Biffy Clyro are hoping to "steal a few tricks"
The Scottish `Mountains` band are set to be the main support act at Foo Fighters` two massive concerts in Milton Keynes Bowl in July and the group - which includes singer and guitarist Simon Neil, bassist James Johnston and drummer Ben Johnston - admitted they will be taking note of how they can improve their own live performances.
They said: "Watching the Foos, I think when you get to see a band night after night you really start to soak it in in a different sort of way and I guess kind of learn from them. You know, they`re such a huge band and they put on such a massive show, it will be nice to maybe steal a few of their tricks.
"They`ve got a real flow to their shows, the Foos, as well you know, they make it as much about the crowds as about them, and I think that`s a real talent and an art in itself to make 50,000 people as though every person in that crowd feels special, and I think that`s something that we`ll try and pick up on, that black magic."
To make their supporting slot even more special, the group admitted Foo Fighters` frontman Dave Grohl`s former band Nirvana was the reason they became musicians.
Speaking to Absolute Radio before their Teenage Concert Trust show, they said: "I think Nirvana were the reason I guess we started playing, the first band that made us realize we could maybe play music, you know, so they`ve just influenced us from day one really."
