Does Damien Rice LIke playing In England?

Does Damien Rice liek playing in England? I have heard in mags etc that Damien says he doesn't like playing in england what do you think

daol20 · 05-30-2004, 11:02 PM

I dont think that he dislikes playing anywhere, aslong as the crowd treat him with respect and let him play his music.

In certain venues recently, including Vicar St. in Dublin, he has put
on a show, and had ignorant arseholes heckling and shouting throughout
certain songs. It seems as though they're shouting, not to ruin the
performance, but to be heard by the crowd and get a laugh. But i've
seen it were Damo would shake his head in disgust, and heard of him
having to ask people to be quiet, and as a result not perfrom any
significant encore because of it. It 's bound to affect his
performance, and if he repeatidly gets the same response from the same
venue, then i couldnt blame him for not liking the place.

But as far as not liking playing in England, i dont think thats the case.

The same think happened when we saw Damien at brixton academy in London people shouting things like "BO SELECTA" & "Get off the stage"

Thats sounds a little bit more serious than, people shouting out of turn that they love him, and harmless things like that.

I didnt realise he had that kind of sh*t to deal with. Why do these
people go to the gigs in the first place? I dont understand that.

Damo's performance rely's on an intimate atmosphere, where he can play
his heart out and really reach people. And you cant have that with
those kind of arseholes shouting that sh*t at a gig.

I know that is what i think. Twats

daol20 · 05-30-2004, 11:16 PM

With the gig tomorrow night in
Vicar St. Im expecting something different. Something similar to his
gigs from before the arseholes starting going. (Which is something i've
only heard about, unfortunately) .

The reason im expecting something different, is because they didnt
advertise this gig as much as they did with the others. And i've a
feeling that it'll be just the real fans. And a solo gig, seated, makes
me think it'll be the intimate Damien Rice gig atmosphere i've heard so
much about.

*Fingers crossed*

did he this was on the friday i can't remeber, there were some proper w**kers there though. I can't understand why people pay like £20 to see something they don't want to!
I wouldn't pay that amount

I hope he does like playing in Engaland because I want to see him, and I know enough nice decent people here in Birmingham that appreciate real talent and would love to see and hear him play.

mestonf · 06-01-2004, 06:42 PM

yeah me too!

ayla* · 06-03-2004, 04:32 PM

yeh it happened on the sat of Brixton. complete assholes were shouting stupid things, not neccassarily rude but damien asked for quiet over and over... but they carried on. it no only pissed everyone off but clearly annoyed damien. ive heard he is really funny in concerts telling funny stories ad stuff but he didn't speak at all, apart form to ask for quiet so it affected his performance as well

selfish people. BUT i hope damien (sure he does) know not all english are like that

cille · 06-03-2004, 04:35 PM

The show in brixton wasn't very good. In comparison to when i saw him at the birmingham acadamy 2....its wasn't good. Those arseholes who shud just f**k offthey ruined the whole f**king show. Well whatever. It was just like ' yeh he's popular now. lets buy a ticket cos we're yuppie rich london scum and RUIN it for everyone. yeh, lets hope they meet their bitter end before thier rich over sub-scribed oh 'we never have to work again' pleasurable life really comes into full-flux.Edited by: Unabashed2
