Happy Mondays

[VCK]

What do people think? Somewhere near the top of the Other Stage?

[Paul ™]

Yes please!

[strudders]

Yeh I would be there to see that as well.

[Mardy]

Not any more, seen 'em in their heyday, loved 'em, there's a part of me will always suffer from lazyitis, but these days they're just a mess, rather than the glorious mess they used to be. Thy should just let it go. I know they need the money, but f***ing hell, it's ropey. Upsets me enormously

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

They would be great!

i saw them on the "Uncle Dysfunktional" tour, they were bloody good

[VCK]

A bit of this please!:

Mardy, being poor is what the Mondays are about. So bad it's good, good, good, good, double good!

[Mardy]

hehehe, you know, I think I agree with you. If they're on, I reckon I'll just have to get as addled as them, that's the only answer ;-)

I'm in. Also saw them on the last tour. I reckon about 7pm on the other stage tho they'd be awesome headlining one of the dance tents

I'd be there, saw them at the Edinburgh Venue (basically pub with a stage) around 87 before they'd charted. Was an amazing gig, can't imagine they'd be as good now, but still entertaining I'd reckon.

Saw them at V in 07 and they were quality. Bez just did his freaky dancing bit and Shaun just spent the entire gig sat down in front of the drums....As you say, just get as mullered as the Mondays and it would be a top show.....

[karlpowell]

So whats brought this about ? * flicks to rumour page * ......nothing on there

saw them at V in 07 and they were surprisingly good, and isn't shaun ryder teetotal these days, i've heard he really had cleaned up his act.

find that hard to believe and if true hope it doesn't adversely effect his performances

he and bez are DJ'ing a my friends club in a few weeks so i will get to see for myself and i'll ask them if they know whether they're playing next year.

[souldancer]

Yeah I would'nt mind seeing them. Ive just finished reading Bez's autobiography what a sheltered life he's led

[jeanettekaren]

I saw them at V last year and I thought they were amazing, but I'd never seen them play before so they could have just stood there for an hour and I'd have been happy

[cabstar]

At V this year the where truly truly shocking.

Week before the V festival teh drummer left along with the guitar player then Bez didn't even bother turning up.

Rowetta tried her best but Ryder just kept on lighting fags & drinking lager.

Pure dogshit.

By the way I loved teh Happy Mondays but that appearance just killed it for me!!!

happy Mondays review

[biscant]

I seen them a few years ago at liverpool academy, best crowd I've ever seen. From the first note every single person was dancing with no exception, fact haha.

[eFestivals]

Just the thought of one of the best bands ever playing Glasto crossing my mind.

the Monday's are responsible for putting in one of the most legendary Glastonbury performances - legendary because it was the worst ever.

It was the early nineties (I forget the exact year), and there were around 75,000 in front of the Pyramid Stage to watch them. Within two songs they'd cleared the field of nearly everyone, with crushes at the field exits as everyone tried to get away.

It was absolutely diabolical. Out of tune; out of time; Ryder not knowing the words. Truly legendary.

This year they played V Festival. They've improved massively, but are still one of the shittest live bands ever:-

They were pretty abominable (but hilarious) in, I think, 2000.
