I used to absolutely love them when I was younger, but felt they kind of lost their edge after the debut album.

I remember seeing them play at a gig about 10 years ago and it was pretty crazy in the crowd. I ended up getting something like heat exhaustion and temporarily lost my vision for about 5 minutes. Was pretty scary, had to manoeuvre my way through the crowd without actually being able to see anything so that I could find a wall to lean against and cool/calm myself down.

LP are on my list of "I want to see once" bands - every other time they have toured I have either havent managed to get tickets or the dates have been unsuitable

Saw LP at Doncaster Dome in 2006 and enjoyed them but haven't really been overly impressed with subsequent output to consider bothering again.

If they played 'The Fake Sound Of Progress' in it's entirety I would be all over this tour. Sadly, they are a boy band nowadays.

Lostprophets have always been naff live. Add to that they are too busy checking their hair out, they just aren't worth it.

They are almost as big of a let down as Finch at the first Give it a Name.

Lostprophets were truly awesome on the tailend of the start something tour, just after coming back from US successfully, all down hill from there
