You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I was wondering if any City fans were going to see The Killers at Wembley? And who listens to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I think they're appalling and should be grateful that the 'indie' scene was in a healthy state when they broke through. They wouldn't stand a chance if they released their debut album today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have our opinions I actually like them, I grew up listening to there music so it kind of got drilled into me, I found out you either love them or hate them But you could say that about many bands who if they release there debut album now it wouldn't sell very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I like the Killers. Sams Town, whilst not brilliant, is one of my favourite albums. I genuinely love it but can't really explain why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Never seen them (the closest I came was at Glasto in 2007, but it was a choice of them or Iggy and the stooges... there was only one winner there!!) and they aren't really for me, however for a brief time as a student I did listen to their debut album quite a bit and it does hold some good tracks on it- Mr Brightside etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Mr Brightisde is one of the all time classic Anthems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 get there early so you can see gaslight anthem supporting National Express are running a coach service for the concert, So I'll get there at 2 and be back at 2 in the morning, So I won't miss a thing, The tickets are almost sold out, Which for Wembley stadium would mean around 100,000 considering you can stand on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way its still a massive crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way its still a massive crowd! Yeah I've checked the seating, And they take around 15,000 seats because of the stage, And 5-10,000 standing or lower tier seats, So your correct It's going to be full I know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm going will be the 5th time I'm seeing them, i think they are fantastic live . Also off to see Muse this month at the Emirates and Madness at Chepstow Racecouse in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Saw them at the RDS in Dublin a few years back: decent band, not great, but certainly not the worst music I have listened to, nor the worst band I have seen live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yep I'll be there, looking forward to it. Last gig I saw at Wembley was Muse and that was immense so it will be a tough act to follow. I have mixed opinions about their latest album, the stuff I like, I really like but parts of it I'm not massively keen on at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Saw them at V. Very good live. Like or hate you have to respect an artist/band that can perform live to a decent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hot Fuss was great, Sams Town still decent, went right down hill after that for me watched them headline glasto in maybe 2007?? Which in theory should have been best time to catch them. Remember being a little dissapointed, but partly because i think the sound technical guys let them down a bit. Also remember ruing the decision to miss Iggy (great shout cider-manc), where some people in the tent next to us managed to rush the stage. I would echo the shout from an oldmixonred about gaslight anthem. really underated. If you dont know a lot about them most albums are good, but for me the album '59 sound' is absolutely brilliant. Was one of my fav albums the year it was released and still love listeniung to it today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hot Fuss was great, Sams Town still decent, went right down hill after that Agree. I saw The Killers at the Academy just after they released Hot Fuss. Fantastic gig. I need to get into Gaslight as I'm a massive fan of The Hold Steady.

I need to get into Gaslight as I'm a massive fan of The Hold Steady. Was that on the NME tour when its was something like £10 to see Kilers/Bloc Party/Kaiser Chiefs and maybe Franz Ferdinand on the same bill? Remember it as my mates gf got him a ticket but he binned her shortly before , couldnt go, and then aboput 2 years later he was gutted as they were some of the biggest bands in UK by then P.S realy cant reccomend 59 sound album enough by gaslight. all albums are pretty consistent with a couple of cracking tracks, but this one IMO is great pretty much start to finish.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Looking forward to it all, Listened to a couple of Gaslight songs on the old youtube and there actually really good, I was expecting some kind of mediocre music but I was pleasantly surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
