The Rolling Stones vs Public Enemy

[russycarps]

I'm arsed if I'm going to be shouted at for 90 minutes by some berk with a clock hanging around his neck.

[The Nal]

you should put that on a flag

[russycarps]

And actually go to the gig?

[The Nal]

I havent thought this through

[windy_miller]

I'm not sure if I have room to carry another flag. The "I Love Sausage" flag takes up a lot of room as you know, as does my 12 man tent and my gazebo. Not to mention all the rope I have to cordon off my area of the camp site and my specially designed protective suitcase for my iPad.

[The Nal]

Are you not bringing the pigeon on a stick and your wolves flag this year?

[Vieuphoria]

I saw them in November (ish?) last year, and they were fantastic. Real feel-good,, fun and energetic. Was a great way to round off my gig-going year

[TheSeventhOne]

I think I'm going to go and watch Fuck Buttons now after the middling to negative reports of PE's live show on here, provided they don't clash with The Family Stone.

[glasto virgin]

is this a joke question are you for real the stones are one of if not the biggest band of all time nothing against pe loved them when i was younger but cmon ive seen them live and its just noise and a poor atmosphere the stones will bring the house down stones every time for me x

[jonny2mad]

Ive been going to glastonbury for years working it for 13 years and i always said meh "Im not bothered whats playing now if the rolling stones were playing I'd see them and be excited",

I fully intend watching them from the front of the stage the entire set .

The stones even as old blokes are great performers, in the 1960s it was a battle between them and the beatles who was the better band, as for watching them or public enemy very likely public enemy might choose them,

if you could bring back jimi hendrix or jim morrison from the dead or had the complete beatles playing somewhere maybe I'd be tempted otherwise no question I'd watch the rolling stones.

I'm planning to do a bit of all 3 of Stones, Chase and Status and Public Enemy. Then if the rumours are true a bit of Skrillex!

Only really interested in seeing Paint it Black performed live and their recent set lists show that they play it early in the set, happy days!

I would say go and see the Rolling Stones, because this will likely be your first and last chance of seeing them!

It will be history seeing the Stones perform on the Pyramid Stage!

They are both pretty good live and it's the atmosphere that will make this special!

[VCK]

I'm not going to Glastonbury this year, but if I was, despite having an interest in seeing The Rolling Stones, it would have to be Public Enemy. Arguably the most important Hip-Hop group of all time barring perhaps N.W.A., and they have a whole barrage of classic songs to aim at the crowd. Fight The Power, Don't Believe The Hype, Bring The Noise, Rebel Without A Pause, Harder Than You Think, He Got Game, the list is endless. I agree that Flava Flav can be annoying but come on, there are fewer figures in music that are cooler than Chuck D. The man is a legend.

Speaking of N.W.A., 2014 headliners? I wish.

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go

Neither one of us knew why

We didn't build nothing overnight

Cuz a love like this takes some time

People swore it off as a phase

Said we can’t see that

Now from top to bottom

They see that we did that (yes)

It’s so true that (yes)

We’ve been through it (yes)

We got real shit (yes)

See baby we been...

[Justiceforcedave]

I wonder who would win in an actual fight?

Well given that Eazy E has been dead donkeys years, it wouldnt be the same anyway.

[monkey1989]

Did you see flavor flav with public enemy at bestival basically during the set flogging his new book 'if you want to know more about that then you can read about it my new book ! " eww

[wiggle]

I do love PE, but after seeing Flavor of Love - a reality dating show with Flava I lost a lot of respect for him.

Still prefer PE to Old Stones

[4AssedMonkey]

I think Vintage Trouble at Avalon is the place to be Saturday night. Whilst I love PE from back in the day the live shows I've seen footage of were lacking something. Stones? Meh.

[grumpyhack]

I feel very sorry for any band up against The Stones. They'll probably pull the biggest ever Pyramid crowd, despite people saying now that they'll go for alternatives. On the night I guess "This will probably be our last/only chance" will win over the other temptations.

[chris_top_her]

Stones is gonna be a nightmare though, will be way too many people, think I'll be at pe
