QOTSA Vs. M&S

[YumYum]

Queens of the Stone Age are clashing with Mumford. I've never seen Queens but i seen Mumford at Glasto thinking if i see them there i wouldnt mind missing them at Leeds. But its done the opposite, they were amazing. They were 2nd to only Muse for me. So i just want to know what people think QOTSA will be like after they got slated for their '08 set.

Also if i go Mumford, will i struggle getting to the front for GN'R?

[festhead]

id say itll be impossible to get to the front for gnr if you go to mumford

im in the same problem as you i think queens will be good but really wanna see mumford!"

[Electricityscape]

Sorry sorry sorry, for a minute there i thought you were considering watching M&S instead of QOTSA. Oh wait you are, QOTSA will be amazing (everyone has 1 bad gig every so often?) and seen as though you've already seen M%S no competition really is it?

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

I have no clue as well

sigh no more was on repeat when it was released last year up until a few months ago

I don't really understand the appeal of qotsa at the moment, the only songs I can get my head around is no one knows,feel good hit of the summer and lost art of keeping a secret - although I'm slaying away at the albums

but when will I ever get to see qotsa again

and Mumford will be force fed down me over the next year at least

any advice?!

[Bradders]

Just watch Adam Green. I doubt you'll see a more energetic and fun set the whole weekend.

I was absolutely gutted with QOTSA in 08', most disappointing band of the weekend by a mile. I figured everyone has bad gigs but after seeing Homme with TCV at Download I'm certain he's the worst frontman I've seen (for a large group, I've seen some shit small bands), no energy, enthusiasm, passion or crowd interaction etc. Just the smug & self satisfied. A real shame.

[bennyk]

i'm in the same situation with the clash.

except ive never seen mumford and never seen QOTSA. love them both, the more i listen to mumford the more they grow on me and want to see them. however QOTSA would be an experience and would get a good spot for GNR

arghhhhh :S

[Dan R]

I'm a bit gutted I have to miss M&S but for me it is a have to

QOTSA have played some amazing shows in the past, and I get the feeling Mr Homme will want to show up Axl Rose

Mumford's will be everywhere for the next few years so you're not exactly gonna miss anything which you can't catch again next time round

[Englishdragon]

Ive seen QOTSA twice and never seens M&S

and seen as though I havent stopped listening to sigh no more its a no brainer

Just watch Adam Green. I doubt you'll see a more energetic and fun set the whole weekend.

I can't believe you're even asking this. Mumford and Sons are just another Zane Lowe band of the week, they'll have their 1/2 years of fame and then they'll gracefully disappear as soon as the next big thing for Radio 1 to jizz over comes along. QOTSA on the other hand have been around for over 10 years and have made 4 top quality albums during that time. The question answers itself.

[darth haggis]

the festival republic stage has an answer to your question - blood red shoes are hot stuff! so energetic, and well worth a watch if you're indifferent about m&s and qotsa.

if you're still set on the two aforementioned bands, then i'd recommend qotsa. admittedly, they underperformed in 08 but they're still an amazing band and this is a rare chance to catch their awesome live set.

I plan to catch second half of blood red shoes

would the fr tent be absoloutley rammed by this time as it's only small?

[wehttamuk]

Personally I think I'll be watching Mumford as already seen QOTSA twice and although I love them, I'd rather watch a band I also like, but haven't seen. Plus I wanna watch Phoenix and LCD Soundsystem, so it'll be easier to stay in the one tent

[Matticus]

Make that 5 quality albums. The self titled album is a brilliant record

I won tickets to see mumford at the roundhouse and couldn't go.

Tickets for Mumford then sold out in 30mins for Bristol in Ocotober.

So I'm definatly watching them over Queens. Their preformance at Glasto looked amazing.

It gonna be one hell of a Hoe-down.

[Electricityscape]

Well it looks like the QOTSA crowd won't be huge. Better for me, can get a better place to watch the first hour of GnR.

[silencio]

I'm gonna have to leave Adam Green early to go watch Mumford, which is annoying and I'd love to see Blood Red Shoes... May be able to catch the end of their set.

Saw Mumford & Sons at Manchester Academy at the start of the year, wasn't sure what to expect really but was completely and utterly blown away. Incredible!

To the person who said they won't be around for much longer I'd like to think you are wrong, they're incredibly talented and I can't imagine them or their fanbase giving up any time soon.

Anyway, people should try and watch Adam Green for at least a short while, he is insane!

[j...rox]

Seen Mumford twice, first time never heard of them supporting the maccabees at the electric ballroom, blew me away. Second time was at their new years show at the forum, not as good by any means even though I knew the songs. However, i shall be there for the third time, partly as i'm watching phoenix and LCD.
