Very rock and roll.
Nice idea though, Manchester in December? We'll all be freezing our nut's off.
I'll say hello to anyone except religous fundamentalists, psycho's or sex fiends. Although I am flexible on that last one.

Anywhere will do, it's only about 10-15 mins from the city centre, so just find the cheapest.

I'm in Manchester until 3 o clock anyway so I'll be early-ish. I might be eating chicken nuggets if that's a help.

11-30-2004, 06:45 AM

I'll be at the manchester gig all on my own :( Convinced my mate to come to the Wembley gig but as he's not a big fan (only owns the anthology) he doesn't want to see them twice in 2 days.
So I have a spare standing ticket if anyone wants it-just want to get back the money I paid for it, face face value+booking fee.

pm me if you're interested or wanna meet up

I find it strange that people are finding it difficult to get someone to go with.

I only know one other "real" beasties fan but there are about 12 of us going down due to the fact that most people "in the know" realise that these boys are cooler than the other side of Fonzies pillow!

Well, seeing as Standing Sold out the same day they were released (i think), it was hard to round up 12 mates who are willing to fork out £30 in one day ;)

I don't think they sold out on the day of release as my mate bought his a few days after me. Though what he did was buy in bulk on his CC then people gave him the money when they had it.
I doubt I'll see any of them there anyway as I'm bound to be too hyped up to take my eyes off the stage!

Yes mate there are. Im going with a few mates. Not as many as I originally thought so I have a few spare tickets.

They are in block 105, row Q. Im not sure how many, as I havent got in touch with everyone yet, but I have at least 4. If you are interested PM me or email me on lonytee@aol.com

Nice one.

That's exactly right, I only found out at short notice so you can't really organise shit like that, just jump straight in

It would be cool to meet up with fellow Beastie fans from Nottingham, I mean, sometimes I feel I'm the only person who is totally into them in a big way, sure you get the odd person know some of their stuff, but I've yet to met a hardcore fan like myself. So, after the gig, regular meet ups would be pretty cool. Question though....how old are the hardcore fans from Nottingham? (y)

Yeaaaaaah. The time has come!
I am sure that it will be a great gig!!!

Is it true that they have to play in UK, since they released ''Licenced to Ill'' in 1987?

p.s: could somebody post, after the gig, the playlist and some photos?

Fiiish

Does anyone know who the supporting act(s) are??????

bug1408

12-06-2004, 04:22 AM

Talib Kweli is supporting

They have played the UK since 1987 - that was the last time I saw them - at the infamous Liverpool riot. I'm hoping we'll get more than 3 tunes this time and won't end the evening by getting teargassed by the police!

I've always wanted to tell the BBoys that not everyone in the crowd that night hated them, just a bunch of knobheads who believed the crap written in the tabloids.

Gonna be wearing my best T-Shirt tonight, bought from the Ravenite Social Club on Mulberry Street NYC, the former headquarters of the Gotti crime family. Hope that's impressive enough!
