devilman Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 If you compare to a new headline status band like Biffy then Foals look pathetically weak. As I said previously "Foals don't exist off of this forum." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 They sold out Ally Pally in nine minutes, but obviously that was because me, DGrant and Gazza's cousin bought a few thousand tickets each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shikari20 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Who even are foals? Sure their that band with that shit song from the last fifa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#FreeComTruise Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Would it help if one of their songs was used on Skins? The only 2 songs I can actually recall from Skins are the Gossip one, and Bon Iver's Woods If you compare to a new headline status band like Biffy then Foals look pathetically weak. As I said previously "Foals don't exist off of this forum." Biffy have had 3 top 10 albums, same as Foals, and that includes Opposites which was their first number 1 and arguably propelled them to headline status (along with Only Revolutions). Biffy have also only had 3 top 10 singles from twice as many albums, so I don't think that's a very good comparison. "Foals don't exist off of this forum." definitely isn't accurate either, going by twitter at least, they're one of the most popular bands for my age group, up there with Arctic Monkeys even. Foals only really need an album as popular as their last, which is what most people here are expecting to happen, to really warrant a push up.

Andre91 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Foals were so dull in 2013. It's obvious that the festival love them and want to push them up, but I'm more and more expecting them to sub next time they play. I thought The Vaccines would be headlining off of their third album, but that isn't happening. Have Foals co-headline with Bloc Party Edited March 19, 2015 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Is that one of your crap metal bands" was one answer and the other said "who?" I'll shut up now, there is nothing to be gained by making my point again. They aren't as popular as some of you think they are. I quite like them for the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said previously "Foals don't exist off of this forum." I actually agree, none of my friends knew who they were when I suggested them for sub, they know My Number but yeah they're not as well known as people make out in this forum, not like Biffy Clyro were in 2013 cause opposites was bigggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#FreeComTruise Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks for your opinion. Cold hard facts say different: 1 UK Number 1s 4 UK Top 10s One of those is a live album, they've had 3 top 10 studio albums, so not really.

Yellow_Fellow Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 "Is that one of your crap metal bands" was one answerThis is far more indicative of you and the people you hang with than anything to do with Foals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 These two teenagers can't be very relevant to the R&L demographic if they've never heard of a band that played third from top there 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is it with new people on this forum suggesting bands to their friends? How boring must people's conversations be if they involve talking to them about festival placings of bands they've never heard of? And if these people have never heard of Foals I doubt they'd be that into R&L, so everything about this is just baffling to me. It's justanothername-ness gone mad. Alternatively it's all shit and they all know who Foals are. I don't even really care about Foals and couldn't care less if they headline or not. Rather have Depeche Mode (would cry or die etc.).
