Nah, MIke and the FNM chaps were always good about balancing the two out and keeping them separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Might have been said but Korn are releasing singles and are probably the right size. Way too niche probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still listen Gunman every now and again. They hardly penetrated the public consciousness tho, don't see it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individually they’re well established names, got some history with the festival and it sounds like they’re potentially gonna be active next year. You’re most likely right though, just seemed the best thread to link the story in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Problem with TCV would be the thousands of people turning up expecting Foos/QOTSA stuff and leaving very disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see how any Queens fans would be that disappointed, given that it sounds like it could be one of their albums. And most Foos fans are just happy to see Dave Grohl I think.

vintagelaureate Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'd love to see Them Crooked Vultures - I couldn't see them in that slot though but I could see them elsewhere at the festival - high up The Park maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t see it working like that at all. They’re two huge bands with lots of fans inside the gates and a new record would be pushed very heavily. It’s like saying most of the people who went to see TLSP on the Pyramid were there to hear Dancefloor.

TLSP have a much bigger profile than TCV, in this country at least, people are far more likely to have heard of the former than the latter. Both albums charted at #1 in the UK whereas the TCV album made barely a ripple. It would need a serious push on any new album to raise awareness beyond the two leads.

priest17 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Did TCV really make that small an impact? They were pretty big in my circles but I guess that was like 10 years ago now so I wasn't as aware of the bigger picture side of these things. I assumed no one talks about them now was because no one is expecting them to do anything else ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Grohl drums in TCV, not the lead. I think you’re misjudging this one a fair bit. Since 2009, QOTSA have gone from selling out academies to selling out Finsbury Park and Foos are still obviously huge, and JPJ does JPJ stuff I guess. All these fans have easily been able to find out about TCV, and it’s not like they weren’t prominent in 2009 or 2010 when they were doing chat shows and subheadlining Download. It really isn’t some weird niche thing that will confuse and disappoint neutrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I can’t see them being that big a draw but I stand to be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to see them again but it would have to be a set heavy on the 1st 2 albums. For reals? The two Chuck albums? I think every album they've made with Patton on the mic is superb so I'm happy that they only have one song carried over from the first two albums - We Care A Lot, which is actually on both of those albums.

I know it’s in the news at the moment because one of them didn’t rule out a reunion but Josh is working on Desert Sessions 11&12 and will then be back on QOTSA.
