The Chic Excitmenet Thread.

[4AssedMonkey]

I think the crowd will be OK. That Friday night has most of the best stuff on all weekend. The clashes are horrific so it will divide people.

BTW, I've had Get Lucky in my head ALL DAY. The Nile Rodgers influence burrows into my skull once more.....

[Thearg]

For us older schoolers Nile Rogers was a facking genius back in his day and remains one, his track record in terms of both own tunes and productions of others' in incredible.

I can't wait for this gig and will definitely be there. Chic (feat. Nile) were brilliant at WOMAD (in 2009 I think), and they'll be even better at West Holts with a much bigger crowd going much more mental.

[Slugworth]

Completely agree. Unless they all turn up as guests.....

[fatyeti24]

And why not? This is one of the biggest festivals in the world. Massive exposure. Drop the advert at Coachella, drop the actual track at Glasto... Potentially the single greatest thing to happen ever!

[Thearg]

i can picture it now.. Nile returns for the encore, starts playing the Get Lucky riff, two figures with strangely shaped heads silhouetted at the back of the stage start playing bass and drums...

[internetjef]

Possible they may play a stripped down live version of it?

Basically just let Nile showcase the guitar part for a crowd friendly dance along while the normal Chic supporting cast play/sing

Pharrell Williams referring to "Niles Rodgers" on that latest video. Clown.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Seems that the single's out on Friday.

I hope they don't play it tbh.

Does the West Holts FB page give us a hint?

[Big Vern]

it's hinted at a non announced replacement act that is creating a lot of excitement and has today posted a photo of Nile Rogers and Daft Punk together. Obviously everybody is running off screaming DP are playing, but if anything maybe we'll get the new single performed, however you'd think DP would be a secret guest and just come on if they were going to do it?

[BlackHole2006]

They've also put a picture of Nile Rodgers and Bowie in one face, so it probably doesn't mean anything.

[Trebor]

They're just showing how many people he's collaborated with

[rexclark]

OMG, Bowie is playing with Chic? Is he a robot too?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm way more excited about Ice T.

[jeffie]

He plays all sorts of stuff that he's produced, Madonna, Duran Duran etc..

[Trebor]

Round and round we go...

Your saying this is one of 2 David Bowie guest slots confirmed this year?

She's up all night to the sun.

I'm up all night to get some.

She's up all night to have fun.

I'm up all night to get lucky.

That's fucking poetry right there folks.

[eoinca]

I think instead of using his own singers, he should just get all of the original artists to perform as guests.

Diana Ross, Madonna, David Bowie, Sister Sledge, Daft Punk, Sheila B Devotion etc.

And the resurrected corpse of Bernard Edwards on bass.

Anything less and I'll be leaving site on the Friday in protest.
