Snow Patrol rocks! If I lay here..If I just lay here..Would you lie with me and just forget the world? :)

I'm kinda disappointed about the deluxe version of the new album, the dvd with 10 tracks recorded during the ‘Reworked Tour’ will be nice but why there isn't some footage from the making of the album ? The new album has been recorded in some amazing places and I'm disappointed because i know they have filmed the recording sessions but we'll not see the footage.

WHY ??????

 

i'm ok with having the reworked tour footage. i think it'll be cool to see that again. Although I do agree with you about the recording sessions. It's a shame but maybe something in the future might bring some of it to the public, maybe a live dvd with bonus footage from the Fallen Empires tour? Because they are well overdue a live performance DVD

North American release date confirmed as January 10th, a full TWO MONTHS after its European release.

 

Absolute poppycock. Thank God for the Internet/importing/etc.

same director, but a very different video altogether (imo)

loving this song even more with each listen...& think Fallen Empires is going to be one helluva album from the lads, once it sees the light of day. can't wait! :)

Once again, video not available in North America. This is getting ridiculous.

EDIT: Ooh, someone was nice and uploaded it elsewhere on Youtube, now to watch it before the label removes the video and suspends their account for some asinine reason.

i'll try to rip it in HD & post the link up here...or rather, the MM area (better correct myself before Anna comes in here with her whip. ;p )

 

actually, does anyone know who exactly this VEVO thing is? practically every major band, artist has a "<artist/band name>VEVO" account on YouTube, it looks legit & all but it's region specific...yet never really says what regions it's available in. :thinking:

 

 

edit: here we go...in HD glory :)

*is going to see them in Januaryyyyyyyyy*

Chasing Cars won Classic song at the Q awards

Congrats boys:thumbsup:

A question!

 

Anyone know when Fallen Empires will be released to the rest of the world i.e. New Zealand? Same day as the UK release?

 

Have been trying to find out the release date for NZ from my local stores online but nothing. :\

Thx for the vid! Gary just wrote on their website that they were the only nominees :laugh3:

 

Oh not wait, it's at HMV Forum Kentish Town..Damn, I was really excited about Shepherds Bush! Got it mixed up with the last gig they did in London haha. But still, what do you guys think?

I went to see Tired Pony (Gary other band) at the HMV Forum, it's a nice venue (the backstage door is on the little alley at the right of the venue). I don't think you have to come that early. SP fans are not as hardcore as CP ones IMO. Just arrive around 3 PM I think. :thinking:

 

@Shred: I think the UK release date is also for worldwide (maybe not USA).

Cool thanks! I hope it's true as I don't want to wait very long for it. Nov is long enough!

Hehe! :hug:

@Shred: I think the UK release date is also for worldwide (maybe not USA).

actually, that isn't always the case. each region has their own release date, which may/may not be same as the UK/US release date.

 

band's got German 2012 dates sorted...when in the world are the UK dates going to be announced??? *sigh* oh, well...am seeing them tomorrow anyway. :dance: :D

 

Hehe! :hug:

can i assume that's for the video? or is it for me being a good girl? ;)

When are they going to announce the UK tour :(

these guys are SO good live!!! especially last night!!! :D

i'm now undecided about whether Empire or Forum gig was better, tho i think sound wise Forum definitely won out thinking back. & i am convinced that Fallen Empires will be their best since Final Straw...the lads are all just so proud of the album & excited about it as it is when you talk to them about it. & it's not even out yet!

 

& i think it's awesome that Gary just walks openly/casually to the venue, bag slung over his shoulder, like he's just one of us gig goers! :wacky:

my pix from the night

 

& here's a fresh live track off Fallen Empires played that night that i recorded... :D

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Tqz_Abv0g]Snow Patrol - Lifening (Q Awards gig, HMV Forum London - 27 Oct 2011) [/ame]

:awesome: this song is so sweet *w* and your pics :dead: you were front row?? They're amazing!!!

yup. was front row kinda between Gary & Nathan (but more towards Nathan's side). :smug:

i got there around 2pm-ish...cos i wanted to have a proper lunch 1st since i hadn't had anything to eat. friend was there since around 1pm & there were already about 5-6 ppl queuing. i am SO happy i could get the day off so that i could queue when i did now... :wink3: :wacky:

 

the security guard on duty that day was awesome! at some point he came & assigned us queue numbers so that we could leave the queue to go get something to eat or just warm ourselves up somewhere. as long as we got back to the queue before 6pm so that he could make sure we get our spots in the queue back as we were worried about pissing off those that show up if/when we leave the queue. & after the gig, he offered those of us waiting for the band mints & told us what time the last trains from Kentish Town were, what night buses we could take back (if he knew) cos he was quite sure they wouldn't be leaving anytime before midnight.

So nice!!!! The security guys for TP aftershow where nice too :)

I've decided not to listen to any new songs except the ones that are out as singles, but your pics are really great!

LOVE the songs, LOVE the pictures. Though I'm still bitter about FE coming out in January here. :sad:.

Glad you had an amazing night, Kimmi! :hug:

It really shows how down to earth and sweet he is, just like the others of course! :)

 

my pix from the night[/url]

Thank you for the pictures! ^^ The "Dance Monkey" banner is pretty funny! Do you think it was the same Swedish girl that came to the Shpeherds Bush Empire gig?

 

So nice!!!! The security guys for TP aftershow where nice too :)

the security guy from TP was very talkative from what I remember! he did seem nice ;)

thanks, guys! have to attribute the great photos overall to my new Canon IXUS camera...i'm no Bradley Quinn! ;)

& yes, it was an amazing day overall Virginie! :hug:

 

agree with you about how down to earth he is to just walk over to the venue. probably took the tube over to Kentish Town for all we know. :)

 

& yes...it was the same Swedish girl with the banner at the Shepherds Bush Empire gig (from the conversation between her & some of the other ppl post gig). her banner got Gary talking quite a bit about how the "dance monkey" quote is now haunting him at every interview they're doing now. he told her later that it was the main highlight of the night. haha ...for the record, he's got no idea himself what an "inner dance monkey" is supposed to be. :laugh3:

 

 

SP Reading List

Gary recommended this book to us (as there was a girl who'd actually bought the book & asked him to sign it) [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grab-Me-Tightly-Knew-Way/dp/0060882980]Grab on to Me Tightly as If I Knew the Way[/ame] ...he thinks everyone should read it & it has the best title ever. :D

 

& Tom had a book with the title "Why Me?" (which i thought was funny) :lol: & am fairly sure is this book [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Me-Important-Emails-Servant/dp/1780270097/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319991660&sr=1-3]Why Me?: The Very Important Emails of Bob Servant (Bob Servant 3)[/ame]

I guess he got himself a catchphrase without knowing it! Let the era of the inner dance monkey begin! :)

In my opinion, that long title could easily have been an SP song title if it wasn't already taken! ;)

The reviews of the album are not very good in Mojo or Uncut.

 

But then Snow Patrol are not the sort of band you would expect to see featured in those 2 magazines.
