ZZ Top

[Gnomicide]

My two brothers-in-law.

Twenty five to go.

Loved every minute of that set.

Brilliant wasn't it? Loved their stroll through the crowd with the drums.

[billum]

So that's 3 of us. I wonder who the other 27 people in the tent were?

27 very happy-they-made-the-right-choice people!

Yeah, and the bit where the lead guitarist and bassist exchanged guitars mid-song by throwing their guitars at each other, never missing a beat.... Praying for a return from these inspired boogie-merchants

Count me in Gnome. Was on the barrier - though that wasn't hard. One of the highlights of the weekend. And the drum March thru the crowd. Edited November 19, 2014 by Ted Dansons Wig

Sounds like it was an impromptu, anonymous efests meet

I did see a guy carrying a dwarf goat and wondered if it was Scruffylovemonster

Playing Cork on the 22nd June. Em Eavis has no excuses.

Feck. Another year goes by....

We know that the headliners, on the Pyramid, get a fraction of what they might get at other festivals. I wonder what the comparison would be for someone like ZZ Top, who are headliner status at some festivals, compared to maybe topping the West Holts stage? Financially, I'd imagine it's a no-brainer.

Seems the Pyramid headliners get paid 25% of where they would elsewhere so ZZ Top would probably lose, what, 85-90%? A free gig in their minds basically.

The power of the Beeb is obviously not being sold to bands as much as it should.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

3 of them were me and 2 mates who also would rather see some old school rock n roll instead of being way down the back for a country artist we only knew the `hits` for......one of the great things about glasto discovering new music, all stars were awesome!

picture during the set http://tinypic.com/r/11h5vdt/8can any efesters see themselvers?

That's me with the cheapo Glastonbury Stetson at the front

Not sure if it's been said before but ZZ Top are playing Cork the Monday before the festival. What's the chances they'd come to sommerset the following week?

The Top not playing Glasters but playing every cowshed in the vicinity is heartbreaking.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Okay..

If efests actually does have a slight influence on who's booked, can we have these next year please?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Billy Gibbons:

"Form a supergroup with Weezer called Wee-Z Top? Sure thang, man."

"Play Glasto? NO CHANCE, BOY"

[dentalplan]

Palling up with Weezer is nowhere near as heinous as hanging around with Kid Rock and lending his voice to Nickelback's Rock Star.

[Wooderson]

Billy G is a nutbar.

Nickelback........... sorry.  That band is so wrong. Seems like they are the result of a mentally ill IT geek that listened to saddo 'rock'that came up with an alogrythm that could reproduce an average sound of all the shoite rock bands.

 

  Saddest band from Sad Town in Saddestrockband County.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Don't get too complacent. The singer guy broke his leg this year, but they'll probably be back in 2016.

thank you Heineken Music Hall for that!!! seems pretty valid leak...well found by you!

i was looking at their dates this past weekend in fact, looking for patterns as for which day, etc... it seems like they do have a few 3 days-in-a-row slots fit in, so that doesn't rule out sunday, but that would be 6 gigs over 7 days, so my money is on saturday, only being that a night gig in Birmingham thursday vs a possible 5pm slot friday being too much of a turnaround for them...

surely it's Adele/PJ Harvey/ZZ Top on the pyramid saturday...can u imagine?

[Wooderson]

Im seriously considering going on an immediate bender.
