The Red Hot Chili Peppers are getting a lot of stick, and a bit unfairly so. I'm no fan, but "By The Way" is a cracking album. To be fair though, I think the reason I like the album is because it is a point of reference to a happy time in my life. That is the beauty of music. Without sounding too corny, it can take you elsewhere.
Also, the Black Keys gig at the Point was sh*te Edited by Paulie - 20 Jul 2019 at 3:56am |

HI was being as fair as possible. I know music is subjective and there are some songs and artists that I know are talentless knobs that I enjoy because of the above reason, but this is a bridge too far.
I’ll put it this way; how many bands have heard these ****s and been inspired to try and make music? They are like the reverse Clash. Their only redeeming feature is Flea being in The Big Lebowski. Christ, even his name is f**king annoying!

One of the things I always heard about the RHCP is that their live performances are inconsistent and that even die hard fans are easily able to select a best and worst gig they have attended. I have never actively considered paying to see them live, even though I wouldn’t be as critical as some here.
But I do remember that gig they played with The Pixies 15 years ago and the amount of people who attended exclusively for Pixies, and how there was a consensus amongst a large portion of the attendees that the order of the bill was reversed.

Tough again no particular order
Prince - Malahide Castle - I remember being devastated when he cancelled the Croke Park gig. Was first in the queue for tickets for this and what a phenomenal gig this was. Glad to have seen him before he died. The cure - Hyde Park - start to finish this was epic. All I can say. Simon and garfunkel-rds - another act I'm glad to have seen, the ambience at it was amazing you could hear a pin drop as they captivated everyone. Muse-Dublin Castle - I've seen muse many times but this was the first time I seen them and one I've always remembered. Manics-holy bible Olympia-Another band I've seen numerous times but the Holy Bible from start to finish was just special. Other notable mentions, placebo have never disappointed, Strokes put on a good show Edited by lassassinblanc - 20 Jul 2019 at 11:17am |

You have a couple of beauts in there. I'll always regret never seeing Prince live and that Cure gig at Hyde Park was supposed to be special alright. |

Considering 95% of their songs are about California, surely they inspired somebody there to play! |

Fixed. Joking aside, you can judge how good they are musically by how other musicians view them. I am sure you can find a link to someone, somewhere admiring them, but must of the comments I have read from talented musicians seem to suggest that Nick Cave's view dominates.

I had to check up the Nick Cave quote as I hadn't heard it before. Funny. |

I was a big fan of them when I was 14/15 but I don't think their music has aged well. Kiedis' book is worth a read though.

The Nick Cave insult is pretty funny.
Looking it up actually got me reading about Freddie Mercury, whose wit was amazing and cutting!

Yeah Freddie was a sharp one alright!
Personally I like both the chilliest and nick cave so that’s ok then. Best 5 gigs, Ian Dury twice first in the late 70s/early80s in the Olympic ballroom in Camden st then in vicar st about 2000 I think.REM at slane were ok,therapy?in Prague in an old Art Deco hotel which was also showing the 94 World Cup in a beer room, deadly.same week Vaclav Havel and his jazz combo in an old Russian nuclear bunker. Also honourable mention to the one and only Chuck Berry, onstage at the Boys of Ballisodare folk festival in Sligo many moons ago, weird but enjoyable!! Then the big Dalymount gigs, Lizzy, Bob Marley,real good days out. f**k I’m old

I'll be seeing The Foos for the first time next month and I have hight hopes. Dave Grohl can be a bit shouty as a lead singer, but if they are anything like they were at Glastonbury a couple of years ago, I'll be well happy. |

Those Metallica gigs at the RDS were amazing m. The 2004 setlist was really diverse.

Public Enemy, SFX 1995. They'd played the Trinity Ball the time previously they'd played Dublin, so were more than happy to be slumming it in the SFX with actual fans. Ended up on stage with Chuck D and Flava Flav. RIP to the SFX. Saw some great bands there over the years.
Dropkick Murphys, Slattery's, Capel St, March '99. When they used to be good, before the real diddley-eye sh*te. Their first ever Irish gig. 150 people squashed in to a venue allowed to hold 86. Support from US Bombs and a load of the cream of Irish punk at the time. It's up on YouTube somewhere now, had a vhs copy of it too. Metallica, The Point, 1996. Back when they were just about still good, but by jaysus were they good back in the day. Opened with 'So What' by ANL. Still touring with the stage in the centre of the arena. Do they still do that now? The Prodigy, New Year Eve 95 and December 96. Words can't do these gigs justice. Probably saw them live 10 or 12 times but these stand out for being so formative for me. NOFX, The Olympia 2009. Seen them live a good few times, but this was the only time I saw them play The Decline. For some reason I have no recollection of the RATM gig in 2010, which is slightly scary. |
