mb23 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Would be gutted if Foos pull out, but at the same time it wouldn't be the same with Dave sat down- their live shows are all about his energy. Blur would be a good replacement, will be interesting to see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let's 'ave it!!! Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 2 weeks exactly til they're due to play, reckon they could be alright but surely if not the only solution will be to bump everyone up a slot and slide Gaslight Anthem in somewhere on the Pyramid as they're free on the Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followill Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I think one of the most truly fucking horrific (if true) was the lad from Muse walking off stage after headlining to find out his dad had died. Anyhoo... Yeah it was, truly awful stuff that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSideofthePillow Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 If Florence and her machines are promoted to headline I think I'll demand my money back... In all seriousness though, leg breaks can vary in seriousness, he could be standing in a cast on stage quite easily. Fingers crossed for Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormCrow Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Well I broke my leg a couple of days before Glastonbury 2011, doctor said it was just bruised so I went to Glastonbury with it untreated even though I was convinced it was broken. Bloody hurt when I got stuck in the mud and tried to pull my leg out though!!. Went to different doctor when I got back he sent me straight to hospital to get it plastered. Funny thing was the consultant even wrote in my notes it was painful when it was stuck in the mud at Glastonbury J So no reason he can’t bloody well stand on a stage 2 weeks after a break as far as I'm concerned. Personally I’m happy the first doctor misdiagnosed it as I probably wouldn’t have gone if I’d just been put into a plaster.

picicata Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Depends on the break really. If they do pull out though it will be just a case of every one getting bumped.. and it being exceedingly crowded at West Holts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swine_Glasto2014 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 If it's a serious break.ie Tibula or fib he would not be sat there playing a guitar. He would be close too passing out in agony, off his head on gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I hope it isn't broken and they don't pull out. As much as I love Dave, I hope it is broken and they do pull out. I need a headliner 10x better than the Foos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastoSimon Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Crikey. Poor bloke. Comes down to a couple of things I guess... If they've got really special guests lined up who won't be around next year or whatever, then it'll be hard not going ahead. If Grohl feels he can't put on a proper Foos show and it would partially ruin the experience of the fest, maybe they'd be better off doing it next year. At least from the Eavii's point of view they have some back-up in the form of Florence. Such a shame though, hope he recovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they really want to do glasto while not at 100%, can't imagine them being asked to headline again if they didn't go down well the first time regardless of injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 This. Would they really want to do glasto while not at 100%, can't imagine them being asked to headline again if they didn't go down well the first time regardless of injury well it took them 17 years since their last performance to be asked back so i don't think that's really an issue. they'll go down amazingly regardless of Dave's condition. sure that on stage energy he has won't be in full swing, but do you really think one guy sat/stood still instead of legging it about is gonna change the entire show? if anything it'll give the show a whole new level of impressiveness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
