Anyone heard his stuff??

i went to see him live at the village having only heard one song "party on" thats on the other voices album... i went with a completely open mind thinkin ill really enjoy it once i get in there

it was the worst gig ive ever been to in my life... for a person who is so adored by his fans he really has some terrible lyrics... his thick dublin accent totally tru me off and his incoheirant babblings about him being a "revolutionist" then getting on the mic and sayin "yeh... that september eleventh thing was f**kin awefull wasnt it?" then going straight into a song...

the highlight of the night was sinead o conner coming out on stage and she was totally amazing... her voice is so intense and her feeling for damiens crap music was admirable to say the least

how can a man like that get a record label? any fans here who can explain to me what its all about???

Yeahhis accent is terrible but apparently he's getting elocution lessons.I saw him on songs from a room and he didn't really appeal to me.That 'negative vibes'(??) song was all right though.
