Cornelius isn't really a noise musician, he's got more in common with Pizzicato Five than with Merzbow. He uses lots of pop samples and electronic sounds, kind of like a japanese Beck, but more interesting perhaps. Anyway, I saw he's playing Amsterdam as well, although I'm not sure yet if I'll go. Ghost are very good live indeed.
My point wasn't so much that they're all crap bands, but more that I don't understand why the fans are picking so much standard bands that are already touring regularly anyway. I mean it's not like Wilco or Mogwai rarely play in the UK or something. It's the one ATP where the fans can have their opinions heard yet it's the one ATP that looks more ordinary than most other ATPs. Missed opportunity.
