Rosscoe Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 He didn't say they wouldn't ever play the pyramid, just that they didn't want to then (roughly 2yrs ago), maybe it was just a line he used to kill off the conversation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable that this rumour still goes round when as far as I know the only source for it is one random guy on here who claimed to have met Thom in a cafe. It may well be true that they don't want to but I don't think we really have much reason to think that's a valid source for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aside from anything else, the Rolling Stones set was 2013, the Pyramid sound has been vastly improved since they introduced the Martin MLA system in 2014 so it wouldn't be relevant even if it was true.

I find it more unbelievable that someone who had posted on the site a couple of hundred times before (I can't find the OP now but I remember that from it happening) popped up and said that for no apparent reason, while Radiohead weren't even a rumour for the festival and there wasn't any need to strengthen or diminish the prospect of them, and people who didn't want to believe them instantly called them a liar. What a bizarre lie it would be, as well. Yet if someone with a single post on the forum that said Radiohead were playing then I don't think there'd be as much questioning. I think the new audio systems have come in since and Thom's head might have been turned (if he ever goes to the Pyramid) but yeah, it's not unreasonable for him to have said that at one point. EDIT: not a couple of hundred posts as the OP is on the last page. but still and all, not exactly a bullshitter Edited July 2, 2016 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to as far back as the infamous Chris Martin Supergroup incident to see how grossly passing comments can be distorted by Efests members.

Was that from an eFester? I thought I had read that somewhere else. Fair point but to be fair we were only looking at one act being added at that time and then Eavis said two British acts were playing so people put them both together. Fuck knows what Chris Martin had to do with it, of course. Forgot all about that though. So stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it originated here - if I'm not mistaken someone on here overheard Michael Eavis make a passing comment about Chris Martin and from that alone the entire community decided that the festival's Sunday night headliner was a supergroup organised by Chris Martin. 'Someone thought Thom Yorke said he doesn't like the sound on the pyramid and therefore Radiohead will never headline ever' is exactly the same kind of thing, really.

I can't believe I would have ever thought a Chris Martin supergroup would headline. I don't know what Thom not liking the sound of the Pyramid stage and thinking the Rolling Stones' sound was shit can be misconstrued from. Plus the previous two gigs he'd played at the festival were on the Park Stage, as if making a point of not playing the big one. Either way, the sound system has improved massively since then (tho I didn't realise it was bad then) so I wouldn't say it really matters anymore and I expect them to headline next year. Still doesn't mean that was a lie or twisted words, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 1. OK Computer 2. In Rainbows 3. A Moon Shaped Pool 4. Kid A 5. Hail to the Thief 6. The Bends 7. Amnesiac 8. The King of Limbs 9. Pablo Honey OK Computer/In Rainbows, AMSP/Kid A and HTTT/The Bends all so tough to pick between, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 oh ALRIGHT THEN 1. Kid A 2. OK Computer 3. In Rainbows 4. The Bends 5. A Moon Shaped Pool 6. Hail to the Thief 7. Amnesiac 8. The King of Limbs 9. Pablo Honey since seeing them in London i've given Radiohead a bit of a rest after having them on non-stop in the lead up to and with the release of AMSP, and intend to do so until as late as them being announced for the festival, although i doubt i'll make it that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Was looking at old Radiohead threads for Rosscoe's original café post and saw lots of lists, obviously. TKOL was doing much better on those than the 'second worst' mantle it holds now. Wonder if the same will happen to AMSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosscoe Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 it was a direct conversation I had with Thom. For timescale - It would have taken place before we knew headliners for 2015. Roughly 2yrs/18months ago, so the situation for the group could have changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
