The Medusa Fora

By Kevin Mc:
<blockquote>my mate swing went to one of the show in belfast awhile ago. shane arrived 15 minutes before closing time and the first tune he dropped was a rebel song by 'the wolfe tones'. there was a mini riot and, according to swing, the boul shane was hit over the head with an empty jack daniels bottle that had been on a table as a candle holder. anyway, the row subsided and the management allowed shane to give it another go on the turntables. at which point shane starts spinning...the wolfe tones, and you can guess what happens next...</blockquote>

Haha only Shane

excellent

Fucking classic.


Cheers Mac.

sorry to disappoint but that story is complete bollox.

the gig was at the front page in belfast in 2003.shane sat at the bar all night chatting and signing autographs etc...and was in great form.

the place was jammed with people and shane came on around 12 to paradise city by guns and roses.he selected the tracks for bp fallon to play.

he didnt play the wolfe tones at all and there was no mini riot.some dick tried to jump the stage and landed on the decks knocking the whole system out...end of gig.the bottle part is correct...some one did throw a smirnoff bottle randomly and it just missed shane.i think security got the guy.i know this as i was beside shane on stage during his set.he took it in good humour as did bp fallon who was trying to protect his gear.

this is what shane played

A legend-killer

OK, I'll try to reanimate it performing artificial respiration, its mouth-to- mouth version: there was another DD in Belfast. On 25 of Aug, 2005. Were you beside Shane that time too?

sorry mate,didnt mean to come over so aggressive.

just get annoyed when the truth isnt told about these things,and people jump on the fiction side of the story.

class site you have too by the way.

ha ha ha

Now you've said that MacRua will love you forever (in a manly way of course)

It is a class site and I think we should start a thread about how good Maccers site is!

HAIL KING MACRUA!



(am I going a bit far? um ok.. I'll get me coat)

Hey, Mick! it was not agressive, it was ..erm.. disabusing
Harsh truth is lethal for such delicate creations as myths. It's not your fault. Such is nature of life. I would qualify it as involuntary manslaughter or homicide by misadventure.
Ok let's bury the story. It was rather lovely (any fiction usually is). Where is a spade?

P.S. thanks for commendation

P.P.S. Miss Walshy, you mean I owe him a kiss?

With tongues?

in cheeks, perhaps
