Led Zeppelin & Pixies

[vintagelaureate]

the pixies were awesome at leeds a few years back, so i wouldnt mind catching them again.

if led zep get announced the excitment might be too much to bare!

[Bobs]

It Led Zeppelin play, i know what im getting my dad for his B'day

[fowls]

Led Zepp rumour would be all my dreams combined. Never felt so jealous of people at a gig than that O2 show...

Pixies would be fab. Really hope it's second down and not Other Stage though. Pixies' sets are so short having them as second down doesn't really cut into their set time all that much. Would much rather bands who can play a longer set keep the top slots.

They always seem to cram in 25-30 songs into an hour-long set which is longer than your average two hour long set!

Pixies would be amazing if they played. Kind of would like them to be other stage headliners on the Friday as it would give me a place to go during U2. Though on the other hand I like the idea of getting into trash city and all those places during U2 when its not mobbed lol.

I don't know if I could handle them clashing with Led Zepplin if that became a possibilty. Though I've seen the Pixies .

Zeppelin without Bonham? No thanks. I agree with what Plant said way back when Bonzo died. To carry on without him "would be in bad taste".

Plant and Krauss please!!

Corrected for you.

With Bonham's son drumming I don't really see how it's in bad taste. I'm sure Bonham would be proud of his son and happy that the band got to play again. That said, it'd be a miracle if anyone could convince Plant it is a good idea.

[Yokel Again]

Never really got into either of these bands, but they are legendary so I would probably go to see both. Best thing about Glasto is going to see some legends you'd not normally go to their own gig as it would be £60 a ticket.

[5co77ie]

I think they'll play before U2.

They supported U2 on one tour. Plus Bono's apparently a massive fan so I reckon he'll demand they're on before them, or at least not clash with his band!

As I say, I'm hoping The Strokes will headline Other Stage Friday.

I saw Pixies at the end of Sept. They faxed in a 1hour5minutes show with zero participation or connection to the crowd. They sounded great, sure... but it felt a little flat.

Ive seen them 3 or 4 times now and Frank Black another good few times. He is only in it for the cash.

That said, hearing "Break My Body" or "River Euphrates" in the sunset spot at GF10 would be animal.

All the self appointed "keepers of J. Bonham's flame" can fark off btw. Zepp at Glasto makes perfect sense. A drummer is a drummer. It will sound fantastic with his kid on the skins. Get over yourselves for f*cksake.

Yup, that's just how they were when I saw them twice when they first reformed.

A drummer is a drummer.

Pixies were incredible at Brixton in October, would love to see them play Doolittle in it's entirety again!

[Steve P]

I've tried lots of times to get into The Pixies, got a couple of their albums, but I just don't get what people seem to think is so great about them. I watched a concert of them playing at the Newport beach Jazz festival and they sounded dreadful. My better half watched a couple of minutes of it and then asked what was wrong with the sound Still if they're booked lots of peeps will be happy.

As for LZ, if they all truely want to do it then yes please!

[ethereal]

If I could ask for 2 bands next year it would be LZ and Pixies. Seen Pixies 12 times over the years but would still be great to see them at Glastonbury finally.

Page and Plant 1995 is still the best thing I've seen there, though Simple Minds following them remains one of life's great enigmas

Sorry, I don't actually believe you when you say you'd rather see Plant and Krauss than Led Zep with JB's son.

I think you're just saying that to be a little different and sound respectful where as I imagine you'd secretly spunk your load if Zep got announced for the Pyramid

[The Nal]

Don't be a dickhead you get my point. If they played with Jason and the Prodigy were on again would you give me the "Nah, Corway... zero interest." speil once more? Doubt it. You'd be down the front with the rest of the Zepp fanboys going balubas. A drummer is a drummer Ollan. If theyre capable, theyre capable.

[Wooderson]

Thats total horseshit x 1000.

Bonham was the best drummer of all time, but his performance can be imitated/replicated to my uneducated ears

[Colin88]

I couldn't care less about the drummer if I get to hear the rest of the band play songs like Black Dog, Dazed & Confused or Rock N Roll. If Bonham's son can do the job well enough then I can't see why they shouldn't do it. It would be amazing, but I still think it's unlikely.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing The Pixies. I remember seeing them at Reading in 2005 for a few songs, ended up getting a bit bored and decided it would be better to go back to the tent to sleep. To be fair, I didn't really know any of their songs at the time, so I think I'd enjoy this time far more.
