The Vines

thisispants  said about 5 years ago  or at  9:19PM on Saturday, January 20 2007 in music

Highly Evolved is one of the few cd's my work has....so I've been putting it on just for a bit of variety. Now, I'm not really a fan, and I haven't particularly liked the singles and stuff i've heard on JJJ, but why do people hate them so much?

Their music isn't great, but it's not as bad as everyone here carries on about. I can absolutely understand indifference... but any more than that, why bother?

Basically, I just want to know... why do you all hate them so much?

people like to hate things

personally, i'm indifferent


montyclift  said about 5 years ago:

i think craig's rise from macca's deep fryer to world touring put a few people's noses out of joint.

then had rock star breakdown, and many laughed.


kabukiboy  said about 5 years ago:

musically i think they're ok. i've met pat on a couple of occasions and he's an upright dude. i don't know their story or their hype......they're just a band


littlearch  said about 5 years ago:

they prompted much derisive laughter when we saw them at the big day out a few years ago - they could barely play their instruments

i like a couple of songs but i really couldn't give a shit either way


adamdmills  said about 5 years ago:

the whole "we're so craaazy thing" got on a lot of people's nerves. especially when it all seemed so staged.

musically, i don't really care either way.


shortrockus  said about 5 years ago:

they seem to gain back alot of respect at homebake and splendour last year. then again i don't mind some of their stuff. and i prefer them to jet.


montyclift  said about 5 years ago:

they were actually pretty competent at homebake. i was surprised.

though craig seemed to be turning into chris bailey.


charlesincharge  said about 5 years ago:

i dont/didnt mind them, but they really were the worst band I've ever seen live.


thisispants  said about 5 years ago:

The most annoying thing I can remember was their trashing the stage thing after every show. Kinda got way too contrived for mine.

i just spat coffee. that's hilarious.

I suppose you're eating your words now he actually clinically is


nothroughroad  said about 5 years ago:

anyone see em at the big day out.

craig has gotten pretty darn FAT!

he looked kind of ill


neilwedd  said about 5 years ago:

They looked like a band that were pretty happy at BDO.
They played like a unit and the body language was good.
Their playing seems to be in reverse to their hype these days.


frenk  said about 5 years ago:

i think they're fucken great.


PsychedelicSounds  said about 5 years ago:

i really liked the first album.

quite liked the second.

hated the third.


mipearson  said about 5 years ago:

I went to a You Am I gig years and years ago, just when You Am I were starting to really fade and The Vines were a little band that YAI had taken along for the ride.

They were handing out free Vines demos and I picked one up. It sounds.. er.. interesting. A mate described it as "The Beatles, but without being able to play instruments".

Does it go on the ebay as a "COLLECTORS ITEM ULTRA RARE $1 NR"?

Autumn Shade 3! hahahaha!


whatwhat  said about 4 years ago:

it's tradition.

don't go back to doledrum, loveparade.


steveholt  said about 3 years ago:

I just found this on You Tube.

I remember Kingsmill cracking the shits on Triple J at the time saying they were disgraceful to act that way on a show that many bands would give their right arm to have an appearance on.

I for one think it is brilliant. I love that first Vines album.


eldritch  said about 3 years ago:

not heavy enough


NakedApe  said about 3 years ago:

hehehehe

that letterman footage is awesome


fever  said about 3 years ago:

new video is great - music.ninemsn.com.au/thevines


goldslip  said about 3 years ago:

secret myspace show happening in melbourne soon


whatwhat  said about 3 years ago:

new album is all kinds of fun. i'm hoping they're the big 'comeback' band of 08.

rob schnapf really does get a sweet sound.


monkeyman  said about 3 years ago:

Playing at The Tote tomorrow night for free. 8pm.


temporarybenbutler  said about 3 years ago:

Can someone go and report back? Cheers.


losgauchos  said about 3 years ago:

They have ''Autumn Shade 3'' on the new album - is this a running joke amongst the band? Autumn Shade 1 was good, Autumn shade 2 was lame, I wonder if part 3 will be a travesty?


hyperfuzz  said about 3 years ago:

they played it at golden plains, it's shit.

number 1 was really good.


goldslip  said about 3 years ago:

anybody read the interview in Jmag? makes them sound like small children who constantly need to be babied.



hiponion  said about 3 years ago:

damn he didn't die


LoadMyRig  said about 3 years ago:

didn't realise assburgers could be so debilitating.

unless it's cover for some other ailment...


Temet  said about 3 years ago:

I don't particularly like the Vines, but that's pretty poor hiponion.


La Bomba  said about 3 years ago:

if you want to find craig, just got to Oatley park, he is ALWAYS there ....stoned.....alone.....weirdo......


goldbuttons  said about 3 years ago:

I'm there!

I always had a bit of a soft spot for him amongst my disinterest. He seems so awkward.


Eple  said about 3 years ago:

or South Hurstville RSL Club.....
