Just saw them tonight in the O2.

Great show can't wait to see them again.

If I had the cash I'd go to London to see them again...
 
Music is very subjective.

One man's best band in the world is another man's annoying shower.

Although I do like Muse, I seen ACDC at the O2 and I'd say that was probably the greatest band in the world in action.

btw, I tried to get tickets for Muse, and was disappointed not to.

Correct.

Would have loved to have seen them.

Although I'm a big music head I don't really like gigs that much - there are only about 5 acts I would still see and Muse are one of them.

*Shakes head*

*Disappointed sigh*

Yet another reason why Cork is so behind the times.

It seems the musical education of the Corkonians needs upgrading...
 
Well in fairness they are not exactly household names. Not too much in the way of big 'hits' really. Probably accurate to say they are the world's biggest 'cult band'. Kind of.

I know anyone can check them out if they want but here is a short cut

 
Good one Lex - you must have seen the Beslon & Burning Embers at some time so!
 
nah .........I'm not aMUSEd ....... had to do that SLF now before someone else did

Anyway Lex, was Rory Gallagher not from Donegal?!

Cav., stop trying to spoil it all! Yes, it's true that Wee Rory began life in Donegal but, like most people, he realised that, in order to succeed in life, being from Cork opens many doors.

On a serious note, I was in St. Oliver's Cemetry a few months ago at a relative's burial and I visited Rory Gallagher's grave. We still miss him a lot. He'll probably never get the credit for being the wonderful musician he was. That's especially true when you see the exposure some partially talented clowns get on tv shows these days.

The headstone on his grave is a replica of an award he received in 1972 for International Guitarist of The Year.

Are you suggesting Bertie could do something right?

Bertie's father was from Minane Bridge, a few miles south of Cork city, and his mother was from Castledonovan, just north of Drimoleague so, if the truth were known, sure he's one of our own!!!

Unless, of course, you'd draw up tribunals or a few bob placed on a horse................ That'd make him a Dub.
