  1.  

    Apparently the final co-headline slot at Reading is heavily rumoured to be Biffy Clyro + Fall Out Boy, not really my cup of tea :chuckle:

     

    That would be a really strange choice, as Biffy headlined only 3 years ago and Fall Out Boy were 2 or 3 slots below them when they did. Apparently it's the strongest rumour currently though :stunned:

  2. OK, maybe the piano riser failed. So then play a different song. Would anybody complain if they had to hear Citizen Erased instead of USoE?

     

    Simply cutting the song knowing most people wouldn't notice anyway is still just laziness.

     

    They'd still need the piano to play Citizen Erased.... but yeah, no reason why they couldn't have played another song to make up for the lack of piano song.

  3. So what about Nothing But Thieves playing in Manchester on 2nd Apr, the same night they're now supporting Muse in Birmingham? I was offered tickets to go to that but had to turn it down cuz I already had my Muse tickets. Bit harsh on their fans if they cancel that show to support Muse dontcha think?

     

    They'll probably reschedule it to another date. That's what Arcane Roots did with their tour dates last year when they were asked to support Fightstar on the same dates.

  4.  

    So realistically, I'd say one of the three will play. Two would be very strange. Three absolutely bonkers.

     

    It's looking like the 'bonkers' lineup could actually be happening :LOL:

     

    Inb4 it's Coldplay, Bastille and Alt-J or some shit :rolleyes:

  5. I still think Steven Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase. should've been nominated, but I guess it's too obscure? :stunned:

     

    Definitely too obscure in America. Even in the UK I think it was barely acknowledged by mainstream music awards and media.

  6. Anyway, actually perfect (+ balanced?) two nights at an indoor venue like Alexandra Palace, Barrowland etc:

  7. I don't know why but I never took the "sleep with" line in Dead Star to literally mean sleeping with someone. I think I read at some point that DS was heavily influenced by the political climate around and immediately after 9/11, so I guess I assumed there was some political inference in the lyrics. To me, it sounds like Matt's asking why you would take sides with a government that doesn't seek to protect it's own people (or something like that) but using the analogy of a relationship. Kind of the opposite of Drones (the album), now that I think about it :LOL:

     

    I might be reading too much into this but that's my interpretation of the line and why I never thought it sounded weird or rapey :p
