It's sadder to go on a festival forum and discuss festivals with people with a shared interest in them than it is to go on there, as a 20-odd year old, to troll a load of people who think you're boring and weird and don't want to talk to you? Okay.
I've been in this trolling game 12 years mate. It's a bit like any other addiction, I get an immense sense of joy out of it that's simply can't be replicated anywhere else. I am attempting to cut down though, hence my recent decline in posting and extended gap. I'll be gone soon once I manage to find the stress ball I normally use as a retraining mechanism.

If this is the best entertainment you can come up with of an evening I feel quite sad for you.
I've got music on in the background to enhance the experience. And a live feed of the Tory leadership crisis in the hope that someone finally ousts Theresa May and collapses the government, but thanks for the concern.
The idea of coming onto a forum for a normal discussion rather than to troll seems far sadder, like do you really not have people you can talk to in real life about this shit?

If only I was a child, I wouldn't have to question the life choices that have led me to this point...

Look, Battleborn's freely admitted he comes on here to troll when the Download thread is quiet. Why is anyone even bothering to engage?
Stop ruining my evenings entertainment for fucks sake.

Calm down treacle. Thought I'd heard it in an interview a while back. I stand corrected.
u ok?
I'm perfectly calm thank you very much.
And yes, I'm good. Ever thankful not having to live in a shithole like the Black Country.

You're a lost cause. I don't care about AM lyrics but to get on your high horse over Stormzy's and use them as an example? Nah. Bye.
Alex Turner's lyrics were a reflection of the society that they lived in at the time WPSIAM and the singles they released before that came out. They were honestly a groundbreaking step in modern rock music. Stormzy just rhymes words together for shits and giggles and fills the middle with bollocks.
Yes they had a few duffies along the way, but every Stormzy song is just stream of consciousness crap-filler between nursery level rhyming.
Alex Turner wrote modern poetry, Stormzy talks shite over music.

??? out of upvotes
You forgot one:
Stormzy - why not Dizzee
I mean Dizze would make more sense least he could fill a full set-list without resorting to talking about he's mam.

Helders sang. Turner wrote it?
You know I'm right, that's why you can't answer me.
Turner wrote it. Yep. The other poster was talking out his rear orifice.

Had anyone dropped in the genius of Dylan's Wiggle Wiggle yet?
Ahead of it's time. Not mention, it's fucking deep for what is essentially a kids song he wrote for his daughter.

Record industry in 'pushing people they think will be a hit with the public' shocker
But those people being pushed by record industries don't get to portray themselves as indie hip hop saviours of music as the person commenting about public enemy attempted to paint them before.

[Verse 1]
Mister Marks, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee?
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong
Ah, but, Mister Marks, I won't need her long
All I need is help for a little while
We can take dictation and learn to smile
And a temporary secretary
Is what I need for to do the job
I need a
[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
[Verse 2]
Mister Marks, could you send her quick?
'Cause my regular has been getting sick
I need a
[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretaryA well considered social commentary on the workplace relationships dynamic that traps so many women in power plays and the greed of business-men to assume women are their property.

Both are those are far more pieces of creative genius than Stormzy's this word rhymes with that word fill in the blanks with rubbish approach to song-writing.

Demographic of the average Arctic Monkeys fan post-AM.
I'm old enough to remember when Dancefloor first came out.?
So are most 20-25 year olds, we sang it in primary school/early secondary school and are equally bemused by THBC as you lot. Although many of us dug AM tbf.
Average AM fan post-TBHC and is a mental hospital patient.
Now get AM to do THBC in full and see what happens to the commentariat.

Public Enemy were the definition of an "Indie" group though, and big labels didn't really start cashing in on Hip Hop until the mid 90s, when PE were past their prime.
Bollocks. Public Enemy were marketed as an indie group but all the money was been syphoned off by big record companies.Just because that big record company was owned by a black guy doesn't make it any less of a predatory big corp,
Def Jam was owned by CBS after all and is now owned by UMG and Virgin in the US and UK respectively, the intention was always to exploit the emerging hip-hop scene for the companies gain, not some indie goal as you seem deluded to believe. Public Enemy were one of a number of victims in this story.

Chuck D is still doing his thing, pushing 60.
Public Enemy were manufactured by pop companies to cash in on rap. They don't count.

Nah no one can be arsed with it @battleborn. Pack it up.
On this rarre occasion I express my actual opinion.
Wiley is the better musician for starters. As is Skepta. Stormzy is just someone who talks shite over beats. Do you lot really think he should grace the same stage as Paul McCartney?

The poetic genius that is
QuoteTry tell me I'm way too big to rebel?
Nah, man, you're never too big to rebel
I was in the O2 singing my lungs out
Rudeboy, you're never too big for Adele
Leave my yard, blow a kiss to my girl
Salute to my sister as well
Gotta keep trophies down at my mum's bitMan, I'm getting way too big for my shelf
Man, I see bare MCs wanna sideline
But I still got a couple bangers in the pipelineThe modern Paul McCartney, Paul Simon or Bob Dylan, evidently
He isn't even grimes answer to Alex Turner.
Nursery kids could write better shit than this.

Monsters of rock was a music festival - download is a commercial rock festival.
Glastonbury is not a music festival - it's a festival of contemporary arts - and like it or not stormzy is contemporary.
It would be a stretch to call his output art though.

… he's 25 years old
In a genre where you're lucky if you live to 30.
Although he seems more together than many rappers.
Get Wiley subbing him or on the undercard now that would be a hoot.

I thought Glasto was a music festival? Not on this evidence.

So when I saw them headlining Monsters Of Rock in 1981 and again in 1991 they weren't actually playing a festival?
You know what I mean, they rarely play festivals.

Brian Johnson back in the AC/DC fold, apparently
He was seen in the studio.
His retirement statement specifically outlined he might come back to do studio stuff but had been medically ruled unfit to do stadium/large outdoor live performances.
We've had this conversation a million times.
Not to mention they don't do festivals in the UK. Why would you when you could sell out Wembley for a week.
