The Great Rock & Roll Swindle.....

[Ming The Mercyless]

Come on Paul! No festival line up will ever be as bad as Sunday at last years IOW. The Rolling Pensioners, Keane, The Fratellis, James Morrison, Paulo Nutini and Melanie C! Insultingly bad.

Good call Chownsy I was wondering if you'd go to Bestival in 2008.

See you there in fancy dress!!

[Ming The Mercyless]

Absolutely!

Did we ascertain if there are any tic's still avail?

[russellelly]

I feel sorry for you LA as it means they have you over a barrel now for the next three years so they can book shite acts for the next three years to see how long people will continue to throw bad money after bad money year after year!

Can you afford to do Bestial as well honey?

[Ming The Mercyless]

Giddings cant use festival first as a way to book rubbish - as a proportion of the total tickets they are still fairly low. Pending suitability with dates and acts I may try Bestival, but not as a substitute.

Bestival Andrew?

It's only down the road for you!!!

[Andrew_iow]

Im tempted, but ill wait and see whos there and how many pennys I have!!!

Dont understand why people are dissapointed with the pistols? I think it'll go either one of 2 ways, one of the best headline slots or one of the worst, I personally think it will turn out one of the best in the festivals history, anythings gotta be better than bloody snow patrol!! I definately want a holiday in the sun!

I personally think that the pistols will be great, seen them in 1996 at Finsbury Park and the atmosphere was brilliant, mix that with the good weather we always get and theres not much more you can ask for except some cold beers.

And like someone said earlier they can't be any worse than Snow Patrol!!!

So i'm more than happy!!!

[Ming The Mercyless]

But not as a Headliner!!!!

I would imagine the Pistols will be either extremely exciting, raw as it it gets, crowd pleasing mayhem or a bitter disappointment.I'm gonna see how the rest of it shapes up before I make any commitment (still there's always the weather and the girls.....)

[Edi M]

Well each to there own. All the more tickets for us less fussy sort. Vote with your feet people

I would never have gone to see The Rolling stones in million years, but they were alright. It's what festivals are all about.

[Edi M]

I havent seen a positive review of the Sex Pistols anywhere

[Ming The Mercyless]

The Guardian & BBC reviews aren't really positive they just don't say they were shit - exactly the point I have been making - they aren't a headline band that would be worthy of a major leading festival!!!

Time will tell...........!

I wander what the average age is at IOW??? Guess that will have a bearing on how popular they might be......
