Alternate life lesson cliche response - When faced with a crowd of Dubliners, one should expect nothing more than the opportunity to surf away on the inevitable tsunami of their boozy vomitus.

They were last seen putting flowers on Malcolm Little's gravesite.

he can't understand why his fans would expect him only to perform his old tracks.

Because he titled the performance MOONSHADOW?

The Wild World hitmaker was left baffled by the public reaction, because he can't understand why his fans would expect him only to perform his old tracks.

Here's a free tip to all musicians:
You get 10 years as a professional - 15 if you're very lucky - when an audience is interested in hearing your new material. After that, you'd better play more classics than new stuff if you want them to keep them at the show.

FTA: "My voice doesn't seem to have altered, which for many fans is already a Godsend."

Wouldn't that be 'Allah-send' ya daft blasphmer?

"He halted the gig to make a 40-minute presentation of his new London West End show, Moonshadow - but several members of the audience weren't impressed, and began chanting, 'We're bored' before filtering out of the O2 venue."

The polite thing to do is quietly walk out and keep drinking until it's over, like half the crowd did when The (t)Who played "Wire & Glass" on their Endless Wire tour.

So they took the peace train out of there?

I suppose the term "Fanatic" doesn't apply to people willing to walk out of a concert because they are bored.

Oh wait, he stopped the show to do a 40 minute presentation. Ouch.

Apparently, it wasn't time to make a change. He should have just relaxed and taken it easy.

Oh man...I bet he used Powerpoint.

douchebag/hater: Wouldn't that be 'Allah-send' ya daft blasphmer?

"Allah" is an Arabic word. When speaking English, it is conventional to use its English translation. Its English translation is "God."

Angel of Death: "Allah" is an Arabic word. When speaking English, it is conventional to use its English translation. Its English translation is "God."

But then you are going to get it confused with the true God.

So he stopped a concert for forty minutes to put on a song-and-dance show, and he's suprised that people were testy?

Someone put up the "Oh, SNAP" animation for me, please.

So much for his "Peace Money Train" bullshiat.

I've always been pretty "meh" about Cat/Yusaf. Of the 70s popular bigshots, I think who I'd most like to see do a comeback gig is Seals and Crofts.

All this because several fans got bored, decided to be rude, and leave? Really?

Call me when someone chucks a bottle at Yusuf's head.

I'm glad they booed Yusuf
ANGER: He totally lost the audience and if I weren't so polite, I would have booed too for feeling shortchanged (new window)

Yusuf jeered by fans at comeback concert (new window)
"play Peace Train, you f***ing b******" .

Yusuf 'utterly shocked' over abusive reaction at 02 show (new window)

Would have been nice if Salman Rushdie would have showed up and jack slapped his ass for calling for his death a few years ago over a book.

Wow, his second half, promising "something special" to his diehard fans, was a 40-minute musical performed mainly by actors and other entertainers, without Cat Stevens in sight?

What a farkin' dickhole.

When you're a '70s act, especially one that's just coming out of retirement, you have to expect that the fans are coming to hear you out of nostalgia. They want to hear your OLD stuff, not your NEW stuff.

Playing a couple of tracks off the new album is acceptable. 40 minutes' worth? Not so much.

Oooh, I just read some of the other articles on this... it wasn't just 40 minutes of the new stuff, but a 40-minute musical play? Yeah, I'm with the fans here. Total bullshiat.

Right? Right?

Well, if you want to walk out, walk out.

Well, not exactly. It was worse, in a way... The 40 minute musical bit featured many of Cat Stevens's hit songs, but they were sung other people, including an 8-year-old kid. The cheapest seat in the house went for 80 Euros, and I'll bet that anyone who likes Cat/Yusuf enough to pay crazy money like that for a show was hoping to hear those songs sung by Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam/Steven Georgiou, not by some musical theater troupe.

I hereby issue a فتوى against this pretentious butt-plug.


/am I doing it right?

I'd have time to come on her back.

but all the profits are going to "charity", like the Holy land Foundation

FTFA: "Islam is next due to perform on 23 November (09) in Birmingham, England."

This should end well.

They changed their names, worshipped a false prophet and got diseases. God bless America.

To be fair: I don't think the crowd was overjoyed when Spinal Tap took their music in a new "jazzy" direction either.

"Tea for the Tillerman" is one of the best early 70's albums OF ALL TIME.

Well most of them were there for Puppet Show.

You, sir, are one rightous tuber.

lajimi: Morning Has Broken, Yusuf. Follow your Moon Shadow back to the Peace Train and and make some Tea for the Tillerman.

I'm pretty sure Tillerman doesn't want any tea. And all the guys still deployed are probably looking for beer.
