Hi.
Ive been listening to a lot of my older Snow Patrol albums lately, and im unsure what one i would consider as the best one of the bunch.

Whats all your opinions?

Best album?
Best track?
General opinion on Snow Patrol?

Im just waiting for the following excuses by people:
-Their old stuff was better.
-Its an age thing.
-Band x are better.
ect;

Ive seen them live at the Manchester Ritz, and they were stunning. Best concert ive been to.

I think Snow Patrol are a marmite band. Those who like them, really like them, and those who dont...

Seeing them tomorrow at the GMEX (well, technically today

).
They were amazing at the Ritz, but its a small venue, and smaller ones usually are better. It'll be interesing to see how it all translates to a bigger venue.

yeah i looked to get tickets for the london shows, but going for silly money on fleebay, i still remember them from the Isle of Wight fest in 2004 & 2005 - amazing!

If you want to get tickets early, sign up to the Snow Patrol website, they allways email with advance warning for new ticket sales.

Gutted.
Got all the way to Manchester with an hour to spare. Got into central Manchester, and hit traffic. By the time we managed to 'see' the GMEX it was already 8.10 (doors open at 6), and then with all the traffic, it was impossible finding somewhere to park. So either way, we were gonna miss the concert.
So we turned round and went.

£25 down the drain.

no way! they would not have been on til 9pm surely? gutted for you though

The problem was that we were a good 25-30mins away from parking when we decided to pack up. Im not as gutted as my mates as ive seen them before, but annoyed none the less.
We would have been ok, but some ######## was stopping people using the GMEX carpark for some reason!?

football fighting aside - sorry to hear that, hope you catch then next time around

NP.

Whats said in a thread stays in a thread. Im glad to see you take that opinion as well. I respect people who can do that.

On the upside, it allowed me to get a good few hours of Zelda in before bed.
