  • Those are big venues. Big big venues.

    I detest this band more than I've ever detested anything ever.

      but life's too short to be full of hate. Go out and have some fun.

      • Bigger venues = bigger body counts

  • I hate this band

    worst live show ever, at least 3/4 of it was mimed... rarely do the band play their own instruments live. Not to mention the fact they lack charisma... gawd I hate them so much!

  • Number 1 album?

    Your're fucking kidding me? Sometime I despise this country.

  • Instead of saying 'physical versions'

    Can we say 'physical releases'?

    After Adam and Joe, this makes me chuckle every time.

    Thanks.

  • might just be me

    and its probably been said before, but... doesnt that video just mercilessly rip off the seven nation army video?

  • I nearly threw up while watching them perform

    at Glasto on TV, and then afterwards Mark Radcliffe (I think) enthused that their performance "... reminded me of Prince."

    *Massive. Stunned. Silence.*

    • It's not a bandwagon

      There's a legitmate reason to hate them: they are shit.

  • I don't like that song.

    I doubt I will like the others.

    Final dismissive, she isn't even that fit.
