V Festivals organisers said: "Having helped define brit-pop in the early nineties, Embrace¹s comeback at the V Festival this weekend is shaping up to be the greatest since Lazarus."
They must have them confused with Blur, because Embrace's debut LP, The Good Will Out, was released in July 1998.
DiScuss: Who's more deserving of a hot poker in the bum - the McNamaras or the Cesters?

There was this bit where Danny 'honestly, I really really REALLY can't sing' McNamara shouted "SING IT" to the crowd during one of their 'anthems'. The response from the audience was as if someone had died.
It was like watching your mother take a shit.
On your father.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
His tongue on her clit ring.
Her eyes rolling deep into her head.
Your dad grinning.
Etc.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
Have you been drinking already?
That is some f*cked up shit.
Embrace are like dentists.
You visit them once a year to ensure they're still c*nts.
And then you run the f*ck away from them.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
I obviously goto the dentist a lot less than you...
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
They tried to touch my teeth.
So I left.
Weirdos.

However, as I said I have the video, official BBC coverage. While the volume level of the crowd isn't high, you can hear it; it's the unmistakable sound of thousands of people singing together. Of thousands of people joining with the band.
As for your blanket statement regarding Danny's singing... please listen to some of their recorded material. And even live he generally surpasses such "frontmen" as Tim Burgess and latter day Liam Gallagher (coke went up his nose, down his throat and obliterated all the good bits of his vocal chords).
I'm sick of people's ignorance regarding this band.

who's in charge of the bill over there?

Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
as awful as the thought of being faced with an Embrace festival set in this fucking day in age is, they actually (& surprisingly..) have a handful of disarmingly beautiful songs buried deep (very deep) in the depths of their earliest back catalogue. Just, like, don't say that sorta thing too loudly. In public. etc.
Not that I'd remotely care to hear or see them play even those tracks live once more in my life, mind.....

So so narrow minded is the approach by you people. You need to check out www.embrace.co.uk and ww.secretgig.com
Oh yeah, The Good Will Out...600,000 copies sold, three top ten albums, countless singles in the top 10/20, headline acts at all the major festivals, get over your sad little prejudices and get the new single or at least listen to the samples of the new stuff on the Embrace messageboard or at least download 'Ashes' from Soulseek.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
So going by your logic Wet Wet Wet are about a squillion times better than Embrace! Oh well!
I'm sure Xfm will be playing the new single 10 times a day. Especially if it's as bad/worse as that last album.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
Might as well shut the site down and replace it with a shrine to the fab five.
Drowned In Spice? Drowned in Pre-pubescent-semen? Raped In Sound? Someone else can come up with a funnier one. Now.

also elbow were boring. highlight was nerd just because of the audience interaction. phoenix were good, dead 60's were good. pixies were dissappointing. strokes were good live, never seen them before was under the general impression they are sit live.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
You good, good people: Embrace save V
In any case I stayed away from that one and enjoyed the wonderful six piece responsible for the awe inspiring 'Lost Riots' album.. quality.
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
What are you on about?
Re: You good, good people: Embrace save V
Sad thing is that the exact same happened to them to a slightly smaller extent at Glasto and from what I've read seems to have done at T too, what is it that makes them and festivals so incompatible I wonder?

'The Black Amnesiacs' is an absolutely untouchable song though. If HOTS could become an instrumental band that'd be brilliant.
