Me and GL1Blue so far. Listen to the Mobland theme and let me know what you think.

Starburster was influenced by the nu metal of Korn, as per their songwriter. Fontaines D.C. are very open about their influences and they have never once mentioned Kasbian. Are you familiar with their back catalogue? I'd say Starburster is the least representative of their sound thus far. Although the song has turned out to be wildly popular and has also received industry recognition, it is actually my least favourite Fontaines song!

Yup,there is a considerable amount of complete piss heads who are old enough to know better in South Wales. Grim.

I go to gigs around the UK, I must admit, it seriously looked like South Wales has a massive Alcohol and Weed problem, alot of people were struggling to stand, it was a little sad to see

I am familiar with their back catalog. I'm sure you're familiar with Kasiabian, in which case you will have heard how much Starburster sounds like them. As for the Korn thing, I'm not really hearing it.

I occasionally get dragged along to some tribute acts, but most of the acts I really want to see are...dead.

Never paid much attention to their music, can't even spell their name! So, if we are looking at a potential plagiarism case, which tunes are we looking at that sound like Starburster?

He's someone I have wanted to see for years so I got my ticket as soon as they went on sale. I'm not happy about this.

Same here, not sure if he ever played Glastonbury (he must have) but I didn’t get to see him on any of my 5 visits…..doubt I’ll ever get to see him live now. Heard he’s not in the best of health mind?

Re: Lifting the doom…..gigs this summer?

Ive seen more adverts for Neil Young over the past few days than for anyone else. I thought maybe it was because of poor sales, but seems he's cancelled all of his European gigs this summer.

Couldn’t help but notice the Kooks mention. I went to Halsey’s gig on Sunday and she brought out the lead singer of the Kooks and they performed Naive, so am getting into that song now!

Saw Simple Minds at Audley End 3 years ago...not too bad at all.
