Khutan Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Coolio singing Gangsta Paradise in Pattaya Far too ironic for my liking. Sure to be someone there with their hand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebounder Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 He was indeed out and about last night. Bumped into him in Hooty's and then again in Living Doll Showcase. He is not very tall. But he is a surprisingly nice fella. He was trying very hard to persuade my mates and I to go to his concert, so much so in fact that he came across as a little concerned about whether anyone will turn up.

Ask him about Dracula3000 that should get an embarrasing reaction out of him!! haha Edited September 17, 2005 by britmaveric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music that you can listen to (and sing along to once you are drunk enough), good atmosphere and, most importantly, girls that are as fit as the proverbial butcher's dog!!! Can't beat a good bit of eye candy. I guess you probably agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree D. Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 why do I wasit so late to hear this news? When he was 15, he was a boxboy for my dad at the Long Beach Sh!tyard, I mean shipyard. Props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and I have to the the performance, sound, etc etc was very good. Only about 30 people came though Not any of my business but I told the organisors 3 months ago what advertising would be good in Patters. They did'nt advertise well. I chatted with Coolio for about 15 mins after and even he said the same thing followed by- "**** man I made sure I was paid before I came" Actually a nice guy, (the wife enjoyed her the onstage performance ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 must have been the worst advertised gig ever, i keep my ear to the ground musically, and never knew about this. I doubt he was cheap eigher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Dave - 30 People! Oh well easy gig for him and up/close personal with the audience. Was he playing at Tony's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Pat Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Another example of Thai ignorance, Coolio is not a legend but any Thai kid into hiphop worth his salt would have definitely gone to this, shows that people know ###### all about hiphop in reality.

Various reason that sum up to terrible advertising. All posters were in english only. Poster quality was superb, Thick, Glossy= TOO EXPENSIVE. Mainly advertised in gogo's ? Started at 9pm on a saturday in september = Low Season, Not alot of cash around for the main customers for this type of show = THAI'S. And most have to work on a saturday evening. Advertised on a farang TV news station. Hopefully the next one will be better, They are talking about bringing Snoop Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have been more specific and said "gangsta rap" I can and do listen to some, I'm really into the new Gorillaz cd right now. My whole problem with gangsta rap is its all Violence, money and degredation of women. Music has allways been about women, but c'mon, have you seen some of these videos? And to my knoweldge I dont remember Robert plant ever trying to "pop a cap" into Mick Jagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
