Lots of great memories over the years. Had some great moments playing there and a few terrible ones (Elwood's already mentioned the night our old band decided to split up after a particular shit effort from ourselves and the Aberdeen gig going public).
Capdown numerous times, Biffy Clyro, Hundred Reasons (the first time when they were unsigned and the crowd barely reached double figures and the 2nd time when it was mobbed and we supported), McLusky, Muse + Soulwax (brilliant, jawdropping gig). There's loads more but I can't remember them much a the moment.
Can't remember the band but I remember being there the night of the champions league final (think we were supporting actually) and most of the crowd (what few of us there were) spent more time watching the football on the screens at the back than we did watching the headline band play on the stage. They weren't very good anyway.
When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? ... The New Kids! "Hi we're the New Kids and we're so good and clean-cut..." "We're so clean cut!" Seig Heil! Heil! Heil! A good clean country... Heil! Heil! Heil! Fuck that! I want my rock stars dead! I want them to fucking play with one hand and put a gun in their other fucking hand and go "I hope you enjoy the show!" *Bang!* Yes! Yes! Play from your fucking heart!
