As good as idles are live, METZ have the ability to outshine them, they are very very good. Hopefully the crowd is up for it.

That's quite the accolade. I'm in!

I’d go Bleach over In Utero. 

Finally!! I am not alone

I know Utero got all the accolades but....it never really clicked for me. Better than Incesticide, but I'd take all of Bleach, Nevermind, Unplugged & Wishkah over it.

In Utero is far and away the best as far as I'm concerned. It's brutal. Milk It is the best Nirvana song.

All the albums are amazing though.

In Utero is in my all time top 5 albums.

 

(Funeral, Different Class, Good Kid Maad City and Midnight Boom in case you wondering)

Bleach was the first album I ever bought. Still absolutely love it and still think it’s the most raw out of the albums they made. The one band I wish I could go back in time to see (would have to be twice though because it would have to be unplugged & live at Reading).

[Quark]

This whole conversation has made me break my normal Friday routine of new releases to go back and re-listen to Bleach for the first time in years.  Forgot how much I love it.

I know it's not a studio album, but Unplugged... remains my favourite. Probably my top live album of all time.

That's a pretty interesting Glasto-shaped hole. Do bands usually pop back to the UK in a three day break? Maybe if it's Glastonbury....I'd take them as JP headliner on the Saturday. 

(They were fucking ace last night btw)

Took me quite a while to get into Idles, but thought they were fantastic last night

I think Pearl Jam are off to play Lollapalooza in Stockholm that weekend so entirely possible they follow there but would be an independent deal so Idles could choose to do Glastonbury - although imagine it would have to be a slot that made it worth it.

There's a some tixs on twickets if you act quick for the people who are after them.

They were so amazing weren't they?! I did wonder if any other efest folk would be there ?

Hi all, long time fan of these forums from a far... Just found out I can't make the Idles gig at Ally Pally on Saturday so about to post on Twickets. Wanted to give a heads up so they went to a fan rather than a tout

Just seen they are not allowing for postage delivery, I guess too close to gig date?? Drop off points or meet at venue don't really work out, please let me know if there is any other trusted method. Cheers!

On another related note...I went to the Winged Ox beforehand and I've never seen a place so full of people in a band's t-shirts before! I was reminded of bennyhanna's "don't wear a band's t-shirt to their own gig" rule. It seems a lot of them were some of the AF Gang I've been hearing so much about. The place was rammed with them!

Watched the Glastonbury set again. Very Special that. 

If Emily does read this forum, get them back!!

There was lots and lots of Idles tshirts last night. St Lukes is good, it's quite good for a gig as well

Yeh I only realised recently that they do gigs there too. It's only been a pre-Barrowlands pint stop before now but I'll have to check out its listings. 

Lucky that you got one of the tickets from the link from DandyB! I was singing IDLES tunes in my head all morning today....and I would totally buy that Christmas cover if they released it

It was pretty incredible wasn’t it? You’ll struggle to find a better opening to a gig than Colossus > Never Fight a Man with a Perm.

My brother and I noticed this as well. Ridiculous amount of people breaking the rule.
