Glastonbury 2023

[Somethingfishy]

The most left crisps available, Lancs?

(And yes, I’m joking)

Ready salted then? After all...they usually come in a red bag.

[Spiral]

All you muppets watching GnR and I'm here watching Christine and the Queens and she's done virtually an entire set with het tits out I'm not even joking no top on just some tape over her nips she's incredible truly incredible you've been watching fat old men playing songs nobody needs to hear again I've been watching art and boobs

[helmclaret]

Well they’ve cut LDR off. Which will no doubt delight a few on here.

[Spiral]

Get the woodsies stage on iplayer and rewind it, she's incredible

[Darthlaw]

Dave Grohl comes out for Paradise city…

Just wow.

[Vegas Claret]

Or you’ve been on the herb, seen as it’s legal over there.

In fairness, you couldn’t even name Alex Turner, whilst knowing who Axl Rose is, so I’m guessing you’re just being argumentative for the hell of it.

I'm not being argumentative at all, I'm just calling out your nonsense. I don't like 'bands' in general, not really my thing but I can appreciate the technicality of their abilities so I'm not really interested that I don't know many of their individual names. If you think AM won't be remembered I would say you are massively out of touch, of course Guns n Roses will be remembered, classic songs and back in his pomp AR had an amazing voice and nobody can dispute that. He clearly doesn't now though. I will say though that the sound engineers haven't helped him one jot, guitars are way too loud so he's having to strain even more which is a shame.

[Spiral]

Anyone getting the feeling David Grohl might've overstayed his welcome a bit? He seems to be everywhere. He'll prolly turn up in Bakhmut next week.

i've been watching fat old men porn whilst listening to gnr.

who is the real muppet?

[Spiral]

I'm not even being horny yTib I'm being serious. People talk about vulnerability on stage and whatnot and she's just gone to the next logical step in front of a national audience.

[yTib]

fat

old

men

[Spiral]

Greco-Roman statues all over the stage, Aphrodite and such, she's tapping into that aesthetic. It's really cool.

[Swizzlestick]

Grohl turning into the Nile Rodgers of rock. Omnipresent.

I’m saying GnR (and by default Axl) are popular and part of Zeitgeist, globally. Axl Rose (61) still held his own tonight.

Alex Turner (who you still can’t remember), 37, sounded poor last night (because laryngitis) and has already changed his style.
Despite being an amazing songwriter will probably be consigned to UK (possibly US) fame.

It’s quite surprising that as someone based in the states you’re not getting this. Do yourself a favour and ask a few people today if they know who Axl Rose is and who Alex Turner is. The results might surprise you.

He’s a complete butt suck

[yTib]

if the arctics are still headlining in 30 years you will probably be right.

Just watching The Lathums set -great band

[yTib]

half man half biscuit had it right.

glasto. yuck.

i used to go to reading every year before it turned into an anti-social yobfest. or maybe i just got old.

I thought it was Iggy Pop at first

wtf are you on about, we aren't talking about who is more famous - you claimed AR out sung the other guy and that's beyond laughable on any technical level. You've now gone off on a tangent. Anyway, enjoy the rest of Glasto

[yTib]

I thought it was Iggy Pop at first

i too thought it was iggy pop...

as an extra on the walking dead.

if that titillates you then may i introduce you to actual pornography?

The 61 year old did outsing the 37 year old, technically and, to anyone with ears, objectively.

Laugh away but consider no one is laughing with you, particularly considering the comments against AM last night and in favour of GnR tonight.

Ready salted btw.

Enjoy the rest of Glasto too. They have sign language on IPlayer to help you out btw

It's not about being titillating, it's just really different and that's cool. I think the whole man nips = OK, woman nips = not OK is a weird double standard. It's just a body. A woman doing a mainstream festival headline set without a top on is kinda transgressive, I love it. I don't see any lewdness or prurience in it, I see subversion. Best stuff at Glastonbury is the cool original stuff, not the nostalgia acts.

[yTib]

i've got ears. not the vulcan type but human ones.

they were both underwhelming.

but rather arguments over music than phillip schofield.

[yTib]

spriral i saw nips. nips.

[Spiral]

Technically there were no nips (taped over), but you get the idea.

[yTib]

i get your idea you sauce

[Spiral]

Did anyone expect this thread to turn into a conversation about nips? Me neither. Love this forum at times.

[yTib]

i expect every thread to ascend into women's partslys.

only now has my fantasy been reaslised.

[Sheedyclaret]

Surprised AC/DC have never done Glastonbury

[ArmchairDetective]

Anyone know the Lathums that owned a farm in Cliviger years ago?

Fat Boy Slim's set has been brilliant by the way.

[yTib]

Surprised AC/DC have never done Glastonbury

me too but about george formby.

he would've wrapped his ferking ukulele right round lauren laverne's heed.

she'd be cleaning windas all the way back to ponteland.

[fidelcastro]

Surprised AC/DC have never done Glastonbury

There's time yet.

[yTib]

i've never heard a bad set by fbs. a proper audiophile.

[JohnMcGreal]

Shambolic stuff on the LDR set. Turned up 30 minutes late and then couldn't perform past midnight. Mic and music cut, 8 songs short. Crowd booing and then singing Video Games back at her with no music or mic.

What she performed was great but she's really left the crowd shortchanged there. Poor do.

It's all about the nip, not the t!t.

That's what I bear in mind when reading some of the posters on here, anyway

Bit odd that FBS could perform his dance music set past midnight yet LDR had to cut hers. AM performed past midnight on the Pyramid last night too. I can only assume the location of the stage means they have to finish earlier for the locals?

the last thing you are being is objective

[dermotdermot]

I’m not watching it this year. I knew that the headline acts would be useless this year and by all accounts they have. Elton John tomorrow. I can’t wait!

[Down_Rover]

Recent is a subjective term…….. Talking Heads.

Muse

Another vote for Talking heads

Roxy Music would have been sendational

[TheFamilyCat]

Anything to mask over the incredible dullness of her music, I suppose.

[clarets12]

Ignore him. One of the board's bellends.

[ChrisG]

Rick Astley and Blossoms doing The Smiths. Absolutely superb set.

[Tricky Trevor]

The argument above about AR & AT is pointless as they are two different genres. AR is a rock singer with a big rock voice that is past it’s best but he still put on a good show considering the mix was against him. AT is an interpreter of his own lyrics and does a very good job of it but hasn’t got a rock voice at all.
IMO they put on a very good show and Slash was sensational, MOTM.

[Clovius Boofus]

Some people on here could do with getting out a bit more.

Arguing online about something as subjective as music is akin to repeatedly hitting yourself in the face with a hammer.

As long as it’s done with rhythm.

Good point, but it will end up giving them the blues.

Great is a bit ott, but one of the few I could be just about arsed to watch amidst all the surrounding geriatric pap.

The fat lad in a kilt was vaguely bearable on Friday. (Gabriel's?)

[Sproggy]

Rick Astley and Blossoms doing The Smiths. Absolutely superb set.

Yep. Tuned into that expecting a car crash and really enjoyed it. When you lay the songs out like that, the Smiths back catalogue is superb. And Blossoms are seriously talented musicians.
