And I've gotta wonder if I'm the only one on this list who actually saw them support the Bunnymen two years ago in Wolverhampton. The hall was two-thirds empty during their set, and when they finished I went out to the bar (which ran the entire length of the hall) and it was absolutley fucking packed. Y'all missed a superb set, is all I can say....

You know, the sort that will piss on the ground....oops.... ;-) I mean, the sort that would talk loudly at a grand symphony or orchestra performance. Face it: there IS a minimum of etiquette necessary to keep people from killing each other. Unfortunately people who think they are cool also think they are above etiquette. If they *really are cool* then their lives will be spared, but if not, sooner or later someone will at a minimum slash their ty/ires. * the "I dragged my bird/mate to this show even though they didn't want to go and now they're bored or asking lengthy questions but I can't be arsed to repair to the bar because I'm a big fan and I really want to watch the show" effect ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 13:26:43 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas NME article on REM's eclectic set list > And I've gotta wonder if I'm the only one on this list who > actually saw them support the Bunnymen two years ago in > Wolverhampton.

Looks like at least the folks there who weren't into Snow Patrol didn't ruin it for you; they did the right thing by hitting the bar. As you said, it's their loss. - --Amy, at work, and stifling the impulse to yell "arrrrrrrggggghhhh"! at all the gigs I'm going to miss simply by living in America and not being able to jet over for every one of them.

LOL! Now, there is a message board there where you can say "take him, PLEASE" (someone already has) or any other sentiment you care to express. At my house he'd already have three votes over the competition, with two of them based partially on better looks ;-) And you thought the American 2000 presidential election was bad enough.... we now want to steal someone else's leader! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 15:02:31 -0400 From: Red Subject: RE: seven-seas OT - Shack-NEW WEBSITE At 01:23 PM 7/29/03 -0500, you wrote: >* the "I dragged my bird/mate to this show even though they didn't >want to go and now they're bored or asking lengthy questions but I >can't be arsed to repair to the bar because I'm a big fan and I >really want to watch the show" effect nah...I don't believe that one..... coz my own friend was being an asshole at the Nick Cave gig in NYC...he was drunk and really loud....and i MOVED totally away from him....and stayed there till the show was over too!
