For sure. It was the first performance where every player actually played to their ability level.

I'm pretty sure Weezer would headline the Other stage if they played. Their 'tour' sold out in minutes and people have been desperate for them to play for years. 

Still wouldn't headline I don't think

As a Weezer (and Rams) fan it only feels right for my fist post to be on this thread..

Trying not to get too optimistic for a Weezer appearance, saw them at Leeds in 2010 and the stole the weekend for me, converted a few friends also. Fingers crossed

Love how DCFC fans are taking over this thread  Welcome to the forum!

Derby promotion and Weezer pulling a Phil Collins would make my year.

Nah, Other sub at best or even possibly third down. Not nearly a big enough act in the UK to headline Other

I really disagree, but there you go.

We'll never know because only ever play in this country every 5 years and do 3 fucking shows, 2 of which in London.

Gotta love the Gibbard. Postal Service are better though.

Death Cab are the best. Postal Service never did anything anywhere near as good as Transatlanticism.

I don't think they would quite be 3rd down....probably got the rarity to sub.

They are no bigger than in 2010 when they were booked 3rd at Reading.

Weezer subbing the Pyramid... Lawd.

2 or 3 down Other or headlining JP.

The song yes perhaps, but as for albums DCFC can't touch Give Up

[ghostdancer1]

absolutely no chance they could headline the Other.

sub-Other would be the best they could hope for these days.

If LCD can headline the Other, Weezer can.

LCD couldn't have done without splitting and reforming. If Weezer did that then maybe they could headline it.

That's amazing to me. Weezer hadn't played in the UK for 5 years until last week. 

LCD Soundsystem last played Glastonbury 6 years ago.

LCD have broken up and reformed since Weezer last played in the UK, yet just by doing that it means they are 'big enough' to headline the Other, yet Weezer apparently aren't.

Aye and by doing it that way they have much more of a buzz and publicity around them and can probably command higher slots. The fact they're doing things like headlining Coachella also means they probably wouldn't bother playing unless they got offered a big slot, which wouldn't be the case with Weezer.

I couldn't see Weezer being big enough to headline things like Primavera in Europe.

[ghostdancer1]

Lcd Soundsystem broke up at their peak.

Weezer have churned out increasingly shit albums full of filler for the guts of 15 years that even their longtime fans barely give a shit about.

if they can't even sub R&L, then they're certainly not headlining the Other.

Rivers Cuomo must have slept with a lot of mothers in his time given the level hate in this thread.

No, he just made a lot of really bad music.

 

By the way, how are they live? judging by several recent YouTube videos, Rivers vocals sound quite weak... hoping it's just certain days off and that he'll sound better.

Also, they seem to randomly play the entire Pinkerton every once in a while... like Riot Fest 2015... catching one of those would be a dream.

I've never seen them live before but I have seen plenty of clips and they always seem pretty on point to me. They have a great reputation as a live act too.

His vocals were spot on last night!! Yes they do have some bad filler on some albums, but live they are up there with the best and can pull together a great setlist, bit like the foos.

I was with you until almost the very end, there.

When Rivers Phoenix and the lads get rocking it's oooo eeeee ooooo just like Davey Grohly.

[Justiceforcedave]

Agreed, great both times I've seen them live. Defiantly sub at best these days though (Pixies/Pumpkins styleee).

LCD are riding the reunion hype after disbanding at their peak and I'd imagine there are lots of folks who didn't see them the first time around.
