Trebor, good argument...

Still avoiding the question Neil. How did you know that's who Eavis was referring to? Band source, Festival source you'll be giving nothing away telling us where the info is from/

I can't say, because I would be giving stuff away.

If I say "festival source", there's limited people who would know and over time of me saying "festival source" Eavis would be able to identify who. If I say "band source" the same applies. You will not bait me via your poor reading to give anything away.

But you'd be surprised where i sometimes get my info. Before now it's been a conversation overheard in a bog - and which was one of the bigger bits of info I've had, and was spot on. The other day I had some that was over-heard in a public open space.

Usually when someone makes an outlandish statement the emphasis is on them to prove it's correct, not for a doubter to prove he is wrong.

I cant prove it, which is why I'm asking Neil HOW he knew

The proof of what I say as a certainty can be seen in official announcements that prove my statement correct year after year after year after year.

That is - logically - the only proof there can be.

Yesiamaduck, why are you answering for Neil? How do you know how his rumours come about

Neil, no one is asking for the name of a source. Just an idea why you thought those 3 bands are playing? I fully expect you to swerve this again btw

[marky3]

Going back to what was said on the first page of this thread.

Basically saying that if you "look at other music from 1985, this proves Prince is also shit". Ridiculous logic.

[Wooderson]

probably one of the inbred handjobs who tried to recruit people to their incestuous campsite the other year

Scruffylovemonster, I'm going to try and specify this one more time. I KNOW he never thought those 3 bands were playing. BUT he did think that's who Eavis was referring to. My question is WHY he thought he knew? Who told him?

mrtourette, 11,000 posts and that's your contribution? I've been missing out all these years...

[eFestivals]

It's my opinion that you imply you know more than you do.

You're welcome to that opinion, just as I'm welcome to the opinion I form of you from all this.

I just think it's a bit pathetic.

You're welcome. I'm glad I've made your day.

As are the insinuations that because my opinion is different that I must be from another forum, campsite or have some sort of grudge. I mean come on people, he posts endless rumours, never substantiates them and ends up wrong much more than he's right, why do you have so much faith in him?

you really are very poor understander of words, aren't you? To the extent that your own judgement of me could apply - because yes, your ability to understand even some quite simple things is quite pathetic.

Care to tell me the definition of a 'rumour'?

But this is new and not yet so tedious I am thinking of actually doing some work instead, which nearly happened earlier.

The Prince arguments were ok at first.

because I had information from a source or sources who I felt could be trusted that those bands had been loosely lined up.

FFS, what do you think I'd say? That I read it in tea leaves?

[russycarps]

question is WHY he thought he knew? Who told him?

[Yesiamaduck]

what difference would it make if he said who told him?

If neil starts blabbing his mouth off about his sources then those sources wont trust him in future.

Anonymity is the most important thing of all. How can you not understand that?

[mrtourette]

I think dominokid has just picked up on something he knows Neil will never reveal and is goigng to keep going on about it under the impression that it somehow damages Neil's credibility or something.

[mrtourette]

That's the rumor I've been hearing, I'm guessing it's true from what I've seen ^.^

[Yesiamaduck]

BUT WHERE DID YOU HEAR IT?

[Yesiamaduck]

And if he'd run with the other half of his post, he'd probably have drummed up more support.

[Wooderson]

Would love to see Neil attempt to convince Ste Gerrard of the morbid vulgarity behind his appreciation of Phil Collins.

[eFestivals]

Classic.

It is rather, isn't it?

Anyone might end up concluding his purpose is attack, rather than anything of his actual words.

I'm not sure I've got a punch combination to beat his.

As I said, music in the 80s was shit.

[dominofive]

Ok, fair enough.

You all seem happy to believe Neil's claim he has "sources".

You're all happy that sometimes these come to fruition and sometimes they don't, that some are right and some are wrong

You're happy that he keep his sources to himself (even when he overhears it in a bog)

You're happy to take Neil at face value despite absolutely no evidence but you want me to prove he's incorrect

The example I posted is far from the only example and was just that, an example. There have been loads more over the years

And to whoever used Arcade Fire as an example of Neil being right, well he wasn't and he didn't predict them as headliner. They confirmed themselves and up to that point Neil himself didn't think they would play. To "believe" him that they are playing because they are now a TBC ignores the fact they are TBC because they confirmed themselves

If you have enough guesses you're always going to be right some of the time
