EMINEM

He was awful at Reading in 2001. I still have this memory of there being a bigger push to get out of the crowd than there was to get down the front. He's probably an alright bloke but he goes out of his way in his attempts to be controversial, which is unfortunate in some cases.

Pisses me off the way people just jump to ridiculous conclusions based on something they've read or heard about thats almost certainly been taken out of context or mis-interpreted.

Yet these very same people would happily cry out for people like the very racist Mr. Eric Clapton to play.

How do you know that some of your favourite artists dont have a little jibe at certain races?

I'm not an Eminem fan by any means, but it just annoys me the way people get offended by what is essentially nothing, and then go on to have double standards about the initial offence when it comes to someone/something else.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
