mjw Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I first went to T in 1999. The place was most definitely drug free back then. Honest.... Must have cleaned it up cos I was swedgered out my nut for The Prodigy in 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Not like he's the only success overseas though. Shitloads of DJs go over the world and pull big crowds. It's not like it's some thing that just happens in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Aye, The crowd they got was mental, you would think they were headlining I think they're too divisive and nowhere near as much of a global pull (I'm not sure if they've ever toured abroad). You get c***s like me who'll lap up anything they serve, and you get people who despise them. Seen a bit on tv pyro everywhere Yeah, I saw one of my mates' videos.

Couldn't see the stage They seem to have some sort of cult following at T and they always play a blinding set, it feels like they only place they could go from here would be to headline but as you said, they're not that big a pull. It's a strange situation with them though, they've got a proper devoted fanbase who'll go to every gig they put on, and they were able to sell out Heaton Park, but i just think they've been stuck at the O2 Academy type level for years now, and i'm no sure if they'll go past it. They'll keep releasing albums that'll do OK but it feels like they'll be forever stuck in the sub headlining slot. I actually think they're probably more popular in Scotland than anywhere else tbh, maybe barring Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think they're probably more popular in Scotland than anywhere else tbh, maybe barring Manchester. That second paragraph's just about spot on. The crowd last year was like nothing I had ever seen before (and I genuinely don't think I'll go to a gig that'll come close to it). If this fifth album doesn't go down a storm, though, I don't think they'll ever step up to headlining and playing at arenas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 They're a decent band, they stay out the headlines far too much to ever go up a level though. Get caught snorting chi off a monks bald heid, they'd be headlining within two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I don't think they'll be far away from that level soon if they continue to grow as a live act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
