Released two solid albums. A fantastic live act. If you drop the pretense for a second and actually admit they are perfectly fine. They are a band who were incredibly popular, sold out arenas, and released a modern classic album. I realise it's uncool to like them now but f**k it.... They were/are an entertaining act who released some belting tunes.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was giving that band a career. Bit campy, bit of a pisstake, bit of fun... the majesty of rock, the mystery of roll etc.

...no thanks.

[Vieuphoria]

They were alright, back in the day. Just seem like an average cock rock band when you listen now.

Ah why not. I'd be happy to see them there, as has been said don't take themselves too seriously and put on a good show, hell yeah, lets have it... Just dusted off "Permission to Land" for a little bit of reminiscing... Don't think I'd get in my spandex to see them any more though, I'll leave that to the band

[VCK]

I liked them. Had some fun catchy tunes, never took them seriously. In terms of actual musicianship and instrumentation I thought they were quite talented. Admittedly Justin Hawkins is a bit of a cock but most frontmen are...

Obviously there's no way they'd headline now, but 2nd or 3rd on the bill would be spot on.

"Motherfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-CKAH!"

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Permisson to Land still gets a play at work every week, it's a fantastic album it really is.

They were good the year before, from what I've gathered, when they were moved up to 4th from low main stage.

[Vieuphoria]

You obviously didnt see them when they headlinerd leeds then. I and everybody else there really thought "right the jokes gone too far, please leave the stage"

Infact I left half hour before the end so I could get a good spot for dirty sanchez. They was THAT bad

2 points to be made here.....

1) I have in no way defended R/L choice to have them as headliners so early on.

2) Who's the bigger idiot. The band being paid millions to play a gig? Or the guy who sat a stage to watch a band who he doesn't like, was bored of, and had plenty of alternatives to?

Depressing that hey'd be an upgrade on 30STM as sub.

[jump]

As long as they do not play longer than 20 mins I'd see them, any longer I'm become too cynical & annoyed of them. Which pretty much describe how I felt watching them headline, so glad I ditched my mates for the dance stage.

They were fantastic in 03, in 04 I went to see 2 Many DJs instead.

I would take The Darkness over 30STM every day of the week.
