WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY CAN'T DECIDE WHICH HEADLINER TO BOOK !

DING DING DING SHOW ME THE CO-HEADLINE!

[tyranicide]

Im not sure whether BMTH will be back or not. They are in the early writing stages so will probably have an album late next year and so might turn up to promote that.

I know I shouldn't take notice of anything Melvin says, but didn't he say that all the bands they're talking to are guitar bands? Ruling out The Prodigy?

[Gucci Piggy]

He said they all have guitars, and The Prodigy have guitars.

[mrtourette]

I know I shouldn't take notice of anything Melvin says,

So why do it then?

[giantwagon]

He said they all have guitars, and The Prodigy have guitars.

Oh yeah, I just read the article again. From memory I thought he'd said they were guitar bands.

[giantwagon]

I don't like you

Yeahhhh I thought the same as you when I first read it.

[dentalplan]

I didn't realise 'guitar band' and 'band with guitar' were different things.

[TheSilence]

I reckon they are really. Most bands are bands with guitars, not all bands with guitars are guitar bands.

Like hot tubs and Jacuzzis

[mrtourette]

So at what point does a 'band with guitars' become a 'guitar band'?

[Gucci Piggy]

When their sound is mostly focused upon the guitar.

For instance, an orchestra can have a guitar player in it, but it would never be described as a guitar band

I used this example before, but Jay-Z has a live band doesn't he, so that could be classed as having guitars, whereas he's not a 'guitar band' either way Melvin was just being vague as fuck as per

[tyranicide]

The gigs at midnight?

I think it's just easier to dismiss the term 'guitar band'.

We could do that, but then where would all our riveting discussions stem from?

[lharris92]

people having incidents in their tents?

[GodlikeYeezus]

I can see an absolute outrageous booking this year like Bastille subbing and i'm not too fussed because the reaction from the forum will be more entertaining than anyone i could think of subbing.

Or like Macklemore subbing or something

Or Jake Bugg, imagine the scenes

What do you mean by 'mostly focused on the guitar'? When does the focus become 'mostly'?

Yes, it's almost as if the comment should have been ignored by everyone.

It's obviously a grey area, but you know what people are talking about - stop being a knob about it
