Absolutely thunderous announcement. Haven't seen them in nearly a quarter of a century.
Will go to both shows... Nice one H...
This has made my day. Absolutely unreal, one of my all time favourites, missed every chance I had to see them but by fuck I won't miss this.
Ya they were lethal recently at Damnation. Won't be missing this.
One of my bucket list bands, gonna try and get to this.
Savage. Can't wait for this
Damn!
I have Streetcleaner on vinyl, but haven't listened to much else. Guess I'll need to get caught up.
Ticket nabbed. Some nice gigs this year for me, but this'll be a highlight.
Ticket bought
Looking forward to this
Have only seen Broadrick live when playing as JK Flesh, and questing with Sunn O)))
I need the Flesh
Tickets purchased. Pity it's still almost 10 months away but shure lukkit....
It'll not be long coming around anyway I suppose...
Anybody else furious about the way ticket master are doing things with e tickets these days? I'd rather have a psysical ticket
It gives the option of posting out a ticket, or at least it did when I was buying. Costs more (of course it does) but if you really wanted a physical ticket...
I can't afford the ticket til payday at the end of the month. Really hope to fuck it doesn't get sold out first as this is one I'd be devastated to miss
Was shitting myself I'd miss out, thankfully tickets purchased. Cannot wait for this!
Change of venue, to Opium on Wexford St.
Never been there (or even heard of the place TBH), is it bigger or smaller? I can only assume it's bigger, I'd imagine the demand for this is high.
Edit: was that the Mean Fiddler/Village in years past?

Yep, it was.
Ah so the village is where Mgla is on Saturday. Thought it was some new venue never liked the village hopefully the layout has changed but most likely it hasn't,

Scored tickets for this lately. Fucking delighted to the extent I paid the extra for the physical tickets so I can keep the stubs. Got em delivered in about 3 days as well.
Might bump into a few of you in the flesh at this
Not long now. Haven't been to anything since bloody Kisses in the kasbah about 2 years ago. Many of ye going? I'm going to fry the heads off every one of you I meet lol we should do mw name tags so we know who to avoid

I am but you knew that. I don't know if a lot of MW lads here are going that you'd know but there's a good few of us heading up from Limerick by the looks of it. Thank fuck for the grewn bus. I was looking for lockers in town I could store my cans in until the way home but such a thing doesn't exist.
Heading myself alright, looking forward to it.

Are these Irish shows part of a tour?
They played Damnation on the weekend but doesn't seem like it's part of anything wider. They were a late addition to Damnation too, I think MDB or someone pulled out and they did a Streetcleaner set with maybe 4-6 weeks notice.

I don't think so
This is all I found:
Upcoming concerts (4)

Opium
Nov12
Belfast, UK
The Limelight 2
Jan20 2023
London, UK
229
Jan21 2023

And those London dates are rescheduled from the summer. I think they're working on an album so I wouldn't expect many more dates 'til festival season next year.

Where's good for a few scoops before this?
Whelan's next door is probably the handiest. I haven't been in it since the late '90s so I couldn't tell you whether it's a decent spot these days or not, Cassidy's across the road also used to be OK.
Fair looking forward to this, gave the last while not even able to drink over various illnesses so if any of ye see me there I will be poisoned
Ye, proper buzzing for this. Only saw Godflesh once before, with DRI and Goatsnake in London, had to leave before they finished to get my bus home.

Those dates were all I could find as well. Just wanted to see a setlist as I only know Streetcleaner so not sure if it worth going or not. Already saw them once before in 2015.
Any chance for stage times lads ?
Was wondering about that myself. Also, is the entrance to Opium still around the back or have they gone back to the door/stairs beside Whelan's?
Times are up on Facebook. Don't have FB on my phone so can't post it right now here.

Have em on here. Not bad
Thought I was going to have to have the worst night of my life after losing the physical tickets. Crisis averted thank fuck
Is there no merch at this?
I'm in a white adidas zip if anyone wants to say Howya
Just saw this, sorry, I was the fat guy in the Kraftwerk T-shirt.
No merch, odd that. I took cash out if the machine for it an' all.
Deadly gig though, intense. Loud as fuck for just two lads, it was almost psychedelic once I let it just wash over me.
Support were alright, yer man's vocals were a bit screamo but I'd give them a listen.

