KISS...!

[sifi]

I'm not attempting to discuss the merits of Kiss, I'm not even a fan of their music, I was simply trying to point out the fact that there is no such thing as a 'Glastonbury' band and that recent years have shown us that the Eavis' are more than willing to offer the unexpected. The goddamn Sugarbabes have played for gods sake, hardly a shining example of musical integrity and talent.

So there's a thing.... i think everyone is missing... IF kiss did play (they wont, I know) then they would have chosen to play under glastonbury's conditions (ie not much money) therefore they would become a glastonbury band... so, IF it happened (it wont) imagine how good their full show would be on the pyramid.. i have seen it at finsbury park years back and I KNOW it would be a mega glasto moment... shame it wont happen tho... incidently, i think if they were approached to do it then they might well for the kudos... they are a mega business but they would know what playing glasto means... they're not complete assholes...

I want the best - and they are the hottest band in the world

[Bobs]

you know what my reply is.. but bring it on, if they play i'll be there, i don't see why not, but again money wise, if they aren't headliners, do they deserve what they are getting?

I'd love to see this happen but there's absolutely no chance of a decent retro metal/rock band playing at Glastonbury - Status Quo came very close but were treated as a novelty act( 1:00pm?) more than the seriously class band that they are. The Download audience is very, very different in most respects to the Glasto audience, which is a shame.

I cannot see the problem

Both Simmons and Stanley own farms in the US , I know that Paul Stanley is a keen wheat and dairy farmer and I think Gene Simmons breeds cattle on his organic farm in Nebrasks

So they do have a lot in common with Mr Eavis !

Bring em on !

Before I went, I thought I was probably as far from representative of the Download audience as people could get. I really enjoyed it (apart from the setting) which is basically a big car park. I found the crowd were brilliant, well up for a good time. It wasn't wall to wall Scandinavian death metal either. Especially liked the latenight "disco" and trippy fairground in the big campsite (although it is about 4 miles from the mainsite).

And would also like to thank LiveNation for the free booze and food two days, even though we had absolutely no right or reason, to be in your lovely corporate tent.

My KISS ticket arrived this afternoon! Roll on May 5th. Birmingham here I cum!

[tolywoly]

I've got a ticket for the Glasgow gig. But I don't see them getting Glasto or being willing to lower their fee enough to play it.

Imagine the exact opposite of what Glasto represents... yeah, that's where Kiss are.

Do cash cows flogging the same dead horse 25 years after their 15 minutes of fame ran out really belong at a festival like glastonbury? Especially considering they're corporate whores who won't settle for the minuscule wage glastonbury can afford to offer.

I don't think glasto would settle for Kiss, and Kiss definitely won't settle for glasto.

Do you know who would be a great choice for the Pyramid stage and would suprise a lot of people as to how well they fit into Glasto - wait for it.......Iron Maiden, Imagine the Powerslave set (egyptian theme for those who don't know) on the Pyramid stage. If only the band themselves and the Eavises/Glasto could see/agree how great this would be. I think if all the "no Metal at Glasto" naysayers went there with an open enough mind (That includes YOU Eavis ) they'd be blown away by a full Maiden show on the Pyramid

If anyone needs me i'll be behind the sofa hiding from the negative comments

You make a good pitch for Maiden at Glasto, that does sound amazing.

I'd love it, but thousands wouldn't. They are an incredible live band though so maybe they'd be able to win a lot of people over.
