I saw so many pictures on facebook of people at the gig. It was just a sea of people holding up their iPhones to prove they were there. Very sad. Put the damn phone down and start dancing!
The videos they all take with their phones are always so GOOD too, aren't they?
Take a couple of photos if you like, then put your phone away and enjoy the performance. Some of these folk must almost NEED their shit video to remind themselves that they actually WERE there, because they've mostly missed it all first time.
More people dancing outside. I was in line with the front door and could see the stage clearly, probably a lot closer than at a stadium gig. Won't matter in a couple of years when a Worthing band obliterate them!

Sounds like a good night, even for those stood outside. Fair play.

I don't mind people taking their phones out and taking one or two snaps, it's the people who watch the gig through their iphone screens that piss me off.
Anyway, here's mine, right on the barrier!

Great work Mr Smggles. It'll be years and years before those Fudge Fighters fans who failed to get a ticket will recover from this one, as anyone familiar with the old 'scream in the head' will know:
2019: Fudge Fighter fan sitting on a train on the way to work and suddenly: 'Arrrrrgh that secret Hot Shits gig I missed out on in 2014'' drops into the head from nowhere.
2026: Fudge Fighter fan on a cruise round the Norwegian Fjords and suddenly: 'Arrrrrrrgh that secret..... etc.

I've heard people boast of being able to play guitar standing on their heads...seems he actually can!
Couple of mine. There were people filming the whole thing through their phones though, which was chuffing annoying.
Not as annoying as the coked-up cretins I was next to at the start of the gig who just kept shouting "hello Dave" every 10 seconds, whilst kicking and punching everyone around them.

Bear with me here please I was with my teenage daughters but when I went to Maroon 5 some bloke literally filmed the whole thing with his ipad. I mean the whole thing. Ridiculous.

My mate went down and enjoyed it from the outside last night - said the set they played was incredible. The second time they've played the C2, apparently it was just as good as the last time.

Why don't you tell everyone, just one more time, what you think of the foo fighters!?
Okay, I think they are the musical equivalent of Lynx shower gel and the idea of scrabbling around on the internet trying to get tickets for them like Gazza running to a car accident to see grab the last liver let alone actually going and standing outside the venue because you couldn't get a ticket is all rather sad.
Shit as they are though, if you like them, I hope you enjoyed it.

Ha I didn't go, I was tempted to cycle down there to get a taste of it all, but ended up working while watching an old series of 24 on Netflix - now that is sad!
I was in Brighton anyway and often go for a seaside stroll with the missus after a meal. Wouldn't go down specially, but it was interesting to see.
I ALMOST like the Foo Fighters. I want to like them. I feel like they want to be a LOT heavier than they are, and they can never be heavy, thanks to their cheesy bass player who is as rock and roll as my cat, Pushkin. Queens of the Stoneage is their cooler, better older brother.

If I lived locally I would have gone down to listen outside but as I live too far away for it to be worthwhile I didn't. I love the Foos and their live shows are always brilliant. They are at home in a small venue like the C2 or at Wembley Stadium, They just play bloody good rock music, they are nice guys and enjoy what they do.
