Feel sorry the guy sounded like he was just clarifying the question but now it’s immortalised on social media

Had heard the 2 demo versions long before the original came out, really disappointed they didn't just keep it with the stripped back Axl vocal and piano.
It's considered a classic but I think it's too over the top.

Is that demo version available to hear anywhere

Another one that springs to mind is Daphne Descends by the Smashing Pumpkins - utter shite on the album but live they jacked up Iha’s e-bow and it is f**king class

Not sure songs are always ruined by a produce as oppsoed to artists finding a better tempo and set-up to it live. 'No Women, no Cry' by Bob Marley springs to mind. However I find in some cases Prince's song writing somehow gets a bit muted by his production style of the 80s and they rarely highligh...

Learning to Fly by Tom Petty

Album version is tempo is too fast. Awful when compared to the live version, which is an absolute masterpiece

Can someone who’s been following this explain what he actually did and why it’s been overturned?

Duff, I guess you need to define wealth. By most metrics, we're a wealthy country (2nd in the world using distorted gdp/capita, 6th using GNI), we're running budget surpluses despite covid and other factors and we're sadly seeing the effects of our success in housing and creaking services. But I ta...

it's weird isn't it? Back when we hadn't 2 pennies to rub together our Medical Schools were producing almost 100% domestic graduates. Now we're cash rich but like still poor really, as per Duff Paddy, we must rely on poor countries to subsidise our med schools. My horseshit detectors feel tingly Ye...

I think we're wealthier than you're giving us credit for but that wasn't what I responded to. We're in the second stage of having a bit of cash, not the first like you suggested. In my adult lifetime we've built the Luas, m50, pretty much all the motorways, tunnel, terminal 2 and the docklands has ...

The American model is about the most dysfunctional there is. They’re the only ones paying the true cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals - and their population is subsidising us in some cases Yeah, I don't think so. How do you think they can sell pharmaceuticals at different prices in different co...

Not sure about that. That was the 00s. Hitting our early 30s now and trying to be more responsible and stable with our finances.

Why? If we charged appropriately, a medical degree would probably cost hundreds of thousands of euro. That's beyond the vast majority of people. It’s not usually to graduate med school in the states with student debts north of $750k. But they make it back there. Do people want to pay US prices for ...

The actual reason is that teaching medicine is really expensive and really difficult. Foreign students subsidise Irish students. I agree with Miguel. However, even if he is wrong and yours is the "actual reason", isn't that shameful for one of the world's wealthiest countries? Why? If we charged ap...

I agree with Miguel. However, even if he is wrong and yours is the "actual reason", isn't that shameful for one of the world's wealthiest countries?

Never knock a pool with an indoor slide. Many moons ago was emerging from the sauna in there when I overheard a rather flustered young lifeguard, on watching none other than John Hayes wandering over to the stairs up to the slide, muttering 'ahh, FFS' to herself as she envisioned the carnage which ...

I’m not making any comment on the quality of female doctors. There are good ones and shit ones just like the men. My point was that they are less likely to be willing to locate in remote areas and they are less likely to work the insane hours that the GP’s of old did - mostly due to motherhood - an...

Duff Paddy

I think that it's becoming more like that. Years ago the attitude was I had to do that so you can too . Why do you think it’s much harder to see a GP these days? Young people, mostly women, just don’t have the warrior mentality of the old guard. For decades the system relied on the heroics of the s...

I've only read this article but yeah, harrowing is the only word. Seems unbelievable a 16 year old girl can die more or less in public view in one of our major hospitals. Amazing they couldn't cop the difference in how sick she was to someone being the type of sick that needed a hospital stay gener...

Duff Paddy

There are two elephants in the room, overseas graduates and and Irish women graduates. I don't understand how our universities are allowed to replace irish students with overeas ones in a situation where we are not producing sufficient graduates for our own requirements. Secondly, there needs to be...

Reading about the testimony at the coroner's inquest for the 16yr old who passed of sepsis in UHL is harrowing, the timeline was so short for her. GP had her diagnosed straight away and the hospital dropped the ball over and over again by the looks of it. Head nurse in Oz and not available for cros...

I presume he didnt find one given your hatred of the plebian masses in the public system?

Duff Paddy

I know it’s a tough life having to read a magazine for 2 hours before you get your non life threatening medical issues looked after but did it dawn on you that there might be actual sick people who might need his time more? Unlike you, no consultant in the country gets 7 weeks holidays. I am seeing...

Duff Paddy

:lol: at yourself I use both now, and it works out fine. Paying nearly €4k to sit for well over two hours is not on. I am abroad on average 7 weeks a year, holiday insurance covers that.

Failings by the state to investigate adequately at the time I would imagine.... If we're being serious for a moment Failings by the State to investigate adequately ?

Can someone please tell me why the state is on the hook for redress from the Stardust? Obviously an awful disaster but why are the tax payer footing the bill? I agree with them on this. They were shamefully denied justice for over 40 years. It was a f**king disgrace. Pay up and let them move on. De...

Her view was that the losses Dr Naude suffered “far exceed the maximum jurisdiction of the act” and that UCC’s actions were “so egregious” that she would have ordered the university to reinstate him to his job as a professor if he had not ruled the option out.

What a moron
