that's disgusting   I don't go to festival type gigs anymore...they're always so difficult to get to and sooooooo difficult to get home from.  The only person I'd go to Slane for now would be Robbie, so fingers crossed he doesn't feel the urge to do Slane again.

 

I remember I went to see REM at Slane and people started lighting the paper cups and throwing them in the air....in fairness in the dusky light it did look very pretty...but surely when they landed they bloomin hurt?

I was at the kings of Leon last week and it was an effing ZOO! There's been hell on about it in the local news since. P*ss flying around, people snorting drugs off keys, fights, someone took a dump on the floor.. rubbish everywhere too! I has to wash my hair at 1am after we got home, and I stunk of fags too. All in all, it wasn't a pleasant experience and I'll be sticking to indoor venues in future. I bet the same things happen at Glastonbury animals!

Yes I think that's the same concert my daughters friend was at. 

Sounds appalling. 

Was it Sunderland sooz?

The general vibe was, if you get splashed with something cold it's beer or coke.. If it's warm..

I've suffered at a Oasis gig of a piss throwing idiot, This was by someone who had queued overnight  to get a place at the front of the stage, only to then keep pissing in a glass to throwing behind him, He got booted out before the show started.  It is now quite common for this act to happen at outdoor gigs and festivals, Wembley who don't allow you to take bottle water in in case you throw it, rub their hands at the act of a near £4 a pint of beer being thrown up in the air.

That sounds revolting, Summer. What a shame that some disgusting idiots spoil things for everyone else.

hahaha!

I went to Reading festival in the late 80's and they were throwing cartons and bottles of piss at Bonnie Tyler. At that time I had never heard anybody swear like she did. Then Meatloaf came on to the stage to defend her by threatening people with a baseball bat. A couple of hours later I got crushed in a crowd surge and had to be thrown unconscious over the security barrier. I never went to another festival.

Temps did you not get to Croke Park at the weekend for the TT concert?  My sister went and was chuffed to bits when she got a handshake off Robbie Williams. 

What sort of person shits on the floor?

I first heard about piss-bombs in the late 80's/early 90's from  friends who attended the Donington Monsters of Rock event. Bags full of urine would be launched into the air above the massed crowd with the aim of striking an individual and spraying all those around them  - nice!

  I sure was there Ella...I didn't get to touch him unfortunately   How did your sis get to shake his hand?  On the flying platform thing or at the end? Lucky so and so

 

Usually it's beer dregs that sail over my head at gigs......why people throw stuff I don't know. I remember seeing Placebo at V fest years ago, and Brian the lead singer having a massive swear at the people throwing stuff. There's just no need for it, people should be there for the sheer love of music, not for the purpose of annoying other fans.

 

The punk gigs I've been to are among the most well-mannered in terms of the crowd. It's usually pop and mainstream rock that you get the morons.

yeah its like that at take that concerts we're all wild

At the end I think...was only chatting to her for a few mins in which she was trying to tell me everything  and all I could think was yes, yes watever come get your kid   so I was only half listening.  She wasn't even a fan of TT (her OH is) but came back a big fan.

I think it was Manchester (possibly Leeds - but I'm more inclined to think Manchester - a cricket ground I think)

I've heard all about you lot

Kudos to them for giving it a go I guess.
