JamboMikey Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The balcony at the Academy is great. As is the rest of the venue. It's really brilliant. Can't wait for tonight as a result. Both supports seem a bit shite to me. Especially I Am the Avalanche. I'll give them both a chance though. Same man. Not been excited for a gig like this for a long time. Any idea how long Brand New have been playing for on this tour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I only know they did an hour and 45 for their second London date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMikey Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Not bad. I'm hoping just Jesse closes with Soco Ameretto Lime tonight ala this: I might even have to find somewhere in Glasgow beforehand where I can sample that tasty beverage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll usually only give the main support act a chance, the first one tends to be shite so I go a bit later in the hope of missing it... Sadly caught Logan once supporting Alter Bridge and every crap band supporting Fozzy at the Cathouse. Managed to avoid Joan Jett though! Think I'll phone the Academy and see the running list for Thursday; the first support are a band from Birmingham who on Youtube sound no better than a band of students playing in their parents garage. May give Halestorm a chance as they are a band that at least I've heard of... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bushel o' Bricks Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Kerrang tour was pretty sick...While She Sleeps were the best band of the night for me. Pure passion, spirit and energy, and it felt so personal with the small group of diehard fans screaming along and moshing at the front. Just a pity their set was so short. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 They tore the fucker down. Tommy Gun was one of the most amazing songs I've ever seen. Seventy Times 7 was a bit special. Soco was a nice surprise. Archers was the best song of the set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Oh, I meant to mention last night. I Am the Avalanche were fucking horrendous. Like seriously bad. I thought my ears were going to fall off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMikey Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I never seen either of the supports. They both seem a bit shite. Only downside to last night was the pricy of the bevvy. Daylight robbery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCaleyGoBallistic Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Agreed with JamboMikey and DomDom, Brand New were absolutely superb, one of the best gigs I've been to in a long time. Just a shame my ankle's badly swollen so I had to stand and admire from afar rather than going mental up at the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight robbery. The X-Certs weren't bad, I Am The Avalanche were a bit shit though. Surprisingly large crowd there to see the support though, usually it's pretty empty for the first support act but a lot of people seemed to be fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The Xcerts were a bit dull from what I seen of them, but it was inoffensive stuff. Didn't mind it. I Am the Avalanche sent me into a downward spiral of despair. Thank f**k Brand New pulled out Devil and God stuff right off the bat or I'd never have been won back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The Academy is extortionate for drinks. It was over four quid for a can of cider at the Justice gig the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyTON Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 With respect, your mate is a moron. She tends to like people who can sing, which rules out Brand New. The lead singer sounds like someone has just punched him and broken his nose. I suppose when you are going to hear two people who actually can sing like Lzzy Hale (not a fan of Halestorm but they were really good) and Brent Smith then him being tone-deaf would have been more evident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
