s(NO)w patrol

[danbailey80]

I do agree with the above posts.

It's the one thing I would change about these boards. The tedious slagging off of the same bands. I'm not remotely offended by it. It's just rather dull. 'Oohhh snorepatrol how many fans have they got, like 4?' Nope they sell out arenas, it will be rammed and they are very popular with the Glastonbury crowd. 

Why do Snow Patrol/ Keane, who write their own songs, only produce what they want to produce, don't conform etc get slagged off but contrived, NME shite that do conform to what is 'cool' are accepted?

Are there any acts that have played that are almost objectively bad? We could hand them the crown?

I'm not offended and I'm not a Snow Patrol fan.

Why would someone that hates a band so much click on a thread of their name just to be a dick is my point, they're the ones that hate anyone else having a different music opinion to them. 

Same thing would happen if someone made a thread about Courtneerers/ Catfish etc etc, always the same people that will interject and have their say of them being shite. These are the same people that can also be found discussing at length the merits of each of Radiohead's albums and sometimes if we're lucky enough to see it even ranking them.

The thing is every band gets slagged, even the likes of Radiohead. It's just a Radiohead thread is made of a few insulting posts and a tonne of positive discussion whereas a Catfish thread is made of a few insulting posts and very little else. The problem isn't people shitting on bands it's there not being enough interest in having a proper discussion.

I think you’re taking it all a little too seriously.

And old crusty on stage gargling cider and farting uncontrollably for 60 minutes would be better entertainment than Snow Patrol

I'm not sure that anyone reads the NME.  Who are these conforming bands you're referring to?  Any examples?

[Losing my hair]

Would I be correct in summing this up as:

1. We all like different things.
2. Some posters can't accept that other people like different things.
3. Some posters take all very seriously.
4. Some posters do not

The grim spectre of The Who can never truly be discounted.

*note*

this should in no way be seen as me ‘slagging off’ The Who... I like The Who. They are a fine band with a marvellous back catalogue....

i wont get fooled again.

Mate, every time someone mentions a band like this you'll be in the thread just to chip in and be a dick. Maybe it's you that takes it all too seriously...

[Freddyflintstonree]

It's true. These forums are fucking horrendous for music snobbery.

A dick? Really? I’d suggest that if you are the sort of person who gets offended at what was a relatively benign poke at Snow Patrol then maybe the internet might not be for you.

Bloc party could be a decent replacement. I wasnt gonna bother seeing snow patrol but a big sing along to chasing cars would be pretty cool

Flipping over my table and hollering to the heavens when I see someone on the internet slating Hey Matthew by Karel Fialka.

As long as we are all in agreement that @admscott is going to ruin the entire festival for everyone, we're ok.

You do it every time any time a band you don't like is mentioned on here. Cba discussing it any more think my point is obvious. Sure I'll see you popping up again soon with some more witticisms about bands you don't care for ?

I think they will, should find out next week for sure.

if they don’t will they bump everyone up? Have bigger gaps between bands? Shuffle with other stages?
