Eminem?

Is anyone else enjoying the irony of insults and harsh words being thrown around all over the place in a thread about Eminem?

If it is the case, as eFestivals has stated, that Eminem would be unlikely to be invited to Glastonbury because of his questionable lyrics, then I can only conclude that whoever makes these decisions is a class A hypocrite or has just heard others opinions on said lyrics and not bothered to listen for themselves (much like many on here it would appear).

Can you justify that comment?

You are a thicko. I can justify this comment by pointing to your post as evidence.

Care to show me anywhere in those lyrics where it's made clear that they're not what he believes?

Or in an interview, where he's been asked to say one way or another?

Or anywhere?

The point is that there's not one single thing that you can put forwards which can confirm the view you've decided to take. The point is that Eminem has refused to say things are as you claim that they are.

So why is your guess without anything to give that guess any substance the correct guess but Glastonbury's guess where there are things to give that guess substance (via his refusal to condemn his words) the hypocritical one? :P

ummm.... ignoring the homophobia side to things for one minute but there's another reason why eminem shouldn't play glasto... he makes shit kiddy hip hop for 12 year olds! and as for the whole pete townsend thing if you watch the film tommy (or listen to the album) i think its pretty clear that when he was writing it he was drawing on his own experiences of being abused as a child, not an excuse for downloading child pornography i know but i seriously doubt he was ever an abuser himself and the fact that the police investigation didn't lead to a conviction seems to support this

Efestivals is probably one of the most hypocritical forums i have seen.

The amount of forummers who will bend the rules to fit there own argument is quite frankly shocking and it doesn't help when you have neil at the helmet[/color fanning the flames.

You might have a point.

But firstly you'd have to tell me what those rules are that you say are being bent. Can you?

Once you've backed up your statement of (un)truth I'll put you right as to those rules. :P

    • Yeah.   Revisit in 2 weeks, then 👀
    • Even with the recent heavy showers it's too early to tell what site conditions would have been like.  The very hot spell would have certainly dried things up considerably, and rain since then has been equalled by a stiff breeze so, without the benefit of actually walking the site, I'd guess ground conditions at present are about perfect.   If we had a festival to look forward to I think the weather watchers would have been at the "all to play for" stage at present.
    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
