went to see kasabian last night at brixton academy. a one off show while they are doing the festival here and there.
i just wanna say these guys are fuckin rockin at the moment. in 16 years of going to gigs i have never seen a crowd reaction like i saw last night. they closed there set with lost souls forever, every one in the crowd chanting the closing mantra. even after the band had finnished the set the crowd kept chanting. exiting the academy, a flood of people hitting the brixton streets every one was still chanting, as if we were leaving a football match. even 20 minutes later in the car you could still hear people chanting, it was magic.
got to say i think the new album will be every bit as good as their first, new track the doberman is awesome!! 12 day to the new album, go and buy it. it'll be wicked

sneaker, stash and I saw Kasabian a few months ago and they were really really good. They had the raw energy of a band that (if they can keep it together even with the band drama they've experienced lately) who has the capacity to go far.
I'm glad to t hear the crowd were as into it as they were - the crowd where I was was could've been more up for it, then again that's Orange County California for ya!
Anyway, I can't wait to hear the new album!

In ten years of so, they'll be forgotten. The bands of today aren't particulary great.
Hmm I beg to differ, I think Kasabian really cut it this time round, If their new album is as good as their first. They wont be forgotten. Thats what I think anyway, you could be right...

You know, there's some bands that shouldn't last... they're there for the moment when they need to be, to sum up a zeitgeist, and then fade into obscurity... the Stone Roses, the Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, they were never meant to exist in a time like we live know, they were perfect for the moments immediately after the cold war, when it seemed like there was hope for the first time in 50 years... Primal Scream managed to adapt, but comparing Screamadelica to XTRMNTR, they don't sound like the same people at all, and it doesn't really matter that they happen to be the same band, they might as well be a completely different act.
So, in short, IMO, Kasabian is perfect for right now, and don't need to exist beyond that.

The same shit was said about "bands of today" back before you and the rest of us were even born. Some bands stick, some of them don't. Who cares - life's too short to not enjoy something that's good right now.

Wonder what Ed and Toms thoughts on them are.
Does anyone know whats happening with a member leaving the band, whats the story?

I read on the Kasabian site that there were creative differences, and I *think* it was the lead guitarist who was asked to leave.

as long as the lead vocalist is there, a band is always the same band, as far as I'm concerned.... except for Genesis without peter gabriel
That's not true... Led Zepellin couldn't be Led Zepellin anymore when John Bonham died...

I said as far as I'm concerned.... I've never listened to Led Zepellin.
To me, the rest of the band is just their to provide something for the lead singer to put his lyrics to. The music is almost always secondary to the lyrics.
Except of course for a very small select number of musicians, Tom and Ed and Fatboy being the only ones I can think of right now.
