Meh, just hada look not that keen

A bit too retro for my tastes!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:40, Reply)

be fair
not as bad as Reading. I was actually bewildered when I saw the announcement. It was like stepping back into the past

I asked my son twice if he really wanted tickets for Leeds.
He did. He normally has such good taste.

does it make me a bad person?
That even though I don't like the Libertines, a tiny part of me wants to see them live

Only if you don't throw knives.

Why not, but please throw some piss at Doherty for me

pleeeeeease!

Pissy knives FTW

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:52, Reply)

Why?
seriously, what is is about the Libertines that people thought was so good? I genuinely do not understand it, it's like people claiming that The Stooges were amazing.

Not retro enough for mine...

I really wanted to see Rammstein
in February but the tickets were £50 and I was skint.

Haha! You should introduce her to Monty

If it was Mutter, kick her in the cunt
For that album is godly.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:57, Reply)

It is indeed
I hated it when everyone starting loving Rammstein because they were on the soundtrack for XXX and then they bought the album and were like 'eh?'
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:02, Reply)

I got that album on the strength of Links 2-3-4
And absolutely loved it, was on my walkman (fuck yeah!) non-stop for months on end.

Mein Hertz Brennt is possibly the best track on there.

I concur

They're fucking terrible.
They purport to be 'heavy' but have gay keyboards.

JUSTIFY THE GAY KEYBOARDS.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:28, Reply)

nothing wrong with keyboards in metal

(beanojam isn't really Ricardo Flange, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:27, Reply)

Hammond, Rhodes, Farfisa or Wurly only.
Anything else smells suspiciously of 'Final Countdown'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:29, Reply)

balls to that
Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory and my old band.

Now THAT's how you do metal keyboards.
(beanojam isn't really Ricardo Flange, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:32, Reply)

and Textures
i fucking love that band.
(beanojam isn't really Ricardo Flange, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:34, Reply)

There's no way on God's green earth
I am clicking on a link titled 'Strapping Young Lad' - try Vipros, he's into that sort of thing.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 17:35, Reply)

heh
yeah, they never did take themselves too seriously. their drummer is so good it takes the almighty piss.

Some really good bands
And some crap ones. Iron maiden and placebo for instance. Not a bad mix overall. www.sonispherefestivals.com
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:43, Reply)

Iron Maiden are good!

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:46, Reply)

This is true

but Alice cooper and Motley Crue I can do without.

I would love to see RATM at reading, it pains me that I'm missing them again!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 16:52, Reply)

Ah, RATM, I saw them in 1993.
They've been shit since then. Face it - you've missed out and no amount of festival-going can ever compensate for those heady days of yore.

Relax Monty
let the love flow. Let Bruce in

He's the living embodiment of all that is shit about 'heavy metal'
he's the IT department nerd with the Simpson's tie and the Star Trek socks who got a lucky break. A less cool bloke you will struggle to find anywhere.

I hate his fucking guts - and those bent harmonised duelling guitars they insist on. The tights-wearing cunts.

Could just be me
but 'homo' and being uncool aren't really reasons to dislike a band

you know Monty, most of the time I respect your opinions
but sometimes you talk complete shit
