Sadly this does not surprise me.
Really?
The festival crowd seem especially murderous this year?

Deciding to do a shite cover of Under Pressure but only playing 5 songs from your first three albums is a massive error of judgement
i dont think there's a single person in the world who would prefer to see Taylor sing under pressure over them ripping through Hey Jonny Park or banging out For all the Cows

Wrong thread

They had that "Glastonbury moment"

Professional and statesmanlike but 97 and 03 that was not

I actually thought this year was the best security I'd seen in years. Hardly noticed them most of the time, which is the way it should be. A few years ago they were very intrusive and aggressive. Much much better this year. Always a few dickheads though

Thanks fella. Will be sporadic, but glasto is approaching.
Wasn't the best of the setlists last night, think Leeds got that, but his snarling and grungy rendition of Revolution Blues was exceptional. Seemed like he threw it into the setlist at the last moment as well as he had to take time out to have a short chat with the band just before they started it.

2 words: Revolution Blues
Exceptional gig. To see shakey and his old black tear it up like he was at the end was an absolute joy

Ah thanks. would be so much better if I could get the £7 mega bus home from Victoria at 23.50 instead of having to pay for a last minute hotel room!
Very doable, even if gig doesn't finish until 11 on the dot. (It'll prob finish 10:50)
*over cautious estimates* 10 minute from end of gig to get on train at chalk farm, 5 minutes to Euston, 7 minute change at Euston. 8 minutes to Victoria on Victoria line, 15 minutes from getting off at victoria to getting on Bus. 45 minutes absolute max, could do that in 30 on a good day with a jog on.
(I used to commute from chalk farm to Victoria)

if you like their more chilled out stuff then you have to listen to their score for the film "Friday night lights". It's sublime.
It's not on spotify or available over here though, only on US import. It is on youtube though

I saw them at the RAH last night and I thought they were magnificent. They looked and sounded incredible

What happens when you get to the end of the online queue. Do you just get choice of day you originally clicked on, or choice of all days?

With Twitter you don't even have to reply, unlike when some idiot approaches you outside a train station, so the fact he's volunteering that says quite a lot

If it is Muse then Matt Bellamy is a big fat lier. I'd love it to be them but I'm thinking it might have fallen through.
-
So I just bumped into Matt Bellamy at Newton Abbot station (he was waiting outside for his mum to pick him up, bless), so I asked him if Muse were playing bestival and he said "no", I said I thought they were the special guests and he said "definitely not". Said about download and something about a UK tour coming up early next year. Nice guy. Very polite.
So there you have it folks. Straight from the horses mouth. Unless he wasn't prepared to say yes, he seemed pretty adamant though

university is an option anyway, surely? its accessible to all (albeit with loans)
i must add that this is only against the point of the accessibility due to money constraints, nothing else
But the wealthiest can afford private schooling and private tutoring aimed specifically at getting the best possible A-level grade. The top courses at the top universities are filled with privately educated students who are there because they have had the best schooling mum and dad's money can buy them

My politics sits somewhere just left of centre. I've never voted tories and my vote has flirted round the left and centrist parties. I have some libertarian views on some things, some socialist views on others. I believe in the power of a free market, I believe passionately in free speech even the most offensive, I believe in equal opportunities for all but that natural orders forming in society is an inevitable consequence of the human condition. I take each debate and issue on face value and use my experience to decide which position to take on it. That means I veer a bit left of my average centre-left position on some things and veer right on others. I'm not perfect, I'm probably a bit selfish on some of my views, but try my best to think of the greater good while naturally putting my young family first in my decisions.
Glastonbury is a politically left festival, always has been, always should be. Leftist politics is at the heart and soul of its collective conscious. That's hugely important not just for the festival but for society to have places where left views can flourish, to expect anything different from the festival is barmy.
Saying all that, some of self righteous lefty guff pouring out of some of the people on this thread is nauseating to say the least, and some or the things being claimed as uniquely lefty ideals are utterly absurd. Also claiming the left to be the caring side of politics while calling anyone else a c**t is ludicrous.
Anyway, that's my tuppence worth

Took this year off as didn't quite know if we'd be up to it with a 7 month year old as she wasn't even born when tickets went on sale. Knowing her now I know she would have loved it, but she's our first so the unknowns were too much back in October. But glasto 2016, my 11th will definitely be her first. can't wait!

And this was shameful, not even the fact he is the only person on the planet that doesnt know the words to Bohemian Rhapsody, but the fact he wasnt even in the right key.
Not sure what you're taking about t8yman. I see nothing in this video to discredit his claim of being the world's greatest living rock star

Watching from the armchair this year but it was total shite. The musical equivalent of the incoherent ramblings of a madman. As an exhibition of narcissism it was world class, as an exhibition of musicianship and putting on a huge festival headline show it was pathetic

A lot of people's girlfriends are in there

Thanks everyone for the kind messages. We've been at home a few days now and we're settling in nicely. Mum doing much better and Zoe has as good as gold - long may it continue!

Clearly this is tragic but it could have happened anywhere. of all the festivals I've been to, fortunately I've never been close to being unsurprised that there might be a murder. I think your over egging this
