Reports from the Fugees first reunion gig 

https://www.stereogum.com/2161636/last-nights-fugees-reunion-started-three-hours-late-and-phones-werent-allowed/news/ 

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.

Went a bit giddy this morning, picked up tickets to see Jon Hopkins, Gary Numan and Frank Turner (not all on the same bill 😄 ) next year.

All of a sudden they all look so old!

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

Just picked up a ticket for Brixton, 32 quid which is downright reasonable.

Decent price as well. Seeing them at Primavera, clashes notwithstanding

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.

They have been me too'd tho, right?

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.

This is all quite heinous.

Actually thinking about it after you brought it up Catholic School Girls Rule is coming into my head alot darker now than when I was a teenager.

Theres no "apparently" about it. In his autobiography, Kiedis admits to having slept with an underage girl despite knowing her age.

Not terribly hard to refresh on see to pull ed sheeran tickets. Seems he didnt try to gouge everyone. £82 for field isnt the end of the world. Couldve asked for double and every wouldve paid. Lets see how many dates he adds.

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.
