Lineup 2014

[Mouseboy11]

Man I love this riff

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm excited for the album, but people are getting a bit carried away.

I'd rather fool myself for a few more months before accepting Paramore are pretty likely to headline.

yup

Fair play.

I don't mind QOTSA but isn't anyone else a bit concerned that people are only talking about this being a hit album due to all the collaborations, rather that the band themselves just going out and making a stunning album?

Yeah, but people are obsessed with special guests and who might play with them at festivals.

Ah, I go to Leeds so special guests mean nothing to me Probably accounts for my lack of understanding. Edited March 26, 2013 by 2rare2die

[mrtourette]

I swear last year people were more interested on what special guests the Foos brought along rather than what they actually played. It's out modern society, obsessed with celeb-spotting, etc.

I hear Josh Homme was heavily into Bisto during recording if that does anything for you.

[dentalplan]

I don't think that's true, or I hadn't picked up on it at least.

If they are outright collaborations I'd be disappointed, but they won't be. Just have to wait and see. It's not like it's the first album to have guest appearances; SFTD onwards there have been plenty. Jack Black even stomped and clapped on Burn the Witch. Would be great if that's what they got Elton in to do.

Not forgetting Billy Gibbons!

People couldn't see biffy headlining last year, but this year no one argues.

Queens Of The Stone Age (in my opinion) are a much more defined band than Biffy (I love biffy).

Basically I think if this album does well, they could easily headline.

[lightning1000]

Am I wrong for thinking lullabies to paralyze is qotsa's best album?

It's the only one that I still listen too, although rated r and sftd, its more of a case of over playing them when they were first released.

I'm from the East Midlands lol, we prefer oxo here.

It's more that the collaborations might make it a more accessible/mainstream album compared to the others, not that they'll make it a better album. I do think this could be one of their best though

[the wonderwhy]

Rated R is my favourite QOTSA album.

[Gucci Piggy]

Rated R is my favourite QOTSA album.

Mine too.

[Gucci Piggy]

I meant in terms of contributing to songs, more than doing backing vocals like on SIAS

Yeah I got that, just meant I don't think he'll have as prominent a role overall as on the last two albums. Maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong though.

[lightning1000]

Well at least everyone agrees that era vulgaris is nobody's favourite

Those people were silly then. Biffy had already headlined soni, had a massive album with chart toppers in only revolutions, and the new album was alot more hyped media wise. To me it was always obvious they were gonna headline reading, and I really mean that.

I don't know about you're definition of "more defined ", but they aren't as commercial as biffy, which reading kind of has to cater too. I love Qotsa too but just because Dave grohl drums with them sometimes it doesn't make them a commercial band. Just listen to era vulgaris for gawwds sakes

I think there's a great eerie atmosphere in that album that no other Qotsa album has. Songs for the dead is still my fave because its just great great great rock songs, but lullabies is probably a close 2nd for those reasons

[Mouseboy11]

Songs For The Dead has The Mosquito Song which I absolutely love, just brilliant psych-rock.

[lightning1000]

But lullabies has medication, burn the witch, in my head and little sister.... Man I'm going to go listen to that album again now haha

Alot of people were expecting Biffy to headline this year around this time last year but then they were announced for Download & IOW as subs so people were expecting them to take a year off from the fests and then come back to headline R&L and/or TITP.
