I had a teen metal phase and couldn't have named him till I saw Gonzo's post. If you'd have said Rob Halford, I'd have known he was JP's singer, but the other way round I wouldn't have been able to summon it. I'm probably not the best person to get involved in a debate about this because the majority of people I know that are music fans, and attend festivals, would know who he is. And that mostly includes non-metal fans. I can accept that I may be an outllier in this situation though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Few people can name Rob Halfords, but everyone know Ronnie Romero - a cross between Ronnie James Dio and Freddie Mercury and Rob Halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Obviously the legend slot is here to stay and it suits the Sunday afternoon perfectly, but I don't really agree with this specific slot thing and hope Motörhead and ZZ top were just coincidences in those particular slots. I don't think it's good to create too many of these pre-defined niches in the lineup.. here you go here's your allloted bit of heritage metal, same again next year. I would rather things were kept fresh and also bands were there on merit rather than to fill a spot just because it's become a 'thing'.

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Plenty of terrible acts on the Pyramid under no merit whatsoever. I think it's a decent call to give these perennially square old duffers another wee moment in the sun. It adds variety to the smorgasbord.

I think it's a decent call to give these perennially square old duffers another wee moment in the sun. It adds variety to the smorgasbord. I agree but it doesn't have to be one specific slot each year, does it? If there's a suitable act touring then go for it, if there's no suitable act then don't bother, if there are 3 suitable acts then stick em all on. Doesn't have to be 3rd down the Pyramid on Friday, either. Stick em wherever they deserve to be based on the size of the act. That slot was probably correct for ZZ Top and Motorhead, but because of those acts playing the same slot we've ended up only considering acts who are of the same size and could also fit in that slot, which shouldn't really be the case.

The dates line up spot on - the problem is Blackmore won't do it for anything less than a prestigious slot. Do find it brilliant that Blackmore's Rainbow have shifted more tickets than the current Deep Purple lineup in the UK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Sunday will see a lot of treking - though as I'll have done Erasure and Lady Gaga by then, I'll probably just sack off to John Peel after Barry Gibb. Decent lineup. I had a smile when I woke up today because I realised that poster time is this month. Really hope it blows me out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering his current celebrity and no doubt how well this new album will do I think they'll push him to one of the two bigger stages for sure. Like I said, hopefully Pyramid, probably Other. His shite dancing demands a bigger audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
