jonodillieono Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Hey justanothername, if you get into Manchester I'm strongly recommend joining the dodgeball society, being a Kasabian fan you must be good at throwing things at people and we always need new members for the freshers team I actually mean this seriously and not a joke Also if you do go to Manchester if you get a job in the union you can get tickets to any gig you want (in academy 1/2/3) for £3 so I'm sure you'll be going to lots on your own then Edited December 21, 2014 by jonodillieono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the union thing sounds really good for me. I'll definitely have to consider it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonodillieono Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Everyone's terrible at first there don't worry it's just a bit of fun and a nice way of meeting people, none of us take it serious or anything, it's more of a social get drunk have a laugh thing than a super serious sports team, I'd advise checking it out at least once like. Also when applying to halls go Fallowfield, Oak House/Owen's Park are by far the most social halls and you'll actually make close friends there whereas I was in Richmond and I haven't seen any of the people I lived with in years... Sorry for taking over the thread, for some reason I've got a thing for giving info to people wanting to go to UoM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Oh I thought he just said he had an offer from there, didn't realise he said he was planning to go there. Apologies to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I just don't like how a selection of people dislike the band for the crowd they draw in... I mean, fair enough if you don't enjoy the music (which I can't quite work out why you wouldn't enjoy it), but because there's a few w*nkers in the crowd, shouldn't stop you from enjoying them. It's an odd thing as the whole reason I'd imagine anyone being bothered by the crowd would be violence and disruption. I can't recall any reports of Kasabian toward that nature yet they're the band most strongly labelled so. And it's probably the same for a couple more acts. Maybe just some sort of class discrimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tom, people don't downvote you for liking Kasabian (plenty of people on here like them and don't get downvoted); it's because you post annoying shit like "I can't quite work out why you wouldn't enjoy it", seconds after complaining about people judging others' music taste. And you post on the official Muse forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't think that's true Will. Plenty of people say worse crap and are completely deluded about their favourite bands being bigger than they are and don't attract downvotes. Kasabian are widely sneered at. I think Tom would've flown under the radar if he didn't draw attention to sending his Glasto ticket back to watch Kasabian for a 20th time or so though.

Babyquack Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 And for my opinion on Kasabian's Reading headline set, I'll just put it out there that it was the worst Kasabian set I've seen to date... That;s interesting as I personally don't like them at all but when I was dragged to see them at Reading by friends, I admit freely that I thought it was great fun - their live show is great and really gets the crowd going. That weekend, I felt they were even better than Foo's were (granted I was unwell on the Sunday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum_96 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Kasabian were awesome at Leeds last time, first festival and I may have been slightly naive (I missed the cure to see the Maccabees) but they were brilliant in Leicester as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay maybe that isn't the reason, but it's the reason his posts annoy me. I don't see Matt Davies or tourette/jump (whichever likes Kasabian) getting loads of downvotes, because their posts aren't annoying at all. All I know is I can get half way through a post and think "Jesus christ shut up", and confidently guess that the poster is either Tom Wells or Zac Quinn. I'm guessing that this is the same for other people and is the reason they both get lots of downvotes (as I be said elsewhere, I don't do the downvoting, but I've never been surprised by their low rep). Apologies that I'm coming across as an arse lately but the festive period brings all my hate out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprising if it's something divisive but there are just random posts by either getting downvoted. I would say it's the same for Matt but even if he posts something that everyone would agree with, he makes out like it's something nobody would agree with and that's kinda annoying.

Random posts across the forum get downvoted for lots of people, but yeah, sometimes it does look like people get targeted for downvoting. I don't think people really try and target Matt that much. Always seems like appropriate ridicule to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I just had a look at Tom's reputation. Some of it did seem for the hell of it, but a lot of them were in posts where he mentioned downvoting. If people start talking about their own reputation I tend to downvote it, as I don't want to be on a forum where people just talk about their forum cred. For all Matt's idiocy he still tries to participate in and generate discussion about music and festival lineups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Oh yeah no I agree that some of their posts that get downvoted are posts that don't deserve downvotes, and it's clearly just people doing it for the hell of it, but I'm saying I don't think the reason he gets targeted is for liking Kasabian, it's for other reasons.
