Wall of Mouths

All the festivals seem to be doing this. First I heard of it was when I was at T in the Park this summer. Couldn’t believe it. That means come spring next year all the festivals will be sold out before any bands are booked.

Anyway, back to Therapy. There is no reason why they shouldn’t play. Last time they were there…1994 high up on the bill that was headlined by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Soundgarden.

If the Wildhearts could play Reading this year, there is hope for Therapy too. Best place to put them would be the Radio 1 tent.

I thnk the capacity of the Mandela Hall is about 1,000. No more than that. The Ulster Hall would hold more.

Seen Therapy? there twice and both gigs rocked. I won’t be able to make it this time as I’ve been invited to a wedding reception in the evening! :eek:

I was holding off on going as I heard Ash were playing in Belfast at the same time and was undecided on which gig I wanted to go to. I’m a big fan of both bands. Looks like I won’t be going to either now!!

I’m thinking of going myself. Have to get one of my mates into going as he’s a big Therapy? fan like myself.

Apparently they are looking for somebody to come stage with them to sign Screamager!

Did any of you hear the news that Zwan have cancelled their entire European tour?

That means no appearances at Glastonbury, T in the Park and Witnness!! :mad:

I was so looking forward to seeing them at Witnness.

I think I did see somebody wearing a Teethgrinder t-shirt. Haven’t seen anybody wear one of those in years.

Thought Seven Nation Army was a strange choice for a cover but they did it very well.

Title: Audioslave in Dublin last night

Did anybody go to the Point last night to see Audioslave?

I went down to see them and they were fantastic. Hard to compare them with Soundgarden or Rage Against The Machine as they are just so different.

Saw quite a lot of people wearing T? t-shirts at the gig. What did anybody else think of it if they were there?

Jonny

The magazine was very well put together and the Therapy? interview was fantastic. Good luck for future issues as I really enjoyed reading it.

And thanks for putting on a fantastic show at the Mandela Hall. It rocked big time! Having Therapy? to do the show was just fantastic.

Any plans for future gigs?

Title: Any thoughts on the new album?

I’ve just got the new Radiohead album and I think it’s great. Saw them in Belfast last month and heard the new songs for the first time that night and I just couldn’t wait for the album to come out. I didn’t even bother downloading. Just wanted to buy it, stick it on and enjoy it.

Favourite tracks so far are There There, 2 + 2 = 5, Myxomatosis, Where I End and You Begin and Scatterbrain.

Anybody else like the album?

Title: Review of the Belfast gig…

Came across a review of the Belfast gig on Across The Line.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/atl/reviews/06062003therapy.shtml

Quote (author unknown):

the printed out setlist was wrong :eek: I was doing stills photography for the dvd and we were told to be in certain positions at certain songs but then the band played them in a different order!

Does that mean that the DVD that will be released will not be the entire gig? I’m assuming you are saying that only certain songs were recorded.

I bought the green t-shirt and it seemed to fit me ok for extra large size.

Did anbody at the Belfast gig see one of the guys on stage wearing a t-shirt that said Punk Floyd on it and it had Therapy?’s Archie logo done in the style of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon album cover? It looked like a pretty cool t-shirt.

Did anybody buy the Alternative Ulster magazine? I bought a copy and there was a really good interview with Andy Cairns in it.

Last nights gig was fantastic. Possibly the best T? gig I’ve seen and I’ve seen them 9 times now since 1992. Andy and the lads were really up for it and gave a performance of their lives. The new songs were great live and Neil is a great drummer too.

The Mandela Hall is a great venue. I’ve seen T? twice there now. The last time was in 2001 but this gig was just amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic and everybody seemed to be having a good time.

Plenty of crowd surfing on the night too! Was tempted to go up but chickened out! :p

They played all the songs I wanted to hear, especially Teethgrinder and Knives! Both fantastic. Good version of Diane too was played and Potato Junkie was brilliant. My only gripe was that they didn’t play Isolation :( but apart from that it was a brilliant gig and I hope they will come back and do another show.

What did anbody think of the support acts? Yakuza were alright but the sound didn’t really sound good when they were on. Somedaysbetter were very good but were only on for a short set.

Thanks for pointing that out everybody! I never saw it when I first looked at the inside. :)

Title: What’s the song at the end of Rust?

I’ve just got the album (at last!!) I suppose everybody is wondering what the hell kept me getting it!

I ordered it off http://www.eil.com just before it was released as well as ordering Teethgrinder on CD single which I’ve been trying to get for years!

