The only thing i'd like to say is, i'm glad i went. [img]smile.gif[/img]
oh aye? [img]wink.gif[/img]
more like glad thom went? (childish giggle)
king prawn were ace
whitmore were pretty good
just some people got annoying when they stood at the front doing fuck all, mind you if they dont wanna dance (or attempt to) its thier money they can do what they like.
so who actually liked king prawn before they found out they were playing the beachcomber? probably less than a quarter of you. i bet after you found out they were playing they had suddenly always been your favourite band. fucking sad tossers. it's the same with lost prophets and one minute silence - if these bands hadn't played the beachcomber you wouldn't give a shit about them and you know it. i remember a certain person going to me and haz "yeah the lost prophets - i heard one of their songs on a kerrang cd about five years ago" after the news that they were playing the beachcomber - how can i not mock you for this? i am mister 'i hate everything' gav after all. you know it's a newbo gig when perry shows up. i'd rather stay at home than force myself to like some shit band just because they're famous and playing locally.
i did, they aint my fave band but they're pretty fukin good, really good live.

anoter insightful pile of shit.
yes, the coach will go ahead if twenty o so people are up for going
it would be nice if u guys could make it.
i thought the gig was the best local gig i've been to probibly ever. i'd have to say king prawn were good but i liked whitmore better. Maybe coz the singer remembers me form the spunge gig, i was in thew toilets sayin i didn't think they were gonna be any good.....boy was i wrong
Acyually I know of a few people that liked King Prawn before the Beechy gigs...they used to ask me to play stuff years ago.
And One Minute Silence...it took $olid way too long to get them down...and they had loads of fans way before they played here...I used to use 'stuck....'as a circle pit starter 2 years ago.
Live gigs are intended to impress and get people to like the bands...thats the point,people dont just get into them cos they are at the beechy...hence 20 people for douglas and no requests for miocene......
I really enjoyed it. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] a lass got her boobies out to me. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] King Prawn Ruled They were Awsome.O-M-S ruled, does anyone know if solid will be able to get them back????any chance at all????.
hey i don't doubt that some of you liked king prawn before the gig, i know many who liked them long before the gig was announced. and i don't doubt that it was a good gig - it sounds like an alright one, a lot of mini moshers of course but what would a beachie gig be without them? it would be NOTHING, NOTHING I TELLS YA! i just don't agree with the attitude of let's suddenly go mad on a band for no good reason. don't turn the post into an attack by me on king prawn or the local scene. it's an attack on the attitudes of people who claim to like a band loads seemingly for the sole reason that they have played or are playing locally, even if this is the case for only a few i don't think it's right and am voicing my worthless opinion - someone's got to disagree with the yeter pang people or it'd be no fun around here.
another insightful piece of shit eh, ed? bit like your media project then.
Mister Gav you're useless aren't you. Who gives a shit wether people only just found out about King Prawn?
Personally I starterd liking them in 2000, and went to the gig in March 2001 in which Yeter Pang, Shuriken and Professor Pumpernickle supported. But who fucking cares? No one!
Stop preaching cuz no one gives a shit if they don't want to hear it
"Live gigs are intended to impress and get people to like the bands...thats the point,people dont just get into them cos they are at the beechy...hence 20 people for douglas and no requests for miocene......"
100% right ants, i like the way you think. this is what they are intended for but it's not exactly how it works out (though it does in most cases). hence 50 people for Ride On The Twelve or some other shit-hot local band - hundreds for Lost Prophets, a band that are nowhere near as good as some of the GY bands simply because they are heard of. i just don't think this is right. i'm not doubting that people liked king prawn or that people came to the gig to hear them and got into them but .. ah you've heard it all before. here's another thing - without the hype of that gig most of the people who went probably wouldn't have thought it was anything special - let's say this band were from GY and were just playing regular gigs - noone would give them the kind of attention they got. just look at nonsense - they deserved so much better than they got - they're one of the best bands i've ever heard - not just local bands and noone round here appreciated their talents but if they were famous and played a gig it would be out of control. can we call this fair? no. but it's the way it is so i guess i'm just gonna have to live with it. can't beat a good bit of pointless complaining though.
christ, everyone's taking this pretty hard. as i've said loads of times. i don't deny that people liked the band before now. WHAT I'M SAYIN IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLY WENT BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING HYPE. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HUNG-OVER HEADS. stop turning this into something it's not.

Why are you stating this?
Thom?!?!, what you mean that anorexic loser from the ex-member's, no way ed.
I didn't think you thought it went well then you threw your snare and sticks on the floor.
is that coach to the dickies going ahead then?
True...it doesnt seem fair when a local band gets less people than a band that may not be as talented...not sure that Lost Prophets arent talented though...but with these local bands they have the problem being that solid charge way too much for local gigs.....Spiders doesnt get a great deal of people mostly...although has a great atmosphere...West Marsh does and that is good exposure...but local bands are mainly playing to local people...its the older generation that actually is interested...

i wud just liek to say mister gav gud point about ed media project!! sorry ed that was gud!!
n it wasnt so long ago that king prawn refused to play the beechy after the first time because they said they were too big and didnt like the area
so all u guys lovin them think about that
y do u think they came this time? i wud say the extra money steve gave them
Kitchen Junkie, I just thought about it. And I still love them. And you're making it up [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Why can't you people ever actually understand the meaning behind peoples posts?
Like Gav keeps saying, he's complaining about people that don't like a band at all, but when they find out they are playing at the Beachy suddenly they buy their hoody and when me and Gav confront them they say "I heard their track on the Kerrang! compilation in about 1997" as if that makes them a long-time fan, when quite clearly they aren't.
This has happened numerous times - mainly with One Minute Silence though. Back in Lindsey about 4 people suddenly had OMS hoodies about a week after the gig was announced. How gay!
It's more gay that you get worked up about it. Kids in hoodies must keep you awake at night
And you speak as though you know exactly what goes through their heads.... makes me wonder
Lol on it.
Why do you feel so threatened by these "newbo's"? Is it that you're really scared of your own past or something, you guys are pretty sad really, and i'm boycotting these shit topic's from now on.
here here...why not just add "Mr Gav" to your ignore list, that would be dead funny,especially if everyone did it
But how many of the people still have the hoodies today? and how many people can say that they r still in their top 5 fav bands? not many i think but i will.i still have the hoody and they are still one my favourite bands,possibly my most favourite.
my guess is the people getting worked up about newbos and solid etc. acctially do nothing for the so called scene.
oh im controversial.
oh i dont give a fuck anymore.
anarchy means i litter.
Joe,Joe,Joe...You're so wrong......
Anarchy is all about swearing at police..I mean rozzers...I mean old Bill ,everyone knows that......
gay, i don't read for a month and have to come back to mister gav sprouting the same verbal shite. i thought you said you were gonna stop posting about 5 times already? the reason i went to the gig is because i have friends down in essex who are big king prawn fans and encouraged me to go, which hardly makes me a hardened fan, and so what if some ppl were only there because of the hype??? it was a well deserved hype and this is how bands become popular and make money, through exposure, and again how some ppl may find a band that they like which they previously hadnt heard of.
I>G>N>O>R>E>D.
you weren't ignored, i just felt that the point you made was so clear and true you didnt need any1 else to back you up....but if you want me to... every1 has to start somewhere and most ppl here probably looked just like them once and had lots of bigger kids slagging you off for trying to be different... it never ends.
S'ok Emma i meant i have added mister Gav to my ignore list, that's all...
Silly sausage.(K)
