getting the train up from Waterford. No ****ing way am I bringing a car near Dublin.

Junior · 16-05-2011 12:38pm

Do you reckon you'll get a train back or are you staying up ?

Minstrel27 · 16-05-2011 12:53pm

I am staying up.

Junior · 16-05-2011 1:01pm

I don't have that option, grr !

NufcNavan · 16-05-2011 2:13pm
