LostProphets getting arena-sized

I thought lostprophets were shit at reading. i saw them 2 years ago and they used to be amazing!

dont see why everbody suddenly hates them, but anyway, seen them at ozzfest couples years back and the sound was screwed and from what ive read the sound was fucked up at reading AND leeds
guess the sound guys hated them too :-/

I liked Lostprophets, but they've got boring, the problem with their albums is that they have a couple of classic tracks and then ten tracks of filler.

And they were crap at Leeds. Boringasfuck. Them and 50 cent were easily the worst performances ofthe weekend.

Dragonninja and Burn Burn are still examples of perfect rock tunage though.

At Reading they werent amazing but then they werent bad either in my opinion. The first album I thought was really good, havent bothered getting the other one though!

Wrong Lostprophets are atrocious. There's actually barely any difference really between them and Busted. And I have listened to their albums, before I get beaten up by a load of Welsh emoers. I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON! AT ONCE! 'is restrained by men in white coats'

The most obvious difference between Lostprophets and Busted is that Lostprophets have sillier haircuts. And t(w)attoos. And they wear more pink. And scarves. When the weather's warm.

Yeah, but Brutal Deluxe....how bad were they? Big fuck-off electric drumkit, wanky war paint, unbridled crappery, the lot.

Cheerio,

Ian

Whatever happened to the LostProphets? They had an original first album that hardly struggled to prove nu metal was dead and that a new breed of rock was imminent. And so with baited breath we waited to see what the next offering would be and it came in the form of start something, which is shit.

Put simply they sold out, to mainstream demons who demand they should sound like this and wear this.... They may not be constructed by the record company but they sure as hell are acting like it with their fashionable haircuts (twatty mullets) and stereotypical metal tattoos.

Every release after the fake sound of progress has been shite, each single progressivley worse than those before.

Where is the potency and anger of the first album?

I guess with any music the proof lies in the performance which like their second album was also shit. Glastonbury may be a haven for hippies and all the avant guarde music you can fit in a tent in a field but LostProphets proved that being so up your own arse just isn't cool.

Their performance was awful and their renditions of previous songs from the first album that showed just how good they once were, were terrible.

As for headlining stadiums, give it a miss, save the money and go and buy Glassjaw's 'Everything you ever wanted to know about silence'. You might learn a thing or two about how metal should be

i think everybody's noticed it.

it's still a good tune though.

The funny thing is they are strying to claim that this is their first album proper and the first was a demo.

I liked their "demo", but I think Start Something is over-produced wanna-be-on-american-radio shite. They still try live, but when the songs are half speed, there's not much they can do.

But yeah on the pile of "used to be good".

Dude what the hell on you on about? The new album is wannabe American pop rock bullshit that deserves nothing but the disrespect it cries out for.

Ok the fashion thing, touche, you got me, everyone wants to be fashionable, right? but the point i was trying to iterate is that their new album sucks and so does their new 'punk rock' image.

Their first album thrust them into the same category as glassjaw but the second release saw them side by side with Good Charlotte and all this other American teenage angst ridden pop/rock. I was a fan of the first album, it was quality, but what happened?

and the 1st album was wannabe american pop metal - nothing anywhere even close to being near to anything even slightly Glassjaw - which is why I don't understand your current stance

they never bought in to anything TO sell out
they are the same now as they ever were

just tell me exactly when Lee wasn't so damn pretty pulling his rock god moves on the monitors
tell me when Jamie wasn't posing about on some peripheral paraphernalia in stupid clothes
doesn't Ian look exactly the same now as he did before except he has got a couple more tattooes

you see?

I like Lostprophets. I think it's more a case of it's now fashionable to hate them. They can't help being attractive, what do you want them to do? Slash their faces? It's each to their own, how they dress and how they look shouldn't detract from the music. I enjoy them, I think they're fantastic musicians and I think they put on a good show at Leeds.

i think they are all pretty ugly but hey what do i know im not a girl.

No to what, shall we play another crap tuneless song. If so, right on sista!

Maybe because their new album sucks dirty milk from the devil's flute?

Burn Burn...ripping off the intro to "Mother Mary"? Discuss.

Colin Doran's rap in "Falter"...never again please, but good for a one off laugh.

Lostprophets only to sellout all the dates on tour due to the fact Head Automatica are now supporting? You damn right they will.
They weren't even selling out standing at Hammersmith till HA got announced.

Well, I agree with the people at the beginning of this board. I saw them a Glastonbury, they were shit.
I went along to see them as they are the only heavyish band at the festival. Can't believe how bad it was, I kept waiting for a tune, and there wasn't one! Even Sinobi Vs Dragon Ninja was crap, and I like that. I dragged my mate along to to see them, I was embaressed I did!

I like the Lostprophets second album over the first. I dunno why, I just do. Probably because I thought Still Laughing from "Fakesoundofprogress" was a really shit song and I like the entire new album.
