Anyone been watching the coverage on the BBC? Highlights so far? What're looking forward to tomorrow? I've enjoyed Morrissey, Vaccines, Wombats, Jimmy Cliff, Paolo Nutini, Pulp, Primal Scream, Elbow and Coldplay, who were awesome tonight. Really, really wish I was there!
Coldplay were ****, they should stick to playing their new album tunes at their own gigs. I'd have been ****ed right off if I spent 4 days in the mud to see a headline act and I didn't know any of their songs.
Can't be bothered with the whole main stream muddy mess, go to a bar and watch a band it's much more fun.
Elbow put in a good shift as usual Millens. And Glastonburys been ****e since they put that gert big fence up, errr.... luv!
Och, bollox. Let's not fanny about. U2 went through the motions; was absolutely devoid of effort and you could tell by the crowd. Coldplay? Never understood the hype. Paul Oakenfold did them big favours when remixing some of their tunes, but they ain't headline material. Beyonce? FFS, appeasement to the P.C brigade or what? Blur (not really big on them) brought it back to life the other year as they put on a real good, from the heart gig. These lot have brought it down a level. It needs a reformation of The Smiths or The Stone Roses next year to make it a bit more credible. This year will be remembered as "Commercial Year"
Mumford & Sons looked dull on the BBC they were so good in that tent thing last year that it was a pity.
Glastonbury is ****e, will always be ****e. Sonisphere or Download are much better these days, until they get commercialised too, then they'll be ****e as well. Everything turns to ****e in the end. COMMERCIALISM RUINS EVERYTHING!
Highligfht so far - Anna Calvi (as expected). I thought U2 were great, and I don't care who knows it. Elbow - great. Would love to see Pulp but I understand their set was recorded in audio only. Fleet Foxes - great. Coldplay - well I was due for an early night in bed so thanks to them for affording me the opportunity. Will want to try and catch Laura Marling, Paul Simon and Kaiser Cheifs today. Though unfortunately as the Kaisers new album is out tomorrow I suspect we will be "treated" to a selection of songs we've never heard of.
Primal Scream were ****ing amazing. Took U2 to school. I hate U2, not the music, the men. the edge? jesus **** that prodigy vid is class, favourite live band for me
this gave me a rager when it came on. I just stuck it on through the panasonic badboy there. neighbours are lovin it probs. this song must have been made under the influence. it's too good
J'sus, it's a fecking music festival and I would suggest shouldn't be on the television. Those who actually PAY money to watch lots of different music at the various stages, in the wet have a voice, those of us who pay nowt and want everything, have none. The Smiths, Stone Roses.....wtf, this 2011 not 1985 - 1990, those old yins have had their time and stopped playing together and that's the way it should remain (and I say that as a Smiths fan). Get new bands or new talent on these stages, not reformed bands. I'm all for headline acts, perhaps that's why some people pay to go, but I would suggest that vast majority remember the unknown band they watched and really enjoyed, perhaps in one of the small stages. My big gripe of any music festival, is that is MUST contain actual musicians, not arseholes playing records and jumping up and down, that's not music, it's a ****er on stage suffering from a massive ADHD attack.
seems to be a lot of people whose main gripe with Edge/The Edge (and to a lesser extent Bono) is that he is known by that particular name, rather than his proper name. What is the problem? They are just nicknames they got when they were young, created by other people, that stuck, that's all. I don't hear people slating Mani for going by the name Mani. Ringo tends to get slated for being a tosser, rather than for being known by his nickname.
