Saw The Editors support REM today, and they were exactly how I expected them to be: Very very average and extremely repetitive. How some people don't get bored of this band I will never know. How the fuck are they so popular??

Guillemots also supported, they are a strange band. Pretty poor also tho.

REM? There is only so many times I can see them play Losing My fucking Religion and Man On The bastard Moon. Why do people mosh to Man on the Moon?? It's not a particularly jumpy song.

i saw R.E.M. this year and i wasnt impresed. I had seen them before and they put on a good show and i enjoy all the classics. They just didn't have umph in thier music this time. He was funny though.

Coz I quite like REM - My sister's a massive fan and I went along with her. They were pretty decent, but sadly I can't choose the people who go to the gig or the support bands.

And what's wrong with not being impressed and just expressing myself eh? I'd never listened to Guillemots too much before, heard The Editors enough in the pub but just thought they weren't as great as people make them out to be.

I like Peter bucks side band the Minus5 better myself . He gets utterly wasted and sits back and plays bass for Scott McCaughy
