Mr. Brightside Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Paramore were excellent tonight, but they played too much new stuff. Hayley Williams is a goddess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were very good, but the encore was bizarre when Zac Farro came forward to sing one of his own songs, which nobody had ever heard. If you HAVE to do that do it earlier in the set, fell totally flat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should've been something like Brick By Boring Brick or similar, not his shitty bands stuff. Also finishing with Rose Coloured Boy was poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Paramore were excellent tonight, but they played too much new stuff. Hayley Williams is a goddess. The massive spiel before Misery Business was a right pain in the arse. Encore was just genuinely bizarre and just left me slightly confused and a feeling of 'is that it?' Overall I had a brilliant time and they still put on a great show but could have been better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the spiel, Hayley can talk for as long as she wants in my opinion. Agree with the rest though. I saw them back in 2009 or 2010 when they were touring Brand New Eyes, which should've been excellent, but they were gash. I think that was when they were all falling out and to add to that it was in the SECC. So I was very pleased they were so good last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’m not a big Paramore fan and only know the hits that you see on tv, but they were excellent last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Was at Steel Panther last night in the O2 Academy...ears are still ringing like big ben...fantastic show...flawless musicianship and hilarious banter plus plenty of flashers in the audience. As for the support acts, wayward sons were pretty bland but Inglorious were fantastic, will definitely be keeping an eye out for them returning to Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wasn't impressed with Paramore. 3/4 of their setlist was new songs which was fine - but I'm not a fan of Duran Duran so didn't enjoy that. The encore was absolutely awful too.Thought it was interesting that the whole.speech about how out of touch she is with the old material came before easily the most energetic song of the night. Paramore should have stayed dead all those years ago and made way for The Hayley Williams Experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Looks like my feelings of Paramore are the same as others on here. I remember seeing them in King Tuts back in 2006 or 2007 with a few hundred other people so it's quite incredible to see them playing in front of thousands and thousands of fans but they no longer make music that is appealing to me. It was a good performance but the setlist was far too heavy on songs from After Laughter and the encore was just bizarre. I got bored and left before the end. I think that's probably the last time I'll see them TBH. Highlights were Misery Business and That's What You Get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Not been to a gig in what feels like ages, but back at it in a big way this week. Was at The Ninth Wave last night at Tuts who were excellent (as were the support Das Plastixx, but I manage them, so I have to say that), then have the John Martyn tribute on Tuesday, The Deslondes on Wednesday, Lylo's album launch on Friday and The Americans on Sunday.

After your gloating about the amount of presale tickets you bought, this post makes me very happy. Although the encore sounds hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, probably deserves that one!Seriously, they were off stage for 30 seconds, played a song I'd never heard, "covered" their drummer's equally awful sounding side project, and then played another song from their new album.Set list was a disaster in general, their first three songs were probably the most well known too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My brother knowing I like 80s shite got the wife and I tickets to see Go West, Cutting Crew and Nik Kershaw next month at the Playhouse. Probably be the youngest couple there. Do I care? Do I f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I had a freebie for Nik Kershaw in 2012 when he was touring "Human Racing" in full, and it was really good. Not really familiar with his stuff but he's a good live act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d never heard Grow Up before?Their first three songs were Hard Times, Ignorance and Still Into You, they went on to play That’s What You Get 6th and Misery Business 14th, which are two better known songs than at least 2 of the first 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
