Kasabian is an English rock band formed in Leicester in 1997. They launched a song called 'Days Are Forgotten' in 2011 as the lead single of the album 'Velociraptor'. In this article we'll talk about Days Are Forgotten Song Review. They have another version featuring LL Cool J which was used as the theme song in WWE’s 2011 PPV TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs. Days Are Forgotten Song Review and Meaning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBsQVP-Olmw Personally, this is my favorite song by Kasabian. Tom Meighan did an incredible job as the lead vocalist in this song. The instrumentals and the rhythm is on point as well and the chorus sounds amazing. According to the Sergio Pizzorno the lead guitarist and song writer the song was about how the band represented themselves and took pride in it. The lyrics were inspired by Hip-Hop MCs like Doom. I love that whole this-is-us-and-if-you-don't-like-it-f--k-off attitude. 'Days…' is us stating our case. There's a line in it which goes: 'Call me a cliché/How right you are.' I might be a rock 'n' roll cliché but I take pride in it. Sergio Pizzorno Apart from that what the song means, I am not that sure myself. But in my opinion, it is about how time passes by so quickly and the past is more or less forgotten. So, in the entire scheme of things one's relevance is going to fade sooner or later. Ironically, the singer mentions that he will never be forgotten probably implying that the listener will never forget what the former told him. The singer is looking forward to the future and talks about waiting for someone or something to take him over. It is perhaps about falling in love with a person or finding a new purpose in life which consumes him. So, this was my opinion on the song. Let me know yours in the comments below.

Analysis

For as much as it centers around one gimmick, Tables, Ladders & Chairs is one of WWE’s most consistently entertaining events. Each year, it does just enough to keep things interesting. That’s largely because, unlike Hell in a Cell, TLC offers three distinct elements allowing plenty of creative freedom to adapt the concept to fit a particular feud or storyline.

There are various points throughout the 2010 edition where it’s weaved into a match seamlessly. The number-one contender ladder match between Sheamus and John Morrison feels like a natural conclusion to their highly underrated rivalry. The Divas’ tag team table match offers the perfect opportunity for the audience to see LayCool get their just deserts. The four-way gambit for the World Heavyweight Championship is a fairly efficient way of closing the book on two radically different feuds. Adding a ladder to the triple threat for the Intercontinental title proves unnecessary, but there’s a sense it could’ve been amazing if the match were given adequate time and thought.

If the show has weaknesses, they have nothing to do with TLC as they do with the trappings of its era. It’s tough discussing the second half of 2010 without mentioning The Nexus, whose presence throughout the entire summer became the talking point of the wrestling world. However, it’s now December, and the storyline has lost its luster. The chairs match between John Cena and Wade Barrett is a fine way to end their feud, but anything involving the group is easily the least interesting part of the show. There’s some story over Cena taking out its members one by one throughout the night but, much like the group itself, the intrigue is non-existent.

It’s kinda depressing, really. The opening video package makes so much of new stars emerging on the horizon, but many of them would fade after this show and it couldn’t be better exemplified than in its main event, concluding with Barrett getting buried by a pile of chairs. Considering how the rest of his WWE tenure plays out, it’s safe to say he never fully made his way from under it.

My Random Notes

On The Miz’s main event push: The Miz circa 2010-2011 is a frustrating thing. Let me start by saying I root for his success. I love his rise from MTV reality contestant to WWE superstar and having to work so damn hard to fight off the reputation that proceeds him. Unfortunately, his initial main event push is just so off-putting. The entire presentation doesn’t appeal to me at all⏤the look, the promos, Alex Riley, etc. The whole “I’m awesome” shtick is so forced that I feel like cringing anytime I watch him say it and dare say it’s one of the worst catchphrases to emerge from the WWE create-a-superstar machine. I’m happy, however, to see The Miz return to prominence over the past year or so. I find his current Hollywood persona much more palatable than whatever the hell they were trying to do with him a few years ago. The guy deserves another shot.

Wade Barrett without beard and Wade Barrett with beard are two different people, right?

Heel Michael Cole is in full-swing by the time of this show. I’m of the belief that Cole’s heel turn starts out interesting then dovetails into being unbearable at a breakneck pace and, wow, does that ever prove true here. I mean, you can tell he’s trying to make it work but he makes the mistake all heel commentators who aren’t Jesse Ventura and Bobby Heenan make by barking generic heel-isms over and over again without ever saying anything substantial or memorable. Tell me what’s so great about The Miz all you wish but give me a sound byte I can nibble on for a bit, y’know?

In an era of budget cuts, I love how the production team still manages to have a bit of fun with TLC, like how they hang up tables and chairs on the entrance set as if they were Christmas ornaments.

Cena murdering Barrett with a cascade of falling chairs does make for a cool visual, I’ll admit. Just the thing you want for all your future TLC video packages.

Perhaps this isn’t a popular opinion, but LayCool are pretty much the best thing to happen to the Divas’ division at this point. There are many, many valid criticisms thrown at the late 2000s/early 2010s Divas division and one that sticks out to me at the moment is how the division often lacks focus. The Divas title gets passed around without much of a hook but with LayCool, we finally have a constant that gives the division a much-needed angle of approach. The pair is so easy to dislike that you’re left clamoring for any babyface to take them down a notch, and that makes it so rewarding to see someone like Natalya drive them through a table.

It’s the little things that make me love Kane, like when he destroys Christmas decorations as if he were Animal from the Muppets.

That random segment with Cody Rhodes makes me want to see Big Show do a full-fledged Santa Claus gimmick. Like, year-round.

Edge gives this somewhat teary-eyed look to the camera once he retrieves the World Heavyweight title hinting his days in the ring are numbered, which is all sorts of heartbreaking in hindsight.
