Just got back from the Preston gig. Outstanding. Videos give you no idea of the energy generated by these guys..........I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight!
Did Green Day do something like this...euuh, later? Like 20 years later? Ahhaaaaaa I swear ta Fuck that I see the future Green Day here.But then... theyprobably all do the same. Up the Ra, thanks for last week in Marsley Park, Dublin, boys. Here's to another 20 years. And never to leave them. Most love, Liam and his great daughter Nóra. All the best, lads.
id never heard them before untill my cousin pursuaded me to see them live in liverpool and they are now my favourate band and the best live band iv seen :)
I have seen slf countless times live since the mid 80s onwards. I always come away with a smile on my face and a sore throat. (dont be childish) Long live the fingers i say.
Love this video. Great quality. As for the band I can only say they were only too happy to provide me with signed pics to raffle off for a charity event my scooter club were holding, unlike many other bands.
" I don't wanna be nobody's star.." How come he goes round acting like a pampered rock star prick, making silly rider demands, getting other bands kicked out of the backstage area when they headline, treating support bands like shit, etc I could go on but as the song says "Give me Charlie Harper anyday"
To theexploited90 - I am talking about him based on what plenty of people have said including good friends of mine who WERE big fans before they supported SLF.
Well i had a different experience - spoke to the promoter of the show straight after they came off stage, he said he'd ask Jake if we could meet him and the band, Jake let us come backstage, signed posters, took photos, chatted for 5 minutes and was an absolute legend. This was in 2006. The only rider demands they have are for beer and some decent food.
Also, Jake regularly chats with fans on the SLF Forum about all sorts from guitars to football, the most down to earth "rockstar" around.
sidekickdaz - sounds like you've had a different experience to a lot of people I know! Maybe he's come a down to earth a bit since the 90s. I know that my mates' band were treated pretty obnoxiously by them including Jake a few years back, and I've heard quite a few similar stories. There's plenty of bands behave like this but it then annoys me when he sings lyrics like this.
As for the rider, the "fluffy towels" stories are legendary. More evidence for the prosecution to follow soon!!!
attitude , unique-personalities , fuck the system ,
maybe you're friends were being tossers themselves ??? who knows really whats going on in there tiny minds ?? every cunt goes a bit too far @ times..woo-hoo.thank God 4 DIVA'S ,,GET IT UP YAE LOL
I love SLF i have saw them about 10 times,if you wanna go to a great gig the st paddys day gigs at the barras are superb,i would love to see them blowing a big summer festival away
I am 17 and got into their 1st new zealand show :). Just use an ID that sort of looks like you and is over 18. The bouncers respect the fact that you would really like to see them and just let you in with someone elses id anyway.
