Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 This is a band on my list of "must see live before I die"Didn't think it was ever going to happen - hopefully they play Scotland other than T in the Park because I can't make it next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The Scum says they're playing Glastonbury but that hasn't been confirmed anywhere else (therefore it's probably made up).T in the Park would be good though, hopefully they'll be better than they were last time (a decade ago?)

Monster Zero Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Aye, but Blur were pretty shite.Shush, go post in your Pumpkins thread....Blur were pretty good for 2 albums, half good/half pish for one album, totally pish for the next one, then good for 2 again and then the last album was just kind of there....

For me personally, I realise it won't be the normal consensus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have always had a soft spot for Blur. I'm not entirely sure how this will pan out as some of their latter stuff was a bit suspect. They have some awesome albums early on in their career though. I await the opportunity to hear something new if they do record again but i'll be damned if i'll pay the inevitably ridiculous prices for tickets to see them live. Very interesting, though not totally unsurprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Too much fucking trumpet for my liking, and zany videos. Damon Albarn is a cock of the highest degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Damon Albarn is a cock of the highest degree.Usually goes hand in hand with being a frontman though. Billy Corgan anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Corgan anyone I do agree, arsehole musicians are usually the best, but the Country House video is unforgivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I do agree, arsehole musicians are usually the best, but the Country House video is unforgivable.That's Keith Allen's fault though. There is some decent totty in it too. Good song as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmaxwell Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 i used to hate blur with a passion then when 13 came out i really liked it and the material afterwards. In my eyes, singles like music is my radar and no distance left to run are without doubt two of the criminally underrated singles of the past decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-matthEw- Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Think Tank is vastly under rated as well imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm not a huge fan but I like a lot of stuff from the last few albums they did.I saw them live at reading a few years ago, it was Think Tank era so no Graham. They did have Phil Daniels on stage for Parklife though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I always found that Blur vs Oasis chart battle situation quite amusing since the songs in question, 'Country House' and 'Roll With It', were probably both bands worst efforts at that point.I think the passing of time has shown that Damon Albarn is infinitely more talented than Noel Gallagher will ever be.'13' was the album Blur were touting at the time of that T in the Park appearance, although I liked teh album I found the set rather crap, it certainly wasn't an album that lent itself to that forum and sound quality, it was just a muddy mess....I imagine a lot of people who went out and bought '13' on the strength of 'Tender' were mighty pissed off.

Lemonade Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 This is a band on my list of "must see live before I die"Didn't think it was ever going to happen - hopefully they play Scotland other than T in the Park because I can't make it next year I've seen them I was a HUGE Blur fan back in the 90s. Though everything after the Great Escape is rubbish. Think Tank is almost unlistenable, I think Damon forgot that the reason everyone liked them is because they wrote great, catchy pop songs. He disappeared up his own arse eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually forgotten about it completely until it was mentioned in their Zane Lowe interview the other night. It's quite beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
