Billy Joel would almost be as awful as Bruce Springsteen. Old white men with little to offer than ‘remember what I was like?’  
 

G25 needs to be modern, progressive, and reflect an understanding of where music is at currently. 

 

Nah man, you're better than that. There's maybe an argument for Joel given his low output, but Springsteen's continued releasing albums that have sold well and been well received. The "remember what I was like" bit's just lazy.  It's like people who write James off as 90s one-hit wonders without actually looking at their discography.

 

The less said about the old white men bit the better tbh.

Uptown Girl and that one where he lists loads of bad things. Like a worse version of REM's 'the end of the world'. Has he done anything else I'd know?

 

Is it wrong* that I really want to have a crack at that on karaoke?

 

*I know it's wrong. And I regret nothing

They should book the act who by common consensus released the best album of the last year.

What is common consensus?

If we did it on sales we would have had-

1996- Robson & Jerome

2006- James Blunt

2010- Susan Boyle

2015- One Direction 

Do you really want that?

It was a joke based on SOS by SZA probably being the top critical pick of 2023 (#1 Pitchfork, etc)

Bruce is one I'd def see again.  2009's the only time I've seen him live, and I've listed to a lot more of his stuff since then (both old and new) so it'd feel very much like a new experience for me.

Based on what you've said I'd strongly recommend going to one of his own gigs next year. Wembley the other week was incredible, my 6th time seeing him (first was Glastonbury), and easily the best

Have no doubt I'd love it, but I'm very much in the £50-ish limit for gig tickets.  Love a bit of Bruce, but not that much 😂

I'd potentially see all three as well, although if anyone missed out it'd likely be Fred as I saw him last year. Skipped Bruce back in 2009 for an early visit to the SEC, but a second bite at the cherry would be welcome. 


Have never really gotten into Bruce, but seeing as I’m a big fan of his love child Sam Fender, common sense would suggest I’d actually really like him. 

Not sure I’ve got a 3 hour set in me though. Probably not an act in the world I could sit through for 3 hours. 
 

(Except Daft Punk).

This place continues to be hilarious. People turning their nose up or questioning Billy f**king Joel 😅 probably the same people who laughed at Elton John being announced. 

 

Elton John's songs have generally aged better than Billy Joel's music, and the Rocketman movie also introduced the man to a whole new generation. Apples and oranges.

I dunno, maybe half a dozen mentions considering it's clearly fiction. 

 

Can't envisage why someone so eyewateringly rich would take a long trip to Somerset to work for a reduced fee

 They literrally had her booked to headline in 2023 when she was also a billionaire -  she then pulled out due to pregnancy.  So don't see why her being a billionaire this year would stop her doing it in 2025 when it would not in 2023

Those would require an industrial amount of drugs to watch

I mean plenty of press reported it and if you scroll back on this forum I think you will see it was discussed to death  at the time. 

 

Emily's "female act, had to change touring plans" seems less than subtle. I'm.prepared to consider it a fact but make your own minds up.

    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.

    • Nope, Sum 41 had already headlined second stage along with Rob Zombie and Slayer in 2017....are we saying that Rob and Slayer would be 4th down the Pyramid. The KSE are always predicted 3rd down, Skindred are given 3rd down and we think 7 years after a second stage headline with that genre very 'IN' they wouldn't get 3rd down.  Sum 41 did a last ever UK did that had Wembley Arena and not The 02 and it wasn't anywhere near the prices Good Charlotte is costing. Every act is going to do well on a final tour, GC have only just come back and in my opinion a shocking day of music overall for the return choice.    On Slam Dunk, firstly Sum 41 headlined in 2022 when festivals returned from the covid time out, every festival going sold out and some very quickly! Secondly, Slam Dunk in 2022 was not £150 for a day ticket. Also thirdly, Slam Dunk 2022 was a great lineup, this years was pants! I met two guys at RIP who said to me they think 2025 was more fitting for the anniversary lineup and they couldn't be more correct, in the very top lineups they've ever put out. Its not as plain and simple as you've put.
