Yawn NO NEW IDEAS

Yawn NO NEW IDEAS Of course, it's a rip-off. They know it is and I don't think they're trying to hide the fact. It's just a homage to the Dylan video and that's the whole intention and (new) idea behind it.

O yeah....and as to whether they're boring or not. Yeh they're kinda amusing and I do like the records...but call me cynical, its getting a little tired now!! Its like yeh, you're mad and crazy and the live shows are spontaneous and "out there"...does anyone else find it a bit predictable ? I do have a soft spot for 'em tho....like the way you would for the mad old aunt in the corner who gets too drunk at weddings..

I think they have a real Prog rock kinda sound which in a way is ironic considering that the likes of Genesis and Yes are very uncool. Even their liveshows are a throw back to early Genesis and Peter Gabriel wearing all sorts of ridiculous garb and what not. The guitarist even sits down.

Ha ha...that's brilliant, sounds like the kinda thing the wonderful Bill Bailey would say O s**t...maybe you're being serious...Ironic prog rock...oooh er missus !
