thrillhouse188 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I was a huge RHCP fan growing up, even into the I'm With You phase, saw them a couple times in 2011/12 as well, which was a lot of fun. That being said I'm not such a big fan anymore, and in my opinion it would be an uninspired, and quite peculiar booking, given they're dwindling relevance and recent output being utter dogshite, I also can't see them playing and it not being as Pyramid headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wro_lap Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 This could be a stupid question, but I’m assuming an RHCP secret set is off the cards? It’s possible but would be weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickButkis Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 RCHP’s would only be playing on the pyramid and you’d be a fool to think otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Dickfingers Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Madness we live in a world where Kanye is met with a mass seethe but people are actually excited let alone open to the possibility of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Absolute bloody shite. I honestly believe booking them as a headliner would be the worst booking of the modern era. 1 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. She also booked Stormzy and the killers were a late-ish replacement. Good comparison with FF, but they are still a force live. Arguably as good live as ever. RCHP are sadly not from my own personal perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree on that one. Foos have done 9 albums, with normally 3 years between releases right up to 2017. So while you can argue they're meat and potatoes rock, they've been pretty consistent. You can definitely say the anthem quality has gone a bit, but tracks off the recent albums (Rope, Walk, These Days) are still getting radio play and they're still fairly relevant. Chillis on the other hand... 11 albums, but 4 of them came in a 5 year flurry of activity in the early days until BSSM, then started to tail off. Bigger gaps between albums, and aside from Dark Necessities from The Getaway and Dani California from Stadium Arcadium, everything you'll hear on the radio will be from BSSM, Californication or By The Way, 1991-2002. Apart from die hards, no one knows the early stuff pre-BSSM, and no-one cares about the recent stuff. In terms of current musical landscape and consistency, Foos are way ahead. OK they weren't universally popular, but that's why they were still deemed a reasonable Glastonbury headliner a couple of years ago but RHCP are being laughed out of the building.

I think secret sets, big and small, are part of what makes Glastonbury amazing. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see multiple headliner sized (or near headliner sized) secret sets in 2020.

Secrets cannot be kept for long anymore, which leads to all sorts of health and safety issues. You may get the odd one from time to time, like the Killers in the JP (which was essentially the Killers playing to an arena sized crowd anyway) , but not multiple headliner sized acts.

I think you're being a tad harsh there. Snow was massive and it's still played on the radio fairly often, but the Chilis transcended regular rock music whereas I don't think the same can be said of the Foos. Everyone knows Under the Bridge, By the Way, Californication - the average person in the street would know them. I don't think the same can be said of the Foos though. If you're into rock music then sure, you'll know All my Life, The Pretender, but the average joe I'm not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I've been a Chilis fan for many years and absolutely some of the stuff is well know by yer average Joe. But the ones that you've pointed out are all exactly the point I was making - three albums from '91, '99 and '02. Snow was a big tune, but it's not one you hear on the mainstream stations any more. I'm not trying to set one against the other per se, but the Foos have been more consistent with their output in recent times. Just don't agree with putting them in the same category on that basis, as Chilis are more notably past their prime than the Foos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the Chillis will be anything near as fun as the Foos 2017 set. That was a fantastic night. The Chilis have no personality. It would be a pointless booking for me.

Matt42 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 They absolutely are big enough to headline it’s just a bit naff. I feel I’d prefer to spend time elsewhere - but at the same time they have a fair few songs that I know quite well. Hmm. Conflicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Flo ended up headlining but she (they) should have topped the bill instead of Rog and the lads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
