Fuckin’ Deadly!!! Oh wait. Meh.

A few months ago, I bemoaned the decision to decide to put Queens of the Stone Age on in the Ambassador, saying that the biggest, baddest, riffiest and rockiest rock band on the planet should be playing somewhere like the RDS because growd up rockers like me, who like nothing more than a bit of a 20,000 strong mosh when it all comes down to it, and who also like being able to flake out on a patch if grass in the sunshine after drinking too much Snakebite, didn’t have any massive stand alone outdoor gigs to attend this summer.

I’m not going to bother linking to it because I couldn’t be arsed. You can find it if you want to, but it was probably shit.

Well I’d like to thank whatever promotions company decided to listen to my whinge and get the boys back only 5 months later to play that very venue. Well done.

However, I’d also like to take this opportunity to call the very same promoters a bunch of retarded cuntbags from hell for making the headline act that day Linkin Fucking Park – the thirteen year old’s ‘Nu Metal’ band of choice a couple of years ago, and basically making what could have been an epic rock gig into one which will end in farce.

I hope the bastard company* gets their just desserts for this travesty and end up with that speccy gimp playing his keyboards to an empty arena once all the proper music fans hightail it out of the RDS at 8pm after QOTSA stop rocking the house and descend en masse to Fibbers and Bruxelles for some more snakebite, some real music and hopefully a bit of a bottle fight.

Music promoters. They make no sense.

*oh look, it’s MCD. There’s a surprise.
