Snow Patrol is sickkk

 The Lightning Strike is epicness. I think that and The Planets Bend Between Us are my favourites from their new 'un. I had to laugh at the start of Disaster Button when Gary sings, 'Cool your beans, son.' It reminds me how bad my Norn Irish accent is XD

 I'm going to see them next Monday! YUSSS

Have fun!  I have tickets to see them in May and really can't wait...  Hope you enjoy it :-)

 Bit late at reporting it, but the concert was absolutely sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Gary was having way too much fun, hehe. Iain Archer and Duke Special were supporting, both of whom were superb, but most of the crowd couldn't really get into them and there were even some jerks laughing at Iain The highlights of the show would have to be You Could Be Happy, Make This Go On Forever, Shut Your Eyes (where Gary did a Freddie Mercury and got everyone to sing the chorus at different volumes at his command) Set The Fire To The Third Bar, The Golden Floor, How to Be Dead, Run, An Olive Grove Facing The Sea, Gary doing a mini cover of Teenage Kicks, Take Back The City and towards the end when they played the whole of The Lightning Strike. A big screen was pulled down in front of the stage at the start of TLS, onto which they projected the most amazing graphics - the whole crowd had died down, because they were so mesmerized by it. Hands Open would've been awesome if this asshat hadn't sauntered right in front of me and knocked into everyone right through it  When I got home I had the strangest compulsion to make little origami stars and suns like those on the album art and hang them around my room... Overall, it was the bees knees and everyone should be immensely jealous of me

the opening to their take back the cities gigs were class

the sounds is poor but i just love the atmosphere xx

 I'm going to see them in September when they open for U2 in Boston!  I thought I was excited to see U2, but when I heard that SP was opening I cried tears of joy (well, not really but it was close)! 

I was this close to going and seeing them a couple summers ago, but my friend who I was supposed to go with pulled out just before tickets went on sale and I couldn't find anyone else at last minute.  I can't drive and live over 200 miles from San Francisco so she was my only hope!  It was the biggest bummer of the year.

There is a new live EP on iTunes now (called iTunes London Festival 09), which sounds amazing!!

• Crack The Shutters 
• The Golden Floor
• Make This Go On Forever
• Chasing Cars
• Shut Your Eyes
• What If This Storm Ends?

Having not been a fan of Snow Patrols last 2 albums, this is wetting my appetite to go and see them again!

I heard their first 2 albums and I wanted to like them but just didn't like their stuff, and since their recent album and the song 'take back the city' I have gone back and re-introduced myself to their older stuff and really like them now!!! 

im hoping to go see them in glasgow at the armadillo, cant wait.

Was so happy to see Oasis cancel yesterday at V and for Snow Patrol to headline instead. Wouldve loved Keane on the main stage but Gary was incredible. loved the way he seemed overawed at the response they got, the way he forgot the words on Spitting Games, when he dedicated Run to Elbow and my fave - Chasing Cars!!!!! Was well deserved

Saw some vids from the Snow Patrol gig on V and it looked amazing!! Chasing Cars just was perfect!!!!!!! It sounded so amazing and the singing of the crowd was very impressive! Looked like Gary was very overwhelmed by the look on his face, he just kept smiling!! Hope for Run soon to pop up on YT!! Gary's version of Wonder Wall was also amazing!!! What a gig!!!!!

I have been getting into "1 Hundred Million Suns" when I got it the other day. Favourite tracks off the album, "Take Back The City", "Crack The Shutters".

Guess what I got for my birthday? a I LOVE JQ t-shirt but as much as I love Jesse,I have to admit it is for another JQ!! Jonny Quinn the drummer in Snow patrol but I have promised to wear it to the next Keane concert after I have seen Snow Patrol in Nov' of course!!

The new Snow Patrol single ''Just Say Yes'' had it's premiere on Zane Lowe tonight! Really love the song!!! The lyrics are amazing as usual and Gary sounds so good again! Really hooked to this song!!!

I just got Up To Now + DVD. Wow I love that DVD! The three new songs are also very nice.
It also contains three video's (Open Your Eyes, The Lightning Strike and You're All I Have) from the Pinkpop festival. Since I was there it brings back great memories.

EDIT: on the http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/ website is a registration of the secret gig they did in Amsterdam (scroll down).
