Luxury!

Out of upvotes, but lovely stuff.

Are we all well? Not been on here much recently as been quite down with life. Finally starting to see some joy at the end of the long dark tunnel.

Headliner wise, I have been waiting for a few years for AM to come back and headline.

Apologies staunch fans, just cannot get into anything they have recorded in last several years. It just sounds like Vic Reeves on Shooting Stars.

Probably the least arsed this year about the line up as ever have been and will deffo be wandering around Yurts with a pipe of Kush much more.

Without a word of a lie I couldn't name one GnR song and although I may recognise one if I heard it, I'd be very unlikely to be able to say who it was by.

 

You’re not going to be there anyway?

Why are you always fucking complaining?

Shocking as it may seem, there are a lot of people out there who rarely if ever bother with mainstream music.

Unbelievable hey!

Music snobbery at its finest. 

If you find a band you like that ends up making it to the mainstream (whatever the hell that is exactly), do you suddenly decide you can't stand them anymore? Give me a break.

Quite simply no.

Not to put speculation back on to headliners, but if the Pyramid trio is Arctic Monkeys, Guns 'n' Roses and Elton John...

...are we all in agreement, regardless of dill danding spectacle, Reg'll be the best slot of the three?

Vibes for Reg will be off the chart.

No tunes, just vibes.

Hope there's a bunch of lads in the crowd dressed as Nigel Olsson, air-drumming along to the whole thing.

Still gonna be a bigger headline trio than anything else booked in Europe. Don't see why Guns N Roses are any different to booking Metallica. Both legacy rock/metal acts that have done the rounds for years. Guns N Roses have at least 10 bangers everyone knows whether you're a festival goer or not.

I definitely couldn't name 10 GNR songs - maybe 3 or 4 tops - and I'm certainly not 'pretending' to be cool - (I'm not cool)!

Don’t you live in the South West yet support Liverpool?

I've not heard of Elton John, Arctic Monkeys or Guns'n'Roses.  I'm even vague on what Glastonbury Festival actually is.

It's like what T in the Park used to be except it's not.

Sounds like the reverse of Chris Moyles' heavily debated comments claiming most unsigned bands are crap.

Then why do you care so much on who is headlining the Pyramid. The 'main' stage of a festival, that over the past decades have pretty much stuck to mainstream music outside of the odd act or two.

In the absence of knowledge making it up is just daft.

Irrespective of who is  headlining the pyramid, once all the other stage line ups are revealed the debates and discussions shift to the inevitable clashes. At this moment all the attention is on GnR, that will change.

I take that back then and apologise.

I have a genuine (ok, semi-genuine) question for the GnR fans  

I've just looked at their Greatest Hits album on Spotify. I knew Sweet Child O Mine. That was the only one. Apart from… the cover versions. So many songs on their “Greatest Hits” album are covers. 

Are they basically a wedding band that got lucky?

A mate of mine used to radio commentate for Southern Counties, covering the mighty Shots - so I managed to finagle my way in there loads of times, drinking tea and eating sandwiches in the media centre (🤣) at the Rec. this is George Borg era Shots, it was lots of fun and I’ve got a lot of affection for em since then!

So you dont know Welcome to the Jungle or any more off Appetite? That's quite an achievement, they have been overused in a lot of mainstream films recently I think.
