biffy clyro

[festhead]

cannot wait to see them with a decent slot aswell! hopefully will play most of the older stuff. any fans of them on here? wjhos going to see them? think there gonna class with mumford & sons my friends wanna see them so im going it alone to biffy!

[frankie boy]

Saw them at Brixton a few months back they were amazing I think if they wanted it they could be a massive global success but I just get the impression they dont want all that and I can see them headling festivals in a few years

[wooga]

dont think they will play much old stuff. maybe 1 or 2 songs likes in 07 when they opened with bodies in flight. but they have become a very big band from the last 2 albums, so wont be expecting much old stuff.

[haystack]

Biffy are one of the main reasons why I'm going. They're brilliant live and I liked the new album. DOubt we'll get much old stuff though At V last year they didn't even play 57!

Hmmm, im not sure. They are 3rd on the lineup... and like you said they got big of thier last 2 albulms, so im thinking it will be 50/50 old and new stuff. Kinda like thier greatest hits since they first started, as lets face it, most the old songs are alot better than the new stuff. I love both, both old stuff is a lot better, and if they want to get bigger they have to show previous work

So im thinking all thier best songs throughout thier time, espeshally as only revolutions came out early 2009 didnt it? Im not sure the whole of 2009 is a blur to me right now!

[ska_4_life]

i hope they do play 50/50 with old and new stuff. that would be so good. i just dont know how well it will go down with the crowd who would only know them from puzzle onwards.

[frankie boy]

When I saw them at brixton it was more 60/40 with new stuff at 60 they did play 57 aswell and biffy have a hardcore fan following s they know to play old stuff to

[rockinthecasbah]

Not getting my hopes up for much old stuff- 57 and one other at best I reckon. Look at their setlists from V last year and Reading the year before.

Whos Got A Match

Saturday Superhouse

Living Is A Problem

Mountains

That Golden Rule

Many Of Horror

The Captain

Bubbles

Hah Im guessing fans of their old stuff wouldnt agree with me?

[farmer_andy]

Seen em quite a lot since Puzzle and gotta say even at their own gigs old material is pretty limited, usually 4 or 5 max inc 57, Justboy, Glitter and Trauma and Liberate the Illiterate recently

I love all their stuff but really do miss the pre Puzzle times when you'd get a good mix of the 3 other albums cos in my opinion it really is the best stuff.

They'll still be f**king epic like always at Leeds though!

[j...rox]

Glitter & Trauma + new stuff would suit me fine. Love both their mainstream albums, previous 3 where what made them different but not the biggest fan.

[Andy0808 V2.0]

bands always get better when they go mainstream, i mean look at KOL

[scottt]

Id rather they just played Puzzle all the way through.

I dont like the old stuff. Or the new album.

[mrtourette]

Hopefully the lead singer will get his top off to show off his tats, there must be at least 10 people going who haven't seen them before.

the old stuff so much better.

put right off by the previous setlists.

seriously, only playing one song from the first three albums...that's terrible.

blackened sky and vertigo of bliss are amazing.

but sadly i'm not totally arsed about seeing them this year because i know they'll play shit liek captain and many of horror, which you would hear playing at mcdonalds and asda and shit- i mean, is there any more obvious sign of a band's downfall??

BODIES IN FLIGHT!!

would love a bit of that.

Still, That Golden Rule is a pretty awesome song

[2reese2]

Machines would make me a happy man

[Matticus]

cant be arsed with biffy anymore, first three albums are brilliant, i remember when they played all the way down back in 2005 on main stage early. was brilliant zoomed in on Simon Neils face and he had a tear in his eye.

Last two times i saw them they played the generic new stuff. pretty boring.

Although when they played 2007 in the tent and played Folding stars, that was epic!

[Matticus]

yeah i know, i just thought it was a well written pop tune, and went down very well live. ALl the new stuff literally comes from the same "biffy" mold, as in they all sound much the same, when biffys USP back in the day was they varied with the styles.

[haystack]

On the tour what is coming up they are rumoured to be dusting off old tracks so this may translate into a few oldies for their Reading set, maybe 3 or 4 which isn't bad.

eradicate the doubt

wave upon wave

questions and answers

hero management

strung to your ribcage

got wrong

kids from kibble

with aplomb

toys toys toys

if any of these were played, i would love it. id just like it if they alternated the setlist every night. Green Day, Metallica dn Frank Turner have all done this when ive seen them. Have a few stapels, then add some surprises somwhere in the middle.
