People should escape if they can, considering the safest route - but only if they can do so without endangering themselves.
Yeah, cos not choosing a risky route and staying with the people with the guns would be the safer option!?!?!?!?

can't really use that as an excuse in the same year that Coldplay are supposedly headlining
That was my point!

Red Hot Chili Peppers are headlining multiple European festivals around Glastonbury. loads of well-known songs, never headlined before. same management as Metallica and Muse.
why are they ruled out?
Well they are also woefully dull, so in theory should be in the running with the other prospective headliners....

People complaining about Muse, Coldplay, Adele and then being ok with Foos, Fleetwood Mac and Ed Sheeran?!??!?!
Its all just interchangable arse feta that would be hideously dull en masse either year!

Straight??!!
Errol Flynn
Oh god, I could rearrange this list for hours, all of them taking the number one slot at some point!!
But yeah, Dynamite would probably still come out on top. One of the best get drunk and sing to the long lost love albums ever.

The only memorable experience I have had with Radiohead goes back to 92. We were in a Sunday night club in Oxford and NIN came on, and as usual the dancefloor got a little sexy...
All I saw was some kid come into the middle of the flailing limbs and then go straight to the floor .
Apparently that was Thom and much consternation ensued as to whether our band was now mortal enemies with them. We werent as it happened. Dont think they even knew we were a band then or ever.
And there endeth my Radiohead story.

grew up with armed guards at the end of the road, barbed wire barricades and mirrors to check under the cars, and you just got on with it. Same as now.
As for attacking Glastonbury, surely the frustration of ticket day would have been enough to drive any extremists to kill themselves, even before the "Sold Out" sign came up?

People give attendees too much credit. The majority wouldnt know Sigur Ros. Christ, the first year I went I wandered round places that people I went with hadnt even been to and the majority had gone to 10 or more Glastonburys! If they dont explore the festival site, they damn well wont have explored anything past mainstream headliners.
Theres a HUGE chunk of the Glastonbury crowd that go there and maybe one of the big event Hyde Park festivals, and thats their live music experience for the year. They dont go to gigs, they dont care about live music. They know they should go to Glastonbury ("Well you just have to dont you, just like finding yourself in a resort in Goa, its all about the experience darliing"), they know they want a big name that they know the hits of, and they want to be able to put pics on Facebook of them in their North Face gilet with a little bit of glitter on one eye and their partner in a brand new tie dye t-shirt that they bought in H&M the week before they went.
They dont want Sigur Ros. They want safe, they want stuff that Grimmy has played them on their commute to their office in the morning, they want the classics they heard on Heart while in the juice bar.
Its too big now to take a risk, and the vast majority want what they know, and they feel comfortable with.

Are you in the seats at the top, or the seats at the back of the standing area? At Colston Hall you can just walk down from the ground level seats into the standing area, theres never usually any barriers or anything - the seats at the top though have a separate entrance if I remember rightly.

I would be really torn if he played. I have never ever found any great pleasure in listening to the Beatles tunes, dont know why, just never have.
But moments like that clip above are something that would make your hairs stand on end. And I would want to go home from Glastonbury with memories of those FAAAARRRRRKKKK!!!!! moments, rather than just seeing a band I like doing songs I like again.
Would it be possible for him to do a quick medley of moments at the beginning, so I can wander off when bored without worrying about missing anything?

What's the problem with the hairy chest?
Individually, nothing. Its the combination of all the above that should have alerted her!

Ah fuck, now having watched those two clips I have a boner for them again.
But no way can it be Matt Sorum. That dick ruined the Cult and then went on to ruin G'N'R. People overlook how much a drummer makes a band, and both the Cult and G'N'R lost a BIG bit of sound when that git joined.
Just realised its 28 years since I first saw them.... scary!

My mother in law loved Freddie Mercury and, even when he died, refused to accept he was gay. In her eyes, with the moustache, the hairy chest, the leather trousers and braces he was the epitome of pure manly heterosexual godliness!

IF they played with the original line up, I would be sooooooooooo tempted to go see them. I probably wouldnt as Axl is a parody of himself these days and even having the original line up wouldnt cover the fact he cant perform the songs properly anymore.
But I would still be soooooooooo tempted.....

To be fair I'd rather watch Queen than fucking Coldplay.
What if Coldplay REALLY overdo the "oh my god" and the "Oh daddy your the best!"
Or isnt that quite what you meant...

If you are going to wear wellies, get the right length socks.... or you end up with big red rings round your calves for ages like I did!
And I failed to look like Kate Moss!
