Maybe 'fun' is the wrong word but it's something to do during the boring bits

Sounds like they're fresh strings, which tend to take a few stretches and retunes to get 'em to stay in tune. If that's the case, it's a very amateur mistake for his guitar tech to make.

His paternal grandparents were Irish.

Oh good God, suicide time

Now in fairness this is f*cking awful!

I'm still watching Chic

Good Times (certainly better than listening to Ed Sheeran)

F**kin' hell people. If you don't like the man's music just switch off and enjoy your Sunday night some other way.

Jesus, well if that's got you going, do yourself a favour and don't ever click into a live Late Late show thread.

Funny, to me all his stuff sounds the same. Just hammering on an acoustic and yammering

I meant when the folk band came on.

For all those slating Radiohead in the other thread....I think we can all agree we have now hit rock bottom. God damn awful...bye bye Ed.

Must be the same on all his spares too. He's swapped out a couple of times(maybe just the two guitars being retuned).
I know temperature and moisture can affect tuning but not staying in tune for the length of a song is bizzare.

Would find it hard to believe his guitar tech has out new strings on all his guitars, tuned them and left it at that.

Outdoor gigs at night are a bitch for tuning.

That's how Foo Fighters sound to me. Isn't it great we all like different things

I wounder if Sheeran was back playing in a 500 person tent like the first time he played Glasto would posters be on telling us all to get on the red button to see this great one man band

Im sure the armchair boards.ie performers know better than Ed Sheerand his roadies though!!

What did he say those trad musicians were called, the other???

Dr Crayfish

I never got the Foo Fighters popularity. Boring rock music, like aural chewing gum. It's amazing how Dave Grohl was in Nirvana and he goes to create a mediocrity juggernaut like the FF.

Oh to be young and in that crowd at Justice.

Although there is an old fella up the front in a blue tracksuit giving it socks....

Ah jaysus it's fair comment. He's not the first acoustic player to p,ah outdoors at night time.

Having the guitars go out of tune so often isn't something that should be happening and it's fair comment to talk about it whether you think he's god or the devil or somewhere in between.

So would I, especially for such a big performance, but it sounds like that. I saw he popped a few strings on a couple. Just sounds like one of the higher strings keeps slipping out.

I certainly don't think he's playing on some cheap bangers from Argos, haven't seen the headstocks but I imagine they're Martin. Plus, he's just pulled out a custom Fender, so Ed's certainly spending a few bob on his equipment.

Just very odd for it to happen at such a big event. I'm sure he's noticed, but doesn't look too phased.

They're grand as a singles band, like you hear one on the radio, think that's good and then something else comes on. Couldn't really listen to more than a couple of songs though.

That said, This Is A Call, is an absolute belter.

I visit there quite often but I find this Ed bashing tonight to be really tiresome. We've heard it all before lads. Let those of us who enjoy Ed's music just enjoy it.

On stage maybe, if he's tuning by ear, but not for a guitar tech backstage. A standard Boss tuner should be on Ed's shopping list.
