      Worked in the concert promotions business,only as local crew through alot of the 90's, the 90's was like a mini revival of the 60's music wise,concerts became good again,a few good gigging bands around,some of those top bands you take them out of the studio put them on a stage and they just wither and die,a good front man and band is a thing of beauty 🍀

    • @lilRadawg
      @lilRadawg Před 3 lety +14

      Working in an Irish radio industry for over 5 years now, I can tell you that Irish broadcasters must only or at least play 20 % of Irish music per hour by law (B.A.I) . Having said that an hour of Radio is filled up with 10 minutes of commercials, sometimes pushing the boundaries up to 12 in seasonal periods and prime time. Also the remainder of that hour is divided between DJs/ radio presenters talk, radio promotions/ Jingles / features/ competition etc...... so technically we're talking about maybe 30- 35 min of music if you're lucky per hour.. An interesting point to make is that "ALMOST" every commercial radio playlist has to have an equal rotation rule.. which means if you play a song or a band at a specific time.. the automation prevents that band/song to repeat itself within few days for it to give a chance to other similar artist in that Genre or category of music.. unless it is a charting song, which is of course by definition going to be promoted and played to death for weeks on 3- 4 times a day. There is a lot of bands out there fighting for radio play and Royalties... but with 20% per hour of Irish music (Meaning 2 songs most likely), and considering the amount of music,: modern or classics out there .... there is simply no money to be made by any Irish artist ...
      So to summarize, it is impossible, even for a legendary successful Artist, to make a substantial Royalty profit and make a descent living out of it. On an occasion "one of their classic song " that of which it was a hit, or is popular amongst listeners, might be played every now and then ... other than that.. unfortunately they are commercially doomed ..

    From Dublin but living in Manchester over 20 years now playing Aslan all day, one of the best bands I've ever seen. My 15 year old son keeps asking me what song was that and so has downloaded Aslan on his Spotify even though I've been playing them for years he just said I really never paid attention until today because of asking what was it like at his concerts, I just said son just watch this and then Crazy World video.For the whole day he just asked questions about Alsan and it just brought back so much memories telling my son the whole history of Christy and Aslan. RIP, your now pain free. 😢☘️🍀

    These are the hands of a tired man
    This is the old man's shroud
    These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
    Staring at the maddening crowd
    This is the face of a teenage mother
    This is the child she bears
    This is the soul of her broken lover
    Searching for the smiles they shared
    These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
    And in his book of punished love
    You see his eyes, you see no surprise
    Waiting for a lie that's true
    Everybody hits you with this feeling
    Nobody seems to understand
    Yeah you stop, you look
    You're searching for the meaning
    (Wasting your life away)
    These are the dreams of a sleeping father
    And in his long lost days
    He sees a child
    He sees his eyes
    Waiting for the price he's paid
    These are the tears of a fallen idol
    And in his smile of shattered love
    You see his eyes
    You see no surprise
    You just see lights then realise
    Everybody hits you with this feeling
    Nobody seems to understand
    Yeah you stop, you look
    You're searching for the meaning
    (Wasting your life away)
    Oh here with you
    There's no one here like you
    And no one moves like you
    Nobody touches like you
    Everybody hits you with this feeling
    Nobody seems to understand
    Yeah you stop, you look
    You're searching for the meaning
    Everybody hits you with this feeling
    Nobody seems to understand
    Yeah you stop, you look
    You're searching for the meaning
    Everybody hits you
    And everybody knocks you down
    You stop you look you're searching, you stop you look you're searching
    Everybody hits you
    And everybody knocks you down
    Everybody hits you
    And everybody knocks you down

    Read Christy's autobiography last year (the best autobiography I've ever read) he went through so much and still was salt of the earth dubliner, a gent. RIP Christy, there will never be another voice like yours. Love this video, what stage presence and control he had over a audience 💙

    When I moved back to Dublin in the 90’s having been gone for many years, my brother in law David brought me to see Aslan at the ‘noggin inn. I had never heard of them but was blown away by how good they were and by what a showman and brilliant singer Christy was! A fan for ever after that, and by the way, U2’s tribute to Aslan with their version of this song is also brilliant in a different way and has created a path for new fans around the world to discover Aslan’s music. RIP Christy!

    I was fifteen working in the Royal Oak bar in Finglas, all the band drank there, so down to earth. We had Aslan watches, tshirts the lot-after EMI signed them up and they threw a party one day.
    One day my good friend and I were in Brussels Bar in Temple bar meeting my friends pen pal from Cork who was visiting Dublin. Aslan came on the radio and we were saying how we knew them and how they drank in our bar, Corky was thinking we were full of shit then Joe Jewel walks over all leathered up and like he just walked straight off a Depeche Mode album cover photo shoot, pats us on the back and buys us a round of drinks singing our praises.
    The good old days when life was simple.
    Thanks for the video.

    It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear Christy say that he's dying and can't pay his mortgage, people think because he's an Irish celebrity, he most be loaded, he's a strong man, with a beautiful wife and family behind him, hopefully he'll pull through, he's being through so much, and we're all rooting for him 💙❤♥
