There's plenty of reason to take exception with The Rolling Stones for their tax evasion/Under My Thumb/Stray Cat Blues, Metallica for their bear hunting, The Who for the child porn on Pete Townshend'

For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

Little Mix I don't really understand but they do have some catchy music. Taylor on the other hand is very good at her job and by most accounts decent live. I would hope that most would want to go there and listen to her decent music rather than stare at her for being a good looking woman (there will be some though and i'm sure some even post on here) however the same argument could be had for women purely going to see a male artist just for the pleasure of looking at them i.e 1975, Bastille and Catfish to name a few and that's purely based on what i've seen/heard with an actual quote on Bastille being " i only like 1 song but at least i can stare at Dan on stage for an hour". I know its all at different levels i'm just pointing out it can be the other way around.

Must remember to not find some women beautiful or it may be misconstrued.

Best tell my Mrs to stop fancying the dude from Maroon 5 too. Gross.

Taylor Swift is stunning. Sorry. I quite like her catchy tunes too.

 

Of course it happens both ways round, and stars trade on their looks too, particularly girl and boy bands. We're all human, fancy who you want. That wasn't really what I was saying though. Just wonder how little mix get a pass and take that don't? Apart from someone just saying GB is a w*nker of course, which doesn't really explain anything musically.

@Stokesy10, fine you find someone stunning - a nicer way of putting it than the references we had to Katy Perry's "bangers" we had last year. Which is a bit more locker roomish, but as I said, not for this thread.

Agreed. Think I jumped the gun with yours and other comments looking back.

Could have seen them at Download for less for a day and not much more for the entire weekend. The reality is if you want to see a band now festivals make far more sense than their own gigs. 

Yeah I saw them again at download also, been in to them since I was 6 so no brainer.

Yeah I paid £180 to see Guns n Roses at the London stadium last year, best gig of my life, waited 23 years for the chance so would of happily paid more tbh.

Out of curiosity, as a long term fan did you feel, I dunno, short-changed at all by the absence of Stradlin and Adler (or even Sorum)?

I know it's ridiculous, but I get a bit funny about incomplete lineups! :lol:

For big bands definitely.  And this is why I don't mind the (admittedly significant) outlay for Glastonbury, 'cos I'm definitely getting my money's worth!

There's a difference between finding someone attractive - which is natural - and going to watch an artist whose music you don't like just so you can stare at them and fantasise for an hour - which is creepy. If you don't understand the difference that's your problem.

Probably part of the reason Sia covers up and hides in the shadows as she performs. Bit weird, but at least she knows people are there for the music.

Kind of yeah but when Axl and Slash were doing their own thing I wasn't overly bothered and just thought as long as Axl's vocals and slash's riffs were there I'd be game, same thing with Bloc Party when drummer and bassist left I've still continued to see them with Keles vocals and Russell's riffs, the other musicians in both cases cut the mustard in my opinion so I'm happy.

Woah.

You didnt think Matt Tong cut the mustard in Bloc Party?!

He was one of the best drummers in the business.

Hey, you're taking words out of my mouth there, of course he did hence me being a massive fan (I've seen them 7 times) if the newbies didn't cut it I'd just continue listening to the records.
