Cato Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm keeping an open mind - I loved his first 3 albums but he went a bit weird after that (Both musically & in his personal life). Still, JayZ absolutely stormed the Pyramid a few years ago, as long as Kanye doesn't go for a million costume changes or go off on a 20 minute rant about something I reckon he'll probably do pretty well. If nothing else I'd be expecting some world class musicians on that stage with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0175westwood29 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 not for me, im guessing hes gonna have jay-z and beyonce come and sing from the rumours, there will be a good reaction from the crowd and it will be reported as a awesome performance. like i said not for me andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Already switched over. Gone on the red button options and now watching Mavis Staples, great backing band, guitarist has lovely feel and tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72deluxe Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) No band! Those guys on the folk stages have a vocalist with a laptop, and on the main stage we have a vocalist with a laptop.... EDIT: An angry vocalist with a laptop. And a million lights. Edited June 27, 2015 by 72deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm not near a Tellybox, is he getting bottled? Please tell me the ego-maniac is being bottled?! I wondered whether he'd have the gall to turn up without a band....proven correct :-/ Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 [quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1435442684' post='2808900'] Twitter has just about melted and it's mainly positive. [/quote] That's what happens when you follow people with the same tastes as you. You get a biased view. My Twitter feed has also melted. But not positively. I watched two numbers. I didn't understand it. It's obviously some kind of high art but doesn't appeal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnythenotes Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This is the worst live ' music ' I have ever seen...every time I turn the tv back to see if he's finished, he still on... just pay him off, and get some music on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Not being a Kanye fan and only having heard a handful of his songs on the radio, I've watched with an open mind and can honestly say I think he's very talented. I'm enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Regardless of whether people like him or not (I thought his first album was great), I think it's pretty shoddy to turn up for a headliner slot without a great band. It's the one thing live hip-hop does brilliantly (usually). Just lazy! Is there much of a 'show' at all? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm sorry, I don't like being negative...but in my opinion it is just absolutely dire. Headline at Glastonbury? If he was playing in my back garden I would tell him to shut up and close the curtains. The crowd seem to be enjoying it - however I find if awful...I just don't get it. Kanye - [i]"Rap is the new rock and roll, and as the biggest rap star in the world I am the biggest rock and roll star in the world"[/i] Eh, no it isn't and no you're not. Rant over.

timmo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I had the choice of that, or learn a Deep Purple song. Didn`t take me long, but it was always going to be more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Freddie has just turned over in his grave. I can't believe he tried to sing Bohemien Rapsody - diabolical. IMO - this guy lacks talent and should never be headlining a major festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I've watched it all so far - trying to be open-minded and like it but.. what a pile of absolute sh*(e. The worst part, and there are many, was his attempt to sing along with Queen. Flat and tuneless. Dreadful. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Earlier I wrote '[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If nothing else I'd be expecting some world class musicians on that stage with him.'[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Now I feel like a bit of a plonker.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Anyway, once I got over the shock & indignation at the lack of band I quite enjoyed it. I'm still not sure about the auto-tune stuff and his need to feed his ego (eg. getting the crowd to sing Bohemian Rhapsody with him just so he could feel like a classic rock star) is somewhere between comedic & pathetic, but over all I enjoyed it more than not.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I understand hip-hop can raise very strong emotions in those who are not fans of the genre - It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same stuff.

TimR Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I like hip hop. Was that hip hop? I thought it was more like RnB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
