Guest Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Would it be too soon for Biffy to return again? Would be 3 years, same gap that they had last time, but it'd be getting a bit gimmicky having them headline so soon again. The 1975, Kanye, Biffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 They won’t be headlining if they ever do come back. It’s almost ten years since the peak of their popularity and they’ve already started stepping down festival bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Aye maybe Biffy isn't the best shout tbf.

They were probably booked to that effect but Opposites did tidy business too. Feel 2013 was their peak as a live pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Serj: "Screw vocals. I'm tired of it ... I wrote so many lyrics that it stopped to be interesting. Not because there is nothing I want to talk or sing about. Sure there are topics I don’t want to write lyrics to but at least I can pull out some new emotions out of it. Poetry is always something that opens yourself up and supports self-determination. I just did it for too long. Now I am more interested in writing instrumental pieces of music."

Feel 2013 was their peak as a live pull. Probably was, because they were headlining arenas and festivals and there were massive opportunities to see them. But, while it was reasonably successful still, you couldn’t attribute that to Opposites. They were probably the biggest band among young people in Britain around 2009/10, had a bunch of chart hits and one of their songs had a Christmas No. 1. I feel like they have their early fans, and their peak era fans and then that’s it - nobody is going to see them in hopes that they play Pocket - and each of those groups have seen them Reading headline set twice now. Glastonbury sub slot is a sign of what’s to come surely, I can’t see what they’ll get from having them headline again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When SOAD were announced for Download this year I was sure a new album was coming but as time goes on it's becoming more apparent that the reunion is just a paycheck for Serj (not that it didn't look like that initially...) Shame as I was looking forward to seeing if they still had it in them. Maybe he'll come around sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I think it was known three or four years ago that Serj wasn't into doing new stuff but they've continued writing and developing songs without him nonetheless.

They seemed pretty positive about a new album/Serj being up for it a year or so ago and even mentioned 2017 as a time of release, but guess it just never materialised. Hard to imagine they'll be able to milk the touring the old material thing for much longer, if at all, so curious to see where the band go from here. Toxicity anniversary shows in a couple of years time maybe... or just break up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying - or trying to say - was that the band have kept going this far trying to get a new album going even with Serj dragging his feet so I don't think it's just gonna slide off the table now. As you say there's no tread left in their reunion without new material so if it was completely off then I think the band would be over.

Hmm I thought they had but maybe they just mentioned that they had new material and I assumed it included input from Serj. Guess they'll just go dormant for a while until they get a definite answer about him wanting to do it or not. Not so on board with the band continuing with a new vocalist idea that Shavo mentioned - I get that they want to continue with the band, but I can't imagine SOAD without Serj.
