they are desperate to sell those tickets, wonder how many of the 120000 have been sold, i reckon only half

dam mcd, they should get the pixies to play oxeygen thing or vicar st or ambassador

Yipee, the thrills. :rolleyes:

Sorry, but i just think alot of their stuff sounds the same. Its probably just the singers voice i dont like.

But yeah, tickets arnt doing that well. oh well, I just means less people trying for the pit.

gah was hoping for the frames, i really hate the thrills but lotta people like em so might make the atmosphere a bit better and also something to argue bout on the day!

God if this gig didn't suck enough already it surely does now.

raven136

a friend of mine works in arecord store and says according to ticketmaster 80-90,000 tickets have been sold.Its adecent line up and now the frames should be added as well

funky penguin

You have to wonder who it was that actually bought the Thrills' albums, cos nobody I know likes them.

rubadub

more bands=shorter sets

i hear the pixies are playing brixton academy and some other festival with the strokes. maybe there is a chance of gig with just them afterall

Agreed.

adonis

crap frames
yeah they are seriously useless, ive heard a lot of their stuff, and never liked them.
the thrills are ok, they have some good pop/rock tunes
im looking forward to singing along to santa cruz,

raven136

I cant believe you people don't like the frames.Easily one of the most energitic and exciting live bands around and they combine great tunes with great lyrics and they havea really impressive front man.Altogether a band to proud of

adonis

they've just never done anything thats worth getting a little excited about.
they are pretty mundane to me.,..
the pixies though, there is a band

comet

I like them but wheres the magic of seeing a band if they turn up playing every barn in the land and supporting any big act. If U2 played here as much as they do we'd be sick of them thats all, why don't they go away and hide for a year or something. They are touring the states at the moment with Damien Rice i think, now he is one over-rated act.

I don't understand where you're getting the word energetic from in relation to the frames...

raven136

dergin x.....seriously dude have you seen them play live?They are seriously energitic and exciting

ferdi

when you ring Meteor's customer care line and you are put on hold , the music played is....THE THRILLS. - they are sheit bland elevator music.

adonis

02 used to use leftfield as their hold music..therefore, your argument doesnt draw much water with me.

i doubt its their fault that meteor play one of their songs as hold music.

plus, beethoven, bach, wagner and mozart are all used as hold music.

do you doubt their musical credentials ?

ferdi

no but it just proves the point that the thrills' music has absolutly no edge to it - they are ment to be a pop rock band - not classical, eg: motzart etc.

they have no fun beats, no diversity in their songs, no originality, no personality, no soul, they have nothing to say, they are wet and bland, they have nothing to recommend them....their bass player is good....thats about it.

the thrills are just like any of the pop groups anywhere, just they happen to actually play their own instruments.

as for leftfield being used as hold music, frankly i'm shocked.

raven136

The beach boys wrotr basic classic pop tunes yet they were regarded by most as brilliant.Just because the thrills dont wrote "rock"music per se does not necessarily mean they should be regarded as bland and boring.
They write nice fun pop tunes and thats fine by me

adonis

i dunno about you lot, but if i ever had a band, i would never ever aim to have
fun beats
that just sounds like happy house or anything,
good point about pop songs being all they are..
what do you expect anyway ?

lad12

just f*ck off hehe

okay you dont like them but they're tickets sell out within hours so there must be something good about them.
pavement tune, revelate, fitzcarraldo, live forever all energetic, lots more!

smelly girl

Whinge, whinge, bitch bitch.
Well i'm not going because i think "(insert band name)" are crap because whinge whinge bitch bitch.
I'm going to sit on me bitchin arse all day instead listening to "(insert band name)" because i in my superior knowledge of music refuse to listen to any other drivlle that, SHOCK,HORROR!!, other people would dare listen to.
Everyone knows thet if more than ten people start to like a band, well obviously
they are crap. And if anyone who happens to be younger than me, or even worse, a (shudder) teeenager, even tries to disagree with me, well obviously theyre too inexperienced with the world to even know what year the pixies formed in.
tut, darn kids, tut, liking music. hummp.

"they've just never done anything thats worth getting a little excited about.

exactly!

as for smelly girl just coz i don't know the year the Pixies formed does't make me appreciate their music less, ok so im not a die hard fan but how can i be if they were before my time...........

i bet the beatles/hendrix/stones/etc were long before your time, does that mean you cant apprecite their music.....nothin wrong with bein a teenager..........although soon not to be one anymore.

get a life and stop moanin about others moanin

its called hypocrisy, you smelly hypocrite

how dare you compare beach boys and the thrills. the beachh boys were original and fun, he trills are a lame excuse for a surf pop band abd the most second rate attempt to copy the beach boys' style i've ever seen.

i have been in a few bands, i meant 'fun beats' as in 'rhythms which do not make you want to go to sleep', the whole make-up of their songs is just so terribly puritan with each one of their songs sounding extremely similar.

dont get me wrong, i have listened to the thrills and thought....'oh, thats nice' but then 2 mins later i've totally forgotten it

TrickyRicky

i concur

Ro: maaan!

Sarcasm, I presume.
