The Times Eye
June 2005
It is commonly believed that the rocknroll touring lifestyle is a moving feast of non-stop glamour: glitzy parties, free booze and supermodedl consorting. This is partly true. Once bands reach a certain stature, gig promoters will ensure that their charges dont want for anything. Before a show, a group will be indulged with great food, comfortable dressing rooms and as much alcohol as they can handle. Afterwards theyll be thrown a big party, before being whisked off in a tourbus or private jet to prepare for the next show.
Sounds good?
Well, thats only part of the story. Most of the time touring is spent travelling in cramped conditions. Boredom is a major problem, as are hangovers. Everyone lives for the hour on stage, which passes in a flash. The other 23 hours creep by. Still, when I was invited to join Feeder for the weekend, flitting from Donington to the Isle of Wight, to a supporting gig for U2 in Germany. I jumped at the chance to live the rocknroll lifestyle. How did I fare? Read on.
Day 1
Feeders press officer Gillian is waiting for me at St Pancras station in London for the journey to Nottingham. She is calm, but becomes slightly agigtated when Martin, our photographer, is late. He struggles, laden with equipment, on to the train with seconds to spare. We exchange glances. Or at least we would if he could see: sweat has already blinded him. Blimey. I think. Weve barely started and the panic has already begun. He just mutters: Bloody cab drivers. They should all be shot.
On the train I listen to the latest Feeder album, Pushing The Senses. I like Feeder, although most critics do not. They are a band who have had to slog throughout their 15-year career and, while their music has not always been hugely distinctive, their way with a melody and a crunchy guitar riff means that theyre not only big enough to support U2 but also headline the first night of the heavy rock orgy that is Download.
The train is full of heavily pierced black-clad fans. The closest Ive yet come to getting pierced was stabbing myself with a school compass, but at least Im wearing a black T-shirt. Even if it does bear the slogan BigBaby. We meet the bandat the hotel. As is often the way with groups that have struggled for their success, theyre charming people. No ego and no pretension. However, as we board the tour bus to head for the festival site, Martin realises that this also means no smoking.
"Dont you dare light that bloody fag," says Mark Richardson, the drummer as Martin lifts a roll-up to his mouth. The photographer looks sheepish. Its a poor start.
Backstage at Download were pleasantly surprised that this most rawk of festivals is very nicely appointed. The catering is great and yes, the beer is free. Martin and I take full advantage. I will later regret this.
Feeder go on stage after Garbage. The crowd is suspicious. Grant Nicholas, the lead singer, is not dressed in black. Neither is Taka Hirose, the Japanese bassist. Only Mark, the drummer, really looks the part. Forty minutes later, Feeder have blown the crowd away with a muscular set. Nicholas smashes a guitar at the climax. Afterwards, the diminutive Welshman tells me that its the first time hes done such a rocknroll thing. It was a two thousand pound guitar. I never do that usually, but it was such a rush winning that crowd over. He pauses. "What did you think of the set list? Did we pace it right?" This will become a familiar question. Guitar-smashing rock stars can be sensitive, too.
Day 2
Were up very early. Grant has had some radio interviews to do. The rest of the band and crew headed down to the Isle of Wight festival on the tour busy last night, but myself, Grant, Martin and Matt, the bands manager, will take a helicopter from the East Midlands to the Isle of Wight. Im not a great flyer and, nursing a monumental hangover. Im now really dreading this flight. As is my custom before a flight, I call my girlfriend to tell her I love her. Grant hears me and smiles shyly. "I do the same every time I fly. I really dont like flying either." I gawp at him. "But you must fly at least a hundred times a year."
"Im in the wrong job, he grins."
The helicopter is a Perspex bubble with a rotor blade. A flying Tupperware box. Taking off is scary. But spending two minutes hovering over the airfield is tarrying. Problem Im afraid, chaps, says the pilot, who looks as if he has just celebrated his twelfth birthday. No thrust. We land again and the pilot calls over a mechanic. They have a quick chat. "Shall I give it another go?" asks the pilot. Grant and I look at each other. "No way!" we both shout over the noise of the engine. After a 90-minute flight on an old replacement helicopter, we finally arrive at the Isle of Wight Festival. The place is abuzz with news that Kate Moss has arrived with her boyfriend, Pete Doherty, the erstwhile Libertines frontman who now leads Babyshambles. There are tabloid journalists running hither and thither for a glimpse of the couple. We watch Babyshambles. Doherty, wearing a vest and a pork-pie hat, closely resembles a doe-eyed Harold Steptoe, and his band are dreadful. An hour later in a sponsors elevated tent, drinking yet more free alcohol, we witness Feeder play a triumphant set. The man next to me, wearing a yellow dress and feather boa, is going mental, as are most of the crowd.
When we board the tour bus an hour later to catch the ferry back to the mainland, Martin places his bags in the gangway. Mark, the drummer, boards and trips over them. "Who put these in the fucking gangway?" he growls as he kicks three thousand pounds worth of camera equipment. Martin starts to argue but decides against it when he sees the vein in Marks forehead bulge. Then Grant gets on, fretting. He looks at me. "How was the set- did we pace it right?" I pick up a can of lager, take a gulp and tell him that the set was great. We all then embark on a mission to demolish the bands rider. Selflessly, I place myself in the vanguard.
Day 3
Were up at 6am to take a taxi from our Portsmouth hotel to Heathrow to fly to Dusseldorf. I feel as though my head is about to fall off. Two days of constant drinking and travelling are taking their toll. That and not going to bed until 4am two nights on the trot. I want to go home and sleep, but the biggest gig of the weekend is tonight. Feeder supporting the biggest band in the world, U2. I cant miss that. When I step on the stage at Schalke 04s huge stadium in Gelsenkirchen ten hours later, Im very glad that I ignored the rats chewing my brain. Its a marvel. Below stage is a warren of control rooms. Onstage, standing in front of half-full stadium of 30,000 people (Feeder arent due on for two hours, U2 for three) I feel the power. Whos that fat bloke with the glasses? some German shouts. Or thats what I imagine he shouts.
Later, Im backstage with Grant, a mile away from the stage. Hes worried. "I need to get a feel of the audience, to work out the set. Come with me, Paul, the walk will do you good." We go to see the first support band, the Thrills. We watch from the side while people watch us from the audience. The noise is immense. My brain screams for mercy.
Finally, Grant is satisfied and we retreat backstage, where he argues with technicians and members of the band about the setlist. When Feeder take the stage Im surprised to see U2s legendary manager, Paul McGuinness, standing on the soundstage next to me. Not only do the 55,000 crowd take to the band with enthusiasm but so does McGuinness. After the show Grant is very happy. "I think we gauged that set well. Here, Paul" he laughs as he throws a bottle. "You must be thirsty, have a beer." I nearly turn green but bravado gets the better of me. I take a swig. What the hell? It's only rocknroll.

