Helders is such a dude. My mate used to life coach him which is hilarious as he's not someone you'd want coaching you. He turned up to Helders house once for a party, already steaming and ate lasagne with his hands.

This is really disappointing so far. I hate the vocals, they're sapping all the dynamism from the songs

Sorry lads but it’s a nonsense as “live music or contemporary arts”. I appreciate it could be fun, people knowing the words, drunk and in the sun. If I was in a club and I heard those songs I’d think “that’s alright” and dance along to it. I read he writes songs too, that’s a talent.
But it’s a nonsense as far as having it second to last - second stage Glasto as some sort of live spectical. It is a guy playing music from an iMac, it cannot be dressed up as anything else. Yea he’s very good at playing music from an iMac but he’s still just playing music from an iMac.
I mean, none of this is right at all.

How do you feel about Daft Punk?

He's been like this for years, I don't know why he couldn't have left that style with The Last Shadow Puppets tbh, he's just butchering all the classics.

Such a let down so far, used to one of my favourite bands but he's lost me these days.

Artic monkeys are boring me to death. They've got such a decent catalogue too, always wonder why bands like this on the headlining days don't just play what people want to hear? Turns into such self indulgent crap

Almost respect this level of shite ness. It’s like a comedy/parody performance from Turner.

Your not Johnny Cash your from Sheffield.

Really? When I've seen other live clips they've seemed decent but maybe they were older.

I love this band, but this is just plodding and boring.

I'm in the minority here but I'm enjoying this. That said if I were there I'd be watching Chemical Brothers (saw AM a few weeks back).

Did he sing like this then as well?

I saw Chemical Brothers at Glastonbury last time I went (2014, I think) - they were so good. Light show was ace too

You'll always get a banger of a show with the Chems.

Saw them last week at the Emirates and he’s turned his mic up by about a thousand since then. This style works with songs off the Car but not the old stuff. He hit the balance last week, not so much today…

Four out of five sounded shit last week and no change this :lol:

Good recording act, not to be taken seriously as “live performers”.

Officially the best poker player on RAWK.
His voice isn't shot. He just does this shit and has done for ages.

Only surprise is he hasn't changed the lyrics to be edgy yet. I guess he even bottles the act at Glastonbury.

Funniest thing was Liam calling him out on it ages ago. "He dresses like a Teddy boy and pretends, but does he go home to his mum dressed like that?"

Yeah sang the same, but has for a few years now so wasn't a surprise.

Chem Bros is just a DJ set though. Wouldn't be pushed by that. Seeing them live is an experience though!

Yep, this has been years in the making, nothing new at all, it all started with the Shadow Puppets.

He cancelled their Dublin gig earlier this week with laryngitis, hence the comments about his voice being shot. But it's actually improving as he goes.

TBF, he's probably well off his tits right now, but still, it's his style these days.

The first Shadow Puppets album isn't like this at all
I know, but that's when this crooning style started to creep it's way into the Arctics.

Also the first Shadow album was great, loved it.

Sad seeing a band ruining their own great songs. Still the crowd seem to be enjoying it though.

Their performance is just lacking a lot of energy. Sounds like they’ve lost the crowd a bit.

Wow. It's impressive how aggressively ignorant you're being. I saw Daft Punk live in 97. It's one of the best gigs I've ever been to. They put on an amazing show and worked the crowd expertly.
They don't just hit play on a playlist ffs.

Not surprised people aren't getting on with the AM set. Even before their sound changed I never thought they were a particularly good live act, the change in sound made them less so again. And I say that preferring at least one of their two most recent albums over most of the ones before that, so it's not like I'm not on board generally.
