There is some possible chance as we are all alive. But they won’t, because they are shit. As am I. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Just now, battleborn said: There's a lot of valid arguments against them headlining but that isn't one. Firstly because they aren't shit, and secondly because some absolute shit have headlined Glastonbury. You’re right they are double shit. Shit bands can headline, but double shit bands can’t.

No they aren't. You're making up shit for your imaginary imagination. G-Way is bringing out a solo album and Tom Delonge is living life as a broke Elon Musk.

Amy Lawn Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Anybody not accepting the brilliance of MCR is well Ashcroft. But it's not happening, Gerard Way has his own imprint at DC Comics, he's a busy man. Gonna be a p sick reunion when it happens though, and Glastonbury would be very wise to give them the top spot. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they meet your clearly ridiculous standards of bands big enough to headline Glastonbury? OK, let's do this logically and without using the "bands are shit" argument. And just to get it out early, I don't think any of the bands you've listed are headliners anymore. The comparisons you've got there are a bit off for starters. Blink 182 and MCR, with the best will in the world, are not in the same sphere as AC/DC, Aerosmith and Ozzy. You've got three bands there with huuuuuge back catalogues and 40 odd years of tunes. Age doesn't make a good band by any stretch, but those guys have massive back catalogues. KISS probably have an equivalent number of hits to be honest, but they've got a big old classic nostalgia thing going on. Green Day are probably closest and would stand up to the comparison a bit better. Neither MCR or Blink 182 are big enough IN THE RIGHT FANBASE to headline. Pop punk and emo aren't really the zeitgeist at the moment, and they're not exactly bands that a wider demographic is looking at for a reunion. They'd be a massive draw at somewhere like Reading or maybe Download, but not Glastonbury. Could they play? Absolutely. Could they be high or headline Other? Yes. Are they pyramid headliners? nope.

HoTWire Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 If the Headliner thread over the years has taught me anything it is this: the majority of people that post on the Headliner thread don't know shit about what bands are popular or "big enough" to headline Glastonbury (either Pyramid or Other). Also why the hell would Blink 182 or MCR come within a country mile of Glastonbury!??! There are much more suitable and popular festivals for them to appear at without the sneering hordes of people that would rather be watching The National and w*nking themselves into a stupor about how wonderful it all is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people would go and see them for nostalgia factor. Especially if they came back with a more mainstream album. I don't know of a single person that likes them, or has done at any point of their lives. Edited October 29, 2018 by eastynh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful, self-aware camp, bags of melodrama, some of the biggest hooks in all of Christendom, hugely triggering to the po-faced hoardes. Not at all far from Gaga really.
