The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the virtual rugby pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

right I'm off for the night, nos da pawb, enjoy U2 those who are watching!

THEY'RE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEE!!!!

OMG! Even Better Than The Real Thing's a fecking class tune!!!

Oh feic, look at them butterflies. WoW

Dunno if you could pull off the leather trews like Bono though Gibbo

Oh wow!!! More Achtung Baby!!!

And Larry Mullen I still would.

Hey milk the attention Notch you deserve it sir! It's all down hill from here!

The Fly!!!

Sorry Notch, just joshing lad. Are you working at the Athletics track again this summer?

OK what summer he asks? But you know what I mean. Any flying Poissons?

isn't the bloke in the hat from Llanelli?

Awful weather here. Just awful. Going to watch the Last Samurai.

I know what you mean Cari. The only leather I look good in is the .......Sofa

Hmmm this is odd....another song from Achtung Baby...not like the band to be so uniform...you know they'll save the big classics til later on though.

Hopefully not Rodders, hopefully not. I'm hoping to get my Masters next year. Now that I will be proud of!

Yeah I am getting the odd shift, still regularly on Saturdays and the odd one during the week. Actually, I blame Antrim Forum for me not getting more! But that's ok. I need a little break, I'm a bit burned out from last year. My brother is flying in tomorrow and I'm going off to Donegal with him and my parents next week

Then a few other projects in the pipeline beginning after that... should be a good summer.

Feck I have to say I thought U2 were past it but boy was I WRONG!

Off to see Foo fighters at oxygen in a few weeks but I'd trade that for this in a heartbeat.

Hoi Gibbo, hows your oirse mate? After your day out with your mate. Roiding.



Bicycles

What could have been if his parents had stayed at home. Ah well, that's fate.

I'm a late convert to U2 I have to say. In school everybody loved them so this pig headed anti-conformist rebelled.

Skusey moi? Just as well this isin't interactive and you are not on my Babe Channel. Yeah.

Just yeah. Crotchless-leather as well. Bono couldnt handle that. No one could.



She moves in mysterious ways? Its a phhhiookin woman Bono, ya gobshoite.

Gibbo I know you're into leather but this isn't the place to discuss it

Bono's a tea leaf he's just nicked an expensive camera! You can take the boy out Dublin....

I've seen both bands at Wembley in the last couple of years. The Foos as a live band edged it (as Dave Grohl said on the night, it's impossible not to be awesome in front of 88,000+ people)

I have to admit I was never a great fan. Cari's enthusiasm has rubbed off with her links on Fookface. I am enjoying this though.

Not a patch on Willie Nelson though......"On the road again "

Only joking Notch, ignore me I've recently turned 30 am having a 1/3 life crisis. Good times ahead sir, good luck on your masters

I hate to say it but the best way to is: bono really grinds my gears!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair nuff pal. Just sayin...

You really are enjoying this eh? Good.

I used to love U2 when I was younger, then my tastes changed a lot due to life experience etc. I can admire what they do. I mean, some of their stuff is great. Running to Stand Still wouldn't play well in the Stadiums- but it's perfect in it's way. It's absolutely lovely. Then you get something like Elevation

A mole! Digging in a hole!

Now this is a great song. This is the era of U2 I most enjoyed.

I still think Pop is a good album.

Ahh that's better, the wombats on red button!!

Cari would you describe yourself as an U2 fanatic? Loads of boys in our school were. What is about U2 which attracts fanatics?

Also- I blame U2 for stadium rock. Just sayin'

Although I rate The Edge as a great player. U2. Can't quite make my mind up.

I used to be fanatical about them.

Prop - there's a "grinds my gears" thread on the off topic section if you really want to vent I can see how he irritates some, but I actually have a lot of respect for him.

Of great fecking tune.... we're One pub regz...

Notch Pop is rubbish! are you for real??!

Joshua tree and Achtung baby are where its at man!!!!

Murray will he repeat the last time against Gasket,if the score is the same aftert 2and a half sets,I doubt it

U2, Bad, Wembley, Band Aid, Nothing Better

Foo Fighters?Never played in Lannes;got a great r'n'r band lined up for the bash;bring your instruments

weather,just getting warmer/10pm,21 cels

Notch wrote:Also- I blame U2 for stadium rock. Just sayin'

Stadium rock was around in the 1970s long before U2 got out of Dublin actually Notch

Glas - I love them as a band and their music, but I'm not an obsessive who over-analyses their lyrics and things like some do. But all great artists have fanatics like that.

Rava wrote:Not a patch on Willie Nelson though......"On the road again "

That's reet.

He did the best version of "I will always kno...love you" and all.

Notch, hope you enjoy Donegal. Love the place myself. Rugged.

My Mrs. has just told me to shut up. Apparently as good as I am singing in the Church Choir, I soung nothing like Bono.

Foo Fighters are good. But not as good a Tribute band as U2 are Live, Seen both.

Difference is, U2 are the new Beatles/Stones. The Foos will disappear.

Notch - punk came about in late '75 in response to stadium rock stars. U2 formed in '78....just sayin!

Hear Hear Kiwi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aye, I suppose and they just happened to be the biggest thing on the planet in 1989.

ooh Irishman singing Jerusalem!

Yo! We're getting onto The Joshua Tree...one of the best albums ever made.

I love the Where The Streets intro.

Bono pal, the answer to all of your questions is no.

Disgrace that only about a 100 of the crowd knew Jerusalem though.

I mean I object to the song as an instrument of late British imperialism, but if you have an anthem to dislike, it might as well be a good one.

roddersm wrote:Notch Pop is rubbish! are you for real??!

Joshua tree and Achtung baby are where its at man!!!!

Yeah. I wouldn't listen to it much nowadays, but then I wouldn't listen to U2 that much now.

Kiwi- yeah but Queen were really good! I meant Stadium Rock as a genre, as opposed to bands that played Classic Rock in stadiums. They spawned many inferior imitators.

Queen just amde very good rock songs that would play as well in a pub as in front of thousands. Post U2, bands tried to make rock music for stadiums. Going for that 'epic' quality. Which is 95% of the time tired banality. Trying to write anthems, not rock songs.

Queen just wrote really good rock songs.

Oooh hes such a feicin politician... Jeruselem... turning into Where The Streets Have No Name.

Bono makes yet another statement.

Bless im.
