Soda Jerk Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Worst band I've ever seen. They were probably messed up on all kinds of pills, which meant they played like shit. Well, Omar played like shit. He just made fuckloads of horrid, out of tune noise whilst the rest of the band played kind of ok. Cedric was climbing up the walls and throwing himself into speakers, but kept yelling at the audience for not standing perfectly still. Good recording band. Poop live.I never saw the Mars Volta, but the recorded output I heard was just horrid bilge. Sparta were the better of the ATDI offshoots. I'd rather see Sparta than ATDI or Mars Volta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 People who don't like ATDI are wrong. I have seen live videos though... All the same, I hope i get to see them. The Mars Volta are really rubbish. They had a few moments of brilliance on their first two records, but overall: shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 What makes ATDI for me, is Robbie William's reaction to them on Jools Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've seen live videos too, some of which seem good, apart from that one that was on the telly. They must have just been more pilled up than usual the night I saw them. I was so disappointed. I'd saved up my pocket money for a ticket and a taxi home. What a waste. I could have bought some alcopops and rented some games from Blockbuster instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 You better not be playing with my heart. Holidays, flights and tickets are getting booked. I'll kill you dead.http://www.rocksound.tv/news/article/refused-reform-for-festival-showwas the first I read but then this confirmed it.http://officialrefused.com.preview.binero.se/We had a band once, in Umeå. We would pile in a van, like every other punkband, and thunder off in pursuit of friends and glory in some basement in front of 20 people, 50 people, in towns 4-5 hours away. Sometimes there would be more than a hundred people and we would later in the week refer to that as a "big show". We were ambitious, but we didn't think of it as a career. We never made any fiscal sense whatsoever during 7 years of touring. Like most punkbands, it never occured to us to even try. We had a scene, we had some politics and we had just a hint of artistic ambition. True to our swedish roots we got very serious very fast. And then suddenly we got good. It's a delicate path to tread for precocious twentysomethings anywhere on the planet, but this particular bunch didn't make it. And that was fine. Most enterprises in life are unrelated to incredibly violent rock music. It's been a motley 14 years since our band came apart. We've all kept busy in our respective endeavors but we've all remained friends and kept in touch. There have been offers, and lots of jokes about these offers. We've sort of looked down from our high horses and made fun of people who've just wanted to share the psychopathic intensity that we would deliver on a nightly basis in our post-pubescent prime. A reunion has just seemed irrelevant to us. Too much other shit to do. But then Kristofer got his degree from the Swedish opera academy, Jons medical studies began drawing to a close and Dennis and David started a new hardcore band together. Finally, after a decade and a half hiatus, Kristofer picked up the guitar again. Which made David want to play the drums again. Which in turn led to all four of us suddenly making new music in assorted constellations. As all this was brewing, Coachella got in touch. There were a couple of phone-calls, lots of skepticism, some hesitant enthusiasm before one of us basically said: "– This is ridiculous. There are friends of ours who would murder close relatives just to go see bands there. Let's just do it, one last time." And with that, socialist fag-loving pc scumbags were on the road again. We never did "The shape of punk to come" justice back when it came out, too tangled up in petty internal bickering to really focus on the job. And suddenly there's this possibility to do it like it was intended. We wanna do it over, do it right. For the people who've kept the music alive through the years, but also for our own sakes. We feel that you deserve it and we hope the feeling is mutual. See you in the pit.//Refused I wonder which turn of the century band will reform next....

FOX Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have never heard of either of these bands. I await my crucifixion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I hadn't heard of Refused until about 6 years after they broke up..... but then again in 1998 I was only 9 years old and they probably would have scared the shit out of me at that age. WHY ARE THESE MEN SHOUTING?? Give me some real music. I'd imagine for FOX both of these bands would have broken up before you hit Primary 6.

Paranoid Android Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I really liked The Mars Volta when they started and listened to their debut loads. I doubt I could sit through half of it now though. They were awful live too. Saw them at Reading once, played one song and then fucked around improvising for the rest of the set. I don't think I ever listened to an At The Drive In album. One Armed Scissor is a pretty good song for that kind of thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I hope Refused don't just do a load of festival dates. I want to see them in a proper venue.Not really bothered by ATDI, one great album and I saw them live at Leeds festival in a packed tent.

The Milner Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 ATDI were terrible i thought, saw a few bits of The Mars Volta, again shit band, fucking ace drummer tho. Can't say i would make any effort to go see either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm susprised folk regard ATDI as only having one good album. I assume that is Relationship Of Command. That's not even my 2nd favourite album of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 if i was in a band with Omar i would probably have split us up to. Why can't the fucker just chill out and play his fucking guitar?So true. What a banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
