oooh you beat me to it!

mmm woman like a man! yay the irish god like man!

[Imperium]

excellent album

[Llama]

i am absolutely loving 'O' at the moment, what a cracking album,his music can be soft and mellow then he belts out this great powerful voice, i love it! i am overplaying cannonball and 'i remember' way too much though!

[mally]

Damn good album. I likee. :D

[theminority]

Oh I loveeeee Damien Rice! And he's amazing live, he really chats to the crowd at gigs and gets them involved! Love his music! :D

[ardid]

i love his album, too, and i am also overhearing it lately... his music is great, and how lucky you are to see him in concert... He is not playing a gig in spain :(

[tjej]

Oh I loveeeee Damien Rice! And he's amazing live, he really chats to the crowd at gigs and gets them involved! Love his music! :D


he's so amazing live! I saw him last year at manchester uni... and he switched all the lights off, turned off his mic and played hallelujah stood right infront of the audience! I saw him again on Valentines day, but the audience were so rude.. they kept talking and he didnt tell as many stories! The atmosphere was good, but it didnt have the same magic that was there at Glasto and in October.

[I_Like_Muse]

Anyone heard this guy's album?

My opinion on listening to the first 30 minutes or so of the album, boring. It didn't go anywhere. Just a pointless drone of a sound with no highs and only lows. I didn't feel it necessary to listen to the rest of the album.

[trinitron]

i felt the same way. a shame too, because i didn't hate the overall sound. though i didn't like how he made all the typical singer sounds, you know those annoying un-pitched sounds to let everyone know how great you think you are.....or something...like when people grunt on their releases-uh......i hate that.....

[tjej]

get some of his live tracks or unreleased stuff, there's an energy which you just don't get on his album...

www.damienrice.co.uk has a good selection

yeah I'd say hallelujah is one of his best live songs even though it's a cover. I was meant to see him again in feb but I couldn't but I'm glad because the crowd were really rude then too and some of the stories were f*ckin' shocking! I think now that he's becoming more popular the crowds are beginning to vary alot more and younger people are going to the gigs and just being complete nobs because they don't know what an intimate gig should be like....saps!...anyway that's just my opinion lol :rolleyes:

He seems more suited to the smaller more intimate venues... Wasn't that the reason he quit Juniper, because they were getting too popular? I was pretty gutted about the tossers who kept yelling stuff in feb... It wasn't too bad in October, because the heckles were funny and he had an amazing rapport with the audience that night. Ah well. He can come and play my village hall any time!

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

Just learned to play Cannonball.......
I'm sure you all wanted to know that.

[tjej]

*is proud*

[MassiveEgo]

He is the God of Pleasant and the Messiah of Lovely!

Awwwww, he's usually my sleeping music :)

Have you heard 'Then Go' or her cover of 'Be My Husband'? *swoons*

[easily iMUSEd]

Have they got full bootleg shows or just single tracks?

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

Bow down and worship the fingers..

MicroWaves: *praises fingers* I finally got round to buying a capo the other day! I Remember is now mine muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[tjej]

Nah they're unreleased, you can get them from the links I've posted. The bonus tracks are called Prague and Silent Night... rar! I'm such a groupie.

[Hoppipolla]

He's the first irish artist in a while that i think definately worth listening. O is an amazing album. Delicate is such a great song.

[Papa Lazarou]

I think he used to be in a band called Juniper with some of the members of the band who are now Bell X1.

He has a credit on 'Tongue' on the Bell X1 album which i might add is one of the best albums i've heard this year.

The rest of Juniper's Amazing new band Bell X1 : Here (http://www.irishmusiccentral.com/bellx1/index.html)

I would give anything to go to America right now and see him playing with the Frames!
I've only seen him on and irish tv show called Other Voices: Songs From A Room and the intimacy seemed absolutely incredible.

[Hoppipolla]

I can't get a BELL X1 song anywhere!

[LikelyLass]

Go to their official site bellx1.com or irishmusiccentral.com. Their songs are all there.
Or just buy their albums.

[Keys]

heroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :D

[YellowSphere]

I got O yesterday, and I have to say its the best record I've bought this year!

[theimpressiveclergyman]

I like what I've heard so far. That's only what Vh2 play though...

