Well its certainly true in Pearl Jam's case. Anyone who was at Pearl Jam's headline set in 2007 knows it was a special moment in the history of Reading and Pearl Jam.
The others i'm guessing, but i know i'm right
(Grohl and Homme say its the best festival crowd in the world, that's fact). Its all about Reading for the bands. Its older, larger, more famous, more history. Did Nirvana give one of the greatest festival performances of all time at Leeds? No! Because it didn't exist. It was only created as a marketing gimmick for mean fiddler and Carling. And i bet you KoL wouldn't have cared as much if they had nailed their Reading performance but messed up their Leeds gig.To be honest though i think the difference is when the Reading crowd gives love then there's little to rival it (e.g. bringing Vedder to tears), but they're also not scared to tell a band when they're crap or plain old not wanted. Leeds just sat back and left fifty cents feed them his pathetic gangster rap. Reading pelted him with hate until he got off their stage.
A band has to earn the respect of the crowd at Reading. There's only one group in charge at Reading as KoL found out on Friday, and that's the punters, and that's how it should be.
(BTW, i've been to both Leeds and Reading, Leeds is great but there's no mistaking which one the bands care more about)

which live song stood out for you the most? one that really left you buzzing
mine was probably afi- leaving song part 2
other honourable mentions
radiohead-everything in its right place
temper trap- sweet disposition
billy talent- red flag

didnt get searched on way in, maybe because it really started to hammer it down as we got to the enterance an they wanted to get people in quicker.
whenever i went into the arena i hid a can of beer in my trousers, must have done it 10 times an didnt get searched.
a cold beer on your nuts at night time is no fun though!
-
they were literally everywhere i turned. in my tent, outside my tent, on the way to the arena, in the arena, day, night whatever the temperature was i saw wasps.
but i slayed many of them
-
it makes him a moron cause he shouted buttscratcher about 10 seconds after...
-
they were the band i enjoyed the least over the weekend which dissapointed me because after seein them at download 06 i was buzzing to watch them again. thought the sound quality was shit as well.
i dont really understand why people try to get to the front for bands like the prodigy and complain that they get crushed.
-
i havent been to leeds since 05, went to all the early ones where all the big riots happened then went to 05, but found myself feeling a little to old, so im giving it another go this year but ive just read that gas canisters are banned..
usually at festivals i cook most of my own food, surely they cant ban gas canisters because it means people have to buy there food then?
-
what Manchester Orchestra songs are good your favourite 3-5?
-
what do people reckon their setlist will be?
-
lay a cable?
-
i go into town real quick to lay a cable an get any supplys i need
-
if i see pendulum live one more time i think im gonna scream. its getting very old
-
not trying ot cause a panic here.
but so many thousand people in close proximity in a field.
if one person catches it then its 28 days later people
Left 4 dead has taught me the combat i need
-
That's like saying "I drove drunk last week and I didn't kill anyone, so it must be ok."
-
Dont cook in your tent. Its a really f**king stupid idea.
-
The Prodigy should have headlined, there latest album was number 1 and they are a more exciting and inspired headliner
-
i think that for most people, even if they like AM and KOL they would agree its pretty uninspiring to have them both headline the same festival. itd be like if Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Cheifs headlined the same festival. just very....meh
-
Yer, if your prepared to miss the headliners then get in the Que!
The silent disco is good but once you have done it once then theres nothing more that your missing. One thing that annoys me is that its just a recorded playlist. The DJ is sort of funny in a cheesy way, and there are some classics playing. Great for when you are smashed, lol.
-
during the friday saturday and sunday i was just wondering when the best time to start queuing for the silent disco is. i went to it on the thursday last year (cant remember what time) and any other day i tried after that the queue always went a mile round the corner or had reached capacity.
is the best time to start waiting before the mainstage headliner finishes?
-
i couldnt beleive they were announced, i saw the lineup on the leeds website and for some reason there was a split second when i thought i had gone on a fake website and the poster was made up by some fanboy with too much time on his hands.
saw them at download an they rele were sumthin else, easily in the top 3 of the best bands ive ever seen live
-
Love em.
First time I heard "what if punk never happened" I was at work, and the lyrics were so powerful I nearly walked straight out of the office! I actually stood up, and suddenly thought "hang on, what the f*ck am I doing" and sat back down
Seeing them in Guildford in May (nice of them to come to me rather than me have to go to them
) and I'm hoping to see them at download -
I know this has been asked before and subsequently moved to the Reading section, but the Leeds website is now up and has the same information about the banning of gas cannisters, so....
will they be allowed at Leeds this year?
and they say they will eject people caught with them, but the warnings aren't that clear and if you've been before you could always play dumb. who can afford to buy food in the arena for a whole week anyway? the cheapest meals last year were a fiver and I fed myself with my own food for about that much for the whole week.

the mud rele pissed me off last year so im hopin for sunshine
that being said watchin my mate go ass over tit an land flat on his back was the funniest thing i saw, laughed for about 20 minutes straight, he just lay in the mud with a blank face for like 20 seconds with everyone laughin at him haha

ive got no problem with people wearing costumes, people can wear what they like, dosent affect me so it dosent bother me, and sometimes they are original and get a laugh out of me
i do have an issue with people invading my airwaves by yelling buttscratcher every 10 seconds. its like nails on a chalkboard
