Admin phantom Posted June 24, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I wonder how feasible it was that Alex Turner wasn't actually well enough to sing, but were pushed into performing by record labels etc Hence the lacklustre set 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm glad others have heard what I do with the Arctic Monkeys... It's Vic Reeves as the pub singer...always has been. Totally overacted band imo. And if you think that's bad, you'll have your mind blown by Elton John...totally past it now. This is him now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree about Elton John: been past it for ages. But I still think it will be good. They are good songs, and guests, the band and the crowd will all carry it, regardless of his voice.

I heard a few rumours it could be Kate Bush! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotswoldred2 Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Monkeys were terrible, but alas we have Elton to look forward to...not. I replay REM just to remind me what a great Glastonbury set looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Can't believe the slating Arctic Monkeys are geting from some. I wasn't too familiar with their stuff before last night, but I thought they were superb. Thinking man's music after the same old noise assault stuff from The FF. BTW, only heard one song from someone who's name I have forgotten. An all girl band with a dreamy sound. Can somebody help? I enjoyed what I heard of them.

Norn Iron Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Pretenders are on tonight at 7.45pm, Park stage. BBC iplayer has it. I had the privilege of seeing them last month in Belfast in a small venue. Until that gig, I had always underestimated Chrissie's rhythm guitar playing. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. If you want to see and hear what a modern day electric lead guitarist should sound like, then listen to James Walbourne. I was so impressed by him. He's been with them for a few years now, but boy can he play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I've only seen Arctic Monkeys once live. In 2006 when I was 18, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not had come out, but Favourite Worst Nightmare hadn't. At that age, in that small hall in Exeter, and having listened to that first album so much, that show meant something. Turner was young, raw, still Sheffield, and lager, and lads lads lads to the core. They were bloody brilliant and that night in the summer of '06 is one of the best nights of my life. We've all got albums that we listened to as teenagers/young adults, and they sit with you. Songs like Riot Van, Red Lights Indicate Doors Are Secured, and Still Take You Home mean something to me. That album together with Hot Fuzz, those are the two albums of my youth. For me Arctic Monkeys are bloody brilliant because they were releasing stuff like that at the right moment in my life. I fell away from them later on. Don't particularly love their recent stuff, and it's a shame they're no longer delivering for everyone. But there may be an 18 year old out there who stood in that field and felt something. And if they did, then it's a good set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic for him to play the drums on the pyramid Whenever he's interviewed, he comes across as a top bloke who doesn’t take himself too seriously and clearly still loves what he does. I saw him when he was the warmup act for Peter Kay during his tour 15 years or so ago. There was a danger that he could have been seen as a joke figure but he went down a storm, it helped that a significant proportion of the crowd were women who would have been fans during his heyday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the same bracket as the Kaiser Chiefs...been around for ages, and no one knows any difference. Shocking. If you want thinking man's music check out later Talk Talk and Mark Hollis.

Doesn't mean to say that everything you don't like is shit. It's about personal taste. Why would you let any band get to you ? One man's meat and all that.

But put Mark Hollis and AMs in same sentence is sacralidge. I think over time you'll see it. AM don't come under ' thinking man's music ' however way you look at it.
