Holy Cow! Blur, Stone Roses and Postal Service all back together. I know you guys mentioned it, but yeah that's incredible. The other group that I think is amazing that is reunited is Jurassic 5. That's insane. I thought they were done for good as well. The two groups I have no interest in seeing (one of which will insure that more a-holes than normal will be there) would be Phoenix, and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Part of me is scared that it will just be a hologram image of these bands.
Phoenix was good there a few years ago, but I'm not interested in seeing them again. Never been a fan of RHCP either for some reason, I don't mind them... just kind of indifferent. I was happy to see Flea playing with Thom Yorke in 2010 though.
Yeah, I don't hate Phoenix. I just don't have any real interest in them. I bear them no ill will at all. I do respect Flea as a musician. I hate some of his musical choices, but him playing with Thom Yorke is definitely cool.
I wish i got to see John Legend and the roots live.. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/228nRD7mkCw?list=PL5FB5FC2B4E65A40A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I saw New Order last summer in Croatia. They're old, fat and slow, Sumner can't even sing anymore, but oh do they have some classic beats. So it was a solid concert, despite being vocally underwhelming. Btw, you should all go and see Sigur Ros. Their live performance is out of this world.
This is a good thing. And actually Skrillex will be there. He and Boys Noize have a side project together called Dogblood, which is on the poster.
The thing that bothered me about a New Order show I saw back on the last tour where Hook was part of the band, was that Sumner often seemed happy and bouncy, and did that horrible Manchester style dancing, that made no sense with the New Order I'd come to know and love. That being said, some of their music had continued to be decent. I haven't listened to anything without Hook though.
I guess, but I really like Bassnectar too. But I never understood the hate for Skrillex, he seems like a really nice guy.
