toneknob Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I watched Robert Plant's set this morning - for someone who doesn't want to play with Led Zeppelin, he played an awful lot of Led Zep songs, and the same ones he's been playing for ages. I love him but I'm glad I held off getting tickets for his tour later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Metallica: I downloaded the set on iPlayer, have half-watched about about an hour while ironing (something to do with hot metal) Got a bit bored with it to be honest. I'll watch the rest as I'm a big fan of Enter Sandman (it was the first song I learned to play all the way through when I was a nipper you see). This was funny though: say yeah if you want the earth to be a better place yeah! say woo if you love your brothers and sisters! woo! say yay if you're nice to people! yay! awRITE, this is a our new song it's called Ebola-Encrusted Poison Pustule On The Tip Of A ICBM Heading Your Way Hahaha atwothreefour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I suppose the music you grow up with makes it more personal to you. I love ozzy and dio era sabbath but by the time I started to get into them (1990 ish) they were more of a history lesson in metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Finally got around to watching the whole Pixies set and (being a fan) really enjoyed it. What struck me was the creative camerawork; some really interesting angles with objects of interest (individual band members; the stage) often placed towards the edge of frame. http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/errnc8/acts/amxwrz#p021gz53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyDog Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) For anyone who's interested, this is the moment when the BBC thoughtfully gave us a lovely view of the Foster The People bassist's pedalboard. Yes, I was sad enough to take a picture of my telly. God, I really need to get out more [sharedmedia=core:attachments:166076] Edited July 3, 2014 by UglyDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen him live since 1995 and much against my expectations found myself warming to the old codger again so I will go see him in Nov.

BetaFunk Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I love Glasto. It's lovely and quiet around where i live when it's on. Even if we are only hipster free for weekend it's still a wonderful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm STILL working my way through the back log of sets on the Beeb's site(Also watched Drenge in full. Saw Kasabian & The Kaisers again. Nearly finished the Warpaint one. Still got to watch Interpol, Foster The People, Metronomy, Jimi Goodwin, Mogwai... and EVERYTHING else at this rate! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) I too have been watching some more Glasto sets on the I Player, and St Vincent were pretty interesting, despite their very contrived efforts to be annoyingly offbeat , weird and a bit Lady GaGa-llike theatrical. She is a good guitarist and I really like 1980's vibe to the sound of the band . Edited July 4, 2014 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably go to some festival we have never heard of held in November at a secret location in rural Wales where the hippest DJ's are flown in from Japan and Outer Mongolia to provide a soundtrack to the burning of effigies while everybody is off their bonce on a new designer drug made from scouring powder and meat paste .
