The War Child show showed that they're still comfortable playing the older stuff. That was for a specific show though, two sets, was a great night tbf but bar Animal new stuff was shite!

It was was like Hitchcock. The build up of Biffy Clyro flags was subtle at first, scarcely even noticable. I waited, peacefully enough, biding my time for the guest band...... And then I noticed that something was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dire, only worsened by Band of Horses that weekend. Yeah was a shocking set. They played living is a problem and 9/15ths off puzzle and that was it, everything else OR onwards Didn't even play That Golden Rule which is one of if not the best post Puzzle song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they'll play Living is a Problem and everything else will be post-Puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday Superhouse would be mine, this it the only reason Download has it's advantage but it's not worth the £100 day ticket that they'll do it, seems to only be an intimate gig thing.

Muppetmark Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Sadly who's got a match wasn't played on the arena tour so i doubt it'll get an outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided that they are before FF they won't need to play a lighter lighter set etc as FF won't be playing a Glastonbury adjusted set or anything. I wouldn't say Golden Rule is anymore mad than most of FF stuff. If Seasick Steve makes an appearance in the 2nd batch, you can bet JPJ probably will and with Dave there that's probably a guarantee, I wouldn't be shocked if he got Jimmy Page though myself.

But then from Bubbles through the end of the main set, that is solid gold Biffy of the post-Puzzle era. There's comfortably enough hooks and riffs that stick in the mind for a singalong there. Ellipsis is the first clanger, as an overall album, they've dropped. Yes, they've become more commercial, and yes, there's a strong argument that material post-Puzzle is very meat-and-potatoes hard pop rock. But on the whole, P, OR and O all had enough huge anthems and delicate, pretty numbers to hold them up. Ellipsis unfortunately is a sign of the tunes running out. But then they're also renown showmen. The material is crap sometimes, yes, but few bands on that bill will put on a more ferocious, tight, exhilarating live performance, taps aff or an.

Yeah, there were duffers on there. But a lot of those tracks have gone on to be just as established now. Biblical may have not been a hit but that got one of the biggest crowd reactions at Reading last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubic Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) The new album is poor, but 'In the Name of the Wee Man' is up with their best work. The ending especially is very old-school Biffy. No idea why it was only a bonus track (recorded in a seperate session perhaps?).

king_oxymoron Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Surely they're going to be doing Animal Style too? I could see them leaving off Flammable and MAYBE Howl, but Wolves, Animal Style and Re-arrange have got to be a given? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
