I caught them in Southampton last night. Was way too short, they could've added 4 or 5 more songs.
Having said, they f'in rocked. Riffs to die for in ecstasy....

Caught them in Manchester tonight. VERY disappointing.
Crap sound (some bass would've been helpful), crap crowd and Astbury saying even more stupid things than ever (eg, with no irony whatsoever: 'This is show business'....Desperately pleading 'Please, please clap, c'mon, PLEASE!')
Great Tap moment when he spent half a minute trying to get his mic stand to undo before giving up and kicking it over. He was also wearing a purple tracksuit top/hoodie thing and jogging on the spot like feckin mad lizzie.
I could go on.
This is balanced against a sparkling 'Spiritwalker' and 'Sanctuary' and the odd moment when it all came together fairly tightly, but overall I was left wondering what the hell it was all about.
Hope you lot have a better time in Leeds and London.

The tix say Special Guests, but we missed 'em if they were there.
@Gripper - it's not the first gig i've been to where the bass has been non existent. Killing Joke haven't been much better. s**t sound in this day and age? Wrrrrrrrong.....

You can never have enough bass come to think of it......

Subculture sounds like a goer alright, deffo for a quid in!
I hope Astbury is a nob in Leeds, it'll increase the pleasure derived from heckles / missiles no end.

Young Tim has been in touch, asking if he should buy a ticket. I said go for it, if he changes his mind he can always meet up for a bit of Subculture later.... (that's after we have a drink in the Dry Dock);DPlanet Dave wrote:Subculture sounds like a goer alright, deffo for a quid in!

If there was in Manchester, they were off and cleared up by the time I got there at 7.55, which as doors were 7.00 and The Cult were due on at 9.00 says 'probably not'.DrDoom wrote:Is there a support band for the UK dates - if are they worth seeing ?

I don't suppose you had any luck with your 'alternative markets' research the other week did you? And what's all this 'a drink'? Yeah right, more like 'many drinks'. But you know that.
