Fair fucks for taking those cunts on, cowards or no. Probably thought they were being proper punks.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 4:51pmYeah it was to be honest. But that gig felt like it had been chucked together at the last minute. Also mentioning the Pistols at Finsbury Park reminded me that was the last time I saw Iggy perform live. I'm envious of you going to see him and I hope your day is nothing less than fantastic.Silent Majority wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 4:46pmWhat a crap experience for what should have been a great day for you.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 4:06pmI went with a mate (Paul) who wore his West Ham football shirt.

I saw the Pistols play Crystal Palace. Fucking horrible venue. Great line up though.
This guy said to me after he had witnessed them going through the crowd punching people at random. Not a good start to the afternoon that was plagued by shit sound. When the Pistols came on and played their cover of Silver Machine the sound was just fading in and out across the place sounding crap. Not a patch on when they played in '96 at Finsbury Park.

Good for you Marky, don't take no shit from some fools all because of a shirt. I would have thrown the first punch. Good thing you took that "six boot salute" and turned it around dropping one of those goons and then they ran off like cowards.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 4:06pmI went with a mate (Paul) who wore his West Ham football shirt.

Yeah I'm not a violent guy and don't want to advocate those actions. But I'm more than capable of looking after myself and if you want to take me on then be prepared you might win but I'll be the best damned second you ever had. But my bugbear is cowards in groups with a few beers inside them.

Re: Gig of the year?
At Crystal Palace there were groups of thugs marauding through the crowd just attacking people randomly. They weren’t there for the music/atmosphere but to cause trouble and mug people. And, as you say Marky, the sound was shite as well… And yet Finsbury Park 96 was like a chilled out party!Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 4:06pmI went with a mate (Paul) who wore his West Ham football shirt.

He pointed out the guy to me so I grabbed the guy and asked him why he hit Paul and he said something like "crap shirt". At this point I lost my shit completely and smacked him one and we end up on the floor wrestling and trading blows. Unbeknownst to me his mates were there and they started to stamp on my head.
