Hi, its me, PJ, one time saviour of OT, but no longer.
How are you all today? I was going to watch Interstellar this weekend? Have you seen it? If so it is any good? What should I watch instead?

Alt. Best gig you've ever been to and what made it the best.

I might watch Interstellar this weekend too
So watch it, but if you've time for anything else I recommend Whiplash or Inherent Vice. Oh, or Boxtrolls, of course.

lawson was that good that I was nearly in tears when the lights went up
I was off my cake on bumbles at the time.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:31, Reply)

Alt: prolly Björk in an amphitheatre or the chemical brothers back in ye olden days
or John Bramwell when he got monstrously pissed
or I could pretend it was the Verve homecoming at haigh hall even though I was so cunted I genuinely don't remember it when I watch the videos
Or the first time I saw That Fucking Tank

I really like Bjork, her stuff's always pretty interesting

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:32, Reply)

Vespertine is one of the greatest albums ever, I reckon
And this new one is up there.

There's some excellent dance remix stuff on the singles too

homogenic was superb

tggi.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:04, Reply)

mainly due to Mark Bell's production

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:22, Reply)

Alt: Sisters of Mercy at the Roundhouse a few years back possibly
Or Rammstein in Nottingham, Pet Shop Boys in '91 or any from a few at Sonisphere last year (Babymetal, Alestorm and Airbourne were the standouts)
( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:33, Reply)

Rammstein do put on a hell of a show.

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:35, Reply)

pet shop boys are in my best and worst gig lists
90s - great
2010s - diabolical
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:35, Reply)

Babymetal?!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:57, Reply)

I may have been loust with dark rum and zoider at the time but I remember it being excellent

( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:13, Reply)

Rammstein for the win.

( .Yeti., Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:11, Reply)

not seen it, but heard good things.
Alt: tough question, Show I most enjoyed was probably seeing Clutch at the old Zodiac in Oxford. But special mention for Skunk Anansie, Skin put on a hell of a show when they played download. Also, recent Faith No More in Hyde Park blew my little Rock socks off
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:34, Reply)

I saw skunk anansie supporting verruca salt some time back in the 17th century
She was like a female Keith Prodigy
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:41, Reply)

bit rude

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:45, Reply)

I meant this in a positive sense
Although I'm now not sure how that would work
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:46, Reply)

I quite like that one song verruca salt did, I have the single on orange vinyl somewhere

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:35, Reply)

Something less boring instead.
Alt: There's been a few best gigs I've ever been to, too many to recall them all but they include (off the top of my head): Faust/Black Carrot; Volcano the Bear; Akron Family/Phosphorescent; oh and loads of others.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:35, Reply)

probably live earth
as we got to see so many different people in one day - foo fighters, snow patrol, razorlight, madonna, black eyed peas, duran duran, bloc party, spinal tap, beastie boys and lots of tits make tits of themselves like ricky gervais, james blunt, geri halliwell etc. the champagne may have helped.

worst was easily rihanna (not at live earth). terrible.

New Order at Bestival was a good one because 1) they actually managed to not sound shit and 2) MASSIVE DRUGS.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 14:55, Reply)

shit ... forgot New Order doing a Joy Division set in Manchester
that was a fucking riot
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:00, Reply)

Not bad thanks, although my teeth are a bit sore after a hygienist visit earlier.
Teeth look better though, so was worth it. Not seen Interstellar yet, but it's meant to be excellent.

Alt: Slipknot at Sonisphere - the atmosphere was intense, the set was excellent, and the pouring rain just made it feel that bit more mental.
Metallica at Download, where they performed Master of Puppets in it's entirety. Seeing that with my best friend and a skinful of beer was an absolute treat.
30STM in Nottingham - I was only really there for the support, but 30STM were brilliant. The stage show was fucking impressive, as was the performance. Shame the crowd were shite.
Napalm Death in Leeds was just absolutely insane.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:01, Reply)

and Cocteau Twins at QMU
I totes did a bit of a cry during that one
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:01, Reply)

and Gary Numan doing the whole of Replicas was unexpectedly ace

(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:03, Reply)

I kind of like the play the whole album thing.
Saw Brian Wilson doing Pet Sounds, which totally changed my previous stance of it not being worth seeing those somewhat past their prime.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:09, Reply)

fucking shit-a-doodle
I forgot David Byrne at the royal festival hall ... that shit was amazeballs and then Brian fucking Eno just wandered on stage and joined in
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:12, Reply)

in fact this game is rubbish cos I also forgot Jimmy Cliff at Glastonbury

(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:14, Reply)

Yeah, there isn't really a 'best gig you ever saw', if you're doing it right.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:15, Reply)

especially when you've been to thousands and have senile dementia
I can barely even remember what I ... wait ... what was the question? Why did I open this cupboard? Have I had my tea?
(old man river possible lesbian, Fri 30 Jan 2015, 15:17, Reply)

Brian Eno is responsible for the worst gig I've ever seen.

Rammstein at download 2013
pendulum at download (2011 I think)
the streets at wireless
chemical brothers at wireless
Soundgarden at hard rock
lots more but I'll become tedious if I list them.

I really wish I could remember all the stand out acts, but the shit tends to linger longer.
