    Biffy Clyro are always worth seeing :)

    Not sure how they'll handle a gig of such mega-proportions though.

    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day

    lie beside me
    i just need to say
  • cant be any worse than kanye west supporting U2.

    Wanna bet - you didn't see Little Steven open for them in the 80's...
    Live and let live
    That's what I always say

    Disappointed with Saturday, especially since we had rumours promising bands such as Klaxons, Wolfmother and Kasabian .. so when we get king chav band and a couple of Mexican buskers it's not great :(

    I really don't like The Streets. Maybe Rodrigo & Gabriela will be ok but I can't imagine they'll sound great in a stadium, I mean this is Wembley STADIUM!! :eek: .. anyone seen them live?? I just had a look at their Myspace, don't know alot about them.

    ... rather be going Sunday now :rolleyes:

    i think biffy will be pretty sweet. im a little concerned they have gone too mainstream though, particular with the anticipation surrounding 'puzzle.' i like zane lowe. it cant be as bad as paddy casey in dublin last yr, he sucked.

    who cares about the supporting acts, and muse isn't too great themselves anyway. and how can you say pearl jam can't pick opening bands. my morning jacket, sonic youth, robert pollard from this past tour. i didn't go into the show early enough to see robert pollard at the shows he was opening but i can tell you that mmj and sonic youth are both far better bands than the muse.

    pearl jam normally have good support acts but this year with linkin park ruined the 'cool' opening acts they have been playing with (sonic youth, mmj, sleater etc)... Muse are targeted at a different group of people so ofocurse you are going to get the teeny boopers who are going to like the streets.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    I have seen worse than Paddy Casey....not many mind you!

    I don't think you can accuse Biffy of going mainstream. The songs from Puzzle are just as schizoid and frantic as anything they've ever produced. And it's not like they haven't paid their dues.

    I think that now they're on a major they actually have a decent publishing department behind them.....when they were on Beggers Banquet they never did anything for them at all which is why they toured as much as they did.

    I don't think they've gone mainstream, they just have better people working for them now

    The Streets are hardly a Teeny-bopper band Zoso, although they're not great live.

    Just listen to Get Fucked Stud for evidence Biffy are still as manic as ever, the song is insane.

    Well those days are over, Muse is headlining MSG this summer, That kind of blew my mind when I heard that.

    All the five songs I have on my Winamp with Muse sucks...If five out of five songs suck, then I think I can with some kind of statistical security, claim that the band sucks...probably just as much as the opening acts
