Can't even imagine this place in 2005. Was it an IRC chat room?

Not much different to how it is now really, apart from most regulars on here now weren't on here back then, and vice versa for the regulars back then. And there was the legendary Olivavu as well. I'd be interested to read his views on this year's line-up, to say the least!

Played three songs off it when I saw them the other week, which is very generous on their part as they only usually seem to play one (in a setlist normally comprised of about 22-25 songs)

Yeah I follow the MSP thread in the Glasto section, sounds like it was a good setlist for you fans!

Why not Couchy?

Also, Richey Edwards era Manics were great. They're a national treasure

I recently got The Holy Bible which I really like, but haven't listened to anything else, and I hear most of it is dirge.

You haven't heard any other Manics in your 14 years of being alive? What is that about?

THB was my first album of theirs but that was about 10 years ago Generation terrorists is a great one. Basically anything before Rewind the film I think is truly great stuff. Futurology, from what I heard live, doesn't sound too promising though

[dentalplan]

You think Rewind the Film is where they went downhill? Yikes.

This is my truth for me, though Everything Must Go wasn't completely amazing. Their first 3 albums were brilliant

[dentalplan]

I thought they were pretty good even with the shift in direction. Know Your Enemy was where it seemed like they ran out of ideas, to me anyway. I think the last three have been okay though.

Well I loved everything George and including Podtcards from a young man. However, I do agree Know Your Enemy wasn't a great album, easily the one before Postcards that I like the least amount of songs from

THB is definitely their best, one of the greatest albums ever. But they still have some amazing other albums.

The Holy Bible

Generation Terrorists

Gold Against The Soul

Everything Must Go

Send Away The Tigers

Journal For Plague Lovers

Rewind The Film

This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours

Postcards From A Young Man

Know Your Enemy

Lifeblood

My order of preference, from best to worst. Proceed listening to the bottom four with caution.

How you have Postcards... under Rewind The Film baffles me VCK

Without knowingly listening. I'm sure I'll have heard some MSP at some point in my life.

Postcards was alright, some good songs on there but overall I found it to be one of their weaker albums. It just sounded like typical Everything Must Go-lite Manics-by-numbers. Whereas Rewind The Film for me was a really interesting album to listen to, it sounded more ambitious and experimental.

That said, It's Not War... was the best single they'd done in years.

Just realised I'm not 14.

[Babyquack]

IOW wouldn't have that good a lineup Will + your optimism for Tool is admirable

[the wonderwhy]

Why not? They're usually good with headliners, and often get bands who are playing big outdoor shows elsewhere, which is probably something Muse/Foos would do if they're active next year

[dentalplan]

Do Tool still not do screens for their festival shows?

It'd be interesting to see if RATM are in the mix next year; would be clearer if LA Rising was going ahead but I don't reckon that looks likely. Stone Roses might be in the mix for festivals if their 2015 album comes out. I'd also say if there's a reunion then it'll be Led Zeppelin and if there is a year that they play Glastonbury, it'll be next year - not convinced it'd happen but if there was a year is all I'm saying.
