LondonTom was the one who linked inspiration and a changing sound, not me. I merely expressed that the Arctic Monkeys sound has changed more than Kasabian's and then continued to respond to the thinly veiled dig at AM,

Please tell me thats a joke?

Even if its the exact same show as they did previously, bands still need to rehearse.

Do you think that once you get to a certain level you can just slack off and knock out a good performance at a moments notice.

Huge headlining bands like Foo's, Metallica, Prince and the sexual innuendo, RHCP, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, U2, Neil Young, Pearl Jam all rehearse loads before going on tour. By the time the first shows come around it'll be about 8 months since Macca's played a gig with his band. You can't go from 8 months out of the game to headlining stadiums and possibly glasto without rehearsing

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub 
    • Yeah Roy's Tune was lovely. Looking forward to the whole thing hopefully going on iPlayer.   It's scattered dates they have this year really, proper tour/s to come next year - suspect a new single will drop in the next couple of months, providing the album is done.
