I haven't.

But I'm not technically gifted in such matters. I have seen Stevie Vai play a treble necked guitar, but I thought that was mainly fret-w*nkery.

Mind, I still in love Duane Allman and Robbie Robertson, to be honest. Duane Alllman at the end of Layla playing slide. Wub.

Carlos Santana.

I couldnt agree more, it's not someone I would listen to. I guess it's hard to define "best guitarist" when there is so many variables to compare. I guess Steve Vai is best at mindless shredding headf**k. Him trying to pull off a soulful BB King piece wouldnt be so good...

I didn't call anyone a numpty? I didn't post the original list either.

BB King deff still tours and has plenty of dates for this year.

Jimmy Paige has stated he plans to perform solo stuff this year

David Gilmour not sure about touring but certainly plays select live dates so is still around.

Chuck Berry has live dates announced for this year.

Steven Drozd deff still tours unless the Flaiming lips have spilt in the last five minutes.

It is only ever muse fans who come out with hyperbole like:

"Muse are the best live band in the world!"

"Matt Bellamy is the best guitarist in the world!"

This is why muse fans are ridiculed by sensible people. Why cant people just enjoy this band without coming out with ludicrous over the top statements like this? See the thread title for further details.

Idiots.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
