you should be fine with any of the translations in the bars they all understand english, are you of Latvian blood? it would make sense, they are all very nice when you talk to them!

back on the subject of gigs attended, I got back to my local on Sunday fresh of the plane and they had a Punk night, the skeptics, neon maniacs and 3cr. what a welcome home...8 pints of guiness later I had to go home and get ready for work!


But if we get lost or anything, we could ask a local. Would be better to ask in their native, I think. And..My grandfather was Latvian.

8 pints of guinness..sounds like a good night to me

Anyway..I was meant to be going to see babyshambles earlier this month, but the gig got cancelled...peed me off a little!

Too numerous to mention...James Brown, Four Tops, Clash, Blondie, The Farm, The Drifters, Slade, Temptations etc etc....most of these were in the 70's when they were in their prime.


I would love to have seen the drifters, blondie & clash..ugh.

Damn me for being 18. Sad


Saw Blondie in 1978..for some reason everyone started chucking full beer cans at them, Debbie Harry ran off crying. They came back on again when it quietened down, then everyone started chucking them again...don't know why they were pretty good

But you've seen Simple Minds which I haven't, and they are my favorite group [even though they are Jocks Wink ]. I had a chance of seeing them at Milton Keynes Bowl about 22 years ago, Something I've always regretted not doing.

Simple Minds were brilliant!

Think it was a case of one person throwing a can then others following, there were loads of cans just bouncing and foaming up on the stage. No security there, so no one to stop it.
Was shame though.

That would be annoying.

Why waste beer? I would have just drank them, instead!

I've seen: Metallica (3 times), Linkin Park, The Darkness, Velvet Revolver, Mendeed, Hells bells, Gunz n Rosez, Dragonforce, Alice in chains, The Datsuns, Avenged Sevenfold, Opeth, Slipknot, Lost Phophets and Australian Pink Floyd.

Metallica and Dragonforce were the best of the lot IMO. Cool

And I'm going to see Motorhead and Therapy? in Dublin tomorrow night.
