Anyone off to the Foals gig tonight?

People still listen to Foals?!

I like Foals, but isn't the lead singer a bit crazy? He always seems to trash everything at every gig. Missed them at Leeds and was a bit gutted tbh.

Yeah, because you honestly expected them to suddenly die overnight? :rolleyes:

/shrug. Same could be said about most lead singers. He jumped around 2m into the crowd from the stage last night.

I'm surprised people still listen to them because they are such a gimmick band.

They wear their guitars irritatingly high

At manchester he smashed his guitar about 20 mins into the set, walked into the side of the crowd playing his guitar with no security (except me), and again stage dived quite some distance into the crowd.
Decentish live show, lots of energy, but doing the sort of things he does without any kind of warning to security is taking a big risk. He would have struggled to get back to the stage after walking into the crowd if I'd not followed him, the crowd had just closed up behind him.
