hi mansize, might just be one of those....'bands that alot of people like that i just don't get' type things. I really couldn't find anything to like about them and the live gig material they showed was terrible i thought. There was a point where he was just moaning into the mic every few seconds with no music at all looking all drugged out.

Im with you mate. Others seem to love them, so ive tried to get into their stuff, but just cant. Does nothing for me.

Each to their own though.

It was strange, I had just gotten back from seeing Gareth at the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine (which was incredible, bawled my eyes out for the entire show) and I chuck on rage, there they are.

They picked a lot of good stuff, but there was also a few odd choices chucked in there, and a few just plain bad songs.

bugger, i can't believe i didn't know this was on!

love the drones... great band, great live act. i saw them twice late last year, i'll be seeing them 2 more times between now and may, and i can't wait. one of them is a drones show, as opposed to a festival set, so i'm friggen excited about that.

didnt see this show, but the drones are a ****ing good australian band.
I don't know.

I saw them a couple of times a few years back before they won that comp that got them massive.

And they were pretty ****ing bad.

The Drones seemed a pretty appropriate name. All it was just droney, boring guitary feedback stuff with pretentious faux rock star front man bollocks, with nothing at all attention grabbing or interesting.

Have not bothered to listen to them since.

just my opinion of course...no offense to anyone who likes them

we need the option of being able to like or dislike music

in my opinion british india is one of the worst australian bands to come out of australia for quite some time

How about you put that in a bit of context - it followed Billy Bob Thornton doing a song called Angelina - yes the RC song was crap but it did fit in well with another Hollywood heavyweight singing... I have a feeling some Drones tongues were planted firmly in cheek.

Best band in the world.

In my opinion of course. It's droney and confronting, so I get why people don't like it. If you learn to love Gareth's voice and his raw guitar style then you will love everything the band does. Never put a foot wrong from where I sit. But I love a raw sound in general.

It's not why I don't like it.

When you listen and see Tucker b's as you grow up musically, these guys just seem sub par and lame. Going for the same thing, same image, but they aren't actually good enough musicians to pull it off.

And it's "directionless". Which is what will give it the love/ hate relationship and why it annoys so many people, in much the same way as say Dave Mathews Band, which is also very directionless.
