Faithless

[guypjfreak]

banging tunes great live what more could one want

[LeeGalvin]

Would love to see them, as long as they played their classics just as they sounded originally. Their latest release fucked around with all sorts of 'EDM' remixes. If I want to see Calvin Harris, I'll go to a Radio 1 Roadshow, thanks.

They need some new music though for me, maybe if a new album was on the cards but some of the old stuff sounds a bit hackneyed now I reckon.

Yep. Remixing the original tracks to be more current is the worst thing they can do. I don't think they are that stupid though, are they?

No they don't do that type of stuff live, they only made that remix album as an excuse to release another greatest hits album of pretty much the exact same songs as the last one

Oh that's good to hear. I was worried they were going to down a very slippery slope. I love dance music, but hate all that Avicii bollocks.

I didn't think they would be. They know what they are and what they need to do. Haven't seen them live before so would welcome a show at Glastonbury.

Saw them at Boardmasters last August. They were excellent.

 

[Funkyfairy!]

Love them live. Seen them probably 4 or 5 times at festivals and never fail to put on a great show

Yes they were. Great day in the sun 

[guypjfreak]

they were great last glasto gig 2010 .just wish if they do play they play a  LITTLE later cos the lights would be better .....and i do like the lights ....if im sober enough to see them lol

[Doug85]

Well they absolutely smashed it at Glasgow's hydro tonight so I would love to see them get a pyramid slot! Light show was unreal. 

[Callum_96]

I've got 2 tickets for sale for their Birmingham show next Wednesday if anyone's interested, can't go anymore 

[Glastobuddy]

They headlined SW4 in August and were superb on what is possibly the worst stage for accoustics anywhere.

Have to be on after dark too as the lighting they use is immense.

[jonodillieono]

I seen them last night and they were absolutely fantastic, I'd much prefer an Other headline slot than a Pyramid sub due to the lights.

I did get speaking to a roadie though who told me that the only reason they're back together is a quick cash grab as Maxi Jazz needs the money to fund that new band of his to the extent that they're trying to save as much money as possible on the tour. All the lighting rigs are bought 2nd hand from Depeche Mode's and The Prodigy's last tours and usually the crew get like t-shirts saying "Faithless Crew" with a design on it or something for some memorabilia but they've decided not to do that and made everyone just wear their own stuff to save money. So I assume this next years festival tour will probably be the last we see of Faithless for a while

[guypjfreak]

yea and as there at IOW there not likely to be at glasto are they ??

shame

I was about cloud 400 by the time they came on, it was absolutely euphoric

For this reason I see Glasto happening, not for the playing cash side of things but for the overall sales from it too.

Shite.

Utter shite.

Total, utter shite.

But if it floats yer boat, whatever.

Watching them on the BBC music awards. Do people REALLY want them at Glastonbury? Don't get it.

i can't believe, even after all these years, that Maxi Padd still hasn't bought himself a nice shirt to go with that DJ.

The music was fine, maxi was out of time and a shadow of his former self. Suppose you could ignore that and reach for the lazers.....