Pity I didn't get to buy you a pint man. Fuckin unreal gig
Pint o' gin so, next time. 😉
Aye, was great. Jammed too, the place has gotten a lot smaller since I was there last.

Last time I was in there was for Enslaved. Tidy little venue and suited
Bit shit there was no merch, but the show was great.
Great gig
Sound was fairly immense last night
I was well impressed with G. C. Green's bass sound - fairly hammering
Justin was in flying form
It was my first time in Opium - a nice tidy venue
The setlist was spot on
Love Is a Dog From Hell
Shut Me Down
Post Self
Pulp
Streetcleaner
Veins
Weak Flesh
Like Rats
Predominance
Crush My Soul
Monotremata
Great setlist alright. A playlist of those songs comes in at just over an hour, but I reckon you could add 10-15 mins.' worth of feedback to that for last night.
Godflesh were great all right that good I am strongly considering going to tonights show. I forgot as well how much heavier the songs sound live than on CD.
Surprised to see all the positive comments about the village for me it has always been the worst venue in Dublin. Whoever designed the layout should be shot. Entrance right in the middle of the venue so if it's packed like last night even getting in through the door is a challenge and toilets up at the front of the stage so unless you wanna fight your way through the crowd no piss.
Phones at gigs never bothered me too much but last night some fella near the entrance had his phone up every two minutes taking videos fuck off. Fair enough if someone wants to take 1 or 2 videos during the show but not every 2 mins and the same guy also had a bag on his bag which is always great for other people in a packed venue didn't have the courtesy to check it in.
Yes no merch was the same for the Exploited shows back in September. Does the band even have its own merch though I never them selling items online personally so maybe just gets handled by the label which would mean unless they are on a tour they won't have anything.
Thought that was smashing stuff altogether. Great gig didn't let me down in the slightest

Where you standing near the entrance and you started getting all excited when they played Streetcleaner? I think I saw you.
Crowd wise that is one of the oldest crowds I have ever seen at a show and the least amount of people wearing bands shirts. Most people looked they were ready to head to the nightclub afterwards. Everyone seemed to be really into Godflesh.
Every show I have been to this year with the exception of one has had great turnouts. I wonder is this because of what went on over the last two years or is live music of this type finally popular again in Ireland.

Fair few moustaches at it alright, but every head was bobbing for most of it. They're such an odd band that they don't just draw a metal crowd, I suppose. I'd imagine a lot of hippety-hop heads would be into them, given that their beats have always had that edge to them. Saw a Dälek T-shirt or two there last night, for instance.
What's the capacity of the venue, couldn't have been more than about 500- 600 in it?

That was probably me. I was buzzing fucking hard off it

I hadn't planned on going to this because I was only familiar with Streetcleaner. Had recently listened to Pure a couple of times and randomly remembered about the gig last night.
Ended up listening to the setlist a few times in preparation and buying a ticket. Glad I did - tremendous live sound.
Tremendous is a good word for it. So fuckin heavy
Still not right after this. Amazing gig, ridiculously heavy, great crowd, excellent set, savage sound. Zero complaints. Can't wait to see them again if I get the chance. I got incredibly drunk and sprained my ankle running from Ryan's next door after the gig to make the bus to Limerick on time.
Absolutely delighted to finally see one of my favourites, after over two decades of listening to them.

I love this and have sent it to many people. You were in flying form lol
Quote from: Jward on November 12, 2022, 11:39:49 AMI was well impressed with G. C. Green's bass sound - fairly hammering
I was right at his feet for the whole set, absolutely cruel bass tone, it was class. All he had on stage for it pedal wise was a HM2 and a tuner.
Talked to JKB for about 30 secs after the set, he seemed like he enjoyed himself.
This lad (one of you, I think?) took some mighty photos on the night, mainly of Broadrick:

Great pics there altogether. Can't say enough good things about that gig.

Limmys father strikes again
Only starting to feel fresh now, old age catching up. Amazing gig, very much impressed with the sound. Dissapointed on the merch front but minor gripe.

They are great shots
Very tasty/talented
Nah, Ray doesn't post here. Used to post as thecompost on MI.
Savage gig, 10+ years since I last saw Godflesh. Real testament to it's not what you play it's how you play it. Sounded like the end of the world.
