thrillhouse188 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Used to absolutely love RHCP, saw them a couple of times in 2011, just missed the boat on Frusciante which is a shame, but they put on a couple of decent shows (for a fan at least)! Knebworth especially was great, don't know if they'd be any good now but there are certainly better alternatives, they undoubtably could fill a setlist with familiar hits though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you take such offence to the prospect of bands playing you don't like? You were on the Other Stage page yday doing the exact same thing lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utwothefly Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I saw RHCP at the O2 last time they were there, thought they were great after hearing that they are crap live!. Happily watch them again edit* definitely have the songs Edited March 5, 2019 by utwothefly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like RHCP at all just find it bizarre that it would evoke such strong reactions from someone. Literally saw you doing it yesterday on the Other Stage thread and then saying you don't do it. Can't wait for The Killers to play n you to be livid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 TBF. Jass is nowhere near the worst culprit when it comes to slagging off bands. And he's totally justified in having a pop at RHCP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From yesterday... 15 hours ago, Hugh Jass said: No no. Definitely interested in seeing The Cure and I’ve said a few times that I’m perfectly happy to see The Killers if nothing else takes my fancy. Yes I have a pop at a few (and it's always the same four or five), but then who doesn't on here? It would be pretty boring if everyone either liked the same things or just said "well they're not for me but I respect them as musicians" or some such lame shite. Why are people so precious about it? Part of the fun of this forum, and being a music fan in general, is slagging off the stuff you don't like. Do you think I'd genuinely prefer to see Di's funeral up there or was I just exaggerating for comic effect? Do you see me crying when someone has a dig at something I like? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree it would be boring if everyone liked the same thing that's exactly my point, imagine you'd just joined this site n wanted to know if Courtneers or Catfish or whoever you liked where possibly playing this year. Can tell you for sure the person would be shot down immediately. Contrast that to if Radiohead ar mentioned it'll turn into a 10 page discussion on how great they are. It's off-putting for newer/lurking users. And no, before you say it again, im not crying about it just making a point. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There back catalogue is the musical equivalent of Princess Di's funeral.. but yes, you are correct, there is far too much unnecessary slagging off of bands on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a post that suggests Adele's right with her view on taxes, Floyd not headlining in 2008 instead of Kings of Leon was a good thing and a huge Nick Cave dis and I think it'd be enough to bait him out of retirement.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just to clarify, The Killers may not be my cup of tea but they've done exceptionally well for a band fronted by a Hotel Transylvania toy that the rest of the group found in a Happy Meal. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead are an abomination. They disappeared up their own arses around 20 years ago and I find it almost unbelievable that people tolerate them. I hate them nearly as much as I hate Mumford & Sons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
