  1. the gig was one of the bet hadouken! gigs i have been too, the atmophere inside ko ko was amazing, they played old classics some of their new stuff and the good old cover of pedulum which i enjoyed as when they play'ed it in birmingham, the people i met there was a good laugh, having a thrash about to the sick tunes lay'ed down by hadouken! and good crowd involment by the band them selves. well good gig would recomend trying to see them if you in your area :D

  2. Hadouken! and Does It Offend You, Yeah?, were amazing. The two bands are currently my favorite bands, having the chance to see both of them at KoKO was amzing. good performance from both bands.

  3. Great! gig
    Great! venue
    Awsome! night

    Does it offend you, yeah? were "off the hook" however, Hadouken! performed at there usual high standards thus causing mass mosh pits :D

    i must add!! The crowd were amazing! as someone returned my phone :D:D:D but the highlight was deffo crowd-surfing and hadouken's! cover of the prodigy :D

  4. My third time of seeing Hadouken! and I do have to say that, although the crowd responded well,it was not the best one iv'e seen them do. However, they did sound very good.
    Does It Offened You, Yeah? did not sound as good as Hadouken, but they put on a better show. They started off weak but got better and better throughout their performance.
    All I can say is that never get yourself into the middle of a Hadouken Mosh pit as it is not guarenteed to get out unharmed!

  5. This being the 3rd time I've seen Hadouken! live, I kind of knew what to expect, but nothing could prepare me for this gig!! It was honestly the most insane, mental, crazy and fantastic gig I've ever been to. Hadouken! were on absolutely top form as usual and the crowd were just nuts!

    I'm now completely battered and bruised! I have bruised rips, hips, stomach, legs and arms, a cut lip and a very, very sore head after being kicked in the head by many crowd surfers and the singer from Does It Offend You, Yeah?

    The support was abolutely awesome as well! I'm a DIOYY? fan now :D They were just crazy! And really interacted with the crowd. I groped the singer's arse, held his hand, AND got their towel at the end, so I'm a very happy bunny indeed :D

    I dont think I could ever get tired of seeing Hadouken! live. Every gig is different, and I honestly didnt think anything could beat the Electric Ballroom gig on the 21st of may 08, but this one has proved me wrong!

    Without a doubt, the best gig I have ever been to, and will probably ever go to!!

  6. Wow!
    What an incredible night!!
    I'm not usually the one to go absolutly mentally raving mad, but being honest if you were there you'd had to.
    Most people were 'moshing' and my friend lost her shoe!

    Does it offend you, yeah? came on and not everyone was like WOOO! but they did get the crowd going and decided to crowd surf.

    Then when Hadouken! came on then everyone went mental!
    Drinks went flying so did the sweat!

    I nearly fainted, but i ended up being all good.

    A really awesome night and a great one to remember!

  9. Hadouken! were as good as ever, old stuff still rocks, Leap of Faith is immense...and the Prodigy cover is amazing!
