Big Day Out 2010 stars Kasabian will follow the grand flourishes of this year’s West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum with a grittier outing. Speaking to BBC6 Music, frontman Tom Meighan suggested the new record would be out next year and might surprise some fans.

“It’s nothing like what we’ve done on [ West Ryder ]; it’s really old school grunge,” Meighan confirmed. “There’s a lot of Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon, piano-based songs at the minute…There’s one that sounds like Nirvana, which is really grungy, a big riff.”

Kasabian’s Australian devotees are still eagerly waiting to find out where the band will be placed on the Big Day Out timetable. Meighan gave FasterLouder a hint back in September (“I think we got a 6pm slot this time”), while also adding that the West Ryder songs “fit in amazingly” to the live show.

Kasabian and Nirvana/Pink Floyd do not belong in the same article.

way to kidnap half my post, internet


anyway, kasabian - this idea, pink floyd meets nirvana, sounds like some sort of drug-induced fuckery

lay off the coke before you write the next record, please


or at least write something spectacular to justify the madness

Lol, considering you've been regularly posting here for about one-twentieth of them, I doubt you'd have much of an idea.



Yep...it's gonna be a long wait...

What, posting regularly?
Sure, but still - you're here everyday, just like me.

I quite enjoy Kasabian and Nirvana but i really can't abide Pink Floyd and a lot of their conceptual nonsense. So in theory, i should 'half like' the new record. The Kasabian boys have extraordinarily healthy egos though so they'll have to get a little more 'down on themselves' if they're gona channel Kurt Cobain...

You like Kasabian more than Pink Floyd. Yeah cool, there goes your cred - any track from Piper at the Gates of Dawn on its own is better than Kasabian's discography.

Obviously, Pink Floyd have iconic status; they're enshrined in the musical stratosphere of ultra-legends. Doesn't mean I have to adore them because every rock and rock publication tells me I should. 'Cred' often equates to people liking bands because they feel they should. Look at all of the young cock knockers these days who get about in Ramones t-shirts when most likely, they'd rather be listening to the new single by that young pratt from Neighbours. I can take or leave Pink Floyd but I'd happily wear a Kasabian t-shirt.

As John Lydon once said, 'people tell you you've gota love Shakespeare because it's Shakespeare. That's not good enough for me".

I'm open to criticise Pink Floyd - I can't help but feel everything from Dark Side onward is incredibly overrated. I certainly don't adore them. Even still, I certainly know that they're better than friggin' Kasabian. This recent statement, along with the fact you prefer Goodnight, Bull Creek! over Slightly Oddway, really does detract from anything else you might want to say and me taking it as a worthwhile contribution.

Absolutely! I think that ad's genius! What else are you going to do in middle age? If you can't beat the establishment, join them. There's a certain degree of irony to this; his tongue is planted pretty firmly in his cheek I'd say. Afterall, Lydon did walk out of 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' so he has his limits... :)

Man, you share a symbiotic relationship with this site; I imagine you're hard wired into it in a Matrix style feed sharing binary back and forth infinitum. Ex-thousand posts and a command over all topics- I vaguely remember the Bob Evans one now that you've jogged my memory...

I'm old, hey, I admit it! I own all of the Jebs records bar probably the most recent one so I was there when it happened and I enjoyed it. Kevin got older too and wanted to try something a little different. Sure, the harmonica screams 'middle age' but you'll be loving it too in another ten years, mark my words! You'll start embracing herbal tea as well and your mornings after will involve getting up at 6am and switching on breakfast talkback radio on the AM dial.

Yes, I do quite enjoy the sound of Bob; his was a rocking show live recently. There were plenty of punters under twenty-five there too... Not necessarily better than Jebs per se but better for me now that I'm twelve years older than when Slightly Oddway was released.There'll be some records you'll still enjoy in a decade's time and plenty you won't so much. I hope my niece isn't still listening to the Wiggles in another ten years. Hi-5 though, I could get into that gear...

Doesn't change the fact that he is right on the money.

Oh wow, another MAB vs noobs (topic: Kasabian) thread.

Guaranteed to be 20% dumber than the first?
