Is there a better live band on the planet than the Foo Fighters... NO Brilliant

Preferred the National earlier.
Grohl learned from the master Kurt Cobain, saw nirvana steal the show at Reading 1990. I find Foos music a little tedious, but it Defo feels like a worthy headline set.

If you want "tedious", just call up Radioshed on catch up.

If you want "cheesy" call Foo Fighters up. It's like "rock music" by numbers

Of course they are.

Watching alt j.

Just about to watch Alt-J on the internets.

Btw, as much as Winstonswhite is trying to poo on the thread, he sorta' has a point. Guitar music has suffered a dearth of creativity for about a decade, now. Hip-hop and electronic is the vanguard of creativity. Listen to Kendrick Lamar then listen to the Foo's and tell me where music is truly going. Rock music is dead, IMO. (Or to be more precise hip-hop is the new rock music, i.e. confrontational, aggressive, challenging the establishment).

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 11:49 pm

Can't wait to listen to Kendrick Lamar.

get your point to a degree, but live that sort of stuff doesn;t stand up...a good live band is pretty hard to beat. and the Foo;s have been the best headline act ive seen in years, ....

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 11:53 pm

Guitar music always goes sterile. In the 80s it was shite. The 90s it was shite post oasis say 97-2000 Then the strokes gave it one almighty kick up the arse the libertines helped it until Arctic monkeys arrived. The thing is people try and copy without ability. Take courteeners, kasabian , shite etc.

Wouldn't disagree in terms of live performances. Even the Stones are still a brilliant live act.

'Tallica (another guitar band) at the MEN Arena years ago is probably the most complete live performance I've seen, and they haven't released a worthwhile studio album since 1988.

The Foos are great fun but just cannot compare to Nirvana.Manchester 91 now that was a gig.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 12:30 am

everything is a swamp of unoriginality, no class at all on display, corporate rock for sales reps and camp followers.

Music snobbery is the worst kind. Other people like all kinds of different stuff and that by no means impacts your enjoyment of what you like. You are not forced to listen to anything.

Saxoman · Post by **Saxoman** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 1:05 am

Its not 'hip hop', it's 'grime', very London orientated, and its not for me. Think it carries a very negative worrying message for youth.

Tooled up fam, blud..? FCK off.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 1:05 am

on the contrary, we are forced, hence the obsession with mainstream dollops when there is a myriad of diverse music out there but the marketing men haven't got round to flogging it to us yet.

Maybe in the 70s when Top Of The Pops, Radio 1 and the record printers told people what was popular but in the digital internet age you are fee to seek out whatever the hell you like.

That's how my Spotify playlists can include a song from the US Civil War and Pendulum.

It's possible to appreciate an underground hip-hop musician whilst also enjoying Glasto's headliner. You're acting like a f.ucking troglodyte, WEC.

edit-beaten to the point.

Yes I well remember Elvis promoting and encouraging gang violence..

The criticism of Elvis was to do with overt male sexuality.

I'm just watching Elvis singing on Vintage at the moment, unfortunately too old to have an axe to grind, though I do find Viagra helps.

I've posted links to Charles Mingus tunes on this forum. By what stretch of the imagination can that be considered following the herd?

You're a lunatic, WEC. Honestly, you're absolutely nuts. And cheers for everyone who has attempted to ruin this thread by telling other posters they are apparently beneath them, too. This thread, on here and back on ClaretsMad back in the day, is hijacked by arrogant dickheads wanting to spread misery every single year. It's becoming boring. Just **** off to a cricket thread or something. How can you all be so joyless?

little value in calling me an idiot, then proceeding to follow up with bargain basement 6th form embarrassing rant. I've looked at your puerile comment and shrugged .

F-uck me - what is thread about ?

Glastonbury is a festival of different music for different tastes.

Music is one of the most individual things that exists - anybody who criticises another persons taste in music just because they might not like it themselves is frankly a bit mental.

The only exception to that rule is of course Sir David Bowie where anyone who does not like his music is of course equally mental !!
