Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Three weeks tomorrow for me and bb31 :dmonk: :dmonk: Still no sign of the tickets but I have managed to get the day off work :tu:

Had the most amazing dream last night about Anthony, hope dreams do come true :blush:

Just remembered I dreamt about Russ too :eek: :Sprint:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

still no tickets.....in panic mode!!!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Panic over, they've arrived at last. Less than 2 weeks to go now :tu:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

So who are chicks on speed?

I know nowt about them, do they have any top hits I might have heard on the radio?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Just booked a motel, At least we will have somewhere to crash in the evening.
Hopefully we will be able to have a tour of Cardiff shops etc before we go into the concert, maybe even the nightlife afterwards.
Although I'm not to sure about that, taking a few cans to the motel sounds safer to me.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

where abouts are you staying and how much is it? I have still not booked somewhere to stay:erm: Can't wait to see James brown. Went and checked out chicks on speed. :Yikes: total pants.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Try the travel lodge link in this thread.

Although the real local ones are booked, there is space further afield.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Any idea how long its going to last, as i'm thinking about catching the last train back to bristol which will be about 11 oclock.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I'd like to know that too.

Any idea what we can & cannot take in?
I.E. are we going to be alowed to take bottled water & food in with us without it being confiscated?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I'll let you know as we're going on Friday :D :D :D :dmonk:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Cheers Debs, Woo Hoo, only a week to go. Yay. It did say somnething on the tickets about what we can and can't bring in. Haven't got them on me at the mo, will have to look when i get home

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

oooh, only 6 left, should I get them & save the trip to Cardifff, would I be able to get back my £103 for the Cardiff ones?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Chicks on Speed.

http://www.epitonic.com/art/artists/...s_cover250.jpg

Looks like they have needed plenty of it too.

I downloaded thier free WMA file from Epitonic.com.

Well, I just hope that they are not on too long & we can get to some real music from old Mr Brown before Ant does his stuff.

Debs, you will have to let us know if they were any good? (I know the Chili's are going to be).
EDIT: OMG! wacky site, seems to have just been revamped too, maybe it was for this tour?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well, I'm at bb31's house atm and we are just getting ready to go, armed with umbrellas, wellies and flask cos it is throwing down here :cry: :cry: :cry:

We'll be back later to report unless I get a better offer from a certain Mr Kiedis :naughty:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ok, we went, we saw, we came home............

Awesome, Breathtaking, Fantastic. we could go on all night but those boys know how to rock big time.

Highlights were Under The Bridge, By The Way and Californication for me but every song was perfection.

Try to get there after the Chicks On Speed have been on, they were dire but James Brown proved why he is the Godfather of Soul

Chicks on Speed came on about 5, James Brown was about 7 and the Chili's about 9, it all finished about 10.45 with a mindblowing encore especially the cover songs they did.

Highlights included sheltering under the brolly with various different people (quite an ice breaker :naughty: ) bb31 falling off the chair, me feeling all faint (must have been the sight of Anthony) and us both moshing. To top it all they have quite the most spectular firework display at the end, trust us you won't be disappointed.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

For anyone who likes the Chilis the concert tomm night from Hyde Park is being broadcast on Radio 1 from 7 pm I think :tu: :dmonk:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Chair ??? god it was rough as shi!te down the front of the common group I.e. not the golden circle..... if u a big bloke and can stand ur ground fine, but if not, don't go there.... great concert and Chicks on Speed were ABSOLUTE rubbish.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Hmm, so its not just me that thinks the COS are naff eh...lol

Can we actualy turn up after they have been on & still get our seat?

I listened to the hyde park concert (well 1/2 of it as I fell asleep before it ended) but the wife was complaining that they were only on for an hour?

Still looking forward to the gig in Cardiff..

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

hehe who knows... but if u got seats, they are guaranteed no ? no, they were on about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.......

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

oh when COS boo very loudly all the time non stop, if ur lucky, they'll leave early heheh...

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Might just do that :D

Mrs Bini keeps going on about it being better to have "Ash" touring with them instead, they did elsewhere.

Its all Ants fault, he got a free t-shirt from them so decide to repay the gift...lol

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

BTW, any news on whats banned from being taken in?

I want to take my own food/drink as the venue stuff all over the world is usually overpriced junk.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

We weren't allowed to take in jack sprat...... so how the hell were plastics 500ml bottles still thrown inside, i don't know :p:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

concerts never let you take in drink.... i guess it's how the venue makes a few extra hundred quid :erm:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Lol, we took a flask in with us no problem

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I shall be trying to take in water etc, claiming that I'm on a special diet if anyone tries to take them away :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

The tickets say nothing bigger than 500ml bottles and it has to be plastic.

