Super Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Stones = Kings new clothes Jagger can't sing for toffee now, flat as a witches tit, painfull, give up Who's the third guitarist?

TV Tom Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Spot on. Washed up. Mick's in his 70th year, what do you expect from him, i thought he was great and what a stage presence, a true entertainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunnyfunt Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Exactly, don't know your age, but my generation did it first and best. All just a rehash of original 60's and 70's ! Amazingly, just saw my son in the front of the crowd , he's working there so obviously got pick of places .How is Chase & Status a rehash of 60's and 70's music? What a performance mind. Out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted June 30, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wtf is seasick Steve all about. Utter garbage.I've seen him live at another festival, I thought he'd be a bit too bluesy for me, but he was great, probably better live than on TV. He appeared with the bass player from the biggest band of the 70's and 80's, John Paul Jones. He used to be a busker/hobo and has now finally made a few quid in his twilight years. His first mainstream album has a great name "I started out with nothin and still got most of it left" Had to laugh this morning, someone on R5 said the Stones look like the Wonga puppets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Arctic Monkeys were awesome Friday night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wjeVfULGo By far the best of the headliners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tins Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Anyone catch Mumford and Sons? Excellent, especially bringing on acts like Vampire Weekend, The Vaccines etc to sing "Little Help From My Friends" Epic ending to the festival.

Kid in the Riot Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Stones = Kings new clothes Jagger can't sing for toffee now, flat as a witches tit, painfull, give up Jagger never has been able to 'sing' as such but then do you have to for a rock n roll band?! Just watching Bobby Womack, same age as Jagger and he's a chap who really CAN sing! Vampire Weekend looked good and the Arctic Monkeys were class, what a frontman Alex Turner is turning into. Can't wait for their new album out in Sept. Talking of great frontmen, here comes Nick Cave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyseconds Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Twenty five years after I first saw Public Image Ltd who were the antithesis of commercial on TV there it was again, minus Levene and the mighty Wobble. On came Mr Lydon, on it waddled like a Womble that had eaten a life times free supply of country life butter. That man defined my record collection, no Rotten, no clash, joy division, killing joke, no punk, no DIY/indie really. I thought I am going to hate this rat bastard sell out. Newtons law was observed IT could barely move anymore, but the voice, intensity and rythmes were mesmerising. Rise sublime. Public Image ... Mettalic guitar still a thing of beauty even though it's responsible for U2's career. Beautiful .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Pretty disappointed with many acts this year especially chase and status,arctic monkeys and the stones,infact i could hardly watch the stones it was like they have been let out of their care home for the night! Best performances for me were Portishead and Public Enemy........fight the power!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcbs20 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 It was amazing I had such a good time met some sound as fuc# people got wasted and had the time of my life I imagine it would be pretty crap if your just watching it on the tele but if you were there then well it's another story bring on next year.

cider-manc Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I had an amazing time, but if I honest I can't help but wonder how many of the popular acts of the moment are just that- how many will still be relevant in say ten years time? To me the highlights were the likes of Amanda Palmer, chic, nick cave and bobby womack. The hives should get an honorable mention for having one of the most entertaining frontmen around. And although I don't like them as a band there is no denying the presence of liam Gallagher for beady eye. I also stumbled across a reggae dub group on the blues stage called dub from atlantis who were great and was also amusing to watch how badly some of the crowd danced to them!

I understand that, but what I meant was that I grew up in awe of my parents telling stories of the legendary bands they saw- if I have kids one day I can't see them being excited about the fact that I saw vampire weekend (and this isn't me having a pop at any of these bands). Also I cant imagine any of these type of bands being asked to headline on their 50th anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
