If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

The Guardian ae:) described them as "the Del Amitri it's ok to invite to Kerrang" which is a huge diss on Del Amitri if you ask me. :|
I saw Del Amitri at The Apollo many years ago. They were very good. :|

saw them live once - as a warm-up act to Muse.. meh!
Meh too. Saw 'em supporting Linkin Park.

Now you have them supporting Muse, who I think were on my don't get list.

Proper shoite.

Did you not request us to post our bands we thought were wank? Or that we didn't get?

Think I had Muse too back on page one. Utter garbage. :D

You might not enjoy them, and nor do I particularly, but to describe them as being "Wank", shows a level of absolute pig ignorance.

Rap. I don't get it. I'm very happy with the fact I don't get it, I have no wish to get it either.
That's not a leopard!

Sorry Mr Self Righteous. Should I have used Worthys description of them 'proper shoite' or Annoyed Grunts description of REM 'bag of shite'. I await your decision with baited breath.....

Have a word with yourself. Like them or not I find it beyond question that Muse are a bunch of very talented musicians. To write them off as being 'wank' is poor indeed.

Pink Floyd for me too, plus - ok some are not bands but guess they count - Coldplay (total and complete shite), U2, Adele, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Blur, Rolling Stones

My lad sent me a text from Leeds Festival this weekend. He reckons Biffy Clyro are the best band he's ever seen live. Granted he's only 17, but he's seen plenty of bands, so high praise indeed. Mind you, perhaps the fact that he's 17 is the reason why the rest of us middle aged blokes on here don't get them. In which case, it's as it should be.

Oh dear. :D

Seriously, you and I tend to share likenesses in bands regardless of our age difference. However, do you really like the song on the link that hi there, i'm chris posted up?

I realised I'd been confusing Biffy Clyro with Miley Cyrus :oops:
