Would love to see them, so why has no big name bands like QOTSA been added as rumor.

[Spitfire]

I love QOTSA would be great if they played, but this would mean no TCV

That's not a bad thing. TCV massively overrated. If me and two mates had released that album it would have done f**k all. It's just the fact that it's Grohl, Homme and JPJ that people are w*nking over it. QOTSA rock and would be much more fun than TCV. Deep down inside I think we all know that.

I disagree with that imo it was the best album of last year. I like it more than anything that the foos and qotsa have done in their careers. I think its a different direction for music to take and is very unique.

After that then you can state the musicians make it even better. It sometimes takes established musicians to push the boundries of music in a different direction, and in my eyes they do that perfectly.

I'd much prefer TCV tbh.

It's not pushing musical boundries its just sounds like a bad QOTSA album.

I prefer The Colour And The Shape, but it's certainly on a par with Songs for the Deaf (IMO QOTSA's best work) and better than the rest of each bands offerings

I would definately rather have TCV that Foos or QOTSA. In fact, surely if QOTSA are in Europe it could just be because TCV are playing Reading and Josh thought he'd throw in a few other shows with his other while over here.

The more I think about that the more I'm sure it's the case.

I'm almost tempted to make an outrageous claim like - TCV WILL be at Reading and QOTSA and Foos DEFINATELY won't.... but I'm not going to

In your opinion!

Personally, I don't think it sounds like qotsa at all (apart from homme's voice, even that in places doesn't sound like it does on qotsa stuff)

There's a lot more on offer from the bass and drums imo, add in the keyboard moments.

I honestly don't agree with you at all.

LOL !    What a ridiculous statement.   Just really funny.  I presume you're joking.

Agree completly with this. It was a pretty poor album imo and was just too riff heavy and long. Yeah it has some good tracks on it, but it didn't sound like a complete piece of work like an album should if you know what I mean. It sounded like they'd done some tracks in the studio and let someone decide what order and which ones should go on it without putting any effort in. At around the 7th or 8th track I've already had enough and turned the thing off. Lost the over exagerated guitar riffs, cutt it down to ten tracks with a few better tracks and it might have sounded better. I very much doubt that TCV will be there anyway.

[Vieuphoria]

Yeah TCV are just a hypemachine. The albium was poor, and was very let down by them at Reading. Which is a shame because i'm a big fan of Kyuss/QOTSA/Zepplin/Nirvana... So i thought this would be a great album. Unfortuantly not.

Would much prefer Queens to be at, if not headline, reading

Why would I be joking. It's just dull guitar riffs over slightly odd time signatures. That's not pushing boundaries. That's been around for years. Look just cos Zane Lowe says it's good doesn't mean it is.

TCV's album is amazing! I bet you if QOTSA or Foos released it you would all be drooling over it

That is incorrect. I thought Era Vulgaris was shite. I don't like something just because of who performs it.

Once again in your opinion!

Who listens to Zane Lowe BTW?

How could you ever possibly deduce that someone likes TCV because Zane lowe likes them?

[theramm]

The TCV album is massively underwhelming IMO and obviously in the opinion of the record buying public seeing as it sold relatively poorly. Especially considering how much hype & free publicity the band garnered purely based on the success of the individual members. There were loads of threads on the Download forums full of people going apeshit when it was announced that TCV were subbing to AC/DC, it got to the point where (festie booker) Andy Copping spat his dummy out (& posted something along the lines of 'Fine, you lot don't want TCV, shall we just cancel the fest altogether? I suppose you don't want AC/DC either?).
IMO TCV are a poor booking for the position they're playing, people were claiming they should headline R&L on here not too long ago. A band with 1 album full of songs that no-one knows nor cares about playing for 90 minutes? At Download they're going to be a massive atmos killer yet the organisers will no doubt claim them a success as they'll have a huge crowd....full of people claiming a decent spot waiting for AC/DC.

I personally think they will have a big crowd on there own merits. I know on this board they'll get shot down from those who don't like them, saying exactly that comment u've posted above.

But realistically I think a lot of people actually like them crooked vultures. Judging by the amount of people that have said they voted for them for to support the Rage gig (even though there not available due to rock am ring) I think that that there very popular.

Not many casual music fans have even heard of TCV, at least a lot of people I have talked to have never heard of them.

I don't think you get booked to play high up on the bill's of some of the biggest festivals all over the world on just band members reputation alone. Fair enough if you don't like them or were expecting something more from the album, (I love it, I don't think theres much they could do with it to make it better IMO) but give them credit where credit is due, eh?

Atmosphere killer? They're one of the best live bands around, no question
