I would not really do that mind.

just the thought of it

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Went to a Commodores gig in 79 at a cow shed in Stafford. Terrible acoustics.

Also the Toyota Center in Houston - loads of gigs but again, terrible acoustics .

 

[Old Prestonian]

The acoustics at Whitley Bay ice rink were unbelievable in terms of shitness and the pigeons flying around did little to assist the general ambience.

 

[MunkyHeed]

Harold Shipmans surgery.

 

[Mantobar]

Deffo depends whose. Worse ones buzzcocks last time and worst ever killing joke

The Academy varies wildly for sound, it just depends who's running the set up. War on Drugs there a few years back was one of the best gigs I've been to for sound quality.

I think the Roundhouse is abysmal unless you're in that inner ring. You feel like you're not even at the gig. Minor issue but there's a chronic lack of toilets anarl for a venue of that size.

Think Tank in Newcastle can fuck off anarl, most expensive drink prices on the planet the absolute bandits.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Wembley Arena in the 90s was a bit shit in the 90s, although Metallica in the round there on the Black Album tour was pretty good.

 

[citybythesea]

Newcastle Academy.

Worst. Sound system. Ever.

There's something about the building structure that makes the sound enclose around the stage, but it sounds dreadful at the back. It's an awful venue

 

[Reptilia]

Riverside in Newcastle.

Academy in Newcastle


I liked the Empire when I went there in 95...

Riverside is a great little venue imo.

 

[Hackedbrain]

Earls court

 

[jackpunch]

Riverside is a great little venue imo.

Played there yonks ago with a bloke who was supporting Martin Stephenson. Cant remember what he was called

 

[yorkyexile]

The Corn Exchange in Leeds was f***ing shit for acoustics. I went down there to see Graeme Park in the early 90's and the sound quality destroyed the night. The ceiling is that high and place that big, that echo caused you to hear the songs twice over in a split second.


I would catch the drops like sweet rain drops falling onto the end of my tongue, imagining evaporated pussy juice.

big round and high, the sound just either reverberates that much it becomes muffled or just goes straight up to the rafter

It was awful, sound clash all owa.

 

[yorkyexile]

yeah. Mind there is a canny Martin stockist in there now, need a second mortgage to look mind but canny never the less

 

[Safc88]

On the flip side Brixton academy is brilliant for a larger venue

One of the best venues brixton! It's even on a slope

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Wembley Stadium. If you're sat in the wrong place, you'll hear the song and its echo.

 

[the walrus]

Wembley Arena in the 90s was a bit shit in the 90s, although Metallica in the round there on the Black Album tour was pretty good.

In the 90's?

Used to love it back in the day, but they destroyed it when they took the upstairs out.

I went to see a band I've since forgot with one of my pals who gave me a free ticket the day of the gig, I thought atleast I'll have a decent drink.

Well I certainly had a decent drink as after walking into the venue I have no recollection of the entire evening and as my friend informed me I ended up slumped on a couch in the hop and cleaver absolutely spannered and unable to put any sort of speech together.

 

[Latka Gravas]

Barmston club concert room, ower many people talking while the turn was on.

 

[Shusssh]

Any tube station with a busker... although thinking about it it might just be the buskers.

 

[Stray Cat]

Went to a Commodores gig in 79 at a cow shed in Stafford. Terrible acoustics.

Also the Toyota Center in Houston - loads of gigs but again, terrible acoustics .

Bingley Hall?
