They played the 6 Music Festival recently and were just phenomenal. I’ve seen Idles perform at an in store gig at Spillers Records. I thought they were fantastic, though interestingly not so fantastic that it persuaded me to buy the record I was supposed to have already have bought to get the ticket in the first place! I couldn’t go to a festival gig and be a kilometre back from the stage, or even to be honest, 20 or 30 metres back from the stage. That just leaves me cold I’d rather sit on the sofa and watch it on YouTube. But up close, 50 people in a room. You just can’t beat it. yeah tbh I don’t think I’d ever buy and Idles record , couldn’t see myself playing it over the Alexa in the background as we sit down for dinner , but I’d happily get drunk and bounce about in a mosh pit at one of their gigs made a gif from the screen last night , not sure if it will work , but looked fun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted June 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2022 They have a music festival just close to my house every year ('cept for pandemical rules) and this year it's twice the length - 2 weeks long! It's the biggest one in Lancashire and for once not all the acts are terrible, so I can leave the windows open this year (some of the time). Goldfrapp, Wet Leg, Elbow, Paul Weller, Richard Hawley and a few other decent acts, from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have got older I have become more receptive to his post Beatles stuff.It’s strange melodically he is brilliant,he seems like a reasonable bloke but there is something that grates .I am not sure what it is. Maybe it’s his insecurities,why would he need to acccept the knighthood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 My WhatsApp group was pinging non stop with comments about how dreadful McCartney was … thankfully I was a a gig of my own so didn’t have to suffer it was a weird gig for me tonight , the boy came with us and I don’t drink around the children ( even though he’s 17 now ) so i watched it sober and thus a different vibe than had I gone with mates and been down the front soaked in beer and sweat considering the catalogue chilli peppers were a bit short changing , played for about an hour and 40 mins total , even the encore was 2 songs and then Thank You , we love you and bang they were gone musically and visually they didn’t disappoint though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted June 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2022 I can’t believe McCartney has a performing career. He was terrible in the late 70’s and yet my timeline is full of people saying how great he is do people just accept what they are spoon fed as “good” and don’t question it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really listened to any of their stuff since Stadium Arcadium but always enjoy them live because of their back catalogue and the energy they still bring.
