The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

As long as it's not Bobby Gillespie to "return the favour" it'll be ok. Maybe a return of flautist from Loveless tour?

a ragga MC?

that would be make slightly less meh about the atp line up.

flautist?...what the...flautist?!...I seen 'em twice on the Loveless tour, and I ain't seen no flautist!

henry, you made me wonder if I had a false memory event, but no:

Anna Quimby: MBV's flautist

when I saw them at Birmingham Institute for the Loveless tour she dealt with the high <ahem> flutey sample sounds that are all over the album. Did you see them in the UK or elsewhere, maybe she didn't tour overseas?

A litany of humorous comments from Tool fans regarding MBV's live performance (apparently, they had to sit through MBV to see Tool immediately afterward at All Points West NY this weekend):

Fuser0118 (1 day ago)
these people sucked!!

brohan914 (23 hours ago)
I was there, and I didn't really get these guys

PiePie1992 (22 hours ago)
This band sucked ass.

HoboCabbage (17 hours ago)
i guess im not artsy enough to enjoy this, i thought it sounded like a wall of suck

This band was awful! They just made a shitload of crap noise and you couldn't even hear them sing. On top of that they looked like zombies!!!
nobody wanted to see their shitty performance!

PiePie1992 (28 minutes ago)
I also liked Gogol Bordello and The Arctic Monkeys. Leading into it I thought I would enjoy MBV. Guess not.
But you're right, I'm a Tool fan, I'm just a closed minded dickhead.

Those are from YouTube, btw.

shocker

Few forms are discourse are lower than the YouTube comment.

I like Lateralus, but Tool's entire discography doesn't even come close to what MBV accomplished with Loveless.

One half-decent MBV picture from All Points West on P4K: http://pitchfork.com/news/36093-report-all-points-west-liberty-state-park-nj-073109-080209/

One friend told me a decent amount of Tool fans had their middle fingers in the air from the 2-3 minute point of the "noise wall" onward.

How surprising!

I wonder if their arms got tired.

funny, i only know one heavy Tool fan, and he loves MBV.

Tool's drummer should have soloed over the noise bit.

Is it the poster immediately before you? xp

Yeah I'm a little surprised at there being such a huge audience split -- a little, not completely. Sure seems like a lot of newer metal bands love both equally. (Cue Chuck E. posting about why said love is the problem with modern metal...)

hee hee, Tool just played a big festival out here, and I think they went on after .... Widespread Panic. Wonder if there were any middle fingers during that set.

Tool fans are an insular, tribal sort. I bet it had less to do with MBV and more to do with the fact that it was not Tool.

Anyone know how Tool fans reacted to King Crimson, Isis, Meshuggah and other past opening acts?

maybe not though ... might be a different thing if it's a festival setting or if it's a band that the mighty Tool have deigned worthy to open for them.

btw, MBV were pretty excellent last night at the Way Out West festival in Göteborg, Sweden.

I saw tool once b/c a friend had an extra ticket she couldn't get rid of. Tomahawk opened for them. There was a lot of heckling and middle fingers, but I'm not sure how much of that was because Mike Patton wouldn't stop insulting the audience and hoe much was because tool fans are dicks.
ps-tool were boring. The only show I've ever fallen asleep at.

So, as the "wall" is part of the last song, were the tool fans fingerhappy during the rest of the set?

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere (it would take forever to check all the MBV posts on all the threads):

tweets outta atp: MBV are playing Sometimes. Oh my goodness something aaargh

Things yelled at Kevin during ATP set, and Kevin's reply:

"Play new stuff!"
(away from the mic but still remotely audioble) "no"

"Honey Power"
"ok"

"Loomer"
"cant remember the tuning"

ha ha i think that may have been my companion shouting for loomer

new album out tomorrow!

A new album you say?

You guys know that this is just his pseudonym/fake band, right?

Fwiw the RDS alb is super rad.

Yes, I know. Because it's MBV.

They've aged well.

I think they're just masters of disguise.

That fake looking moustache isn't fooling anyone.

wat

We are very proud to announce the re-mastered versions of Loveless and Isn't Anything are due for release on Monday 7th May.

We will also be releaseing a brand new compilation, EP's 1988-1991, which will include the 4 EP's from that period, plus other rare and previously unreleased tracks. Stay tuned for more.... MBV.

Please note, no year specified.

ooh, 3 unreleased tracks, Angel, Good for You, How Do You Do It (are these the same as those Kevin/Belinda/Cowboy songs from a while back?)

xp lol. also, 'releasing' is spelled wrong so they were obviously hacked.
