Snore. Not going.

Everyone here is bored of KOL anyway, I doubt it'll be a day to remember. But it will sell out as Mondeo man loves to go to Slane.

It's weird, I love KOL, yet the only thing I really love is Caleb's voice. The music is crap, the drums are crap and they're crap live, but his voice carries the whole band.

This should be the gig that Kevin Carter/Ocean Spray is ritually sacrificed never to be played again, Sean Reed can burn his saxophone and KOL lead singer bloke can come on and sing OOOOOOOOOOOOH YOUR SAX IS ON FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE, and the world will rejoice.

But God it's come to this.

Lol at the idea of KOL supporting the manics by the way.

Manics supporting KOL? Oh god no. Supporting Foo Fighters was okay I guess, but KOL?

How things change. Back in 2004 on Jools, KOL were probably (not) looking up to MSP, a few years before KOL hit the big time, and now possibly this gig.

Wire's surely slated these Kings in the past?

KOl are one of the most boring live bands ever. They just play the songs. Which i guess is enough for some people yet they don't engage with the audience at all. They act like it's putting themselves out to even announce the title of a song. I'm all for a bit of attitude on stage but you have to back it up with entertainment and personality.

I'd rather take a real one and train it to shit just at the right moment. Or even better a whole flock and be like the bird lady from Home Alone 2

Yikes. Bit of a step down. KOL are the musical embodiment of the word 'meh'.
