I think people take them too seriously, it's a side project and they're just having a bit of fun! Not to mention when I tried to watch the highlights when I got home the BBC only showed a couple of songs anyway?? I actually really like them but I just struggled with the preening around by them. Ive been to many a.fest so I get it can feel much different when you're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'd imagine "Radiohead 2017" will be an addition to this thread in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug85 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Ellie Goulding last year and I was only walking by looking for the Yorkshire pudding stall. Absolutely horrific and utterly shite. I wont get those 5-10 mins back that i'd rather have been stood in a queue for! Second for me was also last year and again only in passing. I caught about 10 minutes of The 1975 on the other stage when i got my times mixed up for Chvrches and I can safely say they are completely woeful. Haven't a clue what the front man was doing flailing around like a geriatric whilst being completely unable to play any kind of music.

waterfalls212434 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I would say Motorhead in 2015, the set wasn't particularly bad or though not the best ive seen from them(but given what im about to say you can excuse that) but bad for me as im a massive motorhead fan, ive grown up knowing that band and lemmy himself are the epitomy of rock n roll........and from watching that set you could tell Lemmy was ill, he looked gaunt, thin, not as aggressive as he usually is onstage, you could tell something was up and it wasnt just media speculation over his health. It was kind of a `yay motorhead at glastonbury! but also a ....shit hes really not well is he?` and then that was the last time I ever saw them live as it was last time I got a chance to before lemmy passed away.

RichardWaller Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Suede, 2003. I love Suede, was really looking forward to seeing em as that was the first time I would. They were so bad that when the reunion came round I was in two minds about seeing em again, but so glad I did. Don't know what was wrong with em that day, they just went down like a lead balloon.

leggy91 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Only been for the last couple years but ELO is one act that comes to mind.. But that maybe partly due to the fact that I had to run to the long drop and listen to the rest of the set from there, whilst experiencing Montezuma's revenge at it's finest.

Definitely a laddy atmosphere. Ha. That was me.... nah not really. I'm too old for that schmozzle. Well my judgment must have been clouded, I had a great time. Remember going to meet me pals after it and I was buzzing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely dire. Looked like he'd smashed a tonne of valium or been hitting the bong (water) heavy. As i remember, the first 20 mins of Mockasin's set was him fucking up a sound check. There again, that could have been his set! I left shortly after what sounded like the first discernible tune. Had been really looking forward to it as well.

Wanderlei Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Streets on the JP Stage in 2011 were rubbish, and the audience (which i'm ashamed to have been a part of) were horrendous (i witnessed someone pee in a cup and throw it on everyone...knew my mum was going to embarrass me!!!). I left half way through and watched Beyonce - that's how bad it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHew Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Can't remember the year but the Seahorses on the other were terrible and the backing vocals so out of tune. Caught some of Ellie Goulding as I slogged past the pyramid last year. Really didn't help my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've been watching back some of the Paul Simon set on YouTube tonight. His voice really was shot but that setlist didn't help, I wasn't one calling for S&G stuff as I love his solo output but it could've been SO much better. Also had a look a recent setlists. Man, that last night in Dublin.. Dreamy setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougal1 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I missed the streets in 2011 but they were great in 2009 on west holts! Worst for me are probably Paul Simon and James Blake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm not sure why (but suspect that it's owing to a congenital deformity) but I don't think I could name any act that didn't please me on some level. That is apart from the odd juggler (they usually work alone, for maximum me, me, me, benefit), if indeed, you can count them as an act. I don't mind pop bands, orchestras, comedians (this is actually a lie, but you'll get my point) etc etc, but what the fuck are jugglers all about? What on earth is going through what is laughingly referred to as their minds if they think that is entertainment? And why do they all wear off the shelf crustie gear? Why not strike out and be the one to wear a onesie, and be crowned the biggest spanner of them all within the juggling fraternity? Sorry if the above appears all negative 'n' all, but it's the only thing I can think of which might fit the criteria of the thread title.

If you saw Thompson Twins in 1981 I can safely say that it would not have pleased you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