renegades is very good, but i miss the old "feeder" sound. YWTS is the best record for ever.
(Posted on 2010-01-06 09:09:00 by ) -
who cares about chart positions, i just want a new album and songs.
(Posted on 2010-01-04 18:08:00 by ) -
IMPORTANT:
As we all know, the recent Feeder UK singles and album chart positions have been suffering. For example, Tracing Lines/ Silent Cry did not manage to chart within the top 300, We Are The People reached number 25 and dropped out in the first week, and the album itself, Silent Cry, reached only number 8 on the UK albums chart. This sold less than Polythene and couldn't even award Feeder with a Silver Certification. This is the first time this has ever happened.
We all believe that the new song 'Renegades' is a worthy song for another Top 10 single, so I believe this song should be released under the Feeder name as the first single of their Seventh Studio Album. We must not let this song disintigrate and become forgotten under the new side-project also called 'Renegades'.
(Reminder: The Shatter protest was a massive success)

Tell All Your Friends- Echo Park
Staring out to reach a star
Contemplating life on mars
Life's a cover magazine
I'm an eggshell under feet
Till I see this house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
New intentions all around
Put the brakes on, slow it down
Trying to find a new release
Find a space that you can breath
But I've seen a house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
But don't come around, pulling me down
Telling the world how I let you down
Just tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
So tell all your friends and neighbors too
CNN BBC world news
Tell all your friends I wanna dream with you
Tell all your friends
Tell all your friends
Tell all your friends
I don't wanna sit here catching flies
Cause I have seen this house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
But don't come around, pulling me down
Telling the world how I let you down
Just tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
So tell all your friends and neighbors too

Tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you

For those of you who were disgusted at the way Feeder's performance of "Just The Way I'm Feeling" was handled by Blink TV on Channel 4's Sonsiphere highlights, then up there ^ is a YouTube link to "Buck Rogers" which shows the band and only the band, and not annoying random people enjoying their festival acting like fools!.
Last time I saw Feeder was at the Nowich UEA, hope they come back there and play "Descend", been long missing from the setlists!!.
When people listen to the song, they only really take into the energy of the track, if you read the lyrics at the same time then you see the track from a different angle. It's like "Just a Day"- everyone at live gigs is chanting the do-do-do back at the band, getting all sweaty leaping up and down, but if you look into the lyrics they're actually very sad in emotion. Having said that, this is one of the things I love about the band. Raygun tried saying that about their music in that embaressing 4PLAY TV feature a few weeks ago!.
Anyways, here's the lyrics for "Descend" if you like to read them while listening to the track! :). Don;t think any other version of the song will beat that one they played at the Warchild Coronet gig!.
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS:
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS
Alone ....alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
CHORUS

^^ Simply amazing songwriting there Mr Nicholas, but the older you got the better, just like a fine wine!.

