Yeah time to stop praising Eminem after Recovery, an embarrassment of an album, and it's a damn shame a once great artist has been reduced to releasing garbage like that.

Erm... No. Just... No.

Explain. You saying that because Eminem was never great in your opinion or that you actually think Recovery is a good album?

The Latter

I am 30 and find the festival is no longer for me, my favourite bands in general are late 90s bands.  One problem I have with reading/leeds is they seem to be too obsessed with being hip and trendy and having the next big thing. The nme tent seems to have become a glorified festival republic tent full of bands with just 1 album.  I think in future I will just get day tickets for v or leeds depending on line up.

However shit Eminem may be in someones opinion. His new albums are a shittonne better than Encore.

Eminem had two amazing albums and the rest is mediocre.


I'd rather watch Goldie Looking Chain. At least they realise they're takin the piss.

I plan on doing 200trees and Truck next year rather than my 8th Reading. For me It's largely about age and maturity; I'm less into the hedonism/egocentrism/recklessness/commercialism of the festival now than when I first went aged 19 in '99. But it's also about familiarity (nothing really changes each year) and practicality (I can do Truck and 2000trees for the same price).

I'm still very into music but at Reading I've seen all but almost all of my favourite big acts (Chilis, Offspring, Terrorvision, Blur, John Spencer Blues Explosion, Pixies, Pearl Jam, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Arcade Fire, foo's, Rage, Muse) with only Green day, Soundgarden and radiohead left on the must see list. Other than that I think I'm looking forward to catching the next big act or those who are past their peak popularity on smaller stages. Reckon I'll be back in future when I've got kids rampaging in brown while I chill out in White, you know just in case.
