  1. I'm guessing it'll be released later in the UK so it probably won't get advertised here for a while yet. I'm certainly interested in seeing it when it does though.

    I saw a trailer for it when I went to see Righteous Kill.

  2. Nerf Herder :shifty:

    Hell yes. ¬_¬ How many other bands do you know that can build a career on a two minute instrumental? :P

    Were they the guys who did the Buffy theme?

    Them and They Might Be Giant's Malcolm In The Middle Theme has to be a glory time for themes, up with the times of The Raccoons and The Poddington Peas.

  3. Sounds shit to me. Hopefully it isn't.

    ... have you even heard any of the album yet? What on earth makes it 'sound shit' when you haven't heard it?

    The "R&B" part, I assume

    R&B, Timbaland producing, that's enough to make it sound shit. Of course, it may surprise, but it doesn't look good.

    What they said.

  4. Yes,. but how many albums can you name that have come out that has 7 top 40 singles off one album?

    There are only a few I can think off. Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell being the main one and he has only released three albums ever.

    Bat out of Hell, the debut album which had been four years in the making, has sold over 37 million copies. After almost 30 years, it still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually, and stayed on the charts for over 9 years. Each of the seven tracks on the album eventually charted as a hit single.

    All I'm saying is it doesn't matter what you think of Nickelback..all that matters is the charts and the charts don't lie...

    OK, to start with Meat Loaf has released a boat-load of albums. 10 studio albums & 5 live albums.

    Also to say that only the charts matter in a thread about Metallica, whose reputation is based on their first 4 albums, which didn't start bothering the charts in the least bit until 'Master Of Puppets' is frankly astonishing.

    Also the charts don't lie? Try telling that to Slipknot or The Sex Pistols.

    Nickleback are never going to considered a leading band, because they're music is boring and shite. At best they'll be remembered for having a couple of soft rock songs that for a few weeks people enjoyed, before they saw through the fact that it's just a fucking chorus and rightly resigned it to DFS adverts.

    Edit: Also the last album to stay in the charts as long as the current Nickleback one is Shania Twain's Come On Over. Brilliant.

  5. He revels in the whole 'we get the questions beforehand, so I've got ages to come up with something shocking to say for cheap laughs' thing, surely.

    He hardly lets anyone else have a go in the 'Things you'll never hear' round.

  6. As reviews seem to be the way to go:

    Friday

    Jubilee- S'alright. Went to see them because one of them was in Nine Inch Nails once. Trent seem to have got him into those drugs thingys.

    Phil Jupitus- Only saw a little bit. He said 'cunt' a lot. Pretty funny.

    Dizzee Rascal- Shit. Awful sound quality. I've never felt so middle class in my life.

    Serj Tankian- Pretty good. Only knew the 'hits'. Apparently so did everyone else. Had some sound issues too.

    Biffy Clyro- Fucking insane. Loads of little kids where left crying from the moshes. Really hurt my knee, which left me having to be selective about who to mosh to from now on.

    Queens Of The Stone Age- Really, really dull.

    Pennywise- Thought these would be Less Than Jake. They weren't. They were rubbish.

    Rage Against The Machine- SO FUCKING AWESOME. Possibly the best thing ever. Didn't play Down Rodeo though :(

    Saturday- Lameday

    The King Blues- Awesome, awesome, awesome. Chants of 'One more song' for ages afterwards. Roadies were booed for removing their equipment. Go buy their album already and their new one in October.

    Cancer Bats- Didn't have any roadies. What I expected.

    Flogging Molly- Good fun.

    Bullet For My Valentine- Awful.

    Manic Street Preachers- Average. They played Pennyroyal Tea. I've never felt so working class in my life.

    Sunday- I Have No Idea What Time Bands Are On Day

    Guy before Henry Rollins (Pork & Beans or something?)- Pretty funny. Had a song about crashing on the M4. Told a story about playing that song then crashing on M4. There was a crash on the M4 this morning >_<

    Henry Rollins- Funny guy. Fuck Bush & other left wing sloganeering.

    Dropkick Murphys- Alright. Brought out loads of people I don't know.

    Mindless Self Indulgence- The guitarist is a funny guy. The singer is quite good during song. Banter is waaaaaayy too scripted. No one was moshing for this. Ruined it, it did. Never felt so old in my life.

    Feeder- Feeder-like. They played Blew.

    Tenacious D- Same old schtick they've been peddling for the last 10 years. You've seen one gig of these guys you've seen them all. Change it up guys. Probably the worst band of the weekend.

    Metallica- SO FUCKING AWESOME. Possibly the best thing ever. Was never a big fan of Metallica until then. Went absoulutely apeshit for So What.

    I was told Plain White T's were bottled off. Were they?