I bought a 750ml water bottle in tescos and got it in no problem. A friend of mine wore baggy trousers and managed to sneak in four beer bottles (plastic) by hiding them in her socks, haha.

It was a truly awesome gig on saturday though. CoS were pretty dire but I don't think they deserved the reception they got. James Brown was smooth, his band was awesome too. Chilies rocked: highlights were the intro to Can't Stop, the various jams with Flea and AK, Under the Bridge, My Lovely Man and Under the Bridge, but it was all so good.

Shame about the Radio 1 thing tho, I thought it was going to be the whole gig, not just an hour of it. I've recorded it so at least I've got the interviews and the songs that were in that hour. It's all good...

Hope those that went yesterday / are going over the next week have an awesome time

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

So that the flask that hit my head :p:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

500ml is no problem, just need to have 2 each :D

I wonder what the response will be to a flying scotch egg or sausage roll ?? lol.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Do what the idiots at Hyde Park did, get up on someone's shoulders and say "come on you mofo's give me what u got" and expect 300 bottles in 30 secs :D :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well, if your thirsty, then hopefully you will get some with some drink in :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Not if it filled with **** :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Did that in Manchester, but the Chillis told us off

To be fair, we did cheer them once... when they announced 'this is our last song' ;)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Hmm, what if we start a mexican back turn?
Its like a wave but you all just turn around, put your hands over your ears & sing "la-la-la"... :D

Edit: Last post till I go, Cardiff here I come..

Now where did I put those earplugs...

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Hahahaha that was a friend of mine.. he thought it would be amusing
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Anyone go tonight then to Cardiff ???

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I did, and i thought i was absoltly brilliant. Look at Desy's description as tha's exactly the way it happened

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I did too. :D

And as expected the COS were absolutely crap! :(
A German 80's synthi pop band that went on about communism etc.
Now Anthony may like to give new bands a chance but at least he could choose one that had one of the following qualities:
1) can sing.
2) looks good.
3) can play musical instruments.
4) currently in this year not thinking back 20...

And they had neither.

James Brown was much better, although you could tell his age was having an effect on his music as he let his band do most of the entertaining while he kept taking a back seat.

The Chili's were excellent, the crowd were roaring with excitement every time they started a track.

Unfortunately, IMO the mic/PA system was a bit naff & Anthony's words were very hard to decipher, leaving us to go off what we knew they should be from the music listened to.

After 4+ hours waiting for them, my back was giving me agony & the big fat bloke behind me kept sticking his sodding knee in my back. :mad:

But the wife enjoyed it, which was what counted as it was for her that we went.

Next time, I think we will stick to Manchester, Cardiff was too long a drive.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I was at Cardiff the Chili's were amazing, James Brown was also great. I am still buzzing. Also first time I have been to Wales. What a great City Cardiff is. Already planning a weekend down there. We stayed at a camp site near the stadium right next to a cricket ground.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

How does the new song go?

"Caaarrrddiiffff,
Carrddifff,

Carrrdifff,

CARDIFF
CARDIFF
CARDIFF!!!"
:D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Debsy et al., some good news for you :)

Red Hot Chili Peppers CD
 

There a 2 CD album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers aptly named " Live in Hyde Park " for release on 26th July .... whoo hooo

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers CD
 

YAY was at the concert.... what a wicked day... less mentioned about chiks on speed the better...

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Was at hyde park 20/6 what a wicked night.... always feel its a shame that we have so little respect as to start hurling abuse and projectiles at a stage full of girls... admitedly they were rubbish... but they are human to!

RHCP's fault for booking such a strange band to support them really not what the RHCP fanbase would listen to..

Cant wait for the album to come out!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

A have a few photos of Cardiff gig some did not come out so good though.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers CD
 

Could someone merge this with the other RHCP thread, please.

One is *quite* enough! :)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers CD
 

Yes. :)

Re: [merged] Red Hot Chili Peppers
 

Have got the new live double album (thank you :kiss: ) and it's fantastic, for anyone who went to any of the concerts you MUST get it :tu:

Re: [merged] Red Hot Chili Peppers
 

I was at Cardiff and bought the Album the day was released. Brilliant reminder of the night (I know is not the same gig but track listing is nearly the same). The only thing that would be better than the album would be a DVD of any of the dates.

Re: [merged] Red Hot Chili Peppers
 

They were videoing the event at Cardiff, it would be good to see some of that come out somewhere.
