i dont think we have many people from Perth on this forum. at least not many interpol fans from perth. but if there are any out there this is your time to speak out haha

theyre in sydney next week but with tickets going at 90 bucks a pop i opted out of going. sadly the bands doing venues less than half the size of the ones they did on their last tour and still struggling to sell them out. bit of a shame cos i thought their 4th album was more than decent :S

:surprised: wow... you know as surprising as that sounds, when they played NYC back in September... (or was it October) anyhoo... they last time they played here, they played a venue they had never played before. A beautiful theatre with 2 balconies and a huge orch section... wasn't HUGE as Radio City (which they sold out 2x in a row 5 years back) but since the last album... they had a hard time selling out the venue as well... eventually they did... like the week of, but I too am surprised! The 4th album was defo a step up from OLTA.... I LOVE IT! I can't stop listening to that album... Lights is spectacular live....

can't wait for next month :dance:

Damn it They are coming to Mexico... and I don't have time nor money :bigcry:
Maan it sucks that bassist Carlos left, he's one of my favourite bass players ever and I think it was the secret of their sound. So how would you rank their albums?
TOTBL
Antics
Interpol
OLTA

TOTBL
Antics
Interpol
OLTA
Same order. Big gap between Antics and self-titled.

But although I still don't like the self-titled much, "Lights" is stellar live.

Yes, their first two records were quite superior to the last two. Their self-titled it's okay, but it's more of the same and there are just 2 or 3 solid tracks.

Same order here. Have you seen Carlos' crazy video? I think I'm the only Interpol fan who was not a Carlos fan. I appreciate his musicianship, but found him arrogant & annoying. I am really interested to see if they will back off the orchestration on the next album (praying there's one), without his influence.

I hope there's an album too! Carlos was a little bit of a prat, but his style is sweet!

It'll take a while before we hear anything new though! :(

[deaths_friend]

my rankings

1. Antics
2. Turn on the Bright Lights
3. Our Love To Admire
4. S/T

but they're all great albums. good musicians will almost always make good music and interpol is testament to that motto.

an australian radio station interviewed carlos a few years back and he was extremely rude and unresponsive.

[MrMagpie]

Carlos always seems like a dick.

I should try to get into their latest album a little more before I see them.

[Corkus]

^ They actually don't play too much off the latest album. Maybe 5 tracks. Their sets are still pretty TOTBL-heavy, which is what most people want to hear. :lol:

[ricardo]

Fuck! I'm missing another band that I want to see live.

No I haven't seen it, eventhough he is a ****, he's really talented, I love Interpol basslines.

[MrMagpie]

Saw them opening for U2 on Saturday night.
They were really good although the crowd wasn't really into them at all. Here is what they played.

Success
Say Hello To The Angels
Narc
The Heinrich Maneuver
C'Mere
Barricade
Lights
Obstacle 1
Evil
Slow Hands

[MrMagpie]

Lights didn't really click for me until I saw it live.

[Corkus]

Me neither. It's definitely made for a live setting.

Don't know why they've completely stopped playing PDA.

[w1ll1am7]

they played the same setlist in Toronto.
I was pretty disappointed they didn't play PDA...

I agree with you Briggins, as good as they are, crowd doesn't really know who they are too well, even though I was wearing my Interpol shit and singing every song! :)

Sound was somewhat off too, their new bass player still needs to get into it, kinda miss Carlos in regards to that

[MrMagpie]

Yeah I really wish they still did PDA, my favourite Interpol song.

Was really happy to hear C'Mere though. Love that track.

[berrywoman]

me too! I actually saw this song live before the album dropped so, I had an appreciation for it from the get go.... BUT as they toured on... so them a few more times since then, after the record dropped, and I love the song even more live! :cool: I guess they switched it up since they added Specialist to the mix.... I was just happy to FINALLY hear The New live... :)


I want them to come back and do a secret show in NY... that was mega!!

[Pink]

Tour's over. :cry:
