Hopefully QOTSA isnt ruined by douchebag GnR fans

Some questionable memories here. Their 08' set wasn't ruined by fans? No-one was shouting anything or throwing anything. QOTSA drew a big crowd who quickly got bored by a lacklustre performance & then everyone just seemed to start chatting amongst themselves. I was pretty much front & centre at Leeds & there was no hostility in the crowd at all.

If anything the run of NOFX, Prophets & Biffy (if it stays like that) should make for a hyped up crowd, lets hope QOTSA don't kill the atmosphere before GnR like they did last time.

What a bloody stupid thread.

Personally, GN'R and QOTSA are my two favourite bands and that sunday night will be the best of my life.

If you're not a fan of QOTSA, go get a beer, see somebody else or pipe down and who knows, you might be surprised and enjoy what you see. The same applies for GN'R. Please don't ruin anybody's festival by being arses and throwing shit.

Saw them at Reading Rivermead in 2007 and they were incredible. As were a slightly different version of the band at V in 2003.

I thought they were good in 2008, I was smashed though and anything would have sounded good at the time, can't wait for them this year.

I think most people who are fans of Gn'R will be fans of QOTSA to be honest. I thought QOTSA's set at Leeds 08 was brilliant. Ok it didn't have all of the singles or the fan favourites but as far as the music and performance went, they pissed over everyone else (apart from Manics) at the festival imo.

I'd be surprised if there were that many hardcore GNR fans to be honest, most of them would be put off by the fact that it isn't the 'proper' band so it'll mainly just be younger people who know five or six songs and who will probably be into QOTSA as well anyway.

Wasn't like that at Reading. We were miles away and yet the whole crowd was buzzing. Although I know what you are talking about though.....Kings Of Leon last year was full of people just wanting to hear 'Sex On Fire' and 'Be Somebody'. Wish they didn't slow down so many songs though. :P

    • Remain self-imposed on not going north of a hundred, but... we're getting to the point now where the starting gun will be above that for some acts.
    • I'm finding the lower line up a little impenetrable this year   Any thoughts on heavier bands a la Slift a few years ago?
    • Will be curious to see how most of those shows sell. Surprised they're playing Leeds and Manchester - much as I am with Megadeth. (Not complaining, mind you.)
