Troglodyte Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ah, Biffy. From jerky brilliance to stadium yawnfests in 4 albums. Only seen them once live, thankfully pre-Puzzle *shudder*, very entertaining but I wouldn't touch them with a shitty stick these days. Which **** me right off, as Vertigo Of Bliss was a stonker. Yup, Vertigo of Bliss is a great album. I prefer their older stuff, but don't mind most of the more recent material. They have said that they'd be returning to a more stripped-back sound when they start making their next album. I won't hold my breath, though. I remember when Kings of Leon made such claims before releasing the abomination that was 'Come Around Sundown'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted December 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2012 bit late on that one old chap Bah! Anyone going to see Climie Fisher, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Firstly - couldn't find this thread without a search as all the posts are dated April 21 2009 Anyway, we got seats for Fleetwood mac yesterday, and this ticks three important boxes. 1. See legendary band before they quit (again); 2. See most under rated and awesome guitarist alive; 3. See hottest GILF on planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2013 And I have my tickets for Johnny Winter in April. Ticks the first two of Rob's boxes, but not the third! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 saw delray rockets last week, a rockabilly band, then the day after that saw a plethora of local bands, the best being Inertia from stafford. Next up Tim Mcgraw et al at the o2 unless something pops up this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted February 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2013 Oh and back On Topic, I went to see High on Fire at the o2 last Friday and they were pretty damned awesome. I've been to hundreds and hundreds of gigs down the years but these guys were by far the loudest band i've ever heard. Ear-bleedingly good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennet, at wolves civic supporting echobelly, easily the loudest band I have seen over the course of many gigs taking in metal to country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 ...Bennet... Bennet? Yep. Really really loud, and I have seen metallica and slayer, both purport to be amongst the loudest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Morning Glory (NYC punx, not an oasis tribute band ) for me in March/April. They start their Euro tour in England, go out to the mainland, and then come back. Sorry hope to see em twice. In the loudness stakes, my top is White Mice. Saw them in the basement of a book shop in Liverpool. They would've been **** loud anyway, but with sound having nowhere to go in those close quarters...good god. I blame the occasional ringing in my ears on that show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2013 Toss-up for the loudest band I ever heard is between Cheap Trick and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB9N2ZUxxgQ. Both bands at Leeds Poly (now Leeds Metropolitan University). And bear in mind I've stood on stage with the Keith Moon lineup of The Who. Those two were considerably louder.

I've been to hundreds and hundreds of gigs down the years but these guys were by far the loudest band i've ever heard. Ear-bleedingly good. Matt Pike is an absolute colossus! Been listening to a fair bit of Sleep stuff of late, and it's heavier than King Kong's dick! My mate went to see them (High On Fire) in Manchester, said how amazing they were. I've just had to dig his Facebook status out, to do it justice. Copy & pasted: "The most wrecked gig ive been to in years shame is its somehow turned into a weird titty bar, with only men ... The stench of overworked marriages, non existent sex lives and lacklustre jobs overwhelms, testosterone high, on a plus this is **** brutal ... High on fire destroy, manly as ****" Edited February 7, 2013 by dAVe80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Off to see The Who in Brum in June No idea why really , not a huge fan , but there are 8 of us going and we are having 2 nights on the razz in Brum as well... Ahhh yeah that will be why I'm going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 loudest band I've seen? Well Primal Scream in Maida Vale a couple of months ago was up there, probably because it was such a small room. In similar style, I saw Super Furries in the indoor market in Brecon a while back and that was full on punch in the chest loud. You could feel every bass note pass through your body. Back when I was a kiddie I went to see a band called Big Sound Authority, they weren't great, but I couldn't hear for 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Renegades in Ruby Lounge Manchester were the loudest for me. It actually hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
