Yeah? So why go?I would hardly say they are going through the motions. So what if the songwriting style has changed, are they not allowed to develop as musicians and writers?Sounds to me like a case of Manics syndrome. They got popular=Can't like them anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartmaxwell Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 i think they are a good band, i do like themhowever, the live show is rubbish now compared to the earlier shows (imo)i have seen them heaps of times, still go out of nostalgias sake but they will never be what they werei think they have become better songwritiers, in remote part was one of the best songs they have done (forgot to follow was the best imo)manics syndrome?ha ha, the manics used to be great, they got shite=end of, its not about popularitythey are def going through the motions, have you heard love steals us.... its fence radio rock rubbish, over produced. just like half of the remote part (filler)if you are an avid fan you may be interested to know that i will be selling satan polaroid 7" and chandelier/i want to be a writer 7" when idlewild are in the media eye again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ARE shite. Yeah I've heard the new song, albeit only once, and on first listen it sounds like more of the same from The Remote Part. Maybe that's their direction. Who knows.Wouldn't say I'm an avid fan, but I've been to enough shows to know they still cut it live. Admittedly, the live shows have changed from the early days, but that's what's so good about music and following bands. The development and progression. I know I'd certainly be bored watching Idlewild still doing the same stuff from the early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstardawn Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 music hall will be in march-april-ish timehow definite is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 how definite is that?Going by Roddy's Diary"We'll see the rest of 2004 out in our practice space outside Edinburgh. Strung up with fairy lights, with pictures of Frankenstein, Dylan and Marilyn Monroe hanging from the walls. Piecing together our 2005, at least how it's going to sound from a stage. In January we're taking a more elaborate (for that read more rehearsed) version of this summer's acoustic Hotel Cafe shows to a handful of small old halls and cute theatres around Britain. For no other reason than collectively, it's hugely enjoyable. Also, it's a good way for fans of our music to hear new compositions the way they were written, before 'Warnings/Promises' arrives on your CD player in all it's noisy ragged glory, at the beginning of March.For those of you who prefer your Idlewild with a distortion pedal. It'll be back to normal for American and British tours in March and April. A European headline tour is being planned, as well as return trips to Japan (our first since 'Hope is Important' - someone's in for a shock), and Australia."Safe to assume then March / April for larger venues.........

Rob Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 got tickets for the glasgow show today. quite cool cos it only seats an audience of 355. i got seats on the right hand side only 6 rows from the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Got my ticket for forres, should be amazing. I don't think i've heard the new single enough to make a comment. But what i've heard i like. Roddy Woomble said the new songs will take more time to get into than previous songs, so i think it could be an interesting one.
