    It was Palm Desert, California. Not palm springs. My mistake. Kyuss formed in this scene and when Kyuss split, Josh went on to form QOTSA

    If everyone had the same musical taste then we would all just listen to Michael Buble and that's not a world I want to live in. Frank Sinatra once used his mafia connections to get live rock music banned in Palm Springs because he didn't like it. That forced the local kids to go out to the desert with generators and make music which is where stoner metal started and eventually led to Queens Of The Stone Age. So I guess maybe banning what you don't like is good? I don't know now, I've forgotten where I was going with this.

    Wasn't most of Elton's music created decades ago? And since that was his last show, its not being performed any more.

    That's 15 musicians out of literally thousands

    I guarantee I've played with worse and his English was worse.

    My band has been offered a really good gig in London but with ULEZ charge and parking for two vehicles (or hiring one) it's just too expensive. Still tempting though, I think it'll be a fun gig

    What about the flags? No one can possibly see the stage past the flags. Oh and the liberal political indoctrination, don't forget that.

    I was disappointed when Joey Costillo left QOTSA but I think Jon Theodore is their best drummer so far

    Bloody foreigner, lefty, liberal, woke, communist, union supporting, extinction rebeliing, environmentalist, lefty, oil stopping, marxist, liberal, socialist elite. Who the hell does he think he is? At least that'll be the GB News/Daily Mail take on it.

    They're too rich and important to arrive with the common people I guess.

    How many of the hundreds of food vans are running on diesel generators though? The Arcadia spider can't be particularly environmentally friendly with those massive flame throwers

    One - Metallica

    I'm watching Editors now. I definitely recommend checking out their set on iplayer. Excellent performance

    Thunderbird - Seasick Steve

    Bastard? We've all had one or two of them

    There's been helicopters going back and forth all day today taking rich punters back to London. Not very environmentally friendly having all those helicopters taking people in and out of the festival. I always thought it was just for the headline artists but anyone with enough cash can arrive by chopper. They like to claim its all very green but there's tens of thousands of cars, probably hundreds of generators and a mountain of rubbish.

    I saw Blur headline Glastonbury several years ago. Couldn't even hear any bass due to the terrible sound

    Just looked on the social media this morning. Daily Mail and GB News (I follow neither) both have less than positive articles about Elton and then I made the mistake of looking at the comments which nearly all related to his sexuality and political views rather than music. I haven't watched any of his set yet, I watched QOTSA live last night, they were extremely good. I'll watch Elton later

    Apparatus Elton said to Josh Homme "have fun playing to four people" The man has a sense of humour. QOTSA are absolutely brilliant so far and there's at least twelve people. Maybe more

    Slowdive are really very good. Very spaced out shoegaze rock. Excellent set.

    It's getting really tight that is screwing with me. I don't ever play anything else where you play several bars in a row of just one note at solid quater notes and somehow I now find that difficult to play tight. The bridge with the octave jumps is just hard at the speed we play it, 180bpm. I've trued it with a pick and fingers but it's just hard to play eighth notes alternating between the A and G strings. I'm tempted to cheat and just play power chords!

    He's a bit of an old punk. Having the fanciest, most expensive instrument wouldn't suit him. I'm not convinced you'd even hear the difference between a Mexican P bass and the top level US P bass in a heavy rock mix anyway. No one other than a bassist would ever notice the difference anyway

    I'm about 15 miles from the Pilton Pop Festival site. I just went out in the garden and I can hear bass guitar and drums pretty clear tonight.
