....at the Dublin show and broke your arm in three places, you made national headlines. They just told your story on the Seattle news broadcast.

you're famous, hope it was worth the pain.

    Was sound quality or any damage done that would effect possible boots for this show?

    Did he land directly on the soundboard? :shock:

    As long as he is okay. I imagine we might be kissing this bootleg goodbye depending on how the damage was to the soundboard and the recording being messed up. I hope otherwise but not getting my hopes up to high. How the hell did he fall to begin with? Good thing he survived such an incident too.

    The boots will probably sound way better cool ...

    they probably meant soundboard stage, which usualy have roofs over them.

    He lives close to me and works in a restaurant I eat in all the time! :P He seems to be okay now though, it wasn't too serious, thank god!
  • OceanInDisguise13OceanInDisguise13 Posts: 937
    LOL :D How the heck did he do that??? Must have gotten too excited and jumped right out of his pants onto the board....Possibly no bootleg for this show? I hope he's alright

  • John Briggs 2008John Briggs 2008 Posts: 1,024
    From what I read it wasn't on the soundboard itself. It shook the folks in the soundboard stage up a bit. I really hope he is well. From what I am hearing he is okay.
  • OkOk Posts: 2,146
    seriously I hope this guy is ok (sounds like he is)...but only on the porch would somebody start talking about possibly no boots?? hilarious. not gonna lie.
  • mdgsolomdgsolo Posts: 796
    Well, that explains the drum tone on the boots that everyone is complaining about...

    I could have told you that: "It's not a bad mix of the hi-hat, people. You don't have to be an audiophile to hear the dude from the second balcony bouncing off tracks four through fifteen. Just get a good pair of headphones and..."

    Depending on which hand he favours, and which arm he broke, he may not be able to pull for quite a while :lol:

    God you just gotta love the Irish. My heritige is Welsh, Scott and Irish :) All we need is to throw in a Guinness reference and we'd have just about all the stereotype boxes ticked.

    Seriously man, I hope you're ok, thanks for giving us something to laugh about.

    A number of years back, Robbie WIlliams was playing at Etihad stadium in Melbourne (where pj played last year) and someone fell from one of the stands and fucked himself up good and proper.

    Am I the only one that lost all sympathy for this guy when they got to this part??
    "It seemed as if he was playacting, got overexcited during the last song and wanted to jump down and be in the middle of the crowd," one source said.

    This happened the 3rd night in Philly too, and is ridiculous both times if you ask me- just imagine being the one he landed on
