I don't hate them though, they don't bring out that strong an emotion in me. Likewise I can't 'hate' Coldplay for example. It's like hating cardboard or something - it's just there and I'm not worked up about it one way or the other. Fair play to people that like 'em. They've just done a couple of nights at the City stadium up the road. Granted, a lot of the people streaming past my pod looked a bit like they buy two albums a year but so what really? I expect most of 'em had a good time. Good luck to 'em! there is something to be said for being in a big crowd of people enjoying themselves, should I ever win a Coldplay ticket in a competition I think I would go just to stand in the middle of a bunch of happy folk and bathe in their joy. I'll bet the ratio of arseholes to nice people is probably considerably lower at a Coldplay gig than some I've been to, helped by the fact that I wouldn't be so worried if someone talked all the way through a Coldplay gig btw have you seen Coldplay Wristband mystery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvD5X7m2WsM very Illuminatian

The talking at gigs thing though - kin ell, that's just getting ridiculous. That IS something worth getting in a lather about. mmmm.. lather.

Your little camera microphone, 300 decibels of sub bass is possibly beyond the puny specifications of even the mightiest Nokia .....put the bugger away 3. actually carry on, your little camera screens light up the mist like the cold bowels of hell welcoming the winterwitch, result.

Hear, hear. I've nearly come to blows on a few occasions with talkative twats, in recent years. This thread isn't really about hating bands or genres, as far as I can see - it's just about not seeing what the appeal is. Any road up; Lady Calamity has somehow blagged VIP passes for the Saturday of the Hyde Park Wireless Summer shindig. Now, I've gotta admit much of what's on offer leaves me cold. The rest are completely unknown. I'd have loved to have seen Santigold, but she's doing the Friday. Bugger. The Weeknd does appeal, though. Thanks mainly to Tonestone. But, that's the only thing really. Professor Green is an utter no-talent. Can anyone with more knowledge tell me who we should drag ourselves out of the liggers enclosure for? http://www.wirelessfestival.co.uk/line-up/

The look Vim Fuego gives the camera while saying "Chicks huh!" has made it possible to forgive all of Ade Edmundson's other stuff since.

It's very hard to convey humour, and as for fish in a barrell, it's about having a laugh. There's only so many references to Scandinavian Death Metal that a fellow can take. I've been accussed of being po-faced, ha ha!..when there are so many other more worthy examples of po-facedness on this forum! :-)
