Roland Rock Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I quite like the recorded songs I've heard, so will check it out, despite my FB feed being full of seething criticism from those there and those who watched on TV. Slightly OT, but the only thing I've heard so far was Florence's set on the radio - cringingly bad 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Was like watching a mental patient rant inside a large microwave oven / breville toasted sandwich maker. Shouty nursery rhymes over samples of tunes other people have created. Over - hyped nonsense in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny_Innie Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Kanye smashed it. The haters ain't ever gonna "get it". Pure Kanye last night. Just him in the light. Piled on all of the hits right from the gun. Loved it. This is music 2015 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I liked some of it, and some parts were awful. I liked the fact that he didn't bring a band - he brought the club, his real show, to the field. That worked for me. Some of the material is very weak though. Still, a million times more enjoyable that Florence (for me). My faves so far have been Young Fathers, Vintage Trouble, and the Mothership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 What was the karaoke version of Bohemian Rapsody all about? I just watched it. Truly awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hater or plater, there is no getting away from it. It was awful. Just when you needed a hard drive to crash, it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I'm not into the Karaoke/backing track style of presenting a show whatever kind of music. So boring to watch. Edited June 28, 2015 by Spoombung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Having watched quite a bit of the set on Youtube, i think it was lucky that Jay Z was the first rapper to play Glastonbury. If Kanye had been the first ever rapper, i don`t think anymore would have been invited back. I don`t like rap, but Jay Z was a great success in my opinion( not that it is worth that much). Sadly, Kanye just bombed for me. There doesn`t seem to be many positive reviews anywhere on the net either.I think the BBC liked him, but i think they are either contractually obliged to be nice, or they are easily impressed.

steantval Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I thought the bass player was great No musicians on stage, just backing tracks, if this is Music 2015 we all might as well sell all our bass gear.

[/quote] Isn't in a museum somewhere? Probably sold to fund habits! Saw him twice in the 90s and that was great in patches but last night GC and band nailed it for me, 73 and still funkin!

The Telegraph only gave 3 stars. not really sounded like they loved it that much. Just very average, from the greatest ever living rock star.

LayDownThaFunk Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think social media is over estimated anyway. It made very little difference to the UK election and I'm not surprised. Twitter, like YouTube, is full of teenagers who can't even vote. Why would I take a 13 year old's opinion, someone with mother's milk still fresh on their face?!

I grew up in the 80s/90s, the formative years of Hip Hop. What I heard last night was NOT hip hop. Obviously he has fans but Glastonbury is no longer the place for a specialist artist to perform.

White Cloud Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's all subjective. If you loved it you loved it. If you hated it you hated it. I would rather visit the dentist for an extraction than watch it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just isn't, it's an electro RnB mumblefest. I'm listening to 'A Tribe Called Quest' right now as I type.

Leonard Smalls Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lee Nelson blew Kanye off the stage... Kanye's problem is that he thinks he has the force of personality and the talent to carry off being solo on stage with just a gigawatt of lights to keep him company. However, no amount of gesturing and posturing was going to disguise his poor and tuneless vocals. And by that I don't mean just his attempts at "singing" but his shouts sounded much more petulant than authoritative. If he'd had a band he could at least have played off them a bit. Perhaps if he'd taken more notice of the Parliamentarians last night who absolutely smashed it instead of just being an arrogant £%*@ he'd have appealed to more than just a few fanbois. After all, he's got some good songs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
