Been a while since I seen craic like this. Looks like he's off his bin

From the thread title I thought he'd put his face too close to the radiator.

He's always been an insufferable prick.

Farrell's wife reckons it's everyone else's fault 

Earlier on Saturday, Farrell's wife Etty Lau Farrell provided a "first person account" of what happened during the Boston concert, writing in an Instagram post that there had been "a lot of tension and animosity between the members" and the "dynamite was lit" that night.

She went on to say that the altercation had been a culmination of Perry's "mounting" frustration due to the "extremely loud" volume of the band's playing, and that her husband felt that "his voice was being drowned out by the band."

"Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night," she explained. "But when the audience in the first row started complaining [to] Perry, cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn't hear him, Perry lost it."

"The band started the song 'Ocean [Size]' before Perry was ready and did the count off," Etty continued. "The stage volume was so loud at that point, that Perry couldn't hear [past] the boom and the vibration of the instruments and by the end of the song, he wasn't singing, he was screaming just to be heard."

Etty claimed that while Navarro had tried to keep her husband "at arm's length to de-escalate the situation," bassist Eric Avery "put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times." She said a crew member was able to pull Avery away, and he "walked off to the front of the stage to apologize to [the] audience for the show ending early."

"Dave still looked handsome and cool in the middle of a fight," Etty wrote. "Perry was a crazed beast for the next half an hour — he finally did not calm down, but did break down and cried and cried.

"Eric, well he either didn't understand what de-escalation meant or took advantage of the situation and got in a few cheap shots on Perry," she added.

"Dave still looked handsome and cool in the middle of a fight,"

Such a bizarre thing to say. Am I missing something?

[The Great Cull]

Oh she's riding him. Perry knows... hence the tantrum 

[Eoin McLove]

It's that it? Kind of sounds like it.

[Circlepit]

When a crock of shit explanation like that comes out it makes it worse!
Surely yerman could have asked for more of himself in the monitors instead of that tantrum.
The fact he looked higher than a kite had probably no bearing on it.

A bit more of the lead up to it:

He's well out of it, and I don't think the rest of the band drowning him out was a bad thing, from the sound of this.

[Bürggermeister]

It's total bullshit. He's using in-ear monitors

First, he wouldn't have heard a fucking word from the crowd because they're moulded to his ears to block out external sound and, second, he has his own mix in his ears, he could have everyone else turned down if he wanted. I'd say it's more that his voice sounds shot, he can hear it too and, perhaps, he needs someone to blame for it.

More stuff coming out now, Farrell missing cues, singing verses over solos, that kind of thing. Dickhead.

Ah I dunno lads it's a bit rock and roll in a fairly sterile time for it. Yeah he looks like a wankstain and reportedly is one but I do enjoy a good old high as a kite frontman as a sort of throwback to simpler times.

Of course being this age and thinking of it being a local lad I'd be pure disgusted with him, so there is that as well

He also looks like he wouldn't bate snow off a rope so it was hardly a big deal either
