Arcade Fire...
« on: Friday 2 February 2007, 10:44:44 PM »
saw them last night @ Porchester Hall in London and it has to be said that they were on FIRE themselves! They did a lot of new stuff which went down well with a few favourites from Funeral thrown in. Whilst the new stuff isn't a million miles away from their earlier stuff, the portents are good for a decent 2nd album. If you get the chance to see them live (they're playing Glasters this year I'm informed :)) take it as you won't regret it.
POWER OUT.

P/S - bumped into Michael Eavis ( with daughter along with Chris Martin & other members of PlayCold) in the pub before the gig. He said that the Stones would'nt be doing the festival this year but that he'd booked Iggy to play ;D

The new album leaked a week or so ago, not quite as good as Funeral imo. The new version of No Cars Go is fantastic though.

I didn't think the new version of No Cars Go was that different from the old. maybe loses a little with the extra polish, too. the album's okay. Funeral set the bar too high, though.

I was a die hard Funeral fan.

But Neon Bible has grown and grown on me.  It's excellent.

Black Mirror is some opening track.

The glasto version is good.  One of the few highlights at this years Glastonbury.

Dunno about that. There's so much music out there that there's an almost endless supply of good stuff, imo.

Neon Bible is s****, tbh.  Funeral had a few good tunes.

Terribly overrated band, imo.

Hence the Coldplay comment.

All bands have their haters, the most popular bands have the most vehement haters.  And the "overrated" stuff?  I hate that s****.  Should people STOP liking them so their popularity corresponds with their talent?  :rolleyes:
