lendan Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Coldplay had the likes of Ed Sheeran and Stromzy on their recent tour, on the night we went it was Alan Partridge - i've never been so dissappointed, although some here will say AP is better than ES!!!

Tbh, I've never seen a special guest and been starstruck on the Pyramid. I would've had just a good a time at Elton if none of his special guests had come out. Didn't give a sh*t either when Grohl came out for GnR. But then, that's probably because I'm not huge fans of those particular performers either. However, if De La Soul were performing and someone like Q-Tip had come out, I'd of been a lot more interested. Or if Sault were playing and Andre 3000 came out, I'd like that a lot.

If a band is good enough, they don't need guests. Guests are really for casual spectators and the BBC audience, in my opinion, unless it's for example Nick Cave bringing Kylie Minogue on for the duet that they originally sang together - that's okay.

Bruce Springsteen coming out with Macca was a wow moment for me, gotta be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watergirl Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 6 hours ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: It's Elton John. Is that not enough? It turned out to be Brandon Flowers and a couple other lesser known artists. Probably didn't add anything at all to the overall performance. I actually thought it was really nice of Elton to bring on some up and coming artists rather than the big names people had been speculating over. Using his slot to give younger artists some exposure. Still, he would have been absolutely fine without them. If I am a really big fan of someone I don't like it if guests take away valuable time in the set!

Avalon_Fields Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Yeah, I'm summarise it all as: if the guest is directly relevant to the song, or adds something important to it, it's a good thing. If it's just 'hey look at my famous friends' and it's more of a distraction to the set, then forget it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't even considered it as a possibility and we basically cried. That year my wife and I were told by a young Australian in a bar on the Wednesday that Grohl and Springsteen were going to guest with McCartney - she said that her brother was working on the McCartney tour. I kept telling people over the weekend despite having no real reason to believe it. The National have done some recent collaborations with Taylor Swift, so I think I'll start that one this year!

For some it's a huge moment, to others it's a bit meh. Completely depends on the artists involved and your own particular tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe return the favour with Avril. In my fevered imagination she’ll want to have a look at the view from the headlining position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
