I've literally walked through the door after I attended the Leeds Festival and I thought I'd share my own personal review of the weekend.. Friday 24th -Gym Class Heros // i missed most of their set getting into the arena but what i saw was fantastic 7/10 -Hellogoodbye // really, really good live i thought. i was impressed 8/10 -Billy Talent // not really my cup-of-tea but was decent 6/10 -The Used // one of the bans i was looking forward to the most and they didnt dissapoint in the slightest 9/10 -Funeral For A Friend // brilliat. no other words needed 9.5/10 -Fall Out Boy // i wasnt expecting much but they covered Akon and Micheal Jackson and they were ace! 8/10 -Lostprophets // very similar to Linkin Park in my eyes, was really awesome to see them agian though 8.5/10 -Nine Inch Nails // these guys are legends! 10/10 -LCD Soundsystem // a little repetative - nice sound though 8/10 -Klaxons // JJ's tip of the week - check these guys out 9/10 Saturday 25th -Reverand And The Makers // these guys put on a good show 6/10 -Little Man Tate // not really a fan but i tagged along with a friend and they were quite good 6/10 -Long Blondes // i didnt realy like these guys. decent though 5/10 -Gogol Bordello // didnt ge this guy at all..3/10 -Gossip // Beth Ditto (lead vocals) was amazing 6/10 -Jimmy Eat World // it isnt a festival without these guys! 7.5/10 -Maximo Park // i've seen these aroound 8 times now and they keep getting better and better 8/10 -Enter Shikari // fantastic 8/10 -The Subways // a tad boring in my eyes 5/10 -Brand New // chuffed to bits i was there to witness this amazing gig 9/10 -Razorlight // it was kinda like listening to their CD, good live though 7/10 -Ash // Superb, awesome show 8/10 Sunday 26th -Paramore // told us to steal, copy, pich their CD. their show wasnt bad either 8/10 -The Dead 60's // it was nice to hear new stuff by these guys, as well as some classics 7/10 -Eagles Of Death Metal // i was too excited for MuteMath i didnt really take too much notice 6/10 -MuteMath // *** 10/10 -The Shins // only caught the end of their set - wasnt too impressed 5/10 -Angels And Airwaves // fantastic live, they mighta played new material as well (?) 7/10 -Pigeon Detectives // one of the best gigs of the weekend, really good, the crowd loved them! 9/10 -Panic! At The Disco // gotta love P!ATD 8/10 -Bloc Party. // Someones T-shirt read 'God Bless Bloc Party' - that sums up how good they were 8.5/10 -The Twang // saw the last two tracks, and both where amazing 5/10 -Biffy Clyro // too good, check these out - the blew me away 9.5/10 -Red Hot Chilli Peppers // below par i thought. their set didnt have 'under the bridge' and ' scar tissue' i was dissapointed 6/10 (C+) *** MuteMath what can i say? i've been fortunate enough to see Linkin Park twice, and the second time i thought that when they played in the Manchester M.E.N '03 it was the best gig i was ever likely to see, i know thats me being slightly bias 'cos im a huge LP fan. But.. ..At 14:10 on Sunday the 26th of this month, i think i witness a show that equals, or dare i say it suspasses it. These guys were amazing and i'd hold-heartedly say to you that you have too see them, sooner rather than later, and if you cant buy their CD!! they only played for around 30 mins but i enjoyed every second of it! the best band by a long shot i'd say. im not even lying about it, they were truely amazing. i can urge you enough to at least check them out. they played probably their most recognizable tunes first, 'Typical' and 'Chaos' which got the crowd well pumped. i've got a video of the last 60 seconds of their show on my phone, im guna upload it and let you guys see for yourself. it was just 30 mins of pure musical maddness, these guys deserve a lot more recognition than what they have right now.. LEEDS FESTIVAL 2007 -- 8/10
yeh they did a bit, it wasnt anything major. it wasnt half as bad when Fightstar got bottled two years ago though, that was awful
Erm. You said AAA were fantastic? That's odd. They were shite when I saw them Glad you had fun though. I know a few people who were at Leeds and they all said it was great. I saw NIN a few days before Leeds started and they were fucking ace then as well. Edit: Brand New are something else live. They kill it
You can't tell because all of AVA's music sounds the same. Wow really? Even if they didn't have those songs, they usually are spot on live. I bet Frusciante was kick-ass even if the rest of the band wasn't.
