Dave Fanning Confronts Bootleggers at Queen's 1986 Slane Castle Concert

[busterkeatonsbriefs]

sure they were doing no harm.

[niallvan]

I love the bootlegger with the tache. Brilliant!

[Burncourtable]

Fanning has alwalys been a total music snob. I hated his show on 2fm and he destroyed the beatbox when he got it. Never played a instrument in his fuckin life and he preaches about music. Fuck all the way off you thin little fuckwad

[tightropetomg]

1:57 - the cops don't seem too bothered :-)

[BIGINSF]

Great concert. I was there.

[khashoggi191]

isn't it great the way the cops just walk by grinning like dodo's .... ps . i live 2 mile from slane ... i was only 9 ... pity ...

[hollarallmypeeps]

Respect for the guy at 4:11 giving the fingers to the camera!

[TheJumpyPopcorn]

I hate that ponce , I just want to push him down to the crowd so they can teach him to never talk bad about the greatest band ever! What a jerk.

[benalchemist74]

how did we ever produce should a cunt like dave fanning. apologies

[2stoned2evencare]

i was there that year,and the biggest rip off was the prices inside the gate.fair play to fanning once again he showed he was never in touch with the working class kids of the time...poor interview skills, pompous attitude & no taste in music....anyone ever see the interview with Slash!

i still cringe LOL.

[ninelivecat]

They where just a bunch of kids making a few quid People prob knew where to get the officicial merchandise which is usually overpriced anyway

[blacklawlessd]

Fanning shouldnt be on TV, He is a two faced limp interviewer. He slated Fleetwood Mac when interviewing Rory Gallagher, and I just saw him on TV gobsmacked when interviewing fleetwood Mac. If he had a problem with their music, why didnt he bring it up when speaking to them.

[TroyDouglas917]

Yeah, I remember the night Freddie Mercury died, Fanning was on the radio within an hour talking about Queen and saying "they've never been one of my favourite bands and (with barely concealed delight) I don't see them continuing at all." I thought it was quite insensitive to put the boot in so soon after the man had died.

[jimmy27paul]

Dave fanning always was and always will be a prick.

[Cristopherqueen]

3:50 wtf??, it's gilby clarke??

[davidnavancavan]

this is the way Slane should be

[fursfan83]

typical Dave sucking up to the artists

[nouoriel]

Why the fuck was rte so concerned with people selling t-shirts outside a gig in 1987 when the country was up shit creek without a paddle? i was at the queen gig, and i was at neil young in 94?, and i bought a bootleg neil t-shirt. Inside (inside the field that is) it was 14 quid, I got it for 3 outside, it was grand for a year and then i used it for a vest for 3 more. the bands rip everyone off with "merchandise".

[TroyDouglas917]

Yeah, they should've confronted Charlie Haughey for squandering taxpayer's money on Charvet shirts for himself. Instead, they went for an easy target - working-class people selling t-shirts. 30,000 people left Ireland in 1986, my brother was one of them. We were at Slane together and six weeks later he was gone.

[nouoriel]

Cheers for the upload, enjoyed it.

[TroyDouglas917]

Yeah, Dave Fanning was a kid then..

[dvangasse]

[StalinsKnights]
