    I dont like the futureheads tbh,might pick up a ticket outside the gig

    Futureheads aren't too bad. Their stuff can be pretty catchy.

    It was Eagles of Death Metal and Futureheads at the Birmingham gig. Both played maybe 30-45 min sets? Then Foos played for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

    Humanzi are also supporting them. Doors open at 6.30 main event kicks off @ 8pm according to the points website.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,382 ✭✭✭Motley Crue

    was working at it, can anyone explain why people come out to buy stuff when great songs loike learn to fly and stacked actors are playing? what a waste fo money paying and then missing great songs.

    brilliant set btw and from what i could hear it seems they will be back with an acoustic tour at some stage.

    I have to say the futureheads were the biggest pile of sh1te i've heard in a long time. I thought they'd never get off the feckin stage. Foos were good though. Glad to see them playing plenty off TCATS, although I was dissapointed they didn't play more from the first one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭s8n


    setlist ???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 418 ✭✭:Keith:


    Have to agree about the Futureheads. I was bored out of my head when they were on. Thought it was pretty cool that Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was at the gig.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭captain P


    possibly the best gig ive ever been to. everything seemed to work out perfect for me an dthey were just amazing!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    An absolutly amazing gig. And the whole "ole ole ole ole" thing was brilliant. The support acts were dismal imo especially the futureheads. The biggest cheer that humanzi got was when they said it was there last song and dave grohl didnt even know there name. Liked the encore aswell.
    Overall brilliant gig.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 229 ✭✭susanna


    I must be the only person who liked The Futureheads, but then again I'm into them anyway. I thought they were a strange choice of support act though, they've got more of an indie/mod type following


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭Zapho


    Brilliant gig, really enjoyed it! Especially when Dave said "I love that f*cking song!" when everyone was chanting ole. Taylors drum solo was amazing too and it was a nice choice to finish with All my life this time. Dave did some really good improv too. Overall, it was well worth the trip from Limerick

    Yes, you were.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    The futureheads were incredibly boring but i actually thought Humanzi were pretty okay, i hadn't heard em before.
    Didn't think it was as good as the gig in 2002.

    Yeah, I didn't think humanzi were that bad actually. Much better than the other fu<kwits anyway. I enjoyed the 02 (jesus is it really that long ago?) gig more as well. But then again I was in the pit for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    i'll admit the foo's in 02 in the point was cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    Good gig, better than their Oxegen performance anyway. Some of the songs dragged out a bit and the sound went wonky for a period around Monkey Wrench but that was sorted by a brilliant encore of DOA and All My Life. The songs off the disapointing In Your Honour came across alot better live I though which was good. Low point was the 14-16 year old CKY, Metallica, Sum 41 brigade in the pit who ruined what could have been an even more enjoyable gig for me. Pointless squashing, pushing, trying to act the hard man annoyed me alot and I couldn't move at all. :mad:

    Humanzi were outstanding. A band who I'll take more notice of in the future.

    Futreheads were ok. I'm not a fan of theirs but I enjoyed their show anyway.

    TBH back referring to juvenile brigade in the pit, they made a poor atmosphere for the support acts. They showed no enthusiasm or interest whatsoever for the support acts. Ok Humanzi and The Futureheads don't have the same sound as the Foos but FFS give bands a chance for once in a while.

    Excellent gig. The first time ive seen the foos. Songs off the new album sounded amazing. Especially DOA. And what an amazing drummer. The futureheads were ****e. Awful sound of those guitars too. NOt right. MY song of the night was breakout. It was class hearing the whole crown losing it for that! Cant wait until they come again.

    Amen to that
