Wall of Mouths

Does anyone know if there is likely to be anymore?? Or will I have to trek up to London on my own again :(

Got this album the other day and totally love it!! Would really recommend others checking them out.

Gonna have to go catch ‘em live at some point as their singer looks totally crazy…

Did anyone go to his Southampton gig last night?? Was absolutely amazing, despite the fact he only played 4 or 5 Wildhearts songs.

I nearly didnt go as I was totally shagged after going to Glastonbury (where my tent got swept away down a river that formed under my tent :p ) but am so glad I did.

was absolutley usless at work today as a result though…

Still a fucks sight better than Kings of Leon, The Libertines ( who are the worst band of all time ), The Kaiser cheifs ( who are shit ), Franz Ferdinand ( who ARE boring ) etc etc etc…There are no decent british bands around now…Feeder are dull as fuck now..every song sounds identical…

Lets see what franz F, kaiser ciefs et al sound like when they are on their 6th albums…Hopefully Pete Doherty will be dead by then and we wont have to be subjected to his talent free shit anymore

And that British band Therapy? God they’re shit… oh wait ;)

Quite a different setlist from the Soton, we didnt hear Found that Soul, Ocean Spray(thank God!!!), No Surface All Feeling or To Repel Ghosts, but then again we had Empty Souls, 1985, The Girl Who Wanted to be God and the Mighty 4st 7lbs, So I was more than happy :D

Archives of pain starts kind of acoustically though, sounds good though. Saw them in SOton on sunday and they were amazing!

Cant understand why no-one likes Lifeblood - it’s by far their best album since Everything Must Go IMO.

Title: UK dates… anymore??

Are there going to be any more UK dates announced, or just the 3 stated? I thought they were going to do a Pompey date after the cancelled one although I realise that may be what the Brighton date is for. Bit hard for me to get there though… :(

Dont think I could pick 5 but the best by far must be Pure by 3cr off pure. When it kicks in it’s fantastic!!

You have no idea how starved for decent hard rock and metal gigs we are here in IRELAND.

99 times out of 100 we are left out of European tours.

Mainly because most bands consider us part of the UK…!!!

BUT WE’RE NOT…!!!
(touchy subject for some, so we’ll just leave it at that)

Look I know you’re bitter about it but just accept the fact that you’re not good enough to be part of the UK :D ;)

Quote (author unknown):

[i]All in all… not worth the cash, and considering they had about 5 years to write the damn thing, I’d expect a LOT more.

They havent taken 5 years though, as they have all been in different bands so any material from the new album would’ve been fairly recent i would think.

Although it is safe to say the new album isnt the best, and I cant say I like the new political direction either (although I dont like any band being very political) I do think it’s more consistent and perhaps a bit better than Revolt, which had too many bad songs on it.

Actually got something through from their mailing list yesterday, and it looks like they are releasing a two cd set from their first two albums!! A best of and some b-sides. Bit bloody pathetic if you ask me after just two albums.

Don’t bother with the new album, it’s… middle-aged.

I think it’s pretty good actually. Much more consistent than Revolt (although it lacks a really stand-out track like Paralyze). Doesnt come close to Pure though, whiich imho, is one of the finest albums ever!!

Got some more info on this now, they will be playing alot of stuff off the Holy Bible on this tour, as well as Lifeblood, so will be a absolute kickass show!!

I cant flaming wait :D

Why would that be sensible for them to split up? Just because they dont have as many fans as they used to and you didnt like their last album?? T? would have split years ago based on that logic yet they are still making quality albums and playing small venues and we still love them.

MSP singles are still charting really well and they were the most popular act at the Tsunami gig the other week, so I dont think they are finished yet. I’m loving the chance to see them in smaller venues personally.

That album is class!! Only got it yesterday (£5.99 on play.com) but I already love it. Probably their best work since The Holy Bible.

Quality that they are playing Soton, first time they will have played there in almost 10 years!! Support for the Delays too, cant wait.

Looks like The Wildhearts are on hiatus again. He has joined another band to “get his spirits up”. Statement from him below…

I have been offered the job playing second guitar, as well as helping write the
new album, for The Brides Of Destruction. This does not mean that The Wildhearts
are over, it just means that I am going through a traumatic time of my life and
need a break from being the frontman/chief in charge.

My spirits are low and my performance as a lead singer would not be worth the
admission fee, believe me. I cannot stop playing music however, and the offer to
join The Brides has come at a time where I desperately need to concentrate on
something to help me cope, both mentally and emotionally. Tracii and the guys
have been so kind to me, and I am more than grateful for their friendship and
encouragement.

If everyone can kindly allow me the time to heal I would be grateful for the
considerate approach to this most unfortunate of times for me. I trust I can
count on the fans for support, as opposed to knee jerk opinions and malicious
gossip.

Thank you, and never take advantage of the love that you have in your life.

Ginger

Man, I’m never gonna get to here them play any endless nameless! ;)

4 seasons of it in fact

I’ve not been barred, but I have been kicked out of the same pub twice in two minutes!! My friend only had her foreign ID with her when we went into a pub, which they wouldn’t accept so threw us out. Then we went round the corner to what we thought was a different pub but was actually an extension of the same place. We just got our drinks when the bouncer came in and threw us out again :D

Its a clip of helicopter on there, although how it sounds like FF I’m not quite sure. Your right though, helicopter and banquet are fantastic tunes, and their new one is quite good as well. Just a shame little thoughts was so shit!

Jeez you two get a room!!! :rolleyes: ;)

Placebo! Written some quality songs but so dull live.

The Wildhearts are generally a bit shit live as well, although I keep paying to go see them.

Dont you think you’re overdoing it a little bit?? Half the comments on there are about T? :D

it was absolutly brilliant!!! :D

As grateful as I am for this indepth review of the gig, it would perhaps be nice if you could share a little bit more of your evening with Ginger and co. Namely… did they play any Endless Nameless?? ;)

So how was the gig last night?? Gutted I couldnt make it and if I find out they played some Endless Nameless I think I might kill myself ;)

Any particular surprises?

Ticket sold. Mods can delet this if they want.

unless you want an enduring memory of the Wildhearts ticket for sale ;)

The set list was pretty much the same as the one posted from the Aberdeen gig, though Innocent X was kept back for the encore with Teethgrinder moving into the main set.

They played Infernal Love though! First time I’ve heard that played live and it was quality.

Damn fine gig all round.

Ah the truely worst band must be…

Chumba-fucking-wamba

God I hate them!!! :mad: Think they’re still going as well - it’s just not right.

well the dvd they were planning has been canned for now because Gut pulled out, fuck!

I cant say I’m surprised! The Wildhearts are bloody awful at getting anything together and I always had a feeling that this DVD would be pulled again. :mad:

How the hell they cant finance it is beyond me, given that theu have just had a few top 20 hits (or there abouts). Other bands like T? and 3CR are much smaller than The Wildhearts, and yet they can record and release a DVD no problem!

I’m going very much out of my way for this gig, so they’d better bloody play some Endless Nameless instead of the same old same old.

Thanks all.

I forgot about die ärzte, I could only think of Rammstein. I’ve heard of Mordern Talking as well but dont they sing in English?

Title: German Bands

Hi all,

I’m currently learning German and I would like to have a few German albums as by singing along I can get remember words/meanings a lot better.

Can some of my German/Austrian cousins recommend a couple of good albums I can get. Preferrably a band like Therapy?/Wildhearts but indie/metal albums would be good as well.

Vielen Dank (see I’m getting there :p )
