Who's the best live act?
I'm on YouTube. I'm that bored of you all.

I was thinking best live act on YouTube.

Jurassic 5.
Or Slayer.

Skindred are very good live.
I went to their homecoming gig in Newport last Christmas.
(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:29, archived)
I like Whole Wheat Bread.
They're an excellent band.
(I helped save b3ta! WHARRGARBL, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:29, archived)
Skindred are surprisingly good live, actually.
I was surprised anyway.

It was only a small venue, so there was a really good atmosphere.

(I helped save b3ta! JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:33, archived)
Small venue always helps.
I saw them at Jilly's in Manchester, some kind of day long festival.

Video performances can't live up to the feeling of being at a live gig surrounded by like minded people
particularly in a pit at a festival

You're getting closer and closer.
I can only assume the next insult will be about the "Castle" not the "New" bit.
You should also light sparklers and stick them down your boxers so I can really notice you in the crowd.

I'm being very liberal with the term "castle", I'm sure you'll agree.
A castle is seen as a fortress.

(I helped save b3ta! Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:09, archived)
We were surrounded by some right cocks on Friday.
Cocks and twats should be banned from gigs. In fact, I should personally vet all potential crowd members before they're even allowed to buy a ticket.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:10, archived)
I'm with you there.
When we saw Elbow in Blackpool, the crowd was full of Manc cunts just shouting 'MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCHIIIISSSTAAAAAH'. Gorgeous Mr G told them to stop it because they could be seen as threatening to other audience members.
(I helped save b3ta! Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Mon 6 Jul 2009, 19:14, archived)
were they of the
"oh, look, plastic bottles, clearly projectiles" type of twats?

The level of that going on on Friday astonished me, and I've been to some fairly shockingly rough gigs.

We had some of that on Saturday watching Idlewild.
Though the lead singer of The Twang got a trainer in the face. That made me smile, the Brummie wanker.

Sweet.
The problem at Blur was that ALL the booze was sold in placcy bottles, so at times it was like trying to watch through a swarm of large green locusts, to be honest.

I got hit by a thrown full glass bottle of Smirnoff at a Stereophonics gig in Swansea a while back. The Welsh know how to do violence properly. There's lovely.

It was the last gig at Morfa stadium before they tore it down
good gig, but a bit nationalistic*

Fucking massive fights, couldn't open my mouth for fear of being killed for being English and they played a montage of famous Welsh rugby victories at the start**

And I camped in a random field near Porthcawl so I could surf the next day and two pissed up valley boys in a nicked transit came within about 3 feet of killing me and the relevant missus at the time by rallying round the field at 4 in the morning. "we couldn't see the tent, boyo, it was green"

We had three brands of cock.
One fat cock who practically sat on my mate when the gig was still half empty and then got shirty when she suggested he might want to sit just a couple of inches further away. Another cock who watched the entire gig through the crappy little lcd of his fucking point'n'click camera and eventually had to be given a gentle talking to. And a small group who never tired of throwing plastic bottles. I thought they were the least cock-ish of the lot but they were clearly ruining the evening for a few delicate yoofs next to them. It was quite a good gig though.

I would like to add "pricks with flags at festivals" to this list.
If you are so fucking terrified of losing your mates in a crowd then you should probably stay at home. Or be attached to your mummy by a leash.

You're a musical cockwit. You dismissed one of the broadest musical festivals on the planet. You sneer mindlessly at anything. You're a complete fucking dullard when it comes to any discussion of music. You clearly hate it so why don't you keep your tedious miserable mouth shut and let people who enjoy it talk?
