The thing with Bowie is that he's a more prickly, less user-friendly prospect than his legend-status suggests. If he ever decides to play live again it's not a certainty that he'll do it in populist greatest hits mode.

in 2007 yes. Now it's sadly too late I'd say.

I mean of course it would be incredible, but it wouldnt be pink floyd.

[The Nal]

If Gilmour's shambolic appearance at Rog's Wall show at the O2 is anything to go by it would not be incredible. It would be shit.

I'm a massive Floyd fan, never got to see them live but I have no interest in seeing them without Rick Wright. the most likely I can see is Rog doing The Wall on the Pyramid with some guest appearances.

[eoinca]

Yeah, without Rick, the Floyd gig wouldn't be quite up there, but it would still be amazing to get the remaining three together.

Can't see it happening though, I think that dream died with Rick.

Dunno if Waters doing the Wall would be glasto headline material either, its an incredible show, but even as a pink floyd fan I don't think its their best work and your average music fan would want to hear the more well known stuff from the other albums as well.

so....without trawling through 41 pages....are the Elbow/Fleetwood Mac/Depeche Mode predictions now not so certain....?

Personally I'd be happy if Bowie rocked up and did a 'Next Day' heavy set as I love that album. Throw in a few hits and it'd still be ace. It would probably disappoint most people though and the album will be old news by next summer anyway.

If only he would announce some dates.

[parsonjack]

Personally I'd be very happy if the Pyramid headliners only included one act I'd like to see. For instance I'd only really like to see Fleetwood Mac from the 3 rumoured acts....I've seen Elbow only 2 festivals ago...and I have no interest in seeing Depeche Mode. More time to take in headliners on Other Stage or West Holts therefore...and one night would certainly be spent getting into Shangri-La early to avoid the queuing.

It might be my age but I can not believe any parent of a young girl (or boy for that matter) would be happy with their daughter listening to and being influenced by such a horrible yolk.

She was a victim of domestic violence yet got her lawyer to get a judge to get rid of the barring order that was imposed on the bloke that was convicted of it so as they could work together. Not exactly sending out the right message to her young followers on that one IMO. A year after being beaten to a pulp she released her tune S&M (just listen to some of the lyrics) and I could not help think she was trying to cash in on her controversial story, and last year she started going back out with the guy who kicked the shit out of her........

Im not usually one for thinking "will someone think of the children!" but in her case I believe the twisted warped messages she sends out are very disturbing........hey but I may just be an ol fogey who thinks domestic violence is not cool and Im just not down with the kidzzzzzzz........

Rihanna is a despicable role model.

Best post I've seen in a long time. Rihanna is a despicable role model.

Celebrities dont hold themselves up as role models, the media does.

[ThomThomDrum]

I agree, I don't think it's relevant. It's a bit of a shocking double standard actually. The Stones are about as far from role models as you can get but no one expected them to be.

Without wanting to trawl through every page (yet) have Pearl Jam been mentioned?

I can really see them doing a Saturday night Pyramid Stage! Doing Lollapalooza and a few others this year.....Plus they're making a big "announcement" this evening! New album?

[ThomThomDrum]

also, she's the victim here. She shouldnt be getting grief over how she's chosen to deal with such a horrible thing as domestic violence. If it is the case that she chose to face it head on, laugh at it and cash in on it, then good on her I say

[Zoo Music Girl]

Considering its mainly me bladdering on about Rhianna I dont think thats fair to be honest, as I dont actually personally know too much about the Stones dark history other than they were basically a bunch of junkies and liked to fuck themselves over...........oh and they have some good tunes. Thats not anything I object to.

Your wans past has been all over the media in recent years and I do find myself objecting to her.........thats just the way it goes for me personally.

[dentalplan]

I don't take much of an issue with it but I think the difference is the social media and that Twitter has made it possible for her to have millions of followers hanging on her every word. Keith never had that, back then they were just stories. It's still rockstar behaviour all the same but the way someone like Rihanna can directly upload pictures of her doing drugs or using racial terms or whatever has more of an effect doesn't it?
