Quite curious to see how security manages to keep the fans seated!!! I'll be photographing him again, hopefully. In the meanwhile, Pete from Brixton is on liveon35mm.com

If he does ever make it to Argentina. Do us all a favour and keep him there!

What is wrong with these people. The talentless fuckwit shouldn't even sell out the Albert Hall toilets but due to constant media overload (of which NME are a prime culprit) people follow like braindead sheep.

Hopefully he'll shove all the profit into his veins and disappear from this earth sooner rather than later (but then he'd become a Kurt Conbain type marter).

makes you wonder who still gives enough of a fuck about this clown to pay Â£30 to see him drone on in a space that he (and the Wombats!) are not worthy to grace.
