Adele/Muse/Coldplay say DM

[Mardy]

Hahaha, that tom waits/adele thing is such a load of cobblers. Why not bring Dr Hook into it too.

[The Nal]

Waits ripped off Old Man River so. The w*nker!

[efcfanwirral]

apparently some Tom Waits fans think that the story behind her song Hello is too similar to the Story in Martha

I can kind of see the point they are making but it's really not enough to kick off about

the STORY? I thought it'd be that the song sounds like it or something. Best get the lawsuits ready for more than 50% of all songs ever written then...

[ghostdancer1]

the radio this morning said it was the melody and played the two. vaguely similar, but i'm sure there are thousands of songs that sound vaguely similar to them too. certainly nothing you could say "oh yeah, that sounds exactly alike", from what I heard anyway.

she's definitely ripping off Lionel Richie with her first line

Yeah theres a piano in both songs. Can she not create her own instrument as opposed to using whats been done before? She makes me fucking sick.

No shes ripping off Pink Floyd. "Hello, is there anybody in there".

Or is it The Doors? "Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name".

Either way she should be sued.

didn't bother posting this a couple of months ago as i got shot down when i told people some bands that were playing 2015 (i was right with those btw ) But Muse have been booked for Friday night. 1000%, stick your house on it! The logistics are already being planned....

thanks for the info, but your previous post deserved to be shot down as it wasn't fully accurate (I've just searched back to check).

What was the previous info given?

 

Also NICKS, if you're 1000% certain, I'm sure we'd all be interested to know your source

he said (on 14th April, I think it was) that all of Wolf Alice, Alt-J and Royal Blood were playing.

Royal Blood was wrong - and the other two were well-known, tho that doesn't prove that part of his info was guessed at.

Whats this Adele ripping off Tom Waits nonsense Ive heard about?

Poor Lofty

[sisco]

Not saying he is correct but I suppose the 3 as listed in this thread aren't exactly unlikely! And Muse Friday, Adele Saturday and Coldplay Sunday (as the Scum said) seems to be a good fit for days.

The scum said Foos on Friday. It's the Daily Hate Mail that said Muse.

Word that's coming out way is strongly suggesting that it's Muse, Adele and Coldplay that Glasto are trying to do, but whether they all actually sign up is another thing. It's still too early to take what we're hearing as certain, as 'what they're trying to do' which we tend to hear about (to some extent) around this time of year often changes for various reasons.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And it'd be reasonable to assume that of those three, Adele is the one most likely to say no.

I mean, Muse have already said that they're up for it and I'd imagine Coldplay are probably not far away from it either.

If that's who they are aiming for I will be amazed if it's not Muse Friday and Coldplay Sunday then.  Only difficult one to arrange is surely Adele.

Is there now good reason to discount to the strong Foo Fighters rumour? Or indeed, is it discounted now because of this!?

[Mash011]

Yeah I agree, can't see why Muse or Coldplay would say no to it. Here's hoping Adele gets scared and Radiohead step in.

[eFestivals]

Adele is the one with the most obvious reason to say no, but there's definitely reasons why the others might do too.

For example, we're hearing about Coldplay doing stadium shows (which may or may not be true), and if true those other promoters won't necessarily be keen for Coldplay to do other UK shows that might damage the sales of those stadium shows ... and I know that Coldplay have turned Glasto down on exactly this basis in the past.

Perhaps oddly, of the three, there's more suggesting to us that Adele is in the bag already than there is the others.

There's been good reasons come our way to suggest Foos were out for many months, tho there was also a well-sourced snippet which suggested they were in .... currently it's looking like things might have changed around this at about the time of their MK shows in September.

You heard owt more on Fleetwood Mac? They don't seem to be carried in any more rumour pieces than just that Mirror one, but it stating that a Q insider had said it right after the Q Awards did have me thinking it could well be true.

really?! Now that is a surprise.  If she is then I fully expect that to be the 3 then!

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah after Muse's comments recently I highly doubt they'd turn them down.

After Muse's album recently I highly expect they'd turn them down.
