I agree with AFI, however I think their latest record is actually pretty good if you see them as a modern day INXS and not AFI...

I've never been a big fan of AFI, but the wife is. We went to see them on the last tour (at Rock City in Nottingham), and I pretty much laughed myself through the entire set. They have become absolutely woeful. Davey Chaos (is that the singer's name?) now repeatedly does some screechy inhale at the end of every line that, combined with his leg-swinging mincing around just had me laughing my ass off at every turn.

I don't think the other half acknowledges that the last album exists.

Davey Havok.

The new Polar Bear Club record is the album of the year and the new Tom Morello record is actually pretty decent too. Should be a good show.

Would be a better show if Rise Against choose not to favour their last two records but they will so that'll suck.

Just popped over to order the tickets for Rock City as I'd forgotten, and it's sold out.

Dammit.

After listening to the latest two album and loving them, I've now got hold of RPM and The Sufferer and the Witness. Man am I stoked for this gig now

Off to see them tonight. More excited for Polar Bear Club after seeing the setlist Rise Agaist are playing.

I wanted to see them in Bristol but it was sold out

I saw them last time though so it's okay

They had flobots and the girl did an electric violin solo that was epic.

Saw them at the leeds 02 last night, polar bear club were decent but were totally outclassed by rise against it was just an amazing night. Also Tom morello had some mad solo's.

This is a really funny question but which side of the stage was he standing on? Whenever I see a band like that I always seem to end up on the opposite side to the frontman

Would love to see Tom Morello do his thang closeup!

He was in the centre

, yup his love song to his guitar black sparticus heart attack machine was definitely an experience close up.

Tom blew them all away. The Ghost of Tom Joad. That solo. Nuts.

Saw them on Monday in Brum, amazing show. Morello was sick as well

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SETLIST. Good performance though...meh! Rather ****** off.

THMRK · 10 Nov 2011 at 09:31

Yeah it wasn't great, was it?

dangermouse425 · 10 Nov 2011 at 10:00

What songs did they play? I was livid I missed this, but tell me it wasn't great and I'll feel better!

Saw them at Brum, and couldn't give a rats testicle what song's they play, they are just awesome live. Fourth time i've seen em and never fail to deliver.
