^^ Haha I'm a Muse fan and I don't hate you! :nice:

I don't know what it's like over there, but I know that pretty much EVERYONE here knows Muse and (relatively) very few know Kasabian... sad I know. But from here I can see that it makes sense for Kasabian to support Muse. Plus Muse have been around for much longer so I suppose they've a got a more established fan-base than Kasabian. Either way, a concert with both would be heaven :dead:

 

Yah, same in the U.S. :\ more ppl should know Kasabian.

 

Got this on twitter:

 

Kasabian reveal their latest release

Football mad Tom and Serge have revealed their latest release, the new England football team away kit, as Kasabian become the first ever band to launch a football shirt.

 

The striking red shirt manufactured by Official Kit Supplier Umbro was appropriately unveiled away from home at the band's gig in Paris' Olympia Theatre (temporarily the 'stadt de Kasabian'?) on February 9.

 

Speaking about the launch and new shirt, lead singer Tom Meighan said, "It's brilliant to be the first band ever to launch an England shirt and where better to launch this particular kit than away from home? When Umbro approached us to represent England away we jumped at the chance as we are all football fans and loved the idea of revealing the England away shirt when playing in the country of one of our great footballing rivals."

 

Two and a half thousand French Kasabian fans witnessed the unveiling during the band's performance of Fire in the encore, in a gig that would possibly be described by football commentators as "classic Kasabian through and through."

 

New team shirts are by general convention, usually unveiled by squad players, Trevor Cairns, Umbro Chief Marketing Officer explained the new approach, "For the launch of the latest England away shirt Umbro decided to turn to other Englishmen who, like the England team, represent the nation abroad. We came up with the idea of approaching an English band on tour. Like a football team, they are 'away' when performing in other countries. Kasabian are as passionate about their football as their music so it's brilliant that they agreed to wear the shirt in Paris."

 

The shirt will be worn by the England squad for the first time during their friendly with Egypt at Wembley on March 3rd and is available to pre-order now, which is just as well - as you will see in the photos Tom swapped his with the audience at the end of the gig.

 

Check out the exclusive pics and Tom's interesting take on the post-match shirt swap.

 

Watch a video of Tom revealing the shirt at the gig on Umbro.com.

Yeah, I think the w/end tickets must have sold out in the first 15 minutes while I was sitting there madly refreshing and trying to even get into a queue. All the websites I had open kept crashing, they obviously couldn't cope with the volumes of traffic :bigcry:

 

Anyway job done. Roll on August :dance: :dance: :dance:

 

Kasabian's Tom Meighan says the band are planning to cover New Order's Italia 90 World Cup song 'World In Motion' at their headline appearance at this year's V Festival.

 

Despite the fact the South African World Cup will have finished by the time the Leicester band play V, Meighan says he likes the idea of re-living the competition – and may even get Keith Allen (who co-wrote the song) to make an appearance. "You know, we may well call up Lily Allen's dad and we'll do 'World In Motion' again," he quipped (The Sun).

 

haha that'd be fun - Keith Allen rocks :lol:

Ooooh I love that pic. He does look a little like the Ewan MacGregor Kenobi (not the Alec Guiness version lol) And his house looks great, love all the pitures on the walls. :thumbsup:

 

I'm watching the NME awards on telly now too...still waiting for Kasabian. :( Unfortunately there's a lot of idiots to sit thru, like Courtney Love... jeez...:sick: C'mon me wantz Vlad... :whip:

 

edit: They didn't play Vlad?!?!?!? Or did I miss it? :\ I lol'd at Tom's acceptance speech tho "Suck it!" :laugh3: And they were so sweet talking about Paul Weller on the VT :D

 

haha...yeah. same thought! i think if i didn't already know who Tom Meighan is i might've mistaken him for Ewan (who is also a Star Wars fanboy).

 

& i think you did miss it. cos they played Vlad complete with Noel Fielding onstage tossing goodies at the crowd as Vlad. :confused:

in Malaysia, practically everyone knows who The All-American Rejects are & barely any know about Kasabian...& Kasabian were the headline act while The All-American Rejects were the 2nd billing at the MTV World Stage event back in August 09. :rolleyes:
