Just in case someone suggests the Chilli Peppers again.

Always good to have a (Elton)John in your back pocket.  @kalifire swears by it

 I know they pulled out from headlining in the 90's so bridges might be burnt between RHCP and the Eavis family 

Were they under it at the time?

I'd rather see two hours of Princess Diana's funeral broadcast on the Pyramid screens rather than the socks on cocks merchants.

I bet you're fun at parties.

Chilli Peppers would be good if it was 1994. It's not, and they're awful live now. 

You wouldn't even get a Frusciante masterclass out of it, so absolutely no chance.

I am, especially at ones where nobody puts the Chillis on.

They will surely headline sooner rather than later... I know they pulled out from headlining in the 90's so bridges might be burnt between RHCP and the Eavis family - but what a great fucking headliner they'd be. 

I'm a bit torn because they are one of if not my all time favourite bands. But there is a big caveat and that is with John being in the band! No John and the magic just seems to be gone.

Just get these lads in instead https://rhcp.scot/

Used to absolutely love RHCP, saw them a couple of times in 2011, just missed the boat on Frusciante which is a shame, but they put on a couple of decent shows (for a fan at least)! Knebworth especially was great, don't know if they'd be any good now but there are certainly better alternatives, they undoubtably could fill a setlist with familiar hits though

Why do you take such offence to the prospect of bands playing you don't like?

You were on the Other Stage page yday doing the exact same thing lol

[utwothefly]

Billy on a solo euro tour right over Glastonbury, so SP is out. So just DL for them then ?

Why do people cry when I have a pop at bands they like?

[utwothefly]

I saw RHCP at the O2 last time they were there, thought they were great after hearing that they are crap live!. Happily watch them again 

 

edit* definitely have the songs

I don't like RHCP at all just find it bizarre that it would evoke such strong reactions from someone. Literally saw you doing it yesterday on the Other Stage thread and then saying you don't do it.

Can't wait for The Killers to play n you to be livid.

[jparx]

TBF. Jass is nowhere near the worst culprit when it comes to slagging off bands.

And he's totally justified in having a pop at RHCP ?

From yesterday...

No no. Definitely interested in seeing The Cure and I’ve said a few times that I’m perfectly happy to see The Killers if nothing else takes my fancy.

Yes I have a pop at a few (and it's always the same four or five), but then who doesn't on here? It would be pretty boring if everyone either liked the same things or just said "well they're not for me but I respect them as musicians" or some such lame shite. Why are people so precious about it? Part of the fun of this forum, and being a music fan in general, is slagging off the stuff you don't like. Do you think I'd genuinely prefer to see Di's funeral up there or was I just exaggerating for comic effect? Do you see me crying when someone has a dig at something I like?

It's weird isn't it? There's a couple of people who get super upset about RHCP specifically I've noticed.

There is something about RHCP that brings out my uglier side, not sure what it is. Maybe it's slap bass?

Totally agree it would be boring if everyone liked the same thing that's exactly my point, imagine you'd just joined this site n wanted to know if Courtneers or Catfish or whoever you liked where possibly playing this year. Can tell you for sure the person would be shot down immediately. Contrast that to if Radiohead ar mentioned it'll turn into a 10 page discussion on how great they are.

It's off-putting for newer/lurking users. And no, before you say it again, im not crying about it just making a point.

If they think I'm bad just imagine what they'd have made of Russy in his pomp.

Fecking Radiohead....! There back catalogue is the musical equivalent of Princess Di's funeral..

but yes, you are correct, there is far too much unnecessary slagging off of bands on here.
