strudders Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Haha the crowd loved doing that last year, can't say I hate it though. I'm disapointed by the lack of massive singalongs and what not, it's a f**king festival, 100,000 people need something to really go for. I loved when Jay-z opened with Wonderwall, it gave me the singalong I craved then the rest of the set I could just throw myself about to. Ideally I'd want a headliner to go crazy to on Friday, a big f**k off singalong on the Saturday and some sort of Class act to see me out with (Something along the lines of Fri:The Prodigy Sat: Strictly classic Oasis and then someone like Sir Elton for Sunday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornmaster Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 one more of these james blunt...what are the chances and the 4th headliner is a cat scratching a blackboard i think i'll go insane, it wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt for the unrealistic suggestions made either in that their choice of bands which headlined within the past 2 years or their choice NME bands grr that grinds my gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 people videoing the gig on their mobile phones. Yeah, your grainy image from the middle of a crowd with short arsed you holding a crappy nokia at arms lenght is going to be muh better than the BBC's professionally filmed coverage.

biscant Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I am all for singing along, dancing like loons, whooping and cheering, screaming even! but when people stand and clap like demented seals, out of time with little "catch up claps" to get back in time it becomes more than annoying! However sing-alongs are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam. Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I can't stand the f**king Klaxons or any of that new fangled beepy music (TV on the Radio, Metronomy, Late of the Pier etc) that's so popular these days! I have a horrible feeling the Peel tent will be full of them though. Ga! Edited January 25, 2009 by Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornmaster Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Then John Peel you have saved my festival. I love these bands. I hope that lot off the BBC Sound of 2009 are all playing too. The likes of Late of the Pier would be more than welcomed, accompanied by Florence & the machine etc. Ooo, now that was my first non negative post on the Glasto forum, think I'm getting confused! Springsteen, Blue and Neil Diamond? There's your negativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was thinking the same thing. TV on the Radio aren't new fangled plinky-plonky music, they're nothing like Klaxons. And Klaxons aren't that similar to Metronomy or Late of the Pier either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sipperana Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 One thing I hate is people who seem to think you're not allowed to dislike the bands they love. As an example, I'm on a Facebook group dedicated to the detestation of a certain Brummie reggae band, and so many people come on and have a go at us for expressing our opinions on the matter. Whatever happened to free speech, people? I for one don't regard people who like such bands as retards or whetever, or insist they stop listening to it, just feel sorry for them wasting good time doing so. Anyway, for the record, if they were appearing at Glastonbury I would be doing my level best to avoid the following... Coldplay - I have been forced to sit through a previous Glastonbury set by this band, an experience that I would list just below gouging out my eyes with a spoon Kings of Leon - there are a large number of people I know whose musical tastes I generally share, but their appreciation of this lot baffles me. Horribly whiny voice, tuneless songs. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tedium Arcedium Oasis - justifiably nicknamed Quoasis for their ability to make a little go an extremely long way The Ting Tings - tuneless The Kooks - pointless Babyshambles - talentless. I stomached about two songs at the Other stage in 2005 before wandering off to find something listenable. The View - their version of Up The Junction was unforgivable. Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Kate Nash - all far too annoying, I don't even get as far as the music with these people Most of the glottal pop bands - Arctic Monkeys, Holloways, Paddingtons, Fratellis etc. I used to really like the Fratellis when they were raw and shabby but they bore me now. Seems that I've thrown up a lot of the same bands that a lot of others have, which is comforting. Also they're the sort of bands that will be filling the Pyramid/Other stages, leaving the rest of the festival free to host more interesting acts.
