this thread is actually gonna go on forever and ever isn't it? haha!!! legendary

Good on ya. I wish I even remotely liked the new stuff' date=' as I'd go and see them play the older stuff, but it frankly offends me what they write and record nowadays.

Useles info: My sis used to go out with Rod from Idlewild's ex - flatmate - me and Rob (screamingzombiehell) got backstage the first time they played the Music Hall! They are fine fella's and Colin even had his Mum and Dad backstage with him! But seriously, they were really nice guys and let us drink a fair bit of their rider! Result! Only time I've been backstage at the Music Hall![/quote']

thing is, even when they perform the new stuff, roddy totally mellows the vocals down so even if you did see them for the occasional old song, it wouldnt quite be the same.

im pretty sure when i saw them at the music hall roddy's mum and dad were there cos maxi started shouting some shit at them, thanking them for giving birth to roddy!

twas a joyous night!

It's a booooooooooooooy!!

I'll make this my entry.

that is fucking scary

They were.

Ahh' date=' the good old days, when Idlewild played thrashy punk instead of fucking folk songs. Them were the days..................[/quote']

luckily aileen loves both thrashy punk AND folk!

hooray for idlewild

surely they weren't always that gappy and......."punched in the face" looking?

he used to be so beautiful

such a shame you guys didnt get catpower up in aberdeen

she was just mind blowing

i cried

and her support act, entrance, he was fucking aaaaaaaaaaaaawesome

amazing gig it was

yeah but you can tell roddy much prefers singing the newer stuff, his vocals even on the older tracks are totally different, a lot less aggressive and more mellow at every opportunity really

saw idlewild at the barrowlands last night and it was FU-CKING A-MA-ZING!!!!!! best ive ever seen them play!

shame you guys didnt get the ramones cover in the encore, it sounded quality! i never would have thought that that would work but the vocals were awesome and it sounded ace, just a quality quality song with an idlewild-y twist!

roddy's changed a lot as a front man, i remember when we saw them at the lemon tree and he was really unresponsive and just looked like he was off his face on drugs! hes developed so much and really makes the audience feel part of what is going on. the direction theyre taking the music now is certainly very very different to the old stuff, but they still got their charm.

really really renewed my love for idlewild, one of my best gigs this year!

the first picture is beautiful!!! the colours are so awesome

i love it

matthew your language is appalling

gutted the gig got moved from QM to the carling academy, everytime ive been there, the sounds been shit, plus the QM would have been more intimate and like, suited to the type of music i think. but anyway, the albums awesome, hoorah for KT Tunstall

i was about to argue that ben is one of the campest frontmen in aberdeen too. and he just is. so jamesy shut up! you know ben loves to camp it up!

"Sam is gay"

aaahahahahahahahaha that was well funny

Edit - I realise now that Ellen DeGeneres comments haven't appeared in the quote' date=' only the responses.[/quote']

haha, quality!

hhmm interesting.....making a point by just outright denying the truth in anything i say.....

think im just gonna walk away from this one....

that IS pretending to be gay though and i'm just really fed up of stupid girls who think they're being "sexy" or something by going on about how hot other girls are and using fucking "wink" smilies afterwards. "lol i'd shag her " - just...just PLEASE...stFu.

yup yup thats me....definitely always trying to be "sexy" by talking about how hot other girls are!!! im such a crap pretend lesbian!

god i hate me. i can totally understand why youre fed up of me! entirely!

or maybe....if you actually knew me....you'd know that, it was a figure of speech! i just happen to think gwen stefani IS really really hot. she has a gorgeous body, amazing style, beautiful face, unique/awesome voice...

admiration isnt a fucking sin!

saying someone is hot isnt pretending to be gay.

how do you know im not gay?

why am i discussing my sexuality with you?

i dont actually know, hoping to borrow the album from the guy i went to the gig with, like i said, i knew NOTHING of them before seeing them live. theyre just awesome

every song on her album is awsome

i wouldnt go quite that far but i did quite like 'rich girl'....thats the kinda song i can dance about my room in my underwear to, pretending im as hot as she is!

maxi u turd!

u've totally corrupted my thread!!!

talk about guapo or fuck off

didnt i come and see someyoungpedro at stereo for you maxi??

i think i thought they were shit

sorry

but guapo are ace :D:D

what? wait! i wont be there to witness these final performances of the best songs ever written and performed by the almighty onion terror!!!!!!!! nooooooooooooooooooo

come to glasgow and give me a private performance please

....guapo?

theyre fucking AMAZING!

i went to see them last week in glasgow, knowing absolutely NOTHING about them, the type of music they played, what they looked like, their influences, or like....anything.

and they just blew me away. its like the type of music id wanna be floating in space listening to. totally trippy and weird and spaced out and just unique and crazy and original as shit!

i dont have their album so dunno how it compares to live performance but if you get the chance and are into weird eclectic music, go see them!!!! but take a seat of some kind....or dance about like the crazy lady at the barfly, cos standing still watching them really hurts....and you kinda start rocking back and forth like a madman...but in a good way!

gwen stefani is probably the hottest being walking this planet!!!!!!!

her songs have a habit of growing on me cos i can kinda nod along and they have catchy beats and stuff.....but they aint amazing or anything.

i'd definitely give her one though!
