Hi Guys,

Anyone at the dublin show last night?

anyone know what all the "booing" was about? some people tell me its to do with the keyboard guy that his name is "boon" or something other people say they were booing the keyboard guy cos he was new (unlikely) others say its because Eddie or someone on stage had a flag with a union jack on it, but i didnt see it.

anyone know the real answer?


the show rocked BTW!

    It's not booing it's a fans thing for Boom the keyboard player. Even Boom himself acknowledged it. If you watch the Madison Square Gardens DVD you'll hear the crowd doing the same! Thought everyone knew that!

    You'd be surprised by how many people do not know that. I went with 5 or 6 casual PJ fans and none of them knew it.

    The test will be at Leeds and Reading. There's no way all those thousands of people are going to know the keyboard player's name. So if you hear something like boos, they're boos....


    But personally, I'm sure there will be lots of cheers, though. :)

    Boom was fucking loving Dublin... at one stage he ducked below his keyboard and was peeking out from underneath while we were all shouting BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM :)

    He did say that, but he was taking the piss.. and we all pointed at Boom, and started doing it louder :) People do that at every show... nothing new for the band - they know it's not boos :)

    the thing is though, why would people stick around just to boo PJ? S'pose not everyone thinks like me!

    I knew the whole boo/Boom debate before the show...but i gotta say it did sound like the crowd was booing.Not saying they were,it just sounded that way.The band knows its not so thats what matters.Unreal gig and that organ solo Boomm did on Crazy Mary deserved his name being chanted
