Alright folks, i know there's people here that can't stand the darkness, but there's one's that love 'em too, and i'm one of them!
i went to their shows in Dublin on saturday night and Belfast on sunday, and they were bloody excellent! they're like bands like ac/dc and queen, even if you don't really like their records they are fantastic live!
as for support bands, The Ark, from Sweden were just a bit too "inept '80's glam band" for comfort, while Juliette and The Licks were very good, (especially in her incredibly tight leotard in belfast;)
I'm gonna try and attach some pictures, so bare with me...
