What did Shane say when he insulted me???

Saw Shane and The Popes at Mulcahy's, a small pub on Long Island. It was the last show of the US Spring tour of 2002. It would be Shane's last full show in the states until the DC show this March 9th, which I was also lucky enough to attend. Anyway the lads didn't hit the stage till 1am. Shane came out fired up on IISFFGWG. He was throwing equipment all around the stage, etc. He then settled in at the mic. As he sang, this crippled guy with a hook for a hand was holding up some kind of T-shirt with a Celtic design. It was white and green, and said something about a Long Island Rockaway Irish Society. The guy was standing right below the mic, just a few feet from Shane. When the song ended, the guy threw the shirt at Shane's feet as a gift. Shane started screaming and cussing at the guy, calling him every name in the book. Shane had a drum stick in his hand, and yelled 'YOUR HAND LOOKS LIKE A ?????????"wasn't sure what he said, but he fired the drum stick riight at the guys head. I was standing right behind the guy, and knew what was coming. I looked down at my feet, and there it was. I grabbed it, and now it sits proudly in my 8 month old son's mantle in his bedroom (his name happens to be Brendan Shane). I'm hoping some of the magic rubs off on him. Anyway, later that night I was right up at the mic, standing right below Shane. I yelled 'PLAY THE OLD MAIN DRAG!!!". Shane looked me right in the eyes for a long time (it seemed like an eternity), before he said "YOU'D HAVE BETTER LUCK AT ????????" I have no idea what he said at the end of the insult. Does anyone have a bootleg?? If not, does anyone want to guess what he said to me??? Anyway, I finally got to hear The Old Main Drag twice in DC, and it was great. Thanks Shane and The Pogues!!!

It was a Popes gig actually....sadly, they did not play Rainy Night In Soho for Abu (see Wikipedia).

If that's a guess, it's a good one. I never thought of the horse racing context. That show would have been just a few weeks after The Derby. In fact, it may have been on the same day as The Preakness, but right now my memory is a bit cloudy...anyway, thanks for the reply.

oh, now that I've read that I know what I will do at the Pogues gig. I'll scream random things until Shane get pissed off and throws something at me! I would really love that.

like "I have a cutler in the right eye, but who cares, it's Shane that has thrown it!"

If there were a prize for best-titled topic, "What did Shane say when he insulted me?" would win 1st 2nd and 3rd prize. Well done Seven Towers, you get to make it to 100 posts. :lol:

Thanks Phil-I feel like I just won a gold medal at the Olympics (for Ireland, of course). I could have never done it without Patrick Pearse and the steroids.
