the wonderwhy Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah the Arcitcs don't do the early stuff justice live anymore, and the constant 505 encore is starting to bug me. Humbug and on material is great though. I really, really love their new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipayne Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 All Arctics old songs seemed to be slowed down quite a bit on the recent tour. Dancing Shoes just didn't have that upbeat feel the way they played it in Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyquack Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) 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. see, I did not experience this! I was pretty close to the front and everyone, and I seriously do mean everyone in the area around me were singing it back to Simon! It was incredible! The way he ended it made me think it was only meant to be a little snippet of a rarity though...? I have a setlist from it and it's not on there so maybe was just a little impromptu thing Si did in Leeds and decided to do again at Reading?

justanothername Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 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 Add Justboy, There Is No Such Thing...(both were on the UK tour but not R&L ), Bodies In Flight, The Kids From Kibble, A Whole Child Ago and it would be amazing.

Babyquack Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 He said something along the lines of "Not singing?

I thought he was just introducing Machines nicely haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 The old Arctic Monkeys material was rubbish on this tour. Brianstorm and I Bet You Look Good... somehow sounded really flat and something felt missing. Maybe they were slowed down and that was it; I'm not sure. Also their last two albums are their worst two albums (are we really on this again?). And I Want It All is aural torture, sounds like something QOTSA would write whilst pretending to be drunk.

Tobieski Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm still indifferent about AM, it's alright. There's about four songs I really enjoy, the rest is incredibly mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree probably. A few songs are really good and the others are ok but those tracks sound to similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) If they do play R&L, all I ask for is A Certain Romance. They haven't played it both times I've seen them and it's my favourite song. They could stand in silence for an hour and a half and then play it and I would still be satisfied. Whilst we are talking about AM as an album, I think Do I Wanna Know? R U Mine? One For The Road, Arabella, Mad Sounds, No.1 Party Anthem and Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High are all quality songs, the rest are just mediocre for me.
