Runour in Sunderland is there playing the stadium of light. If true I guess a stadium tour of the UK may happen.

I saw them at Glastonbury in 08 and then saw them in December that year at Wembley (although they were popular at this point the tickets had gone on sale before the Sex on Fire fame) and enjoyed them both.

However, I've heard they've been pretty shitty this last year or so. I think the last album was alright, but it just wasn't as patch on the others and gained them a shitty fanbase. Give them time off and hopefully they'll come back a bit more humble and a bit more like Aha Shake Heartbreak.

Saying that, I'd still watch them.

They need to grow their beards back.

[4AssedMonkey]

Very true. That was an awesome collection of facial hair, and once it was gone they seemed to lose all their powers in a facial-Samson kind of situation.

I'm hoping Fleet Foxes don't go near razors anytime soon...

[MEGABOWL]

Dunno. Perhaps if Fleet Foxes have a shave they'll become a decent band instead of a bunch of whining, mardy, miserable bastards.

[4AssedMonkey]

I can neither agree nor disagree, as I'm still paralysed with torpor from their Pyramid show last year

[Alzeefest]

OK cheers for all your replies!!!!

So the story seems to be there not going to be playing this year, and by the sound of it thats not a bad thing (although I still cant imagine them being rubbish as the 3 times I've seen them they have always been excellent and the crowd was fab). But it was over a year ago when I last seen them and most of these bad stories seem to have come within that time. So maybe they should go live in the hills somewhere grow there beards back for the next few years and come back and rock the socks off Glastonbury after there year off in 2012. Maybe with some new tougher old school rock & roll!!!

Of course loads of people like them, like loads of people like Coldplay, U2 etc. That's why they sell lots of albums/concert tickets. As you'll find with a lot of bands though, especially-and this is key-popular ones, those who don't like them shout loudest.

[MyTwistedWords]

Rubbish!!! The only people who buy U2 and Coldplay albums nowadays are the Two CDs a Year from Tesco Brigade.

And as for the Kinds of Leon I think the general consensus here is that they were rather good but are now a bit rubbish and act like total tits.

[Petewasbristol]

I miss the nervous, bumbling, beardy Kings

Take the 2004 Second from top Pyramid slot, it was all over the place, but in a good way

Hopefully they take a long break, recharge and come back with an album that does not sound so forced. Or at least until Sex on Fire has bloody stopped being played in every club/radio show!!!

I don't hate them as some people seem to. I love them for giving me one of the best debut albums this decade (YY&M). A break would do them the world of good IMO.

You'll probably get a chance to see them at T4 on the beach with Fern and Reggy, the winner of X Factor and McFly next year

God why do people rave so much about this lot? The singer has got the most annoyingly whiny voice since the Datsuns, and they really should be introduced to the concept of melody.

Forgive my ignorance, but who?

people dont... the majority of this thread is dedicated to how much they suck

[radioheadchick1970]

[vintagelaureate]

i dont want to see them at glastonbury. i`ve seen them at leeds a few times, and every year they seem to become more diluted. i like the early stuff, and a few of the new ones but would prefer someone else.
