like i said in another thread, i really want to believe the Kanye information but the fact that the info was 'Kanye OR The Strokes' makes it seem a lot less reliable (i think, anyway)

it wasn't one or the other in what was sent to me - but there's only one headline slot, and both are being mooted to me as headliners, so only one of them could possibly headline.

All of it, every single thing they've ever done? I'm not a fan but what they put out doesn't sound as boring as most of the indie rock stuff floating about these days. And the structure of their tunes flow in such a way that at least you can't figure the next bit out before you hear it. That makes it kind of interesting for me, but like said I'm not a big fan, just curious as to why they're like a pariah here.

RHCP: Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, One Hot Minute and Californication are all great albums for the purpose they serve. Fun funk rock. Classics of my teens. They headlined the first festival I went to as well at Reading 99. They were superb. I have time a lot of time for the chilis. Unfortunately getting old was never going to suit them and post californication has been a bit of a disaster.

They had some decent tunes in the 90s but everything post 2000 has been an abomination and their like shows are notoriously terrible. The fact the they're all about 40 yet still act like like teenagers just adds to their shiteness.

was it ever any good? what about in the 1920s when it was advertising the latest trumpets? it was prob promoting some new fangled trumpet and ignoring all the decent trumpets..

You should adapt this site Neil to include a proper online mag, it could be great. You could have more reviews of gigs, festivals and albums/singles and the advertisers would lap it up. Cheap as well, because most of your contibutors could be from the people on these forums, doing it for their love of music and festivals. It could be great and give the likes of the dreadful NME a run for their money. The music industry needs a proper music mag. I know I find these forums brilliant for finding out about new bands and new music - there aren't that many places where you can find it these days. And I am know you would do it for the right reasons, not for massive profit, but for the love of music

I could be your 1970's/1980's electronic music correspondent!

    • It can take around 30-45 mins to walk from the arena back to the transport hub with the crowds, depending on density. Allow even longer in poor conditions. I don't think you'd need to leave Linkin Park early though, you have at least an hour and 20 minutes to walk to transportation. I certainly wouldn't leave early in your shoes, knowing I can just walk to the airport if needs be (2 mile walk and another 30 - 45 min walk depending on your walking speed and conditions.) Maybe just don't linger too long for the toilet / food after Linkin Park have finished.  It will definitely make sense and all just fall into place on the night, don't worry too much and have a great time. The very worst that can happen is a little extra walking to the Airport Skylink bus stop, as those Skylink busses are 100% 24 hour. 🙂  GFS, ICON and ECMWF are ALL in agreement on the latest runs.... After a mildly moist Weds and Thurs, high Pressure building from Friday... Lets just hope they continue to agree... ☀️☀️☀️
