anditmakesmesmile Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 I know there’s a separate My Chemical Romance thread - but as this is, apparently, MCR self-confirming, I thought i should add it here too. https://twitter.com/mcrofficial/status/1215400459462201346?s=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Kiwi, we have a patriotic obligation to enjoy any music the Finn brothers create. So, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall an old episode of Top Gear with Clarkson driving a rental car changing the radio station & everyone was playing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be one of my favourite Glasto videos ever. It just gives me tingles every time. Might not be quite the same in Avalon admittedly, but it'd be great to see them.

Can't really see them playing Avalon because of that crowd size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turner headlined Avalon last year and I'd say he's a much bigger draw, I'm sure if he can play then so can FLC, though I'd prefer a lower slot on another stage as doubt I'd catch them at headline time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly in 2002 the fun lovin criminals turned up at the school I worked in and played a gig for the pupils. No one apart from a few knew what was happening, gear was moved into the assembly hall , senior pupils were told it was a special assembly then in came Huey and the band. Played 4 songs. We were in dreamland, Scooby snacks at assembly! Part of a music for schools promotion and seems we were chosen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite amazing, a few staff were a bit taken aback by the swearing, I Worked the stagelights. The band signed autographs, gave out posters and chatted with the pupils. The only other band we ever had before that was Gallagher and Lyle Edited January 10, 2020 by Ayrshire Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different demographic probably but they certainly were not a draw then and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are expecting a boring talk about taking drugs or road safety and suddenly Huey and the band walk through the hall. Onto the stage, announce let’s get this started and the whole place goes mental, including us staff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video posed above though makes me very very keen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiloy Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 They definitely don't need a bigger slot than avalon. I guess if you'd just started uni or something when they released that 'scooby snacks' and you thought you were in some american teen movie maybe you have some nostalgia for them but other than that they're just another one hit wonder act from the musical hinterlands of the late 90s. More famous for being that fat old guy who had a strop on never mind the buzzcocks once, and now for having the least interesting show on bbc r6. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I actually like Huey's show. The wiseguy schtick doesnt do much for me, but the selections are usually on point. Not least because he doesn't play his own music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiloy Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Fair dos. Maybe not his own stuff but I do find there is often a lot similar and it just isn't to my taste at all. This soft jazz/hiphop fusion 90s stuff, tribe called quest etc. Repetitive, smooth and exasperatingly low tempo, demanding that i chill out, and I absolutely refuse, they can all fuck off, i'm not part of their tribe and if i were a criminal i'd be a very serious one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 If you're talking about Scenario - which he played today - then...hell nah. It's a GOAT jam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
