Kanye West

[Wooderson]

Homme too laid back to care, but he calls the shots for all those guys.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

This is the thing he's a massive celebrity yes, and as such this all adds to that - but rockstar?

Grohl is owning that currently I believe. Compete with his Throne

Ps. Cheers ghandi, old skool

DG specifically markets himself as the antithesis to the typical rockstar cliche, I don't get you.

[Mash011]

Kanye has certainly been the biggest 'rockstar' for a while now, but of course that's far from being the best or most deserving of such a title. I reckon someone will overtake him in that regard pretty soon anyway, he's clearly losing his fire.

[Wooderson]

The greatest rockstar's in history have always been cool. Controversy can't be the sole characteristic on their CV. Kanye ain't cool folks, sozz.

[Wooderson]

Will fucking Smith is cooler. Haha

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Van McCann ain't cool, have you seen his 'hairstyle'?

[Purple aki squat]

He was absolute shit.

No ifs or buts.

That crane stole the show.

Nobody spoke about it on Sunday, enough said.

J-Ho gets fucked up in private with his desert pals. He could be 'the biggest rockstar' but he keeps it real and focuses on making music as much as possible with as many people as possible. Probably called quits on the rockstar lifestyle after getting charged for putting the guy from The Dwarves in hospital.

 

Jack White gets fucked up in private with his Nashville pals. He could be 'the biggest rockstar' but he keeps it real and focuses on making music as much as possible with as many people as possible. Probably called quits on the rockstar lifestyle after getting charged for putting the guy from The Von Bondies in hospital.

there are almost no boundaries left to be pushed. I can listen to music that's decades old where boundaries have been pushed much further. The Beach Boys pushed more boundaries than he's done 50 years ago. Alt-J are more unusual than him. Weather Report, Terry Riley, Wilco, Radiohead....

Alt-j are the most boring act I've had the misfortune to watch

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Wrong. The Sunday headliners made more than one reference to it, never mind anyone else.

[Revofev]

If I seen an act and didn't enjoy it I probably wouldn't post maybe once max so I just find it weird that posters (tonyblair,TheNal etc) keep coming back this thread to say how much they hated it and how shit it was. We get it lads move on maybe post on something you do like yeno a bit of positivity for a change.

I personally had a great time . I was close to the front, thought the lights were brilliant and the only song missing was hey mama. Easily the best headliner this year in my eyes

Same. I saw them in the FR tent at Leeds 2012 after all the hype. Left after 2 songs, it was unbearable. God knows where their popularity has stemmed from.

every thread needs to hear both sides of the argument. It'd be shit if we were all just sat here sucking kanye's plums wouldnt it?

 

the stuff about him being a rockstar is laughable though. As is the chat about dave grohl being one. 

 

Someone like nick cave has more rock n roll charisma than all these knobheads put together.

But you've heard the Nick Cave Chico pantomime story haven't you?

.

yep totally agree but im not going to be on here posting everyday about how great it was whereas some post (nearly) everyday about shit it was.

Re biggest rockstar I wouldn't classify him as a rockstar but i haven't seen anyone suggest who is the biggest rockstar except for grohl who is likeable but boring.

I hadnt but have just googled it....you rotten bastard. You've ruined everything.

[The Placid Casual]

Hahaha I just googled this. Thank you so much!

They were shite as well

[The Placid Casual]

They were shite as well

My biggest regret of the festival was seeing them.

 

Ah well.

That's brilliant.  Love him more for it.

Trance brand gatecrasher announced their festival in 2001 by projecting it on the houses of parliament.

 

Gail Porter's arse appeared on the side of the Houses of Parliament in 1999!
