2013 Headliners

[Wooderson]

I'm surprised you didn't make your sub joke again Woody, that ones hilarious.

[Englishdragon]

I still think you are a loser

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Good old British wit from you there horse.

[Wooderson]

I'm not sure which part of that I object to more.

[MichaelsBeard]

doesn't Dylan usually stick to piano / keyboard these days? can't remember where it was but i remember somebody saying he was on keyboard for an entire set with a guitar teasingly sitting at the front of the stage. he got up, picked it up to applause from the crowd, and then shook his head and returned to the keyboard. that old git

[The Nal]

The thing is, he's abysmal live these days. He reworks his songs to the point that they're unrecogniseable.

I've seen most the legendary acts over the last 8 years and he's the only one I left thinking it was time he chucked it in.

[A13]

Could the Chili Peppers be an option?

They're headlining the BDO in Aus at the moment.

[sisco]

Seen a lot of Guilty pleasures banded about on here. Girls Aloud etc... But come on how about the true guilty pleasure of Take That!

Forget about them. Go and see Take Fat, and then try and tell me that it's music worthy of mention.

[eFestivals]

I know I would see u down the front, knickers in the air!

Not me. I was avoiding them, and the police even made it their duty to help me avoid them.

[LondonTom]

I knew all of the songs, but some of them I didn't know well. Throughout all the atmospheric, slow songs, I was mesmerised by the band on stage. Throughout all the uptempo, pop songs, I danced like I've never danced before, and made sure I had the time of my life. I screamed my lungs out to Wrong Number, which remains my favourite ever moment at a gig/festival.

From now on, whenever The Cure play in the UK, I'll be there. And I wouldn't have said this before their Leeds set last year. That's how good it was in my eyes.

[Bradders]

Yeah I agree. I liked maybe 3 or 4 Cure songs before, didn't think I knew any others but I think I ended up knowing about 10. All of these were brilliant and the ones I didn't know were great too. Really surprisingly good set, I'd love to see em again now.

[abdoujaparov]

Hes been doing that since the mid 70s.

[FloorFiller]

he's always done it - Dylan is one of those musicians for whom a song is never really "finished" - there isnt a definitive version of any of songs...they evolve

[abdoujaparov]

that's bullshit though, really. if he never believed they were finished then why put them to record? i get the whole 'evolving as an artist and doing the same with past material' stuff but if i went to see Dylan, i'd want to recognise the songs i'm listening to

[Ted Dansons Wig]

no, it's not bullshit. If anything, your comment is bullshit as it fails to recognise that there is more than one kind of creativity. Dylan has always recorded the songs when they felt right to record - often not telling his band whether they were rehearsing or committing to tape. Whether or not you recognise the versions he now does of his songs is, frankly, neither here nor there. They're his songs and I think he would take the view that he can do what he likes with them. He's an artist, not an ipod....

[mattgimmeshelter]

Red hot chilli peppers are one of the most over rated bands of all time.

[abdoujaparov]

i'm sure you wouldn't be saying the same if one day Bob Dylan decided he wanted to perform his songs in a manner similar to Bring Me The Horizon with a sprinkling of Skrillex. they're 'his' songs but releasing them on record to the public in some way makes them their songs as well - the songs they've learnt to love on the record he sold them

[The Nal]

They are his songs and I accept his freedom to do what the fuck he likes with them
