Congratulations! You have successfully plagiarised Mark Prindle's review of My Bloody Valentine! http://www.markprindle.com/mybloody.htm Isn't Anything Review: "Feed Me With Your Kiss" is a darned grunge song! Tell me it isn't!!!!"/ "feed me with your kiss is the best grunge song ever! listen to it, it's fucking grunge!" Loveless Review: "What's with the tinny shitty drum sound? You'd think that a band that places such an impact on sonic fullness would have taken care of that by this point in their existence."/ "the drums sound TERRIBLE (tinniest drum sound next to a fucknig black metal album" "This has more of a "college couple making out in the dark with candles on" feel to it. "/ "loveless is a good ambient soundtrack to college couples making out" Hmmm, why do you pay so much credence to to review to the extent that your "opinion" is at times identical to someone elses? I find this a bit weird. Unless it's all a big coincidence! " just my opinion, i know no one else agrees" Ugh, yeah, apart from Mark Prindle! |
PWNED!

I don't know, i like MBV, but i'm not really excited about all that jazz |

Not so my foulmouthed friend. I purchased two tickets for the Sunday show not 30 minutes ago. Check the Roundhouse website. They might still have some left. |
Hey,
I've a piddling Glasgow ticket up for sale (face price of course) and was wondering if anyone wants it... |
isnt it funny when a band everyone loves reforms or becomes popular agin that everyone decides they are to be knocked........

Not so, my friend. My Bloody Valentine were a truly great band when they had a right to ba called a band, but you can't deny that this is fraud, unless the original members (or more than one of them) was in this incarnation. Sorry, but this is just not the My Bloody Valentine that I have experienced and it is sad that a younger generation get to see the shadow of them playing live. This is not to say that the gigs are going to be bad, nobody can tell till they play them. |
What are you on about? Do you mean it's not MBV unless Dave Conway and Tina are playing? The line-up for the forthcoming gigs is Kevin, Bilinda, Debbie and Colm, unless you know something we don't.
|
It seems like you know more than I do. Read the thread.

Oh, you mean this??? Come on, that's a joke, shirley? Debbie Googe has built the official website herself and the posters/tickets have a picture of the classic line-up. Bobby Gillespie on guitar! |

ew ew ew. not funny. |

If that's the case, my heartfelt apologies. |
Quote:
I was beginning to wonder if you'd gone barmy.:) Bobby Gillespie?! Pshaw! |
ELVIS.
|
if bilinda, debbie and colm are not in the band, why not bill it as "the kevin shields experience presenting the songs of my bloody valentine"? oh right...
anyhoo, if kevin shields and his new smashing pumpkins came to mexico, i would surely go see him because i'd love to hear mbv songs live, although i doubt they can be played by just anyone. i love mbv to bits, but call it for what it is and stop the nostalgia cash in!!!! |
just call it "feedback out of loud amps cuz we needed money "

Quote:
But they ARE in the band! Kevin Shields says so, all the publicity I have read says so, and the poster has their photo's on it. Who actually knows any different? Show me your sources. |
a) where have you read this, bloodbeach? seems to me they always mention kevin shields and that's it.
b) the posters, well, it's not like they are new photos; besides, would you go see them if the poster said "my bloody valentine" and you only recognized one face in the pic? bottomline is, it says "reunion" but so it said with the smashing pumpkins. |
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Guest Informant again.

because if they only sold one ticket respectivly for each show they'd be fucked. I dont think anyone expected it to sell like it has. Maybe they did. ohhhhh but yeah i was also under the impression it was original line-up where the hell did the other info came from. That VBS interview ol' kev said something about it not just being up to him this time because the others were involved. Should I expect the amount of noise, or whatever, to freak out my friends? |
Quote:
Are you sure about this? |
Somebody now wishes they had bought tickets.

Not really. I generally find reunions a crass form of entertainment, especially if the musicians in question are has-beens with nothing to offer that is either fresh or interesting. Remember this is 2007, not 1991. I have had the pleasure to see MBV when they meant something, not sure about yourself. The only band that would get me excited if there were talks about a reunion would be Loop, but that is a very unlikely thing to happen, as the gentlemen separate themselves from the plebs like no others. |

Still can - they've added a fourth London date - Monday 23 June. |

yeah, im from a pretty shit town with shit people so im not sure myself how to gauge things.. I'll rarly bump into a person that knows little beyond nothing. Its kind of like people that'd be into this stuff dont exist. |
the mbv 2008 line up is colm, belinda kevin and debbie. i thought debbie ruled herself out of it because of other commitments but obviously the lure of mbv is bigger than the pull of her other band.... snow something???

I'm in this boat. It's a real shame I didn't see MBV back in the day, and their records are still pretty good, but I missed it because I was busy being too young, so I might as well get on with my adult life raving about the shows I have seen by people who haven't reformed. ATR in '97, Urusei Yatsura in '97, Melt Banana in '99, Keiji Haino and NNCK several times... you get the idea. Having said that, one of my favourite shows of the year was by Faust. |
Faust never actually broke up though, did they?
They're just geezers is all. I saw MBV back in the day, and was underwhelmed. It was the loudest show I have ever seen, but that was the most noteworthy thing about it. To be fair, I know a lot of people who saw the same show and thought it was incredible, but I was not one of them. And I was totally jacked to see them too. I actually enjoyed Ride's first tour and Slowdive much more live. |
I'm pretty sure Faust went on hiatus/ split up after Faust IV, then 're-grouped' in the mid-90s. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Actually, don't correct me, you'll still be dead inside whatever.
I think with someone like Faust, or Silver Apples (I'm well excited about seeing them this year) or a handful of others is that they never got their dues back in the day. Although Faust did sell loads of the Faust tapes. Still, I'm sure there are plenty of bands out there who need a smidge more credit. The Monks re-union didn't come to much. Whereas MBV are in a million 'best of' lists. They're not as vaunted as some bands, but they're certainly vaunted a gash-load more than many genuinely better bands. |
OK then, I'll take your word for it.
I saw Silver Apples in 1997 and they were still pretty great. Michael Yonkers' re-emergence is one of the greatest things I have had the pleasure to witness. Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru has totally still got it too. I'm sure MBV will do very well for themselves with this. |
