Spindles Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Well no, actually, you're wrong. Rage only played 4th down on that day because they fancied Kelly Jones. Why would they play below someone if they didn't want to suck them off? It's quoted in the Rage lyrics, so it must have had quite an impact on Zac: Anger on the streets, burning up the city, Damn that Kelly Jones mouth is pretty. He once sucked me off at Reading. I'm just generally angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_C Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's possible IMO but they'd be the 'penultimate act' Aye I agree with that. Not sure on where they would stand with the fee they would get though. Would give the festival a strong finish if they were subbing Blur.

Keithy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) What even is Keithy's point now? He originally said Noel won't sub Blur because he wished AIDS on them, which is fair enough yes that is exactly what I said. Well done. My point is that there's not a hope in hell that Noel will sub Blur. The man's ego won't allow it. He'd want to headline Glastonbury. The idea he might phone up and say " I'm happy to play anywhere" is frankly glastonbury romanticism of the highest order! If that was the case, why's he not played solo before? Aside from the fact that Noel subbing Blur would be a depressingly unimaginative booking from Eavis. They've already got Dad Rock with the Foo's. The counter argument seems to be 'Damon and Noel get on', 'the played a song together once' and the NME story where they'd discussed a collaboration 'more than once' and the publicity would be good. It's just wishful fan thinking that it'll happen. Edited April 25, 2015 by Keithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 How many hits does Kanye have that DO NOT feature another artist ? About half of them do but I guess that is partly because lots of them have singers doing the chorus because he can't really sing (though unfortunately he has been doing so more and more)... But they are still his songs on his albums (except Run This Town that I listed, which is Jay-Z's so fair enough there). Hadn't realised how many Kanye songs have 'guests'. How does this translate into a live performance? Do they just play the guest vocals off tape or backing singers cover it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 The sooner he is completely wiped from the rumour mill the better, he can't be far off it, it's not going to be macca I personally don't think it's him either but obviously there isn't going to be that many US tour date's announced as he has Roskilde to get back for early July, but as he's not playing until the 4th July, flying in by the 1st, even the 2nd would be fine.

If that was the case, why's he not played solo before? How is Noel these days? You must know him pretty well to be able to gauge his reaction to such a proposal.

brettredmayne Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Noel isn't stupid and the press of him and Damon possibly on stage together will be just as much as him headlining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Oasis wouldn't sub to Blur (and vice versa most likely) but we're not talking about Oasis here. Noel will be aware that the HFB are a different proposition and I think for that reason he would be prepared to go on before them. He does have an ego and I'd imagine he'd be pushing for both acts to be announced together as opposed to Bluer being held back for the 'big' announcement. That way it can kinda be spun as the co-headliner thing when in truth he'd be subbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they just play the guest vocals off tape or backing singers cover it? For most songs it is played off tape (like the video here) but for a couple he will probably get the guest singer to come along, especially as its Glastonbury. Just depends how much he wants the limelight to be shared with someone like Rihanna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheParkAfterDark Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) There are still around 30 days until the 3rd headliner is apparently due to be revealed. Given this thread is already at 1718 pages (I think) the guesses of it reaching 2000 by the time it's announced now seem a little low! ☺ Edited April 25, 2015 by TheParkAfterDark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He subbed T the other year under Stone Roses, and seems to be a regular punter at Glasto, so why wouldn't he sub? Obv that might be wrong and he's had another album out since then, but I just don't see how you can be like 'oh he definitely wouldn't sub' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obv that might be wrong and he's had another album out since then, but I just don't see how you can be like 'oh he definitely wouldn't sub' I think given he's headlining everywhere else in the UK he'd want to be billed as a headliner but I don't think there would be a big problem if he was to play before Blur but still be classed as more than a sub. The main point I don't get is Keithy's "why's he not played solo before" one given he was only touring in 2012 with his first High Flying Birds album.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Have we all (including it seems Neil) forgotten Neil's speculation that Noel caused ME ill-health in '08 so isn't exactly their favourite person on earth Edited April 25, 2015 by Zac Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefLeppard Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 If Chris Martin helped book him then maybe a duet for homecoming? That would be nice. Or Adam Levine for 'Heard Em Say' and Maroon 5 being the Sunday sub. Not holding out much hope for that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImGonnaLive4eva Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I love the fact that nobody really has the slightest idea who it is. Has it ever been this exciting before?!

It's just wishful fan thinking that it'll happen. My brother said that noel was quoted as saying he'd only sub someone absolutely legendary in his eyes at this point in his career now, that's not blur. He cut one of his sets short earlier this year to go see prince at koko, He'd sub for prince. His words at that gig was "I'm not doing an encore because I'm off to see the purple genius, nobody can argue with the purple one". My brother is clutching at straws at this point as apparently kanye was signed to play backstage at his koko gig, so my brother thinks so were prince and noel and that's it's being kept under wraps. He's going to be so disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