Looking through the window shade
Stare at streets that bear no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream
But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn around, see what I see,
Can't help wishing it would
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting still and then we
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse
The more I see, the more it hurts
the more we change it all seems...
See tomorrow
See...
See tomorrow
As it drags me there I fell
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today?
Read the paper, drift away...
Drift away, away
Oh how I hate to feel this way
(Change, change again)
The more I wait for it to change
(Change again, change, unchain myself, I will)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Change, change again)
The more we change it all seems worse
(Change, change again)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Unchain myself)
The more we change it all seems...
(Posted on 2009-08-16 08:36:00 by ) -
"The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
So true, change is not always for the better and that song is brilliant. They should have kept "Waterfall" on Polythene 2 though.

As for "Sentimental", what a song!!!, Feeder go grunge this is for me and can't wait to hear it when it's on the album. Apparently Grant said it's not finished yet so might do some more lyrics on it and add extra verses or guitar parts.
As for the b-sides, so damn right. When I first got into Feeder during the "Echo Park" era, I eventually got all the singles and realised that most of those tracks would not sound out of place on any album. It made me see a different side to the band as well :). "Bring it Together" on "Forget About Tomorrow" may be short, but is a really energetic track that would also be a good track to put at like track 6 on an album as an interlude.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:41:00 by ) -
WELL SAID SOH!!!, this is something Carlos and Matt the twat don't appreciate, I many other fans I know can't stand these "Feeder are not the same band anymore!", "Grant's voice is not as good as it was!". UGH, move on and enjoy the music!, the majority of fans can't stand hearing this at all, it's only the minority who moan.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:28:00 by ) -
Oh. my. sweet. jesus.
"Temper Temper my little friend"?, i think you need to go back to Kindergarden, you used an upper case letter TWICE there, and using pathetic childish phrases like "little friend" only makes you look like even more of a little prick than you already are. I'm not trying to sound clever, and I DO have an argument unlike you, you Feeder hater. Call yourself a FAN!?, I think it's you who needs the yellow pages to stand on.
I know nothing about arguments over the internet, more like you do instead as you seem to love starting them up.
Your message was childish, pathetic, and if you you're really think what you said made you look clever then you're terribly mistaken.
I've had a tough week especailly after seeing Ipswich still fail to win a match so far this season, and to read your message made me crackup and cheered me up.
Keep em coming you sad twat, anybody can smack you in the gob, seeing you're so weak and only have a keyboard to fight with.
"Little friend" was obvioulsly relating to my so-called small height, sad, sad, sad. I bet you're a little 6 year old with nothing better to do than slag bands off on the internet. I'd love to see you stand on your yellow pages and say what you said about Grant sounding like an old man to his face. You wouldn't have the guts.
Time to bum off baboon boy!, and keep the insults comnig left right and centre!, I need a laugh!.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:22:00 by ) -
"Sentimental" is a very heavy song. Remember me on Nirvana, BUT NOT ON FEEDER ! ! !
What is happening with this band?
What is happening with Grants voice?! !
I don´t like this NEW Sound, I miss the older sound. "The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
cheers!
(Posted on 2009-08-14 06:55:00 by ) -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........Temper Temper my little friend. You finished swearing? It makes you look really really clever! I love your argument......you havent got one... Your just swearing alot!!! You must be about 8 years old if you swear that much! hahaha. Thats Hilarious. And how exactly would you smack me in the gob....you'll need some yellow pages to stand on first!
I assume you have a lot of arguments over the internet....you seem to know alot about them! I also assume you lose alot by them comments! haha
(Posted on 2009-08-08 12:28:00 by ) -
I just got a hold of all feeders b-sides. Man, i've been missing out. The Song Crash Mat is so good! of course Emily is one of my favorite feeder songs that i've liked for awhile as is Satelite News. The difference between Uk bands and American bands is that the brits release so many b-sides! i love it! I love FEEDER.
(Posted on 2009-08-06 04:44:00 by ) -
I have issues with that word beginning with the letter C, but you made me angry rather than annoyed meaning you made me use it.
If you go onto a Feeder FAN site and bad mouth the band, expect to take critisim for it.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.
Welcome to the Feeder FAN site shoutbox, I've said my piece and whatever you say back at me I'll gladly ignore knowing how much of a moron you really are.
(Posted on 2009-08-03 12:57:00 by ) -
Stop twisiting things also, you said I was biased towards the band and made a point why I'm not and you twisted round to lake it look like "Who's bashing the band now?".
Fuck off you sad c*nt.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:49:00 by ) -
Fuck off you sad Feeder hating twatface, everyone watches South Park for ***ks sake, and unlike you I am aware that there is a real world out there away from a frickin' plastic keyboard.
I'm not bad mouthing the band YOU ARE, the posters on FFS are ace people and calling me a moron is a very, very sad weak attempt to look tough when you are a little sad weakling who couldn't even harm a fly. You are a f*cking moron who should f*ck off to the looney bin where you came from. You have plenty of gob, but when you are not not behind a computer you can't fight back and have nothing to back it up.
You deserve a massive left hook in the gob, shame us Feeder fans don't know what you look like so we can beat you all up to a bluddy pulp.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:39:00 by ) -
Haha, no, i didnt get that from south park, but obvisously you've been spending too much time on your tv and computer world to know that. You don't like the Just a day video? Who's bad mouthing the band now? eh? I give it to posters here, i like em, but f**k me, i'm glad there not as stupid as you! lol. Moron.
(Posted on 2009-07-30 15:22:00 by ) -
It's all the time with any long-running band.
You'll get one half of the fan base bashing the band for not "sounding like their old material anymore" and the other saying they're still a good band as always or even better than they were in the beginning.
It's the price any band pays for evolving with their sound, rather than sticking with the same formula all the time, e.g. Napalm Death.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:30:00 by ) -
"Its like talking to christians about evolution! lol."
Watching too much "South Park" are we?, get a life, the real world is outside a computer and a TV series universe. Stop trying to sound clever with silly sounding statements, you only make youself look even more of a twat.
I am not single minded about the band, for a start the "Just a Day" video to me is a pile of poo and "Tumble and Fall" is their worse single.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:25:00 by ) -
No shut up yourself, we are not single minded in our views. This crap you're mention about bands not getting all good reviews is shit, look at Arcade Fire- not one bad word is said about them.

