What a dickhead Eric Bell is.

In a recent interview he's said how he didn't enjoy playing 'Whiskey in The Jar' with Metallica. I was there that night around 25 years ago and he's tainted the memory for me. It was the first time they played it live and Phil Lynotts mother Philomena was on the balcony and got a huge cheer.

And now he's trash talking the whole thing saying things like they thought he was in awe of them, but he didn't even know who they were. What cave had he been living in for 30 years before that? And he was expecting them to pay him £2000 for one song?

Thin Lizzy’s Eric Bell: ‘Metallica Thought I Was In Awe Of Them – Not True’

Thin Lizzy guitarist Eric Bell was once offered to play in a gig with Metallica, which, in his words, they thought he would be impressed. He was not. In a new interview with Guitar World, the rocker was asked about the 1999 gig where he was called to perform ‘Whiskey In The Jar,’ which was […]

I've always loved this song and it so reminds me of the early 70's playing it in our front room in Little Oaks Rd, Aston.

It must have been one of the first concepts of making a musical video as well.


 
I see Pearl Jam are doing a European tour, I was thinking about going to Marlay Park gig in Dublin because it's close to where I live, as long as tickets aren't too expensive hahahahaha

€117 for a ticket.

This is Pearl Jam who once went to court with Ticketmaster because they were ripping off fans.

I know a lot of these bands took a hit during Covid, but they are taking the piss now.

I think that's the going rate now. I paid £75 for Noel Gallagher tickets and thought that was decent !!!

I'm mulling over getting AC/DC tickets but the pricing hasn't come out yet.

I paid €70 for Emperor next month, and that's a sitting ticket because it was all that was left.

That is about my limit from now on, it's just getting ridiculous.
 
Very good indeed .

Would be the answer if I was asked what the Liam Gallagher/John Squire album was like (having listened to it 4 or 5 times through this weekend)


Probably my fave track on the album.

Not in the Liam Gallagher camp , but I think this is the best stuff he has done since Oasis.

Decent.
 
Had a few beers and as always I returned to the easy Irish songs that make me think perhaps too deeply about loved ones here and past.,,,,,,, Irish music has a habit of doing that.

However, what a beautiful song which I believe originated in Scotland.
