Sometimes you seem to pride yourself on your lack of knowledge about current music,
whether its shit or not, its not a sin to know these things too in my opinion.

what time are Large Mound due on stage before Mudhoney by the way?

 

[Anthony]

Sometimes you seem to pride yourself on your lack of knowledge about current music,

don't know where you got that idea from.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Don't you like Marillion?

I like Marillion too.

 

[clonan attack]

neither do i actually.
nah just when ya said bout how the hell would you know bout AF being on before U2, its not that unthinkable to have read or heard that
and then i think (could be so wrong here) you said there wasnt ANYgood bands on the oxegen bill 2005?

i didnt enjoy oxegen 2005 much but there was several very good new bands there
(magic numbers. death from above 1979, eagles of death metal, brendan benson)

then again i might have made that up, im too lazy to dig through old threads.
my bad if so

i did not know that.

i've bought quite a few 2005 albums y'know.

 

[clonan attack]

Marillion greatest hits doesnt count

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I like Marillion too.

ive only got misplaced childhood. anything else worth checkin out?

 

[Stan Bowles]

I'm far more interested in what time I should get to the village to see the mound, any ideas Anthony?

[RSJ]

Eh?

 

[Anthony]

Go straight for the latest album Marbles. Their best in years but as always with Marillion, ignore all singles.

I don't know what time we're on at on Thursday, doors are 8 i think so probably around 8.30. We won't be playing for too long so try not to be late.

 

[Wilbert]

As if i'd know that!

I wasn't saying that you would. Just a fact, ma'am.

 

[Wilbert]

Tony and Willy! Fight back the alleys!

Then the fight suddenly ends as they see each other's Jellyfish teeshirts and do the "secret Jellyfish hand signal"

Snakybus, he speak the truth.
Anthony, as long as we have Jellyfish we can get through this Arcade Fire nonsense because whether you prefer Marillion or Arcade Fire, one thing we can both agree on is that neither are as good as Jellyfish.

 

[phil.b]

No resemblance?.. the whole chiming, widescreen, emotive anthemic thing is extremely U2. The instrumentation may be more interesting but the formula is quite similar. I'm not saying this is a bad thing (I like most of Funeral).

Hmm. ok, well they do both share the anthemic, emotive thing. Hadn't seen that. But if that's the criteria for being like U2, surely you could compare half the world to U2?. I reckon their Harmony, lyrics and song structures are very far from U2, their a lot more unique than most, especially U2. U2 have been stuck in same song formula for years. Could never imagine a band like U2 writing Cold Wind or Tunnels or pretty much anything on Funeral to be honest...
Oh and I wasn't saying you thought they were crap, that was in referance thread starter...

That's the closing line in my movie about music lovers that's set in a mental home. The credits roll as hysterical screaming spreads rapidly through the home to the tune of 'The King Is Half Undressed'

 

[MDR]

Madness.

Now there's a band.