I just feel that Grant's voice has changed after Pushing the Senses.
Silent Cry he had a different voice. He sounds completely different then how he sounded on High and Satelite News and other greats. If he brings back his old voice, whatever they put out will be golden. The voice he's using now makes him sound old.

Why is there an RSS link for the comments but not for the news ??

Ja es gibt tatsächlich ein paar Feeder Fans in Deutschland, die sich so sehr eine Tour wünschen und auch mal ein richtiges Label, damit auch Feeder mal in Deutschland ein bisschen bekannter wird
(Posted on 2009-02-15 17:27:00 by ) -
Schön dass man auch mal an die deutschen Fans denkt. Ich besuche FFS tatsächlich min. einmal am Tag. Gibts nicht mal endlich Termine für Feeder-Gigs in Germany?

I remember Mark saying on the Feederweb webchat in 2004, when I was one of the competition winners to meet him on the same day, that he likes BLT as one of his faves :).
Am so relieved everybody is alright :), was a real shocker when I read the headline.

:O thankfully no-one was hurt in the shocking Feeder tour bus fire! - I'd be happy to make up a food parcel for them now all their catering has been destroyed... wonder what kind of sandwiches they like? ;)

Can't wait to see Feeder in november, would have prefered to see them at the historic Astoria but personally Brixton Academy is my favourite venue! Iv been looking at this site for years... thought it was about time to actually say something... Wooooo!...

FIGHTSTAR SUPPORTING FEEDER IS MY DREAM GIG BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANY DATES COS I'LL BE IN SOUTHAMPTON :(
no bad words about fightstar they are a ledge band and you will see that when they tour with feeder!
(Posted on 2008-09-14 21:16:00 by ) -
I re-activated my Feeder blog. It has some live music. Check it out!
Thanks

I am loving the mocked up TL / SC single cover, pure genius!

