Billy Corgan @ The Ambassador, Dublin

Bumpman · 05-06-2005, 01:45 PM

I don't know if anyone's interested, but he's playing June 17th and as of this morning there's less then 100 tickets left...

cille · 05-06-2005, 05:57 PM

thanks for telling us that - made me look at corgan's tour plans and realised he's doing a gig in amsterdam the 9th of june - i know somebody who'd love to see that, and i'd love to see holland!

#Ian# · 05-06-2005, 06:24 PM

€48 a ticket, thats nuts, I wouldn't pay that for a reformed Pumpkins gig.

cille · 05-06-2005, 07:16 PM

in holland it's only 27 E's (sorry, don't have fancy euro signs on my keyboard)

I guarantee you that you can find it in your character map cille. Ian my ticket only cost 39 quid and i got it from ticketmaster too, what's the story eh? Anyway i was in a ticket buying mood, i got tickets to the Pixies and Sonic Youth... and i knew i'd regret it if i didn't go to se Billy... his new stuff is sad again, which is good, because some people just can't pull off the happy with music.

well since that is unlikely to happen you don't have to consider it

i was pleasantly surprised that ye made a thread about this
i'm going, i'm going!!1
woot, woot!

he is supposed to be on Dave Fanning's 6pm show this week or next week
i'll probably miss the interview cos of fecking work though
grrrrr......

cille · 06-04-2005, 03:28 PM

anyone heard his new album (leaked yesterday, i believe). i'm getting PURRRDY concerned about my ear drums at the dutch gig in less than a week... i mean, what da f***???

Bumpman · 06-04-2005, 06:07 PM

i haven't heard it, i'm not too interested in downloading it though because i'd like to go not knowing any songs... i saw interpol in 2003 not having heard their album at the time and it was just incredible.

I have no way to get home afterwards though... which could be a problem.

i have heard half of it
my connection is crap you see
i don't really like it at all though which sucks
hopefully it will grow on me

and what do you mean by the second half of your message?
sure it mightn't be that loud??

i'd advise that you download it first...

i'm concerned with the level of noise that's all - maybe he will keep it down live of course.

Bumpman · 06-07-2005, 06:15 PM

Well i don't have any conventional filesharing programs, that being illegal ones... i only get live music from the internet. So there isn't much of a chance that i'd get to hear it before i go to the concert. I'm hoping to be plesantly surprised, but i'm comfortable to have payed money just to hear him sing.

hollowrose · 06-07-2005, 11:57 PM

well i read that the portugal gig was quite loud
so maybe not....

and bumpman
i's using bearshare, its fairly good
did you hear a100 and walking shade?
i really hope it will be good live
do you want me to send you any of the songs?

Bumpman · 06-08-2005, 12:10 AM

I haven't heard anything by him, i wouldn't mind hearing one or two songs so i could pm you my email address.

It's not too surprising that the shows are quite loud, pumpkins shows often went well over the legal decibel limit. It's mostly so that people can't talk, so they either pay attention or leave... i guess that's what you have to do when you play in L.A clubs...

hollowrose · 06-09-2005, 12:58 AM

i saw walking shade on tg4 one day hehe!
i think its on yahoo music aswell
pm me your addy and what song/s you want so

hollowrose · 06-16-2005, 01:21 AM

his album is available to listen to it on myspace
www.myspace.com/billycorgan

Bumpman · 06-16-2005, 11:42 AM

cheers

cille · 06-16-2005, 12:14 PM

i just wrote a loooong review of my experience at the dutch corgan gig but it disappeared when i tried to post it and i can't be arsed with rewriting it (select all + copy before you post cille!

). here's the MUCH shorter version:

just wanna say that surprisingly enough i kinda liked billy corgan. it wasn't loud, but noisy. i particularly enjoyed the wall of light behind the band, very fancy. and i love the way he looks into the eyes of his audience when he plays solos, not many artists dare that. he also shook hands w people after the gig. i'll never love his voice, but it would have been more tolerable in an acoustic setting. the sound was horrible and i could never hear linda strawberry's backing voc's. hopefully that was due to the local sound guy, so it will be better at other gigs.
i hated the opening act gliss, their music seriously gave me a near-panic attack.

i wrote a lot more but it's lost in cyberspace.

hollowrose · 06-17-2005, 12:44 AM

well thanks for the mini review
on the other board everyone was going on about the cool tiles

i'm too hopeful that i'll enjoy it but fingers crossed eh?
the songs are too, oh i don't know bizarre for my liking
they are growing on me a little though

yeah, i feel like that too, and then again the other day i actually felt like listening to a few songs so i guess they do grow on even people who don't like that kind of stuff. i HATE his version of 'to love somebody', though. the song was cheesy before and he's not making it any less cheesy...

Bumpman · 06-20-2005, 12:45 PM

I loved the show, it was worth the money just to see the 2-3 seconds of 'Today', the new songs are really nice, i kinda think billy is a bit obtuse with the band that he's in... but it works really well.

I've always liked his voice too, it's just different.

cille · 06-20-2005, 06:31 PM

cool, glad you liked it. did he shake hands with the audience that night too after the concert?

Bumpman · 06-20-2005, 11:46 PM

He was at it for the whole night actually... it really was a pleasure to see him, it felt really strange finally seeing someone in the flesh who you've been seeing in magazines and film for ten years. Much like when i saw The Pixies.

Anyway yeah, he did seem very gracious and happy that people were coming to the shows. He really knows how to control/exite a crowd too, it's quite rare that you see someone that confident about something.

hollowrose · 06-21-2005, 02:39 AM

he didn't talk enough

there was stupid young boys beside us
fools
he was such a pricktease playing Today hehehe
he couldn't reach to shake hands unfortunately
stupid stage

cille · 06-21-2005, 08:34 AM

how was the sound btw? could you hear linda strawberry (backing singer) at all? cause we couldn't

cille · 06-21-2005, 12:42 PM

just heard the pumpkins are reuniting!
