Not really. They only ever did one good song called Debaser on a very average album called Doolittle. The rest was just a fat talentless septic tank screaming shite lyrics over basic chord structures, overdriven to f**k to hide all the mistakes.

Mr BlackHole, I'm afraid you've shown your youth and naivety there by taking the bait. But thank you for validating my drunken, piss taking jibe. Still pals??

It's the same with one of my other favourite bands, Idlewild - Roddy by himself - passable folk. Rod Jones latest solo album was pretty terrible. Put them all together - properly good songs with an added 'something' that you can't put your finger on.

Would the Beatles have been the same without Ringo's sub-par drumming? The Rolling Stones with a different singer? The Who without John? It's the same for all great bands.

The way that no Pixies side project (Breeders, Amps, Frank Black, Martinis) has come close to the actual Pixies kinds of goes towards showing my point - nobody could ever emulate the Pixies as they were about the four individuals in that band playing to each others strengths and weaknesses - put those four together and they're unstoppable. Remove just one from the equation and it all kind of falls apart.

The Breeders albums are good, but live they're pretty horrific. Okay, Kelley Deal was learning to play guitar whilst being in the band in the early days. But 20 years on she still looks like she's been playing for 2 months.

Love them both.

If I had to rate albums then probably: Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim > Doolittle > Pod > Last Splash > Trompe Le Monde > Bossanova > Title TK > Mountain Battles

Had ATP birthday cake given to me by Kim Deal a few months back :P

      I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana

      Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand.

      I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.

      MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.

      Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
