Just realised today is 5 years to the day since i first witnessed a 54 gig at the Borderline in London.

A v hot night it was indeed - and rocking hard at a gig probably didnt help - but what a night it was


30 gigs and 5 year laters i feel the need to cast my mind back and rock out to some musica.


So what was your best gig ?


Im not sure i can tell - am i allowed 4 er 5 er 6 even

1) well the first was the best
2 ) bloodstock 01
3) With Blaze at the underworld in 2000
4) With saxon at the LA 2 - oct 2001
5) Nottingham this year as i havent seen them so long.
6) Club 85 hitchin - may 02 - as they got such an amazing reception!!!


hmm i could probably go on actually.

anyone care to follow up?

Well errr I have seen 54 once, nearly 2 years ago, at Studio 24 in Edinburgh, supporting Kill2This. They certainly were awesome, but I think I could be doing with more 54-ness

i have only seen 54 twice and my favourite had to be my first time i saw them at the studio in hartlepool. after watching 54 we just chilled with the guys and they where cool as fuck to be honest i dont think any 1 was even arsed with kill 2 this haha.

the hightlight of the night though was lakis phoning slasher who was pissed as a fart and stomped off coz he had an argument with his girlfriend and i have always lived by lakis's words that night "never let a girl spoil a metal gig" haha.

Lol aye, remember hearing about that - Bless Slasher. It's a good saying though!

Kittie bread - i entirely agree - defo need more 54ness!

Hmmmm, I've had a few experiences with 54 gigs, many of them not that good... my first live 54 show at Exeter with the rather sparse turnout, the Dokken support at Dudley later that week with the sound that was as muddy as the Bristol Channel, Rob playing what appeared to be a toy drumkit at the Emergenza gigs...

Best would probably be either TotalFest, which was an all round excellent night (lack of decent beer in the venue aside) or when they played the Fleece with K2T, hey it was the first time I didn't have to travel miles to see them

 

[madgirl]

Ive had several experiences that werent good too in some aspects normally the venue being tossers. But every gig has had its memorable moments and still rocked hard.

Must admit that exeter gig was a kick in the nads - oooh quelle surprise - the venue fucked up.

 

[CHaRLoTTe]

Ive seen 54 about 14 or 15 times now, and my best gigs would have to be:-


*the first ever one i went to, King's Head, Fulham, waaay back in Nov 2001

*the 3/4th April 2002, at the West one four, followed up by the Underworld!

*Another one at the King's Head, Fulham - Jan 2003, just because it has funny memories and i got a body part signed!!

*and Nottingham this year, because they sounded soo fucking amazing!!

they are just couple, each gig i have been to, rocked in its own various way!!

er the gig at the sports bar in slough the only ever metal gig ive been to where it took me 10 minutes to the venue!

also

supporting blaze at the underword
total fest with blaze

but theyve all rocked kinda like trying to pick your favourite shag

 

[madgirl]
