Part 23943 of why we can’t have nice things in this country.
I enjoy a pint or two before a concert. Can’t be arsed going out during for drink. But now thanks to scuttering eejits, the choice is taken away.
Time for bars to stop serving drunk people.
Can we just close the bars before and until end of gig?
Gigs have become noticably more difficult to enjoy now with people who attend just to down booze and whatever else they are on.
Talking the whole way through
Can we do this for every gig there
Jesus Christ, why are we so embarrassing like this?
You wouldn’t expect a rowdy crowd for David Grey in a million years. It would be like having a mosh pit at a Coldplay gig.
In fairness, I would drink a copious amount of alcohol too if I found myself at a David Grey concert.
People not understanding how to drink socially is a real problem. However, in this particular case; David Gray’s songs are some of the problem. David Gray songs are background music.
Sorry why is the bar being close? Because people were too loud? Was there anything relating to safety?
Christy Moore has had this rule at his gigs for years.
Makes it a much better experience. You don’t have people going in and out the whole way through the concert.
Sean Paul was absolute scenes as well, my wife got tickets and went with friends, everyone there was a hammered teenager. Hang around outside the 3Arena before any gig, you will see it’s an absolute pint race in all the bars, with people filling up on booze and then it hits them once they are inside.
Here’s an idea that could whittle out troublemakers, have a breathalyser with your ticket check. Over a certain BAC, no entry. Why would you want drunk people who are a liability on your premises?
Or, here’s another idea, everyone try have a bit of cop on and instead of drinking to oblivion, get some therapy and stay off the booze.
I was surprised he was playing there again so soon, must have been a demand thing and venue availability?
No loss closing the bars, thats only half of it. You need to piss too and the queues for the jacks and the lack of management of them diabolical.
What kind of mouthbreather pig do you need to be to get the demented at a gig?
There was a guy ahead of me in the queue for the bar last time and all he did was Babylon and on and on.
I’ll get my coat
My last “big” concert was massive attack and Radiohead at the rds arena in 199?.
Took the girl I was seeing at the time and she was frightened by the crowd of drunk, pushing and shoving teenagers. Crowd control was non existent so we retreated to the stands.
Much prefer the experience in smaller venues like vicar street and whelans anyway.
No doubt it’s the same arseholes going to see David Gray now, 30 years older, but no more sensible, just wonky knees.
This is what happens when dinner party music plays a live gig.
Every singer songwriter has always had to compete with the crowd.
Only way to beat it is:
1) write banger tunes every sings along to
2) have really catchy choruses everyone sings along to
3) have loads of ew-we-ew-we-ew, ew-we-ew-we-ew, ew-we-ew-we-ew bits people sing along to.
If you’re not engaging the audience, just go on Jools Holland or something.
I’m going Friday, from what I heard the first gig was very messy with people up and down to the bar and loudly talking throughout due to being pissed. Delighted the bar will be closed during it.
Need to close the toilet cubicle s also
Sorry but WHO can afford to get shitfaced at the 3ARENA?!??!!??!
They’ll need to close the jacks as well so. White ladder? More like white powder…amiright?!
Will just lead to people doing harder drugs at the gig, many will be injecting smack or doing some Angel Dust.
I’m was at a Mark Lanegan gig in Dublin years ago and I got ‘sushed’ for talking. That was a first. Lanegan was great obv.
Good! The crowd were fucking embarrassing. My heart broke for him when he had to ask them to sit down for 2 minutes so he could tell the story of his father passing.
This weekend? He’s back already? Last time I saw him you’d need pints to suffer through that pit of misery
> And yet it was the more low-level antics that irritated Mr Byrne more. “It was an endless procession of people going to and from the bars,” he said.
“Man gets annoyed by crowds”
