Im not going to type too much and want to make this short and sweet.

I attended the shows in Dublin and London last week....



DUBLIN: Crap venue with crap sound, overcrowded (no room to get my groove on), full of absolute rude people and scum, quite physically rough.



LONDON: Lovely venue(inside), great sound, ace people(nice grrls too), packed (but loadsa space to get my dance on), great tunes afterwards.



I'm from Dublin and its my city make no mistake, but on my visits to the UK for shows etc if find myself wanting to stay!



I could type a biblical epic on this shit but I wont...just wondered if anyone else has any thought.....

think the same myself

dublin was full of arrogrant people while london wasn't

its also true than when yo away from your own city (especially a small one like dublin) that you're more liable to git down wit yo bad self and have more fun, this aside tho' the dublin gig was nowhere near as good as brixton

Go down with your bas side....hmz :p hahahahahaa X-D



I think the Brixton gig was better ;-)

i was getting my full range of groove on....brixton was a lot better

the dj afterwards was great...everyone was vibin'

especially when he played nude night. and the crowd were nice people not like dublin. brixton rocked both nights though saturday was better

just cos i wasnt there mate.....

bah who cares i was off raving at the ICA with all the nobs

not that just the performance was a bit better

bah

Well if you won't write a biblical epic, I will! ;)



Last time I was in Dublin was in 1991, I went with a friend. At that time the economy there was really, really bad and I remember unemployment and stuff being in the news a lot, and a lot of boarded up shops. But it was still a great city, I think. Maybe it's because I was a tourist only there for a short trip, plus my friend and I always wanted to go to Ireland - it was a good opportunity to travel at a very exciting time in my young wide-eyed life! I found the people there wonderful, very friendly, very helpful and very curious as to why 2 young American girls would even want to come to Dublin when the weather was so bad! (and the men were so handsome, and those gorgeous accents... sigh) ;)



Since 1991 (I lived in Cambridge for 3 and a half months that year) I've been to London a few times. I fuckin love London, that pretty much goes without saying. Always something to do, always something to see that I haven't seen before, and I have the most fantastic memories of that city. London has always been and always will be, a special place that's close to my heart. I haven't really travelled a lot around the world... I would love to do that some day, but so far London is one of those places where I feel more at home there than anywhere else I've ever been. It's a colorful city with so much fascinating history, so much culture, and so much life above and underground. I like the city life, but I also like the proximity that London has to the countryside. Every time I visit and the trip is drawing to a close, I find it very hard to get on the airplane to come back to California. I still see that city through pretty much the same rose colored glasses I had on when I was 19... I would love to live there one day, should that opportunity ever arise. I would jump on that chance if it were given to me. But I also want to be realistic - main concern being that London is bloody expensive!

yo thats too manys words yeah? yawn.....

Sorry, I tend to babble a lot. ;)

only joking...yeah my accent is so sexy sometimes i find myself falling for myself.....

X-D You have to understand, that my ears are very acclimated to the flatness of speech that is Californian linguisitcs. The Irish accent in comparison... there is no comparison. It's hard to explain how cool a "foreign" accent sounds to a simple minded Californian. ;)

you you guys accents sound well good to us too. I luvs tha way de burds in london talk too tho' roight

its not really that fair to compare london and dublin. London has a rich musical history, while dublin's is pretty limited. theres no foundation upon which to build a proper musical scene (good clubs, good concert venues) over the past few years with the supposed economic boom dublin has started to develop musically with a lot of good irish musicans and djs moving and playing there, but its still just growing up. while london is a musical world capital. STOP PICKING ON US! :(

I LUUUUV the English accent. My next boyfriend has to be english 8)

stop picking on who??

I'm not talking about history or nuffink....just the people are way way nicer at gigs....and from what i've seen the security are too.

I could go as far as saying that dublin is a shithole and london isnt....



but i wont

You won't hear me picking on the Irish, or Ireland.



I'd love to go back (to Dublin) one day. I imagine it's so much different now than it was in 1991, before the economic boom.

your right about the people, lots of scumbags... rotten apples... after i see nine inch nails at brixton il be able talk more objectivly.
