I've been playing bass & guitar (in that order) for a little over 25 years & I quite enjoyed parts of his set, a lot of it didn't work for me (especially the autotune stuff) but I didn't find it as dreadful as a lot of people seemed to.

If you've ever spent time talking to someone who's coked off their nipples then elements of Kanye's interviews & his on stage rants start to sound strangely familiar.

jonnythenotes Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 All of these super rich people are so far removed from reality in terms of having no financial worries whatsoever, no outstanding bills or credit, they have access to anything they want regardless of cost, and all there chums are in the same boat. This must have an adverse affect on you mentally, in that the only thing to strive for, or worry about is making sure you are just as famous when you wake up the next morning as you were when you go to bed the night before, and also that there is no one else out there who is better than you...... Mirror mirror on the wall.... Quote

[/quote] A little unnecessary I think. If nothing else this has been an interesting thread and although the OP did provoke a bit of a response it was genuinely based around what is clearly her own honest opinion. There is definitely something unusually interesing about Kanye West's self belief and you wonder how much that plays a part in his success. Maybe it's like watching a train running along the tracks just because it looks like the wheels may just fall off in spectacular fashion at some point. Quote

miles'tone Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 He reminds me of early Oasis in a way. Take every opportunity to tell people that you're the best in the world and eventually enough people will believe you. Quote

Then we'd feel [i]sorry[/i] for him rather than [i]hate[/i] him. But we wouldn't respect him. Because he's a plank. Quote

ubit Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Glastonbury is no longer a music festival. People have their tickets bought long before any of the acts have been booked, so you never know who's going to be playing. There are so many stages and other things going on that it's become ridiculous Quote

There has always been (well since i used to go ) other things to do, but it was mainly about the music.It does appear that you can get a refund on the ticket if you don`t like the headliners. I think i read 4 people got one as they didn`t want Kanye West there. It has changed a lot though. Maybe the internet changed it. Years ago i would buy my ticket from HMV. You would see the poster in the shop of who was playing.I don`t think they used to sell any tickets until the line up was virtually complete. Quote
Froggy Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Selling the tickets before the lineup is announced just goes to show that it's not somewhere to go to see the acts but somewhere to go to say you're there. I do seem to remember there was another reason they started doing it but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Quote

It's also because there is a limit on places and it is undeniably very popular. It does seem very expensive to me these days though but they clearly don't struggle to shift tickets so something is right. Quote

You only need to see 4 bands a day to average the ticket price to around £20 each. Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 As usual, those moaning are the one's that didn't go. A week on though and everyone is still talking about Kanye's set... Quote

I suspect those who did go and didn't like it went to a different stage and listened to something else. I spoke to two friends last night who went. They listened to a couple tracks and headed off somewhere else. They did point out it's a festival with music and not a music festival. Quote
CamdenRob Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 If this is what's considered good I'm more out of touch than I thought... Then again I'm not really his target demographic... I doubt One Direction would expect to appeal to me either. Quote

Is that what you mean by 'still talking about'? Quote

KevB Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Well it is clearly titled 'The Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts'. I wonder if there will come a time when there's a headliner that isn't a recognised music act at all? Please God not Michael Mcintyre though. Edited July 3, 2015 by KevB Quote

YouMa Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I just think the majority of black popular music has been seriously lacking in any real bass or groove since the early 1990s.A real shame but there just doesnt seem to be much movement just plodding beats and boasting or cussing. Miss bands like light of the world and jazzy funky soul groove stuff with real talent sugarhill gang jurassic 5 all that stuff. It might just be me but kanye, if thats his real name just strikes me as a man with a talent for pretending to be a credible musician while he is really just a bussiness man with a nice fur coat.I would be interested to know how much he contributes to the actual creation of "his" music.
