Blunt Razors
Razorlight played Wembley Arena last night, 1st Nov, and for me they they didn't come close to filling the 'all new' (that's a repaint then) Wembley Aircraft Hanger. It doesn't help that I really hate Wembley anyway. We were pretty close to the front and I still felt miles away from the action. They just didn't do it for me. We're talking Gillette Mach 3 performance against an expectation of Fusion Power.
All the tunes were there and played loud and proud - so loud in fact that the speakers made your chest and legs hurt - but there was something missing. Jonny Borrell's routine was a bit too familiar and as a band they seemed to be going through the motions for me.
Wear white - check
Shout "How you doing" - check
Jump off drum kit - check
Climb up speaker stack and jump off - check
Shout "How you doing" again - check
Take white top off - check
end.
Looking forward to the Roses, DPT's, Placebo and Kasabian (plus hopefully Killers and The Feeling too) in the coming weeks. All will be better than Jonny and his boys could manage.
A disappointing 6 from 10.

Yo!
This gig was certainly not to the max, nor was it the lick.
I agree wholeheartedly with fellow GG Diariser Phil although would actually score a 5. The hangar is properly rubbish and when you have a drummer who wears a shirt asking the crowd to clap just so good old Johnny doesn't have to ask, you know that all we're doing is making thair cash-filled pockets even fatter.
If they carry that on, the only thing that will be light is my collection of razorlight music.
