  1. I saw them on their first tour and they were amazing live. Watching them now on TV, they have lost that energy they used to have. I'll agree with your meh
  2. McCartney is there. Side of the stage watching Foo Fighters
  3. There are literally hundreds of food sellers and just about every type of food you can imagine. Buy some chips within a hundred yards of the pyramid field and you will pay an extortionate price for a small portion of terrible chips. Walk another 5 minutes and you'll get some amazing jerk chicken with rice and peas for less. There are so many food sellers that they're quite competitive away from the big stages
  4. I've seen them a few times and they're great BUT the three hour set with 45 minutes of acoustic material in the middle was too long and killed the energy in the middle of the set. They are one of the rock greats though up there with the very best. Was that Paul McCartney on the balcony above the stage?
  5. I thought he played with fingers but seems to be using a pick now.
  6. Playing to a crowd the size Foo Fighters are playing to would cause some underwear soiling. I'm a bit nervous about playing to one hundred next month and there's probably a thousand times that number there
  7. The P bass is the standard. Boring, functional, gets the job done. I insisted I'd never have one because they're so common. I currently have 3 basses, all Fender P basses
  8. Dave Grohl has been spotted back stage so I'm guessing it's the Foo Fighters. Unless it's Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme is there. John Paul Jones has been spotted local yesterday.
  9. I saw a recent picture of Axl Rose and he looks just like Mina Caputo (Life of Agony).
  10. I'll put a fiver on it not being Axl Rose. Elton is a bit of a fan of noisier rock music though. I'll guess Dave Grohl will be one of Eltons guests.
  11. Driving myself is the only option. There is no public transport. Both band mates live in the opposite direction. Can't carry a 4x10 cab and two basses on my motorbike. I've got a bit of a scruffy old Skoda Roomster which is the perfect car for the job. Small, cheap and I can get an enormous amount of gear in it. It's do ugly and uncool I can park it anywhere and it won't get stolen
  12. I just realised Elton is at Glastonbury and Dave Grohl is there as well. Both of them have played on Queens Of The Stone Age records so I wonder whether either will join QOTSA on stage on Sunday evening.
  13. I wish I could have gone, I love a bit of Rancid. It was The Skints and Grade 2 supporting as well wasn't it? Both great bands
  14. My old neighbour learned to play the didgeridoo at Glastonbury. Maybe it was the same person who taught him. We enjoyed him practicing in his garden in the evening for a while but after three weeks of two hours every evening it lost its appeal
  15. I remember an article in the Daily Sport (a fine publication) which said that a tower block in Swindon had the highest rate on inbreeding in the country. Anyway, back on topic. The helicopters have started going back and forth to the festival. About one every half hour today. By Friday it'll be three or four times that many at least. Very environmentally friendly.
  16. Liar. The people of Midsomer Norton do not marry outsiders by which I mean outside the family
  17. I work in Midsomer Norton. Be careful there, its a strange place.
  18. I saw Slash's band there several years ago and was really disappointed. They played far too many GNR songs and it was just like seeing a covers band play the pyramid stage. If I was there this year I'd be seeing Skindred, The Damned, Viagra Boys and QOTSA and just spend the rest of the weekend wandering around just watching random stuff, drinking poor quality, warm beer, sampling different food and confusing people who have had too many psychedelic drugs.
  19. The end - The Doors
  20. Speakers have far more effect on tone than amps
  21. 50 million year trip - Kyuss
  22. It may effect the point at which the valves start to overdrive very marginally but as has been shown in many experiments, valves don't effect tone. Could be the air density in the room.
  23. Inside - Stiltskin
  24. Nancy boy - Placebo
  25. Sharp dressed man - ZZ Top
