Reports from the Fugees first reunion gig

Doors opened at 6, they got on at 10 (lol) and it lasted 45 mins

I’m surprised that they did a gig so soon, last I heard Wyclef Jean was gone till November.

All of a sudden they all look so old!

Except for Frusciante. He's looked the same for about twenty years.

I didn't realise Frusciante had rejoined!

The idea of whether deciding not to see a band because you've seen them at their best is something that's been discussed elsewhere, but I think it's particularly valid with the Chilis. When they're great they're on fire, but when they're bad they are baaaaad. And I've seen both. Not sure it's a gamble worth taking!

I'm surprised the Peppers haven't been #metoo yet, they did loads of scummy shit back in the 90s apparently.

I'm jaded by them myself after so many bad shows but I was given free tixs on the last tour so I went anyway. I was talking to a couple of girls I didn't know who were really excited to see "rock legends" as they kept saying and they talked about how much they love their music and we talked about their songs which actually lightened me up to see it that way and enjoy the show more rather than waiting for them to be shit just so I can call them shit. Maybe being postive actually works.

Tbf, for whatever reason, pre-00’s musicians seem to have been given a huge pass when it comes to their shitty behaviour and ‘rock star antics’ of the past, despite a lot of it being quite heavily detailed in the media and their own braggy biographies. Maybe a lot of it being with ‘groupies’ has something to do with it? I’m not sure.

Just that woke cancel culture doesn't really exist in the way that some people think it does.

 

The thing I've always heard about them was they had a thing for underage girls rather than that type of stuff.

Next time you have a go at somebody about bands being shit or festivals not being worth the money etc, I want you to remember that you very much considered paying £80+ to see a glorified busker with his loop pedal, and a fucking shite one at that. 

This was so funny

I'm out of upvotes for today but that's a big like from me!

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
