Fuck off, you fucking crap hipster cunts. I don't wish this band success. They are an embarrassment... fucking appalling :vomit:

I'm going to listen to some real fucking tunes to cleanse my ears. Mystifier should do the trick. Man, that was painful going. I was ashamed in case the KGB happened to have bugged my gaff and heard me listening to it. Suicide pill stuff. Morto.
Andy, in case you missed it, plenty of people are still living with their auld wans, there's a massive housing crisis. Can't imagine money from streaming would get you much of a gaff in Dublin these days

Haha, yeah that's it. He's not a pretentious eejit spouting vapid poetry and pretend pain, he's a struggling artiste who can't get his foot on the property ladder, or even rent a flat in town despite headlining Slane two nights in a row and being world famous. He's not fuckin working the deli at Centra!

Fontaines Dire Cunts   :vomit:

Do you know what I am, after listening to that shite... I'm OFFENDED! That's how awful that dude's "singing" is. I'm deeply, deeply offended. I'm even a bit triggered. I'm going to have to find some tenuous link to his Nazi past and get him BANNED!

I hear he has a copy of Mein Kampf written in the style of Beckett. But you didn't hear it from me 🤫





The accent is a parody though, he was in numerous other bands and is on his 3rd or 4th voice, was in an emo band like and one band that was like wannabe strokes, its grand it just makes what he is at now a lot more obviously fake

Most musicians go through this, forming your first few bands and then finding something that fits. Plus Fontaines were formed in college he was in his late teens/early twenties at most, quite young still and then to go to the success they've had.

I agree with your point on the first album, a lot of the audience did seem on the older side. They got a bit of an image revamp around Skinty Fia, plus post covid the audience did seem a bit younger

Dustin the cunt turkey.
Haha I was literally typing that he sounds like dustin the turkey when you posted that  :laugh:

They are right to ride the wave as long as they can but it's still shit.

What little I've heard of Fonatines has not left me curious to hear more, so I won't be going to Slane for this.

But as an aside, are there any other Irish bands ye think would be suitable to headline Slane? And I'm not just talking Spotify numbers or GAA metrics here  :laugh:
