Eminem

[Com Truise]

Yup. Plus, they all make sense. Theres no Paramore>The Cure or The Prodigy>Arctics which don't really flow. They all do this year.

Might give Eminem a chance as a friend is coming for the day to see him & its not been doom & gloom reading this thread

Saw him last night in Glasgow. Cracking set but very short at around 80mins. I can see that being the main criticism of his set this weekend.

If he doesn't pull a Beyonce, and comes on stage on time/doesn't leave early, then he's got 100 mins, which is long enough I reckon

[GazzaScotland]

Aye, he had plenty of time to play longer if he wanted. Was on stage pretty much 9pm on the dot and finished about 10.15ish.

Disgustingly short set for the price really, good job the support acts were all top notch to make it worth the money. Eminem was really good, just not long enough.

Did he cut songs really short Gazza?

Yep, most songs were just couple of verses and chorus. Think only about few songs were played in full. Picture here shows the breakdown: http://i.imgur.com/Ui7jmEh.jpg

His set is usually about 1 hr 25/ 1 hr 30 but he cut the 2 bad meets evil covers in Glasgow, Royce da 5 9 probably couldnt make it so that made it seem a lot shorter

[Justiceforcedave]

could be a good sign with the new booker, he's definitely done something right, selling out 4/6 days, and Reading weekend tix

Really enjoyed Eminem. Annoyed he was 15 minutes late but his set made up for it. Not been a fan of Recovery or Relapse but glad to see he played a lot of old stuff. The whole 1 verse/1 chorus thing I complained about really worked well. Dido coming out was awesome.

I'm sure others will moan about miming. He was just rapping over a backing track really, I'm okay with that. He got more into it as the night got on it seems.

Pretty sure he didn't mime at Leeds either, he just had a hype man to finish off his lines which he doesn't have breathe for (like most rappers have live)

There WAS a backing track but he rapped over it. A few times he stopped and you could hear it.

He 100% did Stan on his own though, without a backing track.

It was really noticeable on one of the older songs where he had a bit of a higher pitched, nasal style, I knew then that it wasn't just the hype man.

He wasn't "miming" though, he was legitimately rapping over the backing track. Fine by me. As said, Stan was all him.

[dip]

There was the hype man, there was also a backing vocalist

[Buko]

He was rapping to a vocal track for the most part it was a lot more noticeable at the beginning, as his mic was really low in the mix until he played Stan, which he did on his own and made it blatantly obvious he had been using a vocal track before, all though after that point you could hear him over the track and not the other the way round and he seem to use it less & less as the set went on. Still very enjoyable however.
