Mash011 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 That was absolute shit. I love his albums but it says just a piss poor performance. And I was right at the front of the crowd and I'm pretty sure most of us felt the same. He was my most anticipated act so I'm very let down. Good thing the rest of the weekend has been amazing.

kingcrawler Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 My only disappointment is that Justin Vernon's here and isn't doing a Bon Iver set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Holland Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Dave Grohl was bang on. It was either going to go one way or the other. And it appears the masses have spoken and agree it was utter shite. Long needless pauses, Auto-tune garbage, lack of live music, restarting tracks, cutting others short, embarrassing cherry picker gimmick, ruined a Queen classic & Serious lack of special guests. Worst headliner I have ever seen. Even worse than Gorrilaz (which I walked away from in 2010) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight definitely was the worst pyramid headline show that I've witnessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight definitely was the worst pyramid headline show that I've witnessed. Visually it was great. However it just didn't get going enough for me. It was boring and not worthy of headline set (even as a late replacement) However that tonight was new levels of bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I loved Gorillaz in 2010 thought it was great when I was there loved the show and the guests and the band were practically music royalty. but I recently watched the whole set again and it does seem my memory forgot a lot of the longer album tracks and orchestral numbers. Tonight however if you take away the light show and cherry picker it was like watching a former chart star go through the motions on stage at a cheap student union night. Complaining at the do for starting tracks at the wrong point and messing around with a sampler to seem edgy like a Tim Westwood dj set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 That was fantastic, literally one of the best headliners I've ever seen, crowd around me was singing so loud! Especially when he dangled above us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwaves Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) My son, who didn't come this year - work - decidedto give him at least a try out and watch him on the tele . He described him as boring shouty autotune...... But the best was that my son had the subtitles on the tele. He posted a photo to FB showing that the beeb gave up on that and just captioned "he raps". I did Spiritualised and Arcadia and had a thoroughly good time Edited June 28, 2015 by airwaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseboy11 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I quite enjoyed it, the crowd around me absolutely loved it as well. I did think it seemed terribly rehearsed though, kept starting and stopping songs and missing queues. At one point for Hold My Liquor he lost track and just let the song run till the end then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hold My Liquor was a fucking shambles even by the standards of that set. Great track, embarrassing performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Dweller Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Seen some utter tripe wrote online especially by the American music media. A few suggesting the Glastonbury crowd will never truely welcome black artists on the pyramid. Two best sets this weekend Lionel and Pharrell, the pyramid lapped them up. Poor journalism, Kanye bombed because he let his ego cloud judgement when picking his set list / order. Unlike Jay Z he failed to research the festival and what it is about.

muddychick Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 From watching it on TV I would say that Pharrel would have made a better headliner than Kanye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Vern Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 my guess is that the overpowering feeling reported in the media was that the glastonbury punters dont give a fuck about him so he delivered a couldnt give a fuck performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 thought i'd post this in here before the 2016 New Music thread becomes all Kanye couples of days late, but Kanye and Kendrick's No More Parties In LA has dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 if Real Friends and this are anything to go by then it sounds like the new album is going back to a really old school hip hop production sound, which i'm more than happy with. nice to sound Kanye actually rapping again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Man we've actually reached the point where he's put out a 6 minute track with Kendrick Lamar on and it's not even good. How did he manage to go from amazing to shit so quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the whole 'old school hip hop' thing appeals to you, but I much preferred the Kanye who would look to craft new and exciting sounds rather than turning over tracks like this that are totally devoid of anything notable or interesting.