[tjej]

I got O yesterday, and I have to say its the best record I've bought this year!

It's the best record that's been written in a long time!

[music]

he is truely amazing
i just watched a couple live performances of cannonball and volcano and he is soooo good - i saw him live at that gig and it was one of my fave gigs ever!! totally amazing :) cant wait for his new album! its out soon i suppose yey!!

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

I finally got round to buying a capo the other day!

Ahh, a capo..
God's gift to the singer/songwriter.

[Ami]

[Ami]

I can't get a BELL X1 song anywhere!

[music]

his new mixed version of cannonball isnt that great compared to the original but yet its gettin loads of airplay

[tjej]

It's more like his live version, it's ok I guess.

[Betty_Spaghetti]

I've just bought 'O' and I love it. It's so beautiful.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

He's playing at the When Bush Comes To Shove protest concert today. I like him already. :D

[special_k]

I went to the sea with a friend and we listened to Damien Rice all the time, didn't know him but it's great!! his voice.. and the music is soo beautiful, also his lyrics.. really really good!! especially volcano and cannonball, adore those 2 songs!!

[Tangerine]

I love love love him and Lisa

He has alot of diversity. He can sing mellow songs but can be more aggressive as well [for example the second half of 'I Remember']

Loooooovvveee him =D

[JimJims]

Not meaning to be cocky or anytin but id heard of him when I got one of Junipers album of my sister (the members of who are now Bell X1). Not as good definitely. I then got "0" around Mid 2002 and was blown away. Volcano, Blowers Daughter and Cannonball are the best i think :)

[Keys]

what does lisa look like?? just curious :rolleyes:

[tjej]

http://www.eskimofriends.com/images/thumbnails/damienrice04.jpg

this is lisa

[cappo]

got into damien rice about 2 years ago before the he bacame big time so aint listened to his stuff in months - he is genius though and quality live - up there with tom mcrae on the current singer/songwriter stakes at the mo i reckon

[Imperium]

shes quite fine

[cappo]

plus.......... i hate the drums they have put over the new version of cannonball it sucks ass

[Keys]

ooooooooooooooooooo

[Tangerine]

I don't like the new version of Cannonball at all. I thought the original was just so simple and beautiful

But then they had to go radio-fy it >_>;

[Gem]

Cannonball just doesn't sound as good now.

I love I remember.

[tjej]

Cannonball just doesn't sound as good now.

I love I remember.

I'm going to be butchering I remember on Tuesday :D It is the best song on the album (next to Cold Water) it's Lisa.. she's got such a voice.

[Little Star]

OoOoOoOoO is such a little gem. It's so raw and passionate. I'm currently in love with 'I Remember'. It starts like a lullaby - then Damien crashes in and tears the place up with such fierce vocals.

[Little Star]

I agree. Lisa's voice is beautiful. It's so fragile. It compliments Damien's voice perfectly.

[tjej]

Have you heard it?
Its so good :LOL:

[tjej]

Have you heard it?
Its so good :LOL:

I think I may have done... Someone sent it to me last year, but it's on the pc at my dad's house *sobs*

[Vindaloo Curry]

Wow... damien rice is one of the most amazing bands ive heard in a long time.

I got the CD after hearing volcano and i fell in love with it straight away. The songs are so emotional and some of them make me shiver with amazement.

Its a wonderful album. Best one ive bought in a long time.

I strongly recommend them

[Kathryn]

Beautiful!! Listening to Cannonball at the moment :'(

Deffo gonna buy his album at the weekend!!

[Magdalena]

The album is rather pretty :happy:

[elby]

Does anybody have his b-sides album?

[Ribcage]

I went through a period of addiction to the O album and I made sure everyone knew it! The songs are ever so emotive. When I listen to particular songs like volcano, hallelujah I just get so woo incredible. The song that really really does it for me though has to be I remember. Its like two different songs in one. it starts all soft and gentle with the lady's beautiful voice expressing her sadness and then BANG out of nowhere there seems to be an eruption of noise but its definitely a good noise. Its in this song that I really appreciate his voice. Hearing his words and the way he sings it allows you to imagine the story hes telling. Just perfect, nothing else for it. I love it and always will because its a little perfect masterpiece. Just a shame that so many people find it dull when really its not.

