The Cat Posted 23 June, 2023 Share Posted 23 June, 2023 Went once, 1997. Got in for free but then no one paid back then. Forgot my sleeping bag and had no wellies. It was horrendously muddy, spent most of my time wandering around in an acid haze around the stone circle chatting to randoms. At one point we got chased through the mud by some hammered scousers because my mate sold them what they thought was a dodgy pill. Barely saw any bands although I did watch Aphex Twin in the dance tent before one of the toilet cleaning trucks sprayed shit inside the tent by mistake and they shut it down. We go to a lot of festivals but I don't really feel the urge to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to see bands who can change style and stay at the top for so long, much like Radiohead. Always find Glastonbury crowds weird. Not sure how there's no mosh pits for some of these songs.

Yeah the car and tranquility albums took a bit of time but both great albums. I would imagine most people are only there to see a few bands and fitting the rest in with what they fancy seeing. im not surprised you find the crowd weird they were singing “oh Jeremy Corbyn” a few years ago Our neighbours have gone. Two lesbians in their mid thirties who have hired a luxury mobile home for the weekend, which kind of sums up the crowd these days .

revolution saint Posted 23 June, 2023 Share Posted 23 June, 2023 Gotta be honest, bit underwhelmed by Arctic Monkeys. I wouldn't class myself as a massive fan but I've got "Whatever...." and "AM" on the jukebox and love them. Also got a copy of Last of the Shadow Puppets kicking around but the later stuff feels like too much like lounge music. All subjective (obviously) but not that impressed so far.

The later stuff is a real grower. Honestly the first time I listed to tranquility I thought what is this shite. But after about four or five goes it’s a good album as is The Car. I’m would say I was a massive fan either but they’ve done some great songs, every album is decent and Alex Turner is a very good front man.

Maybe she was putting him to bed in the hope you’d join her and smash her back doors in whilst you put Glastonbury on the bedroom Tv, she’s climaxing just as Alex Turner is belting “out are you mine”? another fantasy and opportunity missed young man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been ill, had to cancel Dublin gig to make sure they could play last night. Definitely wasn't at 100%. Rumours were they had planned to play a lot more old songs but reverted back to main tour set because not enough time to practice stuff they haven't played for a while.

Sheaf Saint Posted 25 June, 2023 Share Posted 25 June, 2023 This review of GNR doesn't pull any punches... https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/guns-n-roses-review-glastonbury-festival-b2363553.html "Rose makes the whole thing sound like a Muppet Show pastiche of hard rock. It’s his voice: a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box. Mumbling vague approximations of English words as if chronically constipated (if you’ve hit the goat curry hard enough, you’ll feel his intestinal pain), he flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies."

badgerx16 Posted 25 June, 2023 Share Posted 25 June, 2023 (edited) Rick Astley doing a cover of "Highway to Hell", on drums, in his own set, and an entire set of Smiths covers with Blossoms, Dave Grohl guesting with just about everybody, Manics were totally rank, GnR came acros as a couple of hours of white noise. Glasto is always a mix of highs, the unexpected, new discoveries, and disappointing anti-climax. Hopefully Elton John can draw the whole weekend to an appropriately over the top climax.
