I saw the Happy Mondays live a few years back
I only went because I thought "It's Great When Your Straight... Yeah" was great album and Black Grape had split and the Happy Mondays reformed so I thought, Why not? Then I found out why not.

Never been so cursed, thankfully
I imagine they're great live if you're absolutely munted on every conceivable drug. And in the band.

I've seen the Happy Mondays in Manchester, supported by Shed Seven
It was a good gig! I was not at all pissed as a fart, stoned and on E

All the MDMA in the world couldn't make you like Shed Seven though, surely?

I fucking love the Shed!

Possibly the worst live 'singing' voice I've ever witnessed.
Next to that Sumner wanker, anyway.

I was fucking gutted when I saw New Order live
I tried to put it down to being at Glastonbury and therefore about 2 miles from the stage

It wouldn't have made any difference.
I was near the front when I saw them at Reading and they were utterly shite. Musically they sounded OK, but absolutely zero stage presence and Sumner's vocals made Amy Winehouse in her more fucked up days sound like an angel.

I did wonder if Sumner was even trying
It's a mark of how crap they were that I fucked off to watch Kasabian before they even got as far as True Faith

You're doing it all wrong, Trotter
There must have been at least one band worth watching there?

My mates went to see the Magic Numbers

So your answer is: no
Actually, your fat guy (Romeo something?) is a pretty nifty guitarist, but I still would be looking around for another band to watch.

That's exactly what I was trying to convey
I quite liked Kasabian back then, before their shtick got tired. Decent live band too.

I'd rather eat my own poo than watch Kasabian
Then or now.

He was an arrogant prick.
The Mission were one of the headline acts that weekend. At one point he told the crowd "We don't want fucking Mission fans, we want fucking New Order fans". Cue about 2,000 Mission fans buggering off to the beer tent.

New Order are shit and Bernard Sumner is a cunt.
These are not opinions, but facts.

I agree.
I don't mind some of the earlier stuff but anything after True Faith is utter wank.
