Chaos metallers Slipknot play the 3Arena in Dublin last night.
It got gnarly.
How gnarly?

Don’t be a little b***h if you go to a metal gig that’s what happens. Maybe you got confused on your way to see Mumford and sons.
oh meow
This kittens got claws.
Pretty sure he’s not complaining.
And yet his hair is perfect…
Really? I winced when I saw the hair
I’m pretty sure its meant to look like that. Which is what I meant by ‘perfect’, rather than an abstract assessment of its aesthetic qualities.

Not a scratch on the lad. Oasis in Slane (95), now that was a melee………
I got rightly trampled at that. The was a huge crowd, much bigger than they have now, and no real crowd control. In my memory there were no barriers at the stage or anything, no mosh pit. Could that be correct? This was before a girl was crushed and killed at the Smashing Pumpkins concert in the Point, so maybe things weren’t as organised as they are now. When Liam Gallagher told everybody to take a step back because things were getting a little bit crazy a stranger felt sorry for me and picked me up, not letting go until he had lugged me out of the thrashing mob.
Best concert ever. And I was really only there for REM, I was under the impression that I was a bit too cool for Oasis.
I think a couple of lads died trying to swim across the Boyne to get to the concert that year as well. It was certainly the last Slane concert for at least 3-4 years.
I seem to recall it was the REM gig at Slane in 95, where the young fellas drowned. Oasis were the support act.
It was. i was there. what an awesome gig. crazy but awesome
yeah it was just a stage and a field. We got in early and leaning on the front barriers for Spearhead & Belly. When Oasis came on we moved the back, it was bananas. I think Liam chucked a coin into the crowd that had been chucked at him, kickstarting the mayhem.
Gig ended at 10/11pm, I got home to Dublin at 5am iirc, the bus situation was asd bad then as it apparently is now.
Good times.
It was Noel who (as I recall) told people to calm down. Liam was too busy hurling bottles back into the crowd and telling us to eff off. I was with my GF and we were picked up by the tidal wave of people and swept about 50 metres back & forth. Bit scary. Then REM came on – without a word – and everyone started throwing flattened paper cups into the air like a blizzard.
You’d have gotten worse in Freakscene in 2004.
Jayz, I’m old. I used to go there when it started, ten years before that. ‘Twas never too mad then, though. Maybe ye were a more boisterous lot.
Sure it’s all over now Ted. The young ones don’t want to listen to the Smiths and mosh to Smashing Pumpkins in a nightclub anymore…dark days my friend.
He’ll grow out of it.
pretty sure he looked the same before the gig, maybe slightly better posture
Is that what a chest is meant to look like?
Oh…
*fetches scissors and 12 pack of disposable Bic razors, goes on diet*
Don’t forget the filter
getting strung out on heroin has the same result at a fraction of the cost!
You’ll need to fetch a time machine first.
*fondles sagging paps*
You are correct, sir.
The Sagging Paps….the new Irish media supergroup with Paul Williams on guitar and Barry Egan on vibes. And coke.
Call him a hipster if you like but I’m sure that’s how fans of The Cure looked back in the day. Sounds like he had a good time.
More Jesus and Mary Chain. Smacks of the need for Reid.
… and more lipstick and eyeliner, and mange.

Youth enjoys popular music combo’s performance, informs twitter.
A ripped t-shirt and tussled hair.
Is it sad that it’s gotten to the point where kids are having tamer lives than their parents?
Whislt not exactly a ROFL or a LOL, I did snigger quite audibly at this comment.
more than a ‘heh’ but less than a ‘hahahahahahaha!!!!!11111’ ?
Probably because every thing they do gets recorded and posted somewhere.
The awkward moment when you check out cute guys twitter feed and see that he’s in still in school…
YOU MONSTER!
*phones Max Clifford*
*At Leyhill Prison*
“Clifford! There’s someone on the phone for you…Der, from the Broadsheet comment section…Yes, I know you’re in the middle of a tennis match, but he says it’s urgent…”
Gang Green in Voodoo Lounge March 17th 2006 ( or was it 07 or 08? ) was a deadly night for full on mosh pit mayhem, stage dives, getting up with the band, going mental for ‘Alcohol’ with the couple of hundred at most that were there…. deadly night.
‘Alcohol ! I’d rather drink than f**k, no doubt about it, I can’t live without it alcohol! ” ….I broke my glasses… :(

Slipknot and Oasis are the same but opposite. Crap.
actually, joey jordison is an excellent drummer.
so is alan white, come to think of it. and a gentleman to boot. he can do things with a paradiddle that’d make your hair stand on end.
Shur they kicked him out.
He looks like a stiff breeze would give him trouble.
“..enjoy my nipple x” ?
WTF?
Sounds like he’s still feeding from his ma’s.
Sultans of ping in McGonagles in the 90’s.
Saw Doctors in the Point in the 90 ‘. ..unexpected but true…bruised chest…suspected broken toe
the pogues, sfx 1987. fists, feet and elbows flying for 90 minutes. twas like a gaa match on steroids, great craic.
Best mosh pit I was in in recent years had to be Atari Teenage Riot in 2010. Great interaction between the band and the crowd. Well, until someone threw a bottle at Alec Empire and he dived into the crowd to confront him.
The Pogues at The Point, again a St Patrick’s night, sometime in the early naughties….. as one of the lads said on the way in…. “why are you taking off your watch Franny”… “hey Liam, where’s your glasses”… later that night we all understood why :)
Cracking night !
The Pogues, National Stadium (apt gig for a boxing stadium), early 90s with the late great Joe Strummer – very Clashy.
Megadeth, de olympic ballroom 1987/8 (memory fading).
Ouch.
These comments are why I love Broadsheet :)
Pffft, kids today, it’s not a real mosh pit unless an ambulance has to be called.
Jesus lads, put a NSFW tag on before you post a picture of a GIANT FANNY.
This lads tweets read much like parody.
Jesus that lad needs a good dinner
A few of ’em
Silly.
“Chaos metallers” lol
