I dont think I'm expressing myself very well, so I apologise for that.

Foo fighters, snow patrol, stereophonics...It's the musical equivalent of reading the Twilight books. I cant fathom why people read that trash when there is a plethora of amazing books out there.

I look down on those people too.

I'm aware the problem is all mine and not yours. In a way I wish I could live in your simplistic, blissfully ignorant world.

I mean no offence.

Cheers Neil, I'll pay it no further attention then for now.

Ahhhh Russy, a true relic of a bygone age, it's quite sweet really, you do make me smile. To say you hate the tories, you have no problem in expressing your distaste for those you judge musically inferior to your own views. Not much correlation I know, but still, live and let live, there's no need to look down on people or think them simple because they like genres of music or literature you don't like. I can guarantee there will be people much more intelligent than you or I will ever be who love cheesy chart pop.

You sir are a snob but you do amuse me.

Russy must have the biggest fishing rod on here, the way he reels people in is unreal. Ive never made it to a Glasto efests meet, is he this opionated in person ?

I bet he types most of this stuff giggling with a huge smile on his face just waiting for the bites.

Song for the Dead is pretty sweet. Albeit played in a very John Bonham style, bordering on parody as I said. Actually parody sounds too negative. Mimicry is a better description. But all of the album has really solid drums on it.

But that my point about his style. Hes very loud. Smash smash. And it stands out. He has his own style, no doubts. You immediately know its him.

But Taylor is a better drummer for me, in the Buddy Rich sense. As are most famous hard rock/metal drummers like Vinnie Paul, Igor Caverlera, Mike Bordin etc. And Brann Dailor as Wooderson said.

I don't understand how there is a positive reaction to Kanye.

He is a tool, I heard his Secret Garden set tanked, and he likes to play *****as in Paris a dozen times at the end of a set.

If they're seriously thinking about putting Kanye there, just save the money and promote Nas.

    • If anyone spots any new tour posters on site could they share them please? Hoping for ADTR and Electric Callboy tours
    • It completely depends on how that count is done   if it’s individuals entering the arena each day, over the whole weekend, it was at 30% capacity and in no way one of the highest attended festivals in the UK   it was in no way as low as 30% though so that can’t be the measure, so as a number, with no context, “90,000” is meaningless.   Only one category of Leeds ticket seems to have moved on to second tier pricing at this point. I don’t think this is necessarily a sales indicator as much as a method to keep prices up north lower than down south but with this and the anecdotal video evidence, it’s clear Leeds has been nowhere near its capacity (of 90,000/ day) the last 2-3 years   
    • £56 - £118 was the price range.   Which for an arena show, dare I say it, felt "okay" in this environment.
    • I’m sure someone said on here months back that they self confirmed at one of their gigs, like late last year
    • Yeah Kurt Vile keeps growing on me more and more. DCFC I found solid enough but relatively forgettable unfortunately.
