finally going to see DROPKICK MURPHYS for the first time.

clevohardcore - 9-16-2007 at 11:51 PM

Ya, I always thought of them as weak until around 2000. Then I got into them. Tried int he past to make the shows but either other shows kept me from going or the fact that they played a really shitty WARPED TOUR kept me from going. Either way I'm siked.

you're in for a killer experience. live is where they kick the most ass.

BDx13 - 9-17-2007 at 09:15 AM

you should take a flag.
people always seem to have flags at their shows.
big flags on long poles.

from what i understand, the first 2 shows were not so tight
they had visa problems and cook got into the country the day of the first show so there was no time to go through the set
by the time i saw them they were a few shows in and were fucking KILLER
one of the best shows i have seen in my life

joemaconmovies - 9-17-2007 at 10:13 AM

i don't know how many places they played but someone i know who went to a new york show said that DKM was in clubs they weren't used to and the kids couldn't join in with them and so they weren't as good as they used to be. maybe that changed.

note: my 1,000th post!

clevohardcore - 9-17-2007 at 10:29 AM

I heard the place we are going to see them at was recently remodeled. THE CLEVELAND AGORA THEATER. I guess they have some weird pit area witha barrier now. Also they have more seats and they are supposed to be differrent angles. Hope this isn't a problem for shows like this.

shouldn't be. DKM is playing festivals now and rocking it. i wouldn't worry. they've adapted.

JawnDiablo - 9-17-2007 at 12:47 PM

I'd love to see them guys

Discipline - 9-17-2007 at 08:52 PM

DKM live is awesome. Saw them once with Mike singing and 3 or 4 times with Al.

clevohardcore - 9-18-2007 at 11:22 AM

New cd today and the show is tonight.

"Today is the greatest....DAY." *sings like smashing pumpkins and acts really fucking gay*

CR83 - 9-18-2007 at 11:54 AM

Prepare for a VERY load show. I saw them last year (I think) and it was the lowdest show I have been to. I wish they would have turned it down a bit but shit man, it is an awesome show.

tireironsaint - 9-18-2007 at 11:08 PM

Ever been to a Motorhead show, Chris? I thought I had seen loud shows until I saw them for the first time. From halfway back in the club, I could feel the beat pounding against my chest as if someone were hitting me with it. Not in a "dude, I fuckin' feeeel the beat" kinda way, but in a way where it was an actual physical impact. I've never been to a show that fucking loud.

The Murphys are a guaranteed good time. Even when Blackout came out and I was pretty burnt out on them and wasn't even interested in buying the album, I saw them and was drawn right back into loving them. I bought the album at the show with the money I was saving for my lunch the next day.

I saw them at least twice with Mike singing, but I think it was three times for some reason. Anyway, those guys were fucking phenomenal at what they were doing then. When Al came on board they had an entirely different thing going on which is great too, just not quite as much of an intimate experience as seeing your favorite Punk band like they used to be. Now it's like going to see AC/DC or something. It's an event and a guaranteed good time, but it's very different from the "in on an amazing secret" type of thing it used to be.

clevohardcore - 9-19-2007 at 12:29 AM

Just got back. All I ahve to say is AWSOME. Great fucking band to see live and I am drunk. Time for bed. I hope they come back soon and I will go every time I can.

Leads me to the next show coming up shortly. STREET DOGS. Next month. I will be there.

tireironsaint - 9-19-2007 at 12:31 AM

Street Dogs put on one of my favorite current live shows. Mike is an amazing front man.

I will shamefully admit that I left the show before Motorhead got on stage. I watched Skarhead and Hatebreed and then met up with Mrs. Reed83 who was my new lady at the time.

upyerbum - 9-19-2007 at 11:44 AM

Motorhead are loud, but the all time loudest show I've ever seen was The Real McKenzies, I was out on the street and it was like I was standing next to the speakers, I could hear everything crystal fucking clear. Live is the only way to truly appreciate DKM.

newbreedbrian - 9-19-2007 at 03:11 PM

^^^^^^ Actually for me I didn't even watch Hatebreed but 5 minutes or so. I spent my time at the bar and chatting it up. For SKARHEAD I watched the entire set.

THORP - 9-19-2007 at 04:38 PM

The Clevo show was great last night. drank too much and got home too late. DKM is so life affirming, but the day after seeing them, expect to drag ass at work!

upyerbum - 9-19-2007 at 07:12 PM

No shit, I was starin' down a 10 hour drive back to Nova Scotia. Dave, you were at that show....and you were there, and you were there.........

I will have to give you a sound thrashing for such a blasphemous act. How do you skip the greatest band of all time?

joemaconmovies - 9-19-2007 at 10:37 PM

how was Everybody Out!, featuring DKM's original guitarist Rick Barton

Yep, you read the right Brian. Skarhead was the main reason for going and they were awesome. This was just after their tour with Vanilla Ice. I'll say this too, Hatebreed rocked it that night.

clevohardcore - 9-20-2007 at 09:55 AM

Hatebreed are always good. I just saw them way too many times to get really excited though during that tour and album.
