If a band is shit and someone likes that band it is our duty to educate that person.

For example, when some whopper comes on here stating they hope snow patrol will play, wouldnt the bad behaviour be for us to say nothing?

It is our civic duty to turn people away from that sort of dross and on to the good stuff. People learn much more quickly from tough love than gentle cajoling.

This place is a great place to discover good bands (even I have been switched on to some bands I would otherwise never have listened to) so as soon as someone comes along expressing love for obvious shit bands then they HAVE to be shot down swiftly and mercilessly or the reputation this forum has as being frequented by people who have decent musical taste will be tarnished.

Loadsa regulars on this forum love music. Think youre being well harsh!

Take following few examples:

-> Ivan

Single-handedly keeping the David Coverdale poster industry in shoe leather.

-> Mickey Pearce

Pissed that contemporary musicians from his day (Skip James etc) arent round no-more.

-> Bernhard Langdale

Desperately trying to get Bette Midler to play a private show for him in the Tiny Tea Tent this year.

-> Nalinho

Aint interested in anything other than "3 chords and the fu*king truth." but from time to time he cracks. Example being Sir Cliff.

-> T Blair

Coolest cat on efests. Loves pretty much everything class except ironic-years U2.

-> Teva

2nd coolest cat on efests. LOVES journey.

-> Weather beaten aul crusties like Neil, Sif and Scottie

Show mega love for bands on here from time to time. Rarely, granted. But its happened!!

-> Me ilovelanegan and Steve P

Will show up for anything Lanegan related. (This is more obvious for one of us that the others. Clearly)

The place is like a Turkish Bazaar at times though when the Radiohead fans are in. Reeks.

In fairness, I've a shed load of PMs from you going on about her and how great she is. I wont post them obviously as they were written in good faith.

I'm sort of in agreement with the topic poster

All tastes are subjective

The reason why it happens on Glasto forum IMO is that Glasto, unlike many other festivals

attracts a wide range of people, who are of varying ages, and have different tastes in music. As welll as that most go for the festival and not for the bands (no bands are announced when tickets sell out)

Therefore X band is rubbish posts are inevitable; I doubt the V or Reading crowd will have that much of a variety of views as there is a narrower field of artists

You'd think so - but they're actually far worse. :P
