I saw them at Glastonbry one year
because, you know, they were on. I don't mind their music, it's fairly inoffensive. They did put on a good show, though.
( Kroney, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:23, Reply)

I find the inoffensive nature of their music highly offensive.

this^^
"Adult pop" radio stations such as Heart and Absolute destroy music because they reward mediocrity. they design their playlists to be as inoffensive as possible to prevent switch over, they never aim to thrill or excite, just not to offend, which is shit.

Good music should always offend someone
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:27, Reply)

Inoffensive doesn't have to mean bad.
They do what they do very well. It's just that I don't like it. A massive proportion of the population do. There's no point getting your knickers in a twist over it.

Edit: In fact, I don't even not like it. I can listen to it quite happily. It doesn't make me feel anything at all.

I don't get overly upset, ther is plenty of room for all genres really
i do wish there was more radio variety though.

I figure that you and I have different criteria for what constitutes "brilliant live"

It is a good documentary, that one

I missed them at Leeds festival in 2006, I think it was
because I was off my chops and I wasn't really that arsed about their music. A few years later I listened to Binaural, thought 'this is brilliant' and have been kicking myself for missing them ever since.

I recall seeing them briefly from the top of the ferris wheel
(NB, I did actually go on the ferris wheel, it wasn't just a lolMD induced hallucination)

Only cause the little scrotes stole it from down the road and rerected it in the campsite

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:33, Reply)

I assure you there was one
it was opposite one of the little stages, possibly the unsigned stage.
(berk, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:35, Reply)

I suspect you look for something like sounding better than the album you have at home
whereas she likes something that can be easily recorded on her phone camera so that she can file it on her computer and never actually watch it again.

I fucking hate people who film concerts on their phones. I'm all for taking a couple of pictures if you're in a good spot, but why bother filming it? Adele live at the Albert Hall was on BBC3 the other night and although I'm not really a fan, when she did Rolling in the Deep it sounded like the crowd were really having a good time and there were still cunts with their phones filming not just her on stage, but other people in the crowd. Fucking cunts the lot of them.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:24, Reply)

What I really hate about that
Is when I am standing behind them, my dumb reflex is to look up and watch the stage through the screen on the back of the camera.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:46, Reply)

It's not so much staring, it just catches your view, and you stare at it for a second before thinking 'What the fuck am I doing?', before watching the band again. Then, two minutes later, it'll happen again.

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:50, Reply)

I tend to go into the mosh pit at most gigs, so being able to see the band is rarely an issue
Either that, or I find a good position towards the side
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:48, Reply)

i dunno if there are mosh pits at katy perry gigs
do you reckon i should be packing when i go?
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Mon 21 May 2012, 16:50, Reply)

I very much doubt there will be any mosh pits at Katy Perry gigs, so you should be fine.

The best way to really enjoy it is to lie down on the floor just before her biggest hit

do you think her greatest hit is firework, kissed a girl or california gurls?
