And I remember it took the duration of several full moons and 4 cricket matches for James Brown to actually take to the stage.

the chillies for me are in my top 5 best live acts iv seen at a festival and top 5 worst . 1999 at reading they were awsome as a festival perfomance only neil young glasto 09 , paul mccartny glasto 04 and the foos at reading 05 have been better (imo).. but at v2003 stafford they were awfull , out of tune not playing together just utter shite i thought they were average at the hyde park gigs as well .

Dear god I hope not. Anyone who saw their Reading headline slot in 2007 will understand my opinion. They were absolutely abysmal, I've never seen such a terrible headline performance and I've seen Razorlight and Kings Of Leon having their meriod last year at Reading.

If RHCP are playing surely that has to increase the chances of an appearance by Atoms For Peace which I am very much hoping for?!

For this reason I am very much hoping they are there

But live? Saw them live a few years ago at the Man City stadium though and was hugely disappointed. To me they treated it like a low-grade warm up for the Hyde Park gig a few weeks later. Terrible set-list, generated no atmosphere at all, had a big pop at the crowd for not liking support act Chicks on Speed (who were f*cking awful) and played the rest of their set in a childish strop after alienating the fans who'd paid a shedload to see them. Found the whole idea of AK lecturing other ppl about their behaviour highly amusing too...

Personally, my money is on Coldplay

[disasterplan]

I can't believe this band used to be my favourite. We are talking like 10 years ago, mind.

jealous! Not had the pleasure of seeing them live yet

oh and what's with the " " ...like you said nowt wrong with coldplay

[disasterplan]

I'll definitely see Coldplay but would rather hurt myself than see RHCP again.

[geztival_09]

i was more excited about Jay-Z supporting them but was quite surprised by coldplay... the only bad thing is i missed quite a bit of their set because i actually had to do some work

[bezza18]

i thought the whole festival this year was supposed to be bands playing where we wouldnt expect?

I really would love Coldplay to open the Pyramid stage - I've seen them 3 times, but the last time was Glastonbury in 2005.

I really don't care about their critics - I think they're a top band and my fingers are firmly crossed for them. They'd be great.