Hello, Feeder rock!
(Posted on 2008-08-27 13:59:00 by ) -
time for fan power once more guys, lets flex our muscles and remind them why we're the best group of fans around, we did it for Shatter, now add your voice to the campaign to get a physical Tracing Lines/Silent Cry release AND a new track!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/feeder/
(Posted on 2008-07-30 12:49:00 by ) -
'Tracing Lines' release date has been moved from 11th August to 25th August. More to wait! :(
A good thing is that you can download 'Somewhere to Call Your Own' by digital download.
I wonder if the next single will come out on a physical copy as well as a digital one...I hope it does...
New single is on the Feederweb:

What the f. The Forum just went down.
(Posted on 2008-07-29 20:27:00 by ) -
oh go on stace, listen to it on the bus... just don't sit next to me while you're doing so!
(Posted on 2008-07-24 12:19:00 by ) -
That is possibly my favourite review...of anything...ever.
I'm never gonna be able to listen to Miss You without laughing away to myself ever again. Maybe i should avoid listening to it on the bus then...hmmmn.
(Posted on 2008-07-23 20:11:00 by ) -
and FFS does it again, brilliant review
(and thank god, someone else agrees that Songs From The Crypt was a much better title idea!)
(Posted on 2008-07-23 20:04:00 by ) -
I'm curious for that review too... I hope FFS will write a good one.
(Posted on 2008-07-17 10:08:00 by ) -
Will we be seeing a Silent Cry review soon?
(Posted on 2008-07-17 09:37:00 by ) -
Nice banner ;D

Feeder! Feeder! Feeder! Feeeeeeeder!
sorry guys, mad moment :P
(Posted on 2008-07-15 20:15:00 by ) -
Bloody hell, I hate it when a decent album like Feeder's doesn't get well known. I guess give it another month or two, it will probably get more popularity when an advert pops on TV or something.
(Posted on 2008-07-09 12:55:00 by ) -
Agree... Feeder need to come to Australia. If small little indie artists can make it over here, why can't feeder?!
(Posted on 2008-07-08 08:32:00 by ) -
What happened to the lyrics page? Is it being updated?
(Posted on 2008-07-07 17:59:00 by ) -
I love Feeder's new album :]
what i hate is that i live in Australia and they havent toured here since 2000 i think its time for another visit its been so long and its time to come back around again.
what marcus said its so true...plus they deserve more then what they got now but hey at least there selling records and got a good fan-base too
(Posted on 2008-07-07 13:55:00 by ) -
thanks Rach :)
(Posted on 2008-07-06 15:33:00 by ) -
Yeah Suey, it really annoys me, EVERY TIME Coldplay put out an album there's this big media fanfare, but when it's Feeder it's all hush-hush in comparison :-(.
(Posted on 2008-07-05 09:47:00 by ) -
Nothings funny about a mean review when it's band you like. Why is it when Feeder get bad reviews the writer really, REALLY rips into them?!, it don't happen to other bands. Pathetic and childish, that's what it is.
(Posted on 2008-07-05 09:46:00 by ) -
er... yes. Leo's post was so good he had to post it twice.
Chloe, I love yer tour diaries. Ace reading!

I just listened to the album for the first time there now and i blew off a load in my underpants

it´s a good record, but since Jon Lee was gone, the band has lost the typical "feeder-sound". YESTERDAY WENT TO SOON" is the best record...cheers from germany.
(Posted on 2008-06-19 06:53:00 by ) -
got the Deluxe version and have been listening to it ever since monday! Great album :)
(Posted on 2008-06-18 09:39:00 by ) -

(Posted on 2008-06-18 04:20:00 by ) -
I've just got the new CD, oh... it's marvellous!
It's so great to hold a new Feeder record in my hands! These are the beautiful moments of life! Cheers!

*shouts* :D
I like this album, lots!

Silent Cry in my hands baby! The three years were worth the wait.
(Posted on 2008-06-16 19:25:00 by ) -
Got my deluxe version through the door today :D
Must say though, the bonus tracks aren't really anything special...oh well, so happy to have the CD in my hands.

DJ Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ in Los Angeles played "Into the Blue" on his show. That was pretty cool to hear.
(Posted on 2008-06-10 18:19:00 by ) -
calling out for days is quality! haven't heard the other bside though cos my parents record player is bust :(
(Posted on 2008-06-10 11:53:00 by ) -
Miss You was on Euro 2008 yesterday. There must be a Feeder fan at the BBC!

Feeder is one of my 2 favorite bands and i even managed to miss this recent annoucements due to wrong facebook pages etc. Its known whoever run the advertising things are bad as i remember i won an sms compition on the website once for loch lomand. . Advertise! there is already alot of chatter now from my friends n friends since i found out and posted the word ..
