Headliners 2015

[dentalplan]

Taylor Swift doesn't cut it with the social groups full of older people over 50.

[Woffy]

Okay I was basing it on everyone I went to 'try' Metallica with feeling the same way as I did, and everyone I spoke to the next day feeling the same way, and everyone I spoke to when I got home feeling the same way having 'tried' the TV coverage, but if that was too sweeping then I apologise

What a blandly homogenous friendship group.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Now I like you Zac but that's bollocks of the highest order. A sweeping generalisation that takes in your point of view and assumes the majority of people have the same one.

As far as I'm aware, I've only heard the one Taylor Swift song. If it's an indication of the rest of her output, neither me nor any of the people I'm going to Glastonbury with this year would find any enjoyment in her accessible shite.

If you or I could be arsed trawling back through the threads on here, you will find a lot of comments from people who went along to Metallica out of curiosity and ended up enjoying their schtick.

Exactly. 2 of the people I went with were not really into them, went along and really enjoyed it.

Accessibilty depends on the angle you are coming at it from.

Shake it off (being one of the 3 tunes I know by her) isn't a very accessible song to me.

The Unforgiven (being one my mate knew) by Metallica for him was.

Bring back the moshing thread!

Fuck yes! I'm feeling nauseous with all these names being chucked around

[A Guy Called Matt]

Good morning all you happy loving festival goers.

See you in a field in June.

[LaurieReid]

Could I please make a polite request?

Can we keep the back-and-forth Taylor Swift is awesome / No she's not she's shit bitching on the Taylor Swift thread? I regularly look on this thread to see if there is news on either who is headlining, or who has been ruled out, but recently 99% of it seems to be TeamSwift vs TeamAntiSwift.

Clearly if she is booked (or ruled out) either as headliner or otherwise, it would be relevant to this thread, but until then, could the arguing over whether she is any good/ a deserving headliner/ a worthwhile human being (delete as appropriate) be kept to the thread with her name as its title?

Thankyou.

This is shit. Coming back in a few weeks when people are actually talking about realistic headliners.

[DomDom1984]

Thinking this isn't a realistic proposition.

Do some people just completely leave their brains behind before coming on this thread or something?

[willutalk]

I think Metallica and Taylor Swift are quite truly incomparable.

One of them sings along to various backing tracks

One of them shreds guitar string bare, beats drum skins bare.

One of them is 11 years into their career

One of them is 33 years into their career.

One of them is a thrash metal pioneering group.

One of them has joined the commercial pop tag

One of them has played in all seven continents

One of them hasn't

One of them has played to one-million people on the outskirts of Moscow

One of them hasn't

I think Metallica have been hard done by being compared to Taylor Swift.

After all people are much more likely to be fooled into liking a pretty girls music rather than 4 Middle aged men's music.

[DomDom1984]

Listing a whole bunch of completely irrelevant shite doesn't make it less likely either.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Can I second/third the request for the TS stuff to go to the TS thread so those who want to know about headliners do not have to sift through pages of ""she is great/no she is not"" posts.

We get it, some like her, some don't.

Enough already!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Here is a never to be forgotten Headliner moment...

Yes it is slightly off topic, but it might lighten the mood...

I so wish I could turn back the clock and be there but tickets evaded me that year.

Taylor Swift doesn't sing songs about playing Monopoly.

Make you think.

I feel the same when I see posts regarding the stones. Still haven't brought myself around to watching it yet!!!

Hey, let me try!

One of them has a name that begins with an 'M', the other has a name that begins with a 'T'

Did I do it right.

[Mardy]

Is this a puzzle? Is the answer Dusty Bin?

(one for the teenagers)

[dentalplan]

Needs to learn to shred before she can headline.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bare shreds, brah

[Winslow Leach]

It's only a matter of time before you have to be able to shred to get tickets.

[DomDom1984]

I've got a shredder in the house, does that count?

[Gucci Piggy]

Willutalk's anti-Taylor Swift points are so amazingly stupid they make me want to join #TeamSwift
