BDO review
Jan. 20th, 2007 11:45 amLily Allen: Mmmm... catchy songs, and a tight show musically, but you can tell that this is a performer who has been market-tested to destruction for commercial acceptability to 17 year old girls.
Chris Knox: Still crazy after all these years. We salute you, our half-inflated Godfather of DIY music. Best line: "Maybe I should tell a joke. Hey, here's a good one: My Chemical Romance. Hah!"
Peaches & Herms: The good stuff! High-energy, technically proficient and a great (and very funny) show, although I thought the bits which sounded like AC/DC with synths and estrogen sounded better than the bits that were like gender-switched 80's hip-hop. Also perhaps some songs not about fucking would have been a refreshing diversion.
John Cooper Clark: Bloody hell, I never thought I'd see someone as shrivelled up as Keith Richards and yet still alive. But the guy still has the poetic chops. Now you can see where Sam Hunt stole all his good ideas from.
Muse: *shrug* One of those bands which makes me think that every stadium-rock cliche from the 80's is just being recycled, but good at what they do, I suppose.
Tool: OH YEAH TEH GOOD STUFF. It's not every day you have a stadium full of teenagers yelling fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones at the top of their voices. I do hear their fans roamed the stadium earlier in the day picking fights with the My Chemical Romance fans. Good!
Bad points:
- everyone seemed to be smoking weed and not offering me any.
- I can no longer stand up.
ETA: I think I can hear![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
