Beerqueen Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I saw Band of Horses in 2016. I had completely forgotten until now that I did and all I can remember about them is that I was there. Can genuinely not remember what they were like. Same for The Blossoms (in 2017?).

beefykoala Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 2005 - The Doves. I almost cried at how bored I was. (Then) boyfriend got aggie at me for wanting to leave without him, but didn't want to leave. So I was basically forced to watch them. It was SO BORING. It took me three more years to break up with him because I was an indecisive 20-something, but I can remember hating nothing more in that moment than the Doves and my stupid (then) boyfriend.

Supposed to be the new Oasis I remember making fun of them when they were about, they had something like 5 names changes and kept changing their genre to whatever fad sound was in at the time.

Splonk Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Liam Gallagher Pyramid 2018 Now I didn't actively go to see this. Camping in Kidney Mead I could hear the intense awfulness of it all from the discomfort of my tent. Genuinely, shockingly, shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Kids in Glass Houses - Sonisphere 2011 Weather was poor, crowd were totally disinterested and the band were just going through the motions. Also saw Janene Garofalo (?sp) die on her arse in the comedy tent at latitude back in something like '09 , and leave ten minutes into a 45 minute slot. Was saved by Ed Byrne coming out and doing double duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 2007, was with two mates, one of who's totally blind and wanted to see Babyshambles, unfortunately for me said other mate had done a disappearing act meaning I had to endure Babyshambles, think it was Other Stage. Dire would be being kind to that performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Saw The XX at bbc introducing in 2013 and thought they were terrible. But then I loved them on main a couple of years later Bullet for my Valentine at slam dunk 2019 was appalling and had a completely unnecessary 5 minute drum solo. Moby Dick is the only acceptable lengthy drum solo Megadeth at sonisphere 2011. Doesn't help that I don't like their music but they were boring as sin The Strokes at reading 2011. Left after a couple of songs The 2nd half of Craig David at Glastonbury 2017. This was so bad because he started so well, went into a DJ set and ruined the whole thing. I mainly found it extremely frustrating Noels band (flying birds?) Glasto 2013 opening the other. So so so boring Pharell Williams Glasto 2015. My entire group thought this was unbearable and one regards it as the worst set he's ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I needed another reason to dislike the guy. A shame because his early stuff was so good! Kanye at big chill was one of the best things I've ever seen with my eyes! MBDTF (aka one of the greatest albums ever made) live?! Ballet dancers?! A never ending intro into Runaway?! A classic Kanye rant about Hitler!? I cant understand what isn't to love about that set. Unless you aren't a Kanye Stan and reading this back I can see you said you liked his earlier stuff. People would kill to have seen him do that album live man Edited October 14, 2019 by I feel like Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I feel like Pablo Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 On 10/11/2019 at 12:19 AM, henry bear said: There’s a difference between an act playing a terrible set, and you personally not liking that act or that performance. The Who in 2015 was in no-way a terrible performance, indeed I thought it was a typically good performance from the band. But ultimately it’s probably not too many people’s idea of a Glastonbury headliner, so they were kinda doomed anyway. Dylan on the other hand can be a right train wreck. Exactly this. Are we doing objectively bad sets or stuff we just aren't into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidently saw her on the way to downtown after seeing Prophets Of Rage who were meant to have finished after her. For the few songs she did play she was alright, it was the long 10min monologue in the middle of the set that was really annoying. 8 hours ago, PDAD said: I gave up after 40 minutes of waiting and headed to Relic for the dut. Did the same for Little Simz the day before too. I hate to say it but we were absolutely chopped and really really enjoying her warm up DJ lol. Hip hop singalong!

brandycoke Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Ok @MEGABOWL ,my Band of Horses. PTSD. Left ELO early to catch Band of Horses, and in my haste i slipped in the mud , went flying head first ,and ended up doing a sort of rugby tackle style fall into a seated girl, the look of sheer disgust on her face was only matched by mine during Band of Horses. I was so looking forward to it, but I just got the impression that they really didn't want to be there, and just one tune from the brilliant 'Infinite Arms' is just not on.

Ryan1984 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I saw Norman Lovett (Holly from Red Dwarf) die on his arse in Glastonbury’s comedy stage one year. Primal Scream (before Basement Jaxx?) and Kings of Leon (Oasis?) subbing the Pyramid both pretty dreadful. Black Midi this year and Klaxons at their peak. I lasted 30 seconds.

Saint northover Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Jack White 2014 was woeful, beady eye opening other 13, Ed sheeran Sunday can't remeber if it was 13 or 14 and George ezra this year as my 8 year old really wanted to go. His patter is terrible and the most boring live act I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Boo Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 It’s been said before, but worth repeating - Rob Stewart’s 2002 headline slot was a shocker. Probably didn’t help that Roger Waters had played a lot of Pink Floyd hits as sub. Rob seemed game and I remember he played plenty of his own hits, but from where I was standing the sound was terrible. Just watched a few of the songs on youtube from that set and in fairness it’s sounds much better than I remember (not difficult), but if you look at the shots of the crowd they look bored (sorry don’t know how to upload videos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
