If you feel that running this site is not worth the hassle anymore then yeah it's probably time to step away, sell up and go do something you actually enjoy.

I genuinely wish you well in that endeavour.

thanks, tho you lot should be aware that not every owner will run this site to your satisfaction.

Doesn’t confirm anything. He said a show at Glastonbury but could be talking about the town. Believing too much in unreliable sources!!

Glastonbury town hall might be a suitable venue 😀

In the last decade Kasabian and Mumford and Sons have headlined Glastonbury.

Some years it’s not all sunshine and, err roses. 

Far be it from me to defend a band where (at least) one member turned out to be a raging Nazi but Mumfords were one of the most in-demand bands on the planet at the time they played. This year’s trio of past it legacy acts doesn’t compare well to 2013 at all. 2014 though yes absolutely diabolical, even before the Win Butler stuff .

...it doesn't scream all-timer on paper, but there are clearly enough songs there that will command a huge singalong.

The final 8 though will be huge. Granted it is  abit ballad heavy,

We've been speaking to the Saudis. They're keen to get into the festival rumours business.

they won't put up with this sort of shit, or run the site in a similar way. will be minimum effort, w*nkers are a big effort.

Saw one of the London Stadium gigs a few years ago, and it was the point where you got either Patience or Don't Cry in the encore. Got the former which was a gutter, given the latter is probably my favourite GNR track.

It's not just the ballad nature, it's the... long-form nature. Like, Estranged and November Rain both last an eternity. Could see the former missing the cut despite being a cracker.

Good luck, hope you get what you want and deserve out of it.

Good stuff. Site needs a change up. And you won’t have to deal with w*nkers.

If I were you I probably wouldn't speak this way about potential investors....

You're meant to be selling to them. Tell them how great we all are!

The site has an active user base of several thousand loyal w*nkers.

Everyone who uses pornhub is a w*nker and that site makes millions.

Maybe Neil should stress to the buyers how we are all massive w*nkers

Way to steal GnR's thunder - you've been planning this 😄 

Seriously though - you've done an amazing job building this site up.  I never want to talk politics with you again, but otherwise it's been a pleasure.  There are always the exceptions, but the spirit and enthusiasm built up within efestivals has kept me coming back for whatever number of years.

Hopefully your participation continues - until the new owners ban you at least

[leath02]

Headliner self confirms and this thread has already descended into everyone self referring as w*nkers. 

Never a dull moment

I doubt he’s really leaving. This is just a toy throwing response to GnR.

Well, happy coincidence that we're not talking about them too much at least.  Not sure I'll be able to persuade anyone that they're worth the time

I'd be well up this, to be fair. Some big singalongs.
