The Strokes. I'm not buying it, but thought I'd put it on here anyway. Has he been right before? Seems more and more realistic. I think I want it too much but did he say anything else? The Strokes are around, not played before which is what Eavis originally said could be an exclusive which Glastonbury love to find. I'm convinced.

If The Strokes played Last Night first, there'd be 22 people left for the rest of their set. 21 of those would leave once they'd done New York City Cops. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those waiting for Reptilia, Is This It, Someday, Hard to Explain etc? They've got a fair few very well-known, very recognisable songs, albeit largely off their debut album (which is incredible). This is no different to making the equivalent joke about The Cure with Friday I'm in Love (with Boys Don't Cry as the second one). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that song by The Cure... you know... the one that goes: "Sunday Monday happy days, Tuesday Wednesday happy days Thursday Friday happy days. Saturday what a day. Groovin all week with you" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I dunno if they're that similar a proposition really and a bit apples and oranges, so difficult to really compare So using Hyde Park ticket sales as a metric seems reasonable, and on that measure the prize goes to Bob and the lads.

A real 'I was there' moment. But there's no way they're Glastonbury headliner material. They could headline The Other or sub the Pyramid but I don't see them taking either slot if they're getting headline slots offered to them by the likes of BBK So memorable you got the year wrong? ?

Quote Ha! No war! The only reason I know is that I was at the Brixton gig a few days later. Touty ticket outside for £40 (Daylight robbery on my part!) and felt pretty special. The thing that hurt the Strokes biggest was the break after Angles. First Impression was bloody decent in my opinion and Angles was better than Be Here Now in my opinion. The split after just didn't have the same sense of mystery that some have had. No chance of headlining Pyramid, but surely could headline Other.
