[Paul ™]

I thought Suede were good

[coma girl]

Someone else is hogging the tv just now so taping Jools to watch later, sounds like a good line up tonight.

Advantage of taping it is that I can forward through any of Jools Holland's dull patter.

Cat Power looks like she's checking her pockets for her keys.

Brett Anderson does not have a good live voice but really liking The Strypes.

Hoi, we're in Lossie, get it right

Ok pedant, Sky+ing it

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

The Strypes have certainly watched too many of the Jam's videos on youtube.

I thought Suede were excellent, I think every now and again Anderson does miss a note but for the most part he's still excellent.

[4AssedMonkey]

Cat Power & Laura Mvula = not impressed.

The Strypes & John Fullbright = great. Presence, energy, enthusiasm and & talent.

The rest (inc.Suede) = Meh.

Suede's new material isn't great and the 2 guitarists they have now combined aren't a patch on Bernard Butler. It's never going to be anywhere near without him.

[Witty username here]

another bloody series but got 3 bands that are playing glasto...

4 bands. Charles Bradley is playing too.

Shushhh

[hedgepeg]

a few observations - Holland's piano face is stupid

the strypes - look 14 complete with spots (this is annoying because it makes me feel old, possibly because i am)

james brown impersonator needs to get a size up in his clothes

suede don't have bernard butler in( this is bad)

solo bloke with guitar was pants

i don't understand sleeveless double breasted waistcoats.

Charles Bradley - OK

Suede - Past their time

Solo bloke - Boring

Strypes - Teenagers but pretty good

oh and I got an email from the BBC and I've bagged tickets to the show on the 23rd April.....hoping for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[SOAD]

Next week should be good... Haim, Everything Everything and Primal Scream... definately gonna watch that.

[PurpleFire]

Haim will be loverly...they are making themselves onto bbc radio now and there sound is summery!

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Ive tried and tried and tried to like Charles Bradley. Love blues/ old soul. Got his last two albums. The guy looks great - weathered James Brown face, natty suit etc. But the music still just doesnt quite cut it. Same last night

[CaledonianGonzo]

The World Is Going Up In Flames is a stoater of a track.

Doubt I'll see him at Glasters, though. Think he's clashed out.

[GlastoSimon]

Next week, Primal Scream, Haim and Everything Everything are representing Glastonbury on Jools I believe

He sure is - going to be a toughie with Family Stone just after.

Make up with it with JJ Grey & Mofro tho

Having been at Ally Pally i couldn't disagree with you more, personally thought he sounded great on Jools, not as good as ally pally but bands never are as good on TV as they are at gigs.

Suede's new material isn't great and the 2 guitarists they have now combined aren't a patch on Bernard Butler. It's never going to be anywhere near without him.

The 2 guitarist combo, you mean the combo thats been part of Suede since 1996.

Richard Oakes wrote some of suede's best songs with Brett. Bernard was only there for the 1st two albums.

Trash, Filmstar, Beautiful Ones, Saturday Night, Electricity, Can't get Enough, She's in Fashion and obsessions were all written by Oakes and Brett

Don't get me wrong Bernard is an awesome guitarist and I love the first two suede albums, but he hasn't been in Suede for nearly 20 years now, he wasn't in suede when they were at their commercial peak of 'Coming Up' and wasn't in the band when they wrote some of their best known songs.

Fan boy knowledge coming out here but surely you're trolling, didn't know when bernard left the band or are just stupid...

Also Charles Bradley was great another one to see at Glasto

[GuitarManDan15]

Also why is Charles Bradley on silver hayes sandwiched between Sub Focus and SBTRKT.

He couldn't look anymore out of place, surely thats a mistake or someone has not listened to him before!

Of those suede songs you mentioned, I don't like any of them. I don't really like their more 'poppy' sound. Maybe like me he just doesn't like post-Bernard version of Suede? They miss his guitar work to me.

None of those songs would fit on Dog Man Star for example - not that they should, it's good to change. I just didn't like what came after. It seemed too obvious - almost like Brett said let's get a bit more mainstream success by writing some 'hits'. I gave up on them a long time ago and to be honest with so many other bands out there, I've no inclination to hear any of their new stuff.

Doesn't mean he's a troll or stupid because he has a different opinion. Nobody is 'right' on this.

[formed a band]

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't suggesting they're that similar to listeners like you and I...... But to Mr Eavis? All he hears is Roskilde. I wish he could look past it but I really get the impression that he's (slightly understandably) terrified of the same happening on his lovely farm!

Eavis,pisses his pant over roskilde which was a total one off

[GlastoSimon]

The songs on are definitely based upon the Coming Up era for me. Big choruses, very much 'pop' songs. Some of the stuff from Dog Man Star resembles this as well, We Are The Pigs, New Generation etc. However there is something about Dog Man Star which is pretty unique, some real moments of genius on that album.

In truth, when I heard Suede were going to 're-create' their sound I was expecting the worst. There's some pretty decent pop songs on the new album, and I don't think being able to write songs like that 20 years later should be underestimated!