Teethgrinder arrived in record time but no sign of High Anxiety on its day of release. :rolleyes: Everytime I checked, my order kept getting postponed, so I gave up and cancelled it and ordered it off Amazon at the weekend and it arrived today!

Brilliant! :cool: I’m on my second listen at the moment so that I will know the new tunes for the Belfast gig on Friday night. Will probably take a while before I find out what my favourites are but I really like Hey Satan You Rock, Rust and the single If It Kills Me.

What I really want to know is, what is the song a couple of minutes after Rust finishes? Anybody know?

Ash are fantastic live. I’ve seen them so many times I’ve lost count. Shames me to say this but I’ve seen them more times than T? but having said that, they done loads of gigs and any festivals I have been to, Ash have always been there. I’ve only seen T? at two festivals - Witnness and Ozzfest in Ireland. They should be playing some this year.

Anybody see Ash supporting T? in the Ulster Hall many years ago. That was a cracker gig. Also on the bill was Joyrider and all the bands were from N. Ireland.

Title: Graham Hopkins new band Halite

Has anybody here heard of ex-T? drummer Graham Hopkins new band, Halite?

For any T? fans that live in Belfast, Graham will be playing with his new band in the Front Page in Belfast on Saturday 15 June. They are also one of the acts that will be opening this years Slane too.

Did anybody ever tape the music programme on ITV called the Beat? It used to be on during the early 90s during the wee small hours of the morning at weekends. I remember seeing a clip of T? performing on it but it was just them on stage playing in front of the cameras with no audience.

Anybody remember the programme that I’m talking about?

I’m going to the gig too but I still haven’t got my copy of H.A. yet!!! :mad:

I ordered it off the net and it’s still yet to arrive. Should have bought it in the shop instead!!!

I hope they play some older material for the Belfast gig.

Would like to hear Teethgrinder, Opal Mantra, Knives to name but a few but some older stuff like Meat Abstract, Dancin’ With Manson and Potato Junkie would be great too.

Does anybody know how long the support bands are going to be playing for and how long T?’s set will be?

I’ve just got my tickets for the gig too. According to Radio Ulster’s Across The Line webpage, Stuart Bailie will be doing a big write up on T? for the Alternative Ulster magazine which will be being sold at the gig.

Really looking forward to it now. Somedays Better are really good and I have no idea of what Yakuza sound like but I’m sure it will be a good show.

It would be great if they could pull together footage of anything they may have done for UK or Irish tv.

Is there any footage out their of their performances at either Feile or Witnness?

Title: Anybody see T? at Tattoo the Planet?

This is probably a bit out of date but I was clearing out old issues of NME today and I came across a review of that Tattoo the Planet gig at Wembley Arena. This came from NME on 27/10/01 and this is what they said about T?

‘Diehard metallers might view Therapy? as today’s weakest link. But their greatest hits still raise a devil-horn salute, particularly when ‘Knives’ condenses everything Slipknot have to say into a two-minute singalong. Don’t forget, this was the band who covered Joy Division at Donnington and survived.’

Just read the review of the gig. That was excellent!! Did anybody read the review for the album on the same page? They gave it 8/10.

Cheers Dermott :)

Does that mean that the Students Union is the only place selling tickets?

Title: Still no sign of Belfast tickets…

Seems that everybody but Queens and Ticketmaster at Virgin cannot seem to confirm that T? are playing at the Mandela Hall.

Across The Line’s webpage on Radio Ulster has confirmed the gig for the Alternative Ulster magazine launch but there doesn’t seem to be any tickets available as yet. The Dublin gig is on sale at the moment.

Does anybody or even the band members know what is going on? Belfast is really bad for announcing when bands are playing.

I called into Virgin Megastore today to see if tickets were available and they said that they would probably know over the next couple of days as Queens haven’t told them anything about tickets.

I wonder why they couldn’t get on the Metallica bill. T? were brilliant at Ozzfest last year. Maybe the organisers didn’t think the kiddies that would be there to see Linkin Park wouldn’t know what to make of T?

Try http://www.eil.com for it. Last time I checked they had it on 7” single but you could email them and see if they could get it for you.

I recently got my hands on Teethgrinder after all these years of missing it when it first came out. They also have a collection of some other T? items as well.

I was at the Therapy?/Ash/Joyrider gig at the Ulster Hall too. That was a brilliant gig. All the bands were brilliant. Have fond memories of that night. Will never forget Ash onstage with their big cardboard cutout of Princess Leia from Star Wars onstage when they were doing Girl From Mars and then chucking it into the crowd, which got torn to pieces! :p

Hope T? play a lot of old stuff and I’d love to hear Knives again live. It rocks big time when they play it live.

Any other old school T? fans out there?
