Scooby_Doo Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 10 hours ago, MEADOWXI said: Seeing the Zutons in December, they supporting Paul Heaton on his tour. Last time I saw them they were supporting REM @ Loch Lomond, mostly want to see them so I can scream at folk 'this is what the song Valerie should sound like, not being butchered by that warbling Bint Winehouse'. Saw them at the Barras far too long ago, and I recall the lead singer introducing Valerie as 'our fucking song', so perhaps he didn't like that version. On a related note, the Zutons' sax player has the same co-ordination on stage as the aforementioned singer, i.e none at all. Also, I will also be at the Paul Heaton gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(very Scousely) then Valarie kicked in. We must have been at the same gig. I'll say 2005. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 13 minutes ago, Spyro said: You got me on ignore or summat I was too lost in 00’s nostalgia to thoroughly go over every post. I apologise. I remember their song “good for nothing” from their 2011 album was played constantly and was so laughably awful it was almost like an incomplete demo yet it was getting constant airtime. I assume too many people complained about how awful it was and they were fired off into the sun not long after. The issue with most these bands was that they poured all their energy into their first album to get big and then spend a year or so touring and getting high on their own supply but then when it comes to writing a second album their energy is completely different and they can’t follow it up. Look at likes of hard fi, pigeon detectives, wombats etc - they’re singing about boozy lifestyles and chasing girls that hang around shitty pubs which is a why people related to them, After a year or so has passed they have got semi famous they aren’t in the same mindset as they were before and are hanging about in different circles so find it difficult to release new material that still appeals to their original audience. Arctic monkeys first album was similar and lots of songs were about the Sheffield club scene but they were able to change their style with the second album, even if a lot of people didn’t like it they clearly knew they had to progress with their music rather than just be people pleasers which is why they are still headlining festivals nowadays. That said oasis and their founding members have been churning out the exact same music for 30 years now and nobody seems to want to see the back of them so who knows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Could lump Radiohead in here perhaps. I know Thom ended up doing his solo stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia Gentile Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 BMX Bandits - not sure if they faded away, split-up or are still around. Not heard from them for years, whatever the reason. Not quite the criteria but Tool just f**k off and bring out a new album every 8.9 years or something daft like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
