Feb 5th 2007 - Brutal Truth @ The Voodoo Lounge, Dublin:
That last one is of Party Patchie & everyone's favourite DJ Father Ted - who (as
H pointed out) looks like Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath.
My favourite of these pics - and I may well change my mind about this soon - is the one of the awesome Rich Hoak on drums doing a cracking guern. His opening line in Manchester: "
People often ask me, 'Are you *always* angry?'. And I reply 'Yes, why, aren't you?'".
Here is the top and bottom of the Dublin trip - on this day I think we were the luckiest men in Europe:
Spent Sunday night in a little place called Woolton village
Woke up 2 hours late for the airport on Monday morning
I woke up in Patchie's ma's bed too (I haven't got a CLUE how that happened)
Almost lost my passport in the airport pub after having a double vodka at 7am
Ate an egg & onion sandwich on arrival at Dublin International, for the novelty factor (it tasted pretty okay)
Got on the bevvies in Dublin at about half 11... and didn't stop drinking til 3am the next morning
Acted like imbeciles all day long (but never forgot our manners when it counted)
Got fed loads of food for free in several pubs
Walked about 5 miles to find the gig venue in sub zero temperatures wearing only tshirts because "we'll wear the merch, that will keep us warm"
Invented a band called Skowzerbyowt and told everyone about it
Asked a random girl in a Godflesh hoodie for a good club to go to after the gig and she asked us "Do you like slags?". HUHUH????
Ended up in the busiest Monday night club in Ireland until 3am drinking vodka & red bull and dropping hideous Guinness farts, clearing the dance floor several times as a result
Got woke up in the night by Party Patchie who was brandishing pool cues and shouting "NOZZER" at me
Had a goddamn ball
