    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I don't know nuffink about them. Do I have the motivation to find out, that's the question....

    Aren't they Scottish?

    Edit: a little trip to the rest of this thread has revealed that yes, they are :D

    i think they class themselves as such but the guitarist blokey was definitely from Yorkshire.. but they formed and started up here and i know the singer is Scottish

    yes is the answer :rolleyes: :D

    Their new record is excellent and is my favourite album thus far this year.

    Just hope I can get in intime to see them.....awesome.....it's going to be legendary :D

    Yeah, my first impression is 'yawn' as well... Their songs are just background music at best. Regardless, I've downloaded an album or two...it's always better to at least have a clue about a band you're seeing...even if it is just the opening act.

    Interpol are opening a show/s...pity they're not doing Wembley, they're a million times better than Idlewild.

    Whatever, the open is always a numb experience anyhow, you just stand waiting for it to be over so PJ can get up there...

    I'd be saying 'yawn' if Interpol were opening.....they're one of the dullest bands I've ever heard!

    I'm glad to see at least one or two folk besides myself are pleased about Idlewild opening :)

    i dont know who first said they didnt get on with pearl jam on tour. here's an itnerview excerpt i read with the bass player at the time of the tour

    Q- Maybe it was the exalted feeling of leaning on the piano on the stage where Idlewild were to perform later on, as I had a burning desire to delve into the topic of their live sound. They have toured with Pearl Jam and did a friendly and low-key acoustic tour, what did they take as a band from those experiences?

    A- "Touring with Pearl was the greatest three weeks in my careers as a musician. They are humble guys who write songs how they write songs, simply. We loved doing the acoustic tour and showcasing our new material in venues we had never played before."

    Q- I couldn't resist enquiring as to whether or not it was much different opening for Pearl Jam than touring with Coldplay, a pleasure that has also been theirs in the past? A wry smile preceded the amiable Irishman's reply;

    A- "Well, I mean Coldplay haven't been going as long so they don't have hardcore fans in the sense that Pearl Jam do. We really admire Eddie Vedder and his band they are so self contained, when you are that big you can afford to do it all by yourselves and ignore outside influences."

    doesnt seem to dislike pj

    thanks for that! Sounds like they enjoyed PJ for sure.

    Ditto on every point!!!

    I also REALLY hope Cornell puts in an appearance - he's playing London a few days after, so he may well be in the country!
