Wall of Mouths

Anyone?

I’d go, but you know why I’m not going. I cannae wait tae be back in bonnie Scotland though.

I think the user registered as robert is going to the Edinburgh gig, and possibly the Glasgow one.

Remember to post your gig reviews in this thread :)

Therapy? and The Wildhearts on the same bill, it feels like my birthday. Can’t wait for the Glasgow and Edinburgh gigs so I can blow all my student loan in 2 nights!

Don’t forget to post your review! My ex-flatmate is going to the Edinburgh gig, but I guess that doesn’t matter much to your Buckie-drinking self. ¨

Do you think Therapy? Will be going to Nice and Sleazy’s afterwards? It’s just across the road. Also, do you think they’ll play “Nice’n’Sleazy”, the b-side to the “Trigger Inside?” single in tribute?

I thought it was a requirement among the Glasgow brethen to partake in consumption of Buckfast.

Truly, one cannot walk through Paisley, Hillhead or past the Cannongate without witnessing at least one of Glasgow’s shellsuited supping said “wine”.

Buckfast is as much a part of Glasgow as heroin, Old Firm incidents, missing hubcaps or urine on street corners.

You are a weegie,
a f*cking weegie,
You’re only happy on giro day,
Your mum’s a stealer,
Your dad’s a dealer,
please don’t take my hubcaps away…

Just kidding, you know I love Glesgie. Can’t wait to go back. I don’t know if I’m moving there or London after my army service is over, but I’m definitely going back. I really wish I could be at this gig, because Glasgow rock/metal crowds are the best in the world.

Btw, do you have a really broad accent? I have a friend from Ayr, and I could not understand anything he said for the 1st 3 weeks of knowing him. Just as well we were down the pub for most of it:)

Right. Tomorrow noght. The Garage. Be there.

Title: Doors opening at 6:30 in Glasgow? (merged)

What the hell happened there?

Following the bands advice to avoid spending too long in the pub we decided to walk over at 7:30 (the time we had been told the doors were opening). Following much searching of each person we eventually got to the hall at 8:01 to find Therapy? 10 minutes from the end of their set.

Then, to add insult to injury, i spot the Scopophobia DVD for £15 with a free T-shirt. Its a great dvd but if i had taken along the copy that i preordered and paid £17.99 for then would i have got a t-shirt?

The end of the set was fantastic and it was good to see the 3 of them enjoy themselves so much and relaxing so comfortably into being a 3 piece again. Just wish i had seen more than 2 whole songs.

Did they play anyting new???

Yeah, they played a new song - an instrumental, and quite a short number. My mate said it sounded like Rush!!!

The full set (not in order):

Nowhere
Teethgrinder
Die Laughing
Potato Junkie
Knives
Rust
* New Song *
If It Kills Me
Stop It You’re Killing Me
Dancing With Manson
Screamager
Isolation

The early start seemed to catch a lot of people on the hop, but by the end of T?’s set the place was pretty full. The boys were on great form - they were enjoying it as much as the crowd were.

I thought they had blown the Wildhearts away, but I have to admit the headliners were superb as well.

See y’all in Embra tonight.

Paisley is Paisley I know, I just couldn’t think of any more names of places in Glasgow.

Wrt to the Cannongate comment, I meant that area past the Barrowlands when you’re walking from the city centre… past the Trongate. I accidentally got lost walking past the Barrowlands once and I was in complete ned-dom. What’s the area called? I thought it was… C*something*gate.

You’re probably right. The Gallowgate sees familiar.

I still can’t figure out why they’d play the Garage when both bands could easily fill it on their own. The Wildhearts played the Barrowlands last year supported by Amen (or was it the other way around? I didn’t go, but I organised an interview with the Wildhearts for a friend of ine), and Therapy? definitely has a bigger fanbase than Amen.

My ex-flatmate went to the Edinburgh gig last night and said it was like Metallica supporting a Croatian Status Quo covers band :)

Title: Glasgow gig.

First we completely missed Glitterati because of the early start and got in for Teethgrinder. The crowd was really not into it and getting some movement going was near impossible. I also thought they sounded a little empty with only one guitar. Neil’s drumming was superb though, like Fyfe only with more bass.

The new songs sounded ok and were quite rocky so that was good.

I also thought the Wildhearts were shite. We were bored senseless after 3 songs and spent the rest of the evening at the bar chatting.

Overall I was not very impressed and I don’t think I’ll travel this far for a T? gig again. Especially if playing as the support band. :(

Embra set-list (not in order):

Screamager
Teefgrinda
Nobody Here But Us
Turn
Rust
If It Kills Me
Potato Junkie
Stop It You’re Killing Me
Save The Sermon
Isolation
Nowhere

Slightly shorter set than Glasgow, but they rocked like bastards anyway. Definitely blew the Wildhearts away.

Title: Edinburgh

got to the gig at about 7.45 but they took a while letting us in - when we did get in therapy? were nearly finished their set and only saw 4 songs. I spoke to someone at my work who was at the gig and they said doors opened early again and the 1st band had finished by 7pm so I assume therapy? were on at about 7.30. I don’t think venues should be able to change the times particularly for these gigs as a lot of people would have been there for therapy?

as for the songs I did see, I thought therapy? were excellent and they really seemed to be enjoying it. I thought it worked well as a 3 piece and its the first time I have noticed what a good drummer neil is. I’d never seen the wildhearts before and I never will again - they were absolute shite - I thought they were so bad I left after 4 songs.

Yar, last night was good too, but the venue was clastrophobic! Liked being right up to the stage though, therapy? blew the wildhearts off the stage again, love the sound of the new shit I heard in both glasgow and edinburgh.

i wish therapy? were headliners though, I like the wildhearts but they are cocky bastards and therapy/ are clearly the better band :D
