Guest pop-notmyface Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 if they are a bit hyped at the moment, then it is justifiably so.the glasgow barfly show was rrreally good. so here is a quick rundown of what makes a "rrreally good" show.1. an empty stage with the sound of siren echoing through the venue. a helicopter is approaching in the distance, followed by a heavy tribal drum beat a la Audioslave. three guys in tight jeans and old sneakers enter the stage.2. Sharks.3. Sam E Danger staying true to his reputation by throwing his mic stand into the crowd.+4. Sam E Danger body-checking the 16 year olds at the front.5. that Ministry of Sound impostor.6. the joke about the dude that got himself pregnant.7. Double penetration.8. Devs' acoustic version of "Freak"9. "Catch It" played to devastating effect. end.10. after show party with lots of pretty chicks and that dj with the oversized glasses spinning the best songs to ever grace our ears.o yeah. they should all be like this. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest five years Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 doesn't stop them having a rubbish name and singer called sam e. danger.forgive me, but they're not from "the strip" they're from some hovel like bolton, right? no-one this side of the pond is ALLOWED to have a name like sam e. danger or L.A. Riott or any of the other names these guys come up with...(glad it was a good show though, glad someone can have a good show at that godforsaken barfly! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll also need to get overhyped too quickly and start attracting gullible fools to your shows who'll gladly report your antics to death. If the future of music is the Testicles then music is dead.

Dev contributes a lot to the band with his metal and big beat influences, if you listen to "Catch It" for example. just that song covers screamo vocals, fiddly fretplay and hip-hop/dance beats, all delivered with the energy that is punk. maybe it's "the future of music", maybe it's not. but their sound is very refreshing in the stale mainstream music market.

Paranoid Android Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I went along to see them at Reading last year becasue of all the hype. I wasn't very impressed and didn't stay long. I did quite like one of their songs i've seen on tv though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
