Wooderson Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 In fairness Biffy are bigger than QOTSA, and if one was subbing the other it'd be QOTSA subbing Biffy. You weren't born to hula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 QOTSA > Biffy Clyro but Biffy are bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Biffy are doing Queens covers. Ex Factor characters are doing Biffy covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I do like Biffy. Good bunch of lads. Taps aaaf etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.M.V Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Who the fuck is or are Biffy Clyro? QOTSA for headlining would make me rather happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Queens are the last *great* American rock band. Whilst there's ample chance/probability for Biffy to headline this immediate comparison to Queens is silly/comical. Let the Queens play last. Give me that one thing people. I beg of you.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just to clarify I think QOTSA are a fuck ton better than Biffy, and they were the bomb at the Hydro last year, despite some old geezer who was off his head grabbing me by the neck and punching me in the face.

kingcrawler Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I concur that gig was absolutely dynamite, they were on top form and the crowd was on top form Yeah they were fantastic that night. That was a ridiculous week for gigs for me, had Arcade Fire at the barrowlands the night before it then Sigur Ros and Arctic Monkeys a few days after it. Doubt I'll get that again anytime soon!

I fully agree with you Wooderson, Queens should be the one playing last - but if the hypothetical situation occurred where Biffy and QOTSA were the pyramid's top 2... BIffy would close the show.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 What's the Hydro like mate? I've tickets to U2 there in Nov. Standing or seated? It's good, I only got Hydro tickets because it was the only Saturday gig, but I'm glad I did. Obviously with the amphitheatre shape you'll always have a good view from the seated section, and you'll never be too far back in the standing section. One weird thing about it is the barrier is only in the centre, and so you can basically go round it and be next to the stage, as you can see in this picture (from a lovely Rod Stewart gig). Can't remember what the sound was like, really, although it was a bloody loud gig. Drinks were cheap if I remember correctly; we were pleasantly surprised by the cost.

I think it's much better than the SECC if you were ever in that wooderson, acoustics are great and brilliant for a big light show, will suit U2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 In fairness Biffy are bigger than QOTSA, and if one was subbing the other it'd be QOTSA subbing Biffy. Yeah but why would either have to be subbing? Matt flat out suggested them subbing Biffy. I wouldnt put it past Ms. Welch's ambition to call Homme to reprise their sweet mother of holy hoppin' hell thats a career low for you big lad cover of "Jackson". I actually think his career low might be playing guitar on Biffy's Bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 why are people even talking about biffy clyro in this thread? stop it, they're boring MOR shite. Cause they are also brilliant. Its possible to love more than rock band. Anyway the whole argument is silly, as it wouldn't happen at Glastonbury which ever way around you would prefer:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Following a performance by QOTSA at the Jay Z-owned Made In America Festival in the summer of 2013, Homme made comments about the rap star during a radio interview with CBC Radio 2 ’s “Strombo Show.” Homme explained that his band was frisked by the event's security team prior to the performance and referred to Jay Z's personal interaction with the band as a marketing stunt. Homme stated: He has his security frisking the bands on the way in. I just told them if you open up my bag I'm not playing so I guess it's up to you whether we are playing or not … The idea they frisked all my guys, means you're in some different place, no-one has ever done that [to me] ... He also gave us some champagne and wanted us to take a photo with it. And I thought that's not a gift that is a marketing tool. So I destroyed it. Because I thought it was rude overall. And you shouldn't frisk my guys, you should fuck off Record and tour asap please! And add the above to the Jay Z/Beyonce are c**ts bucket.

Spindles Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Qotsa's 2011 performance was the perfect closer to the festival. I for one would love to see them return. Edited February 23, 2015 by Spindles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
