ubit Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Heard that due to Dave having to cancel gigs, that Glastonbury has decided to put Florence and the machine on in their place. Maybe it's because I'm predominantly a rock fan, but I just think this is ridiculous! Sorry to any Florence fans but I don't think she is fit to lace up Dave Grohls broken legged boots! I would, if I was going to Glastonbury this year, be trying hard to avoid both Florence and Kanye! Just my tuppence worth!

discreet Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 All relative and down to personal taste, etc. etc. but as far as I'm concerned Florence is no singer. My opinion, of course.

Ant Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 as above, if i was heading to glastonbury i'd 100% be going to see Kanye. i'd even go just to watch him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 safe TV bet rather than considering those who have bought tickets to see particular style of music - The Darkness are primed ready to go new album etc ?? would have been a better fit could have been worse i guess https://youtu.be/2Z4m4lnjxkY?list=PLYDp0FEwActHo0eLYacIzeM9WosT4tda5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassistclem Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I AM Going! Yes very disappointed at the Foo Fighters pulling out. Was planning to see Florance but quite agree she is not up to headliner status. There is still a gap in the schedule where Florance was so hopefully something half decent will fill its place. Also not impressed with the sh*te headlining the Pyramid Saturday night but there is a good evening in the Acoustic tent and the John Peel stage so I'm sorted, Texas, Andy Fairweather Low with Paul Carrick and Nick Lowe, Moody blues then off to see Suede. Thank heavens for The Who starring Pino on Sunday......oh and Lionel of course!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm disappointed myself as we had tickets for the Murrayfield gig, had booked accommodation , taken holidays etc. but at least I don't have to put up with a poor substitute.

Musicman20 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Weller/The Who will be class. I'd see Kanye as well...nice break from usual rock/indie. Florence? Nope. Never warmed to her and her band. Obviously very good but I just don't like the music and I think it's her voice that I don't like. I've now got a ticket to London with no gig due to leg break gate, but Blur tickets are on the cards.

HazBeen Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I will gladly fill the vacant position with my band....... We'd be as loud at least. No calls yet though for some reason. As for Kanye I really appreciate him using his status to give upcoming artists like Paul Macca a break (I kid you not, this was a comment on FB after the recent pairing). As for Florence, I quite like her but would agree if you are expecting the Foos it would be a little different...... They may still call me.

Roland Rock Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm a bit Foo'd out when it comes to feativals. However, although I don't mind FATM's studio stuff, I really don't like her voice live. It's all moot anyway as I'm not going. No biggie. Life goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I like Florence, at least she's different which is a breath of fresh air these days, I think she'd have done ok in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 You could replace them with any old bollocks really! However, the best way would be to get a band who have a song that rocks a little bit or is soft in the verse. Then a chorus that rocks a little bit more. Repeat, then do the last chorus but with shouting. You could even maybe go really quiet for a little bit before the shouting. Then repeat this formula in every song choosing which type of verse you want and whether to have a quiet bit before the shouting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Much as I'd love to see AC/DC play the festival I doubt they'd ever do it. Firstly Glastonbury pays absolute buttons, even to the headliners (its more about raising money for various environmental charities) & AC/DC aren't known for playing for free. Secondly AC/DC like to have 100% control of their staging, who films their performance, who makes the sound recording. A couple of years ago they made the Download organisers jump through a million hoops, set up their own super-secure AC/DC personnel only compound on the site & banned the broadcast of their performance. No single artist would ever get away with that at Glastonbury, its just too big for the organisers to give that much attention & room to one band.
