2019 Headliners

Their main appeal right now seems the relative scarcity of gigs in recent years?

Yeah. Their main appeal was that they dressed all cool and were from New York. If they were from Barnsley no one would've given a shit.

Ooh ooh and the Eminem one with Stan on it when people thought they were cool hip hop fans because they knew the words to the shouty bit at the end.

If people want to wilfully ignore this kind of stuff then it's their loss I guess!

When you look at all the shit that was out there at the turn of the millennium - Dido, Toploader, nu-Metal, David Grey, Starsailor... it's no wonder The Strokes became so popular. There was literally fuck all else.

But the difference is that Kasabian have quite a lot of big tunes. The Strokes would have to play Last Nite on repeat for two hours... ?

Staggering opinion that, possibly the most bizarre I've seen on here since The Strokes rumour kicked off

It's one thing not to like them but to claim they have one single, that's laughable

This is a strange myth.

I have long maintained on these pages that Juicebox is an absolute banger and their best effort by a mile. I like The Strokes, always have done, I just don't think they should be headlining Glastonbury in 2019.

I'd say it's mostly within a limited age group.

The age group thing is a fair point. I think one of the reasons I love them so much is when I first started going out properly to bars and more importantly 'indie clubs', a handful of their tunes were played every night guaranteed. 12:51, Reptilia, Juicebox but to a name a few, it was part of that era. They're songs that will stay with me forever

one of the best atmospheres for a gig i've been at at Glastonbury tbh. it helped that it was an hour of pretty much hit after hit.

 

Still get goosebumps watching this. The atmosphere in that tent was insane.

Unlikely as Foals did that position two festivals ago.

That's fair enough - I'm just not convinced that they're total shit. If they do headline, I'll def go see them though (prob need to get a ticket first).

It would be more likely to be Foals with Strokes subbing....

I loved is this it, Room on Fire was ok & I stopped bothering after that - so much so that I don't think I've heard Juicebox til it was posted on here.

Im shocked they are even under consideration as Pyramid headliners tbh. Other stage, yes... but Pyramid?

Really I don’t think bands that peaked so long ago should be headlining Glastonbury either. Its forte used to be holding up a mirror to what’s current... but it isn’t anymore and the alternative is the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers so getting The Strokes is a good result in my book.

Even Lady Gaga was yesterday’s news a few months ago. Now we’re looking for her to come over during her Vegas residency (think about that; a Vegas residency...) to play.

Not sure current bands have really headlined the Pyramid that often - it's not really what it's for. Coldplay and Momford and Sons maybe? In that they did it after v few albums. Hardly the cutting edge though. Oasis the first time too.

Even when I started in the mid-90s it was stuff like Peter Gabriel.

Here are the NHS guidelines, I hope there is someone to hand to care for you:

 

• Lay the Person Down, if Possible. Elevate the person's feet about 12 inches unless head, neck, or back is injured or you suspect broken hip or leg bones. ...
• Begin CPR, if Necessary. If the person is not breathing or breathing seems dangerously weak: ...
• Treat Obvious Injuries.
• Keep Person Warm and Comfortable. ...
• Follow Up.

Whilst I'm not comparing the Stokes to the Stones, did you feel that way in 2013? Or is it just that this years are not that good?

The stupid thing is that I actually like The Strokes and The Cure - and I haven't got a f@cking ticket!!!

[GMF]

There is only one way to solve The Strokes debate, is to have a second referendum, now everyone just needs to phone their mum and ask “do you know who The Strokes are”
