I've got a copy of (What's The Story ) Morning Glory ? signed by Noel, Liam Alan and Bonehead :)

Fuck, that's amazing.  I'd take that over a signed FC cd anyday.

I won it on a radio show :) Guigsy was off sick at the time - around the time of Wonderwall - which is why he's not in the vid.

Flying Colors still hasn't shown up on Spotify for me. All I see is kids' Christian songs here.

I searched Flying Colours and it didn't come up but Flying Colors without the " U " did.

Yeah it's the silly American spelling of course. It's definitely on Spotify, although maybe not available in all regions.

Got this yesterday. First thoughts after one listen - it's good, with flashes of brilliance, but it's just not great. With this level of musicianship it should have blown me away. I really hope it grows on me with succesive listens. McPhearson's voice is OK on the softer, popier songs, but on the heavy parts, well, it just isn't suited.
I got the impression that they've been looking at the success of Black Country Communion and trying to get a bit of that mainstream action.

That's because you misspelled the name -- the band's name is Flying Colors.

Anyway, I just listened to the album and I love it. It's great. It really doesn't live up to all the hype, but it's a fine album nonetheless. Favorites are Blue Ocean, Kayla, All Falls Down, and Infinite Fire.

And as someone who did just that, I'll tell you: yes. Yes I am.

Definitely going to give it another shot, but so far this album is doing nothing for me. It all sounds so... generic. Cover art's still awesome though.

When I first heard about FC and saw the lineup, my first thought was, "this is going to be like Asia".  So that was my mindset going in... and I think I was right.

YES.

Man, I hope they come to Philly. It would be sweet seeing them at the TLA.

Ditto. But if they don't I'll hit NYC, which is pretty much a guaranteed stop on any tour.

I hate to be a downer, but I would almost guarantee this will be US (+Canadian date or three maybe), and Europe.
