Slane 2011

Only by the night is one of only three albums I have ever bought twice.  Once for the house and once for the car.

You must be flush! Never thought of running off a copy onto a blank disc?

Music so lacking in imagination wouldn't stimulate the brain.

I tend not to use copied cd's simply because I feel the sound quality is (albeit slightly) degraded on the copy.  Even though I store most of my music in either FLAC or Apple Lossless files I still prefer the sound of an original cd.  Given I picked up the second copy for about 4 quid in Tesco, I think its worth it for the good, well recorded albums.

I doubt any difference in quality would be noticeable in a car stereo.

I notice it

I'm very excited by Kings of Leon and have thought their last two albums have been their best yet

Should there be a sacasm alert on this? Come Around Midnight is definitely an improvement over Only By The Night, but neither album is a patch on any of the first three.

The clocks are meant to go back this weekend, not forward. It's Come Around Sundown.

Oops... Either way it's still a pale shadow of their older work.

Bon Jovi in the RDS in June and KOL in Slane in August.. next year is looking set to be a good concert year 

Bon Jovi and Kings of Leon in the same sentence

Which one don't you like & why?

Bon Jovi because they're worse than rubbish, I'd rather listen to bangers year round than be in the vicinity of the RDS in June.

Signs of a good band/singers is the longevity for example i don't like Kylie Minogue,Madonna music but have huge respect for how long they have lasted proving they are not rubbish

King of leon started in the late 90s & would love to last as long as Bon Jovi

They are half way there.

So explain why Bon Jovi have been going for the best part of 30 years?

[Puckoon]

Because he has written music that a fan base wants to hear. Doesnt matter a bit whether he has done it for 30 years or 3 months. Fair play to him that he has gone on for so long - but that in itself does not make the band or the artist good.

[Lawrence of Knockbride]

Because they/somebody else writes songs for them that they know people want to hear and they market them very well. Is that what dictates what  good band is?

Because not everybody has taste

They do seem to be continuing to live off their work in the first 15 years.
