1. Tom DeLonghi was pretending to be drunk lol

I'd hate that. Two acts I'm 100% apathetic about and would just be there for early material.

Arctics' early material is actually the worst thing about their set, in my opinion. They really seem like they can't be arsed with it.

I'm pretty sick of their early stuff now, I don't enjoy most of their first album anymore, although AM has really really grown on me. I was probably (definitely) a bit harsh on its release

likewise! i remember savaging it when it first leaked, but now i think it's probably the best thing they've ever done. not perfect, but a really really good album. i think with maybe another album or two (and tour) they'll be able to drop the first album material completely

Yeah I like the direction they've headed, I still think One for the Road, I Want It All, Fireside and High are rubbish though, but the rest is quite good. R U Mine, DIWK, Aarabella and Mad Sounds are probably my favourite four they've ever done too.

I think it'll be better if they did, left it to just being 1 or 2 per show like Biffy do, makes them a lot more special

I do wish Biffy played slightly more old stuff, first time I saw them they played every single song off of Only Revolutions which was quite annoying really when there was no need haha. They played Stress on the Sky and All the Way Down that night though so I can't complain really.

I do as well but it's definitely more special catching the odd oldie, than it would be if they played loads at every gig. I really wanna see All the Way Down, Toys Toys Toys and Christopher's River though especially

Yeah I do agree, the setlist at Leeds academy was incredible last year. A few unexpected like: 27, Hope For an Angel, Liberate the Illiterate and Strung to Your Ribcage. It was heaven :girlinlove:

Sad I didn't get to see them until this year :( I was really happy with the R&L setlist though, 57 and Folding Stars were what I really wanted to see in that set

Questions and Answers being cut short due to the crowd being completely unappreciative of it is the main memory I take away from Biffy at Reading this year. Pissed me right off.

They only did the first verse & chorus at Leeds too, sucked because all the people around me seemed to know the words. There was this one girl next to me who'd been there throughout NIN as well and knew everything, made both sets a lot better for me. God bless you girl, whoever you were.
