haze015 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm probably going to get a lot of hate but I didn't think Biffy Clyro was the be all and end all of live bands when they supported Muse in 2010 here. Good, yes. Great? Maybe. Well, maybe I just don't like their music enough to truly get into it and that could have been the issue. They've got bland over time (Much like Muse lol). First album or two was different and quirky back in the day, but have absolutely zero desire to listen to them any more, just feels like hard work for some reason.

eivdjo Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think Biffys music is just great. Do you guys have any opinions on a HSS strat vs SSS? I'm going to Germany for 10 days and will visit Thomann to pick up a guitar. I think I want the HSS for diversity. Simon Neil only plays single coils right?

Dominic. Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Biffy were good, crowd were a bit...tame though so kinda didn't make it as good as it could have been Y are most of the bands I really wanted to watch again not allowing BBC to stream their shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Usually it means they're putting in a substandard performance (SOAD, I'm looking at you. Lay off the pies will ya). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Judging a performance of a supporting act isn't that fair though. Still, they sounded pretty good supporting Muse two months ago in Turin Well, if I do go to the festival where they are playing here, I might have a second opinion. As far as a support band goes they were good but I couldn't justify going to their concerts or buying their music. Like I said. Probably just me.

Dominic. Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I thought their performance was pretty bang tidy actually. Iuno, maybe it's just the fact it's a festival crowd rather than their 'own'. Like that poll thing they did, where as Fabri said, like 60% of the setlists completed were pretty much just OR and Opposites. God & Satan can fuck off. I'm not even that keen on Folding Stars but all the Biffy fanbois will hate me for that because it's well emotional because it's about his mum, but so what? but yeah, massive singalongs but stuff like Glitter & Trauma and LiaP, still.

james90 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 No way They bringing back the starcaster? yeah, as well as the coronado They're in the modern player series and are $700 apparently. the specs look good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to Germany for 10 days and will visit Thomann to pick up a guitar. I think I want the HSS for diversity. Simon Neil only plays single coils right? Did a recording session recently with single coils and had planned to borrow a guitar with humbuckers and in the end, didn't need the humbuckers at all and got everything with just one guitar. Strats can do humbucking in the 2 & 4 pickup positions by the way. I gave this a watch ages ago and there is an awesome load of information in here. Some of the examples could be better done I found. But still a great video and some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds too energetic to be a 2/4 at 88 It's probably one of the nicest 5 strings I've played. Jazz on steroids, need to check out the bass eq, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
