and christ were they fucking vicious. i've been at rowdy gigs before [hell, i've seen flogging molly play] but this lot would kick, punch and claw their way to the front.

lucky me was near the front [approximately three rows back] and i'm currently lying in bed with a bandaged foot, a migraine, a black eye coming on, and bruises from my arse to my elbow.

and to be perfectly honest, as performers, fall out boy weren't even worth the pain.

Nah, saw them in glasgow a couple of months ago. Weren't too great i have to agree, hellogoodbye were supporting Taqking Back Sunday kast night though which I heard was pretty good. How were thursday? I'd love to go see them live.

no, i'm going to v-fest in august.

miller - thursday were pretty good if you're into the heavier side of things in comparison to a lot of the other stuff played - the guys were pretty energetic etc. to be honest, it's a little difficult for me to say just /how/ good they were, because the easiest comparison is with the album itself [at a live gig, you expect something more, but to know what 'more' is, you have to know what the music alone is] - and if i'd heard their cd before, i'd have a better idea.

but the best performers, without a shadow of a doubt, were hellogoodbye who were off their fucking rockers, and the academy is - i spent the entirety of his time on stage trying to decide what i wanted more - his babies, or his figure.

also: bryan adams! woo!