[elby]

I really cannot understand how people can find Damian Rice dull, it just amazes me.
Have they no emotions?

[Kathryn]

I remember is so powerful and emotive. Lyrics are just amazing and the way the song changes blew me away!!

I need the album now. In no way is this dull - this is genius!!!

[Shingles]

Damien Rice is awesome.

[Asphyxiated]

Possibly the best album that I own! I love it to pieces :D I've kinda gone off Cannonball though. Heard it way too much!

[tjej]

I don't understand why they keep putting drums over the songs they release. It really spoils them.

[*Alice*]

k wat a perfect place to let my feelings out :D

weeeeeeeeeell...... basically , everyone loves this guy so much and i just find his music hilariously funny. other people say its deep etc .. i guess its just me... im happy finding it funny though.

anyone else?.... anyone? :$

[Keys]

Woo got a ticket today for the london gig... but boo thats the only problem :LOL: only managed to get one :indiff: how annoying, anyways thats on ebay :D whos going?

[Shingles]

Damn. Thats a shame. Enjoy the gig. Im sure it will be a blast

[tjej]

FINALLY! A new song, and it's really good :happy:

[Magdalena]

FINALLY! A new song, and it's really good :happy:
Schick ihn mir, schoene!

Where did you hear it?

[tjej]

Where did you hear it?
Radio 2 <3 they've played it loadslymuch

[whiteshadows]

tell me he's going to have a new album really soon. I need it

[uka]

I just got his album 2 days ago and omai, it's one great piece of art !

[uka]

his new album '9' is great too!!

[indierockerdude]

his new album '9' is great too!!

Rootless Trees...what a track:happy: ..its not often a track jumps out at me during the first listen, had to go back and play this one again before going to the next track...

sounds like a ruddy good album thus far.

[destructiveaesthetic]

tonight from someone I heard he covered a Radiohead song...is this true? and which one? and can I have an mp3? hehe.

[tjej]

Just stolen it off a flatmate. Sounds good so far. He's used a lot of stuff that's been knocking around since like 2003/4 such as Me, My Yoke and I... and 9 Crimes. Sounds a bit more polished than his last album.

I can't believe he's big enough for a two night run at the Apollo now though. I don't think he's suited to big gigs.

[uka]

GY2V8FETijc

wow wow wow!! :eek: great and funny performance!

[MatthewLeGrand]

O and 9 are both wonderful.
I hope I'll see him in concert soon.

[uka]

O and 9 are both wonderful.
I hope I'll see him in concert soon.

yeah me too, but that won't be for a few years cuz the Belgian gig is sold out and I was late :( :(

[-nicola-]

i like damiem rice, am going 2 see him at the end of the month, canny wait, :D

XxXxX

[uka]

[supermassivegirl]

Love Damien soo much.
Can't wait to see him on March 18th.
my favourite song from last album is 9 crimes, just wonderful, but the whole album is great.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Hmm. To go to Marley Park or not..

[uka]

omg, I can't believe Lisa Hannigan left the band

it's gonna be so different! :'(

[Coco Mademoiselle]

omg, I can't believe Lisa Hannigan left the band

it's gonna be so different! :'(

he can do a great job without her.

[Bunnyface]

I went to see him in Wolverhampton on thurs, I wasn't a massive fan of his before but he was really good live. He also came and stood next to me while the support act was on and no one else noticed it was him! I was too scared to speak to him though.

It did seem weird without Lisa Hannigan, but he did the high bits well!

[Ducky101]

" i know i've been a liar and i know i've been a fool. I know we didn't break it but i'm glad we broke the rules :happy:"

[LinMac]

Hmm. To go to Marley Park or not..

Yes, you must! I got my ticket a few days ago :D, few days after the Foo's gig too, ...... Im gonna be more broke than usual

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Yes, you must! I got my ticket a few days ago :D, few days after the Foo's gig too, ...... Im gonna be more broke than usual

Aaaand the Guillemots are supporting.. Which makes it unfortunate that all my friends loathe him. :LOL:

[LinMac]

:eek: Holy cow that was some gig in Marley Park yesterday. Knocked the socks off the Foo's on Wednesday anyway.
And I've Far too many pics too, so I'll just post the a few :D
