Hell No!!!!!!

 

More like go to the bar whilst Ash are on then come back to see Justin make his overblown and grandiose entrance on a white tiger - LOVE IT!!!!!!

hehe it was a good gig was it not.

 

I thought the support band were pretty terrible, if they didn't have those singers then the musicians would be decent

 

Ash played a good gig, I never really knew most of their stuff but I'd like to get some.

 

The Darkness.... come on you know they were brill.

 

Loved it when he went around on the tiger...

Totally agree with Ian. I was front standing 3rd row, dead centre! Fantastic!!

 

I quite liked his little dig at Band Aid Great to hear Dont Let The Bells end as encore.

 

All in all 10/10.

 

Ash were excellent too - the flaming guitar

 

 

Do Me Bad Things - Lets pretend that never happened shall we!

[Rubysoho]

Couldn't fault it - had everything a rock gig should have and more - flames, pyro-a-plenty, silver holographic catsuits and a giant inflatable priest and snarling dogs!!!

 

Even a Jim Diamond/Stevie Wonder mass sing-a-long!!!

 

Top night, Top Band - Excellent!!!!

I wasn't standing- I had rubbish seats but it was still a good night

 

We stood up when the Darkness came on.

They really are great live aren't they? Told ya! Bit disappointed there were no mosh pit at the front but the band were great. I didn't see the support bands, I was at the bar getting bladdered i'm afraid!

 

Went to Noose & Gibbet afterwards, top night all in all!

Ash - Fantastic live band. Seasoned veterans at the age of 27! Played a great gig at Leadmill last year.

 

Darkness - SOOOOOO much potential, flushed down toilet by a mixture of arrogance and lack of actual product. Their headline set at Reading Fest was woeful. Even played a song that 'they hadn't written words to yet' - ok, if it had a great riff or you could tell it was anything special then, thats fine. But it was s**t. They are original and they have a great front man in JH, but they are just missing something for me. Sorry. Maybe their arena tour is different and they are a little more prepared now.

Their new stuff wasn't very good.

 

Stick with the oldies and enjoy it while it lasts

Hi everyone!

 

I was at the darkness gig, front standing, very close to the stage, and I found the audience a bit "quiet".

It's the first concert I see in the uk... is it always like that? I mean, was that specific to this concert or is it the english way of attending a concert? people were not even jumping.. ????

 

 

but apart from that I love their music and style, the show was great and I didn't know Justin was such a phenomenon!

Heya Vero,

 

It's cause it's an arena gig. Arena's have a feel of emptyness for me and not as good an atmosphere as say, the leadmill if you've been there.

 

Don't give up on UK concerts!
