Autoinflate in "does not compute" response to suggestion that someone on the internet doesn't like a band that s/he likes.

it's nothing to do with what I like, it's a discussion about what is a good headline choice for glastonbury

You're a slavering idiot. I'm done with you and your idiocy, as I'm genuinely losing IQ points just reading your posts.

yeah well if resorting to insults is all you have left, fair play...

[Bluearsedfly]

I liked them when they went all makeup for thier LOAD period......

[home to you]

I saw At The Drive In at Reading 2012 instead of Kasabian so I'm not sure what kind of crowd they got but the tent for ATDI was pretty empty....

Same, and yeah it was ridiculously empty. I assumed Kasabian must've got a big crowd. Can't remember who else was on at the time though

That doesn't surprise me given the average of people at Reading/Leeds and the middling reviews their reunion shows got.

Katy Perry would be a stunning pyramid headliner. McBusted... probably not. Although they'd probably win folk over in the end.

katy perry!

This is a new low, even for this forum. Staggering stuff.

[DomDom1984]

You going to answer the question of why she'd be a bad headliner then?

[Gnomicide]

You're right of course but I'm not moaning as I'm trying to take the moral high ground here!

[russycarps]

because she cant sing and her songs are utterly abysmal I guess.

Someone like PJ Harvey would be a much better choice if you want a solo female headliner.

[DomDom1984]

PJ Harvey as a headliner.

Nothing against the woman's music, but she'd be lucky to sub headline, let alone headline. And "she can't sing" and "abysmal"... well, the first one of those is false and the second is subjective.

So basically you're three for three in not answering anything.

You are championing someone who is the worst of the worst. It's frothy chart music for kids at it's most basic.

It is beyond my comprehension how an adult of 30 (if that is your date of birth, I truly hope it is not) can listen to such trash and worse! actually consider it a possibility as a glastonbury headliner!

Absolutely breathtaking.

Ke$ha on the other hand... now SHE knows how to put on a show.

I've no interest in seeing her live, but the likes of Roar and Hot'n'Cold are effervescent pop classics.

[DomDom1984]

So it's basically "I don't like it so it's not worthy" stuff then. Fair enough.

[TheSeventhOne]

No one actually enjoys PJ Harvey though do they? It's just neutered Mercury Prize music for bores who want to seem a bit edgy when they're sat on the tube listening to her ungodly warble loud enough for everyone else to hear.

Y'see, we can all generalise.

[autoinflate]

katy perry is a manufactured chewing gum pop artist and is obviously unsuitable for probably the most prestigious gig in contemporary music.

should she go on to have a sustained glittering career, re-invent herself through the years, establish credibility through collaborations, songwriting, musicianship etc then maybe.

until then, fuck no.

[smogo]

You mean like Metallica have?

Have you heard her early material?

[DomDom1984]

I think you may be missing the point TheSeventhOne was making there.

It's glastonbury, whether Metallica or Katy Perry are headlining there's plenty more to see and do.

A glasto headliner is about as varied as they come. I haven't seen a festival put Metallica, Beyonce, The Rolling Stones in the space of three festivals before.

It's all about who's a headline act - who's someone people know, puts on a good show, and would be great at glastonbury. You need at least one of those things to be a headliner in my opinion...

Katy Perry wouldn't be the best headliner, but she's a headliner if it ever happens. It probably won't ever happen due to the eavis's tastes, but she is a headliner whether she is booked or not.

too niche, glastonbury not metallic

[smogo]

HEAD, meet BRICK WALL.

[mattgimmeshelter]

in my opinion Arcade Fire are more niche than metallica, I know more people that can name metallica songs than Arcade Fire songs

I don't think niche stops a headliner though...

[russycarps]

I dont think you understand what niche means.
