This is the way (and the truth, and the light)

Best description of Creed I read was as "...a Christian rock band. As in "Oh God, it's Creed""

Absolutely get all this. I suppose for me over the past few festivals I've been on an early coach home so Sunday night doesn;t tend to go on hugely late after the headliners finish. Certainly not an all-nighter. I've had so many nights (Sundays at Glastonbury included) where I've ended up trying to chase the last of the fun to ever-decreasing returns. Not necessarily a hardship in itself (certainly a first world problem) but it's also a ballache. A mate of mine summed it up quite well when talking about holidays: the journey there is all part of the fun, but once it's time to go home that's then just a chore to be completed. As soon as it's done I'm head down and ready to go. Plus I never get the Tuesday off work, so if I'm not getting home until late afternoon / early evening then I've got no time to chill out and get myself feeling vaguely human again. By the time I'm showered, unpacked and generally straightened out it's time to eat and go to bed before hitting work the next morning. Completely different scale obvs, but was off site at BDs this year just after 7am and was home before midday. Made Tuesday so much easier.

It's not necessarily for me but...I get it. If you've been there from Wednesday, hit it hard for 4 nights on the bounce and had a decent albeit clean Sunday, then the prospect of avoiding all the sh*t involved in getting out on Monday morning and home in busy traffic seems pretty sweet. It's not like you won't have had your money's worth by that stage, even without a Sunday headliner. I'd stay until headliner finishes, but I've definitely considered future prospect of clean Sunday and heading home.

I repeat... 😁

Seriously reconsidering going back to gold membership. sh*tty arguments have largely done one and massively convoluted levels of conjecture, research, inside info and anonymous scoop posting are back in vogue. Fair warms the cockles so it does.

Apart from ORod being corroborated ( but still not formally confirmed) what else is coming true?

Ok ta. So we're still operating on info, but the info's getting more reliable.

Hang on, think I'm missing something. Nothing's been announced, so how are we saying Rodrigo on the Friday is correct? As far as I can see it's the same as any speculation on this place but with fancier handwriting.

Depressingly, mine hasn't. Not because I've warded off the ravages of time, just that I looked middle aged in my 20s Should also add that I bloody wish I was still in my 20s 13 years ago 😂

Was that the Brixton gig? Was at that with a pal, didn't know them but he had a ticket spare. Decent as I recall. My Baby are Dutch aren't they? Fantastic live band either way, but don't translate well to record IMO

You're not wrong as such, but I don't think anyone (Noel included) has ever painted him as anything other than that? It'd be like me suddenly getting exposed for my lack of skill at ballroom dancing

Only heard that track so far, really need to give her album a spin

Thoroughly enjoyed the LPO in Brighton last night. First classical concert I've been to, completely different experience. Really start to appreciate the complexity of having that many instruments working together to create some fantastic sounds. Plus, no talkers 😂 sh*t photo, but I decide that trying to stand up and get a decent shot midway through would probably be frowned upon...

There are obviously steps beyond that (not to completely derail eminem chat) where balance is found. Eminem shouldn't be held in the same bracket as Gary Glitter or the bastard from Lostprophets for example. But like most things that are new, everyone gets a bit giddy and goes full throttle on it before it settles down a bit.
