Caught the end of Therapys? set on 2fm tonight on the way home from the Rovers match, sounded rocking as ever.
Oi dont you dare! Anyway my older brother and his wife are there and am sure if some guy so much as looks at her my brother will track them down and make his wife some new earings from the testicles he has skillfully removed!Originally Posted by soccerc
I'm glad your brother wasn't at The Breeders..
Aw but sure you were well behaved so he would have left you with your breeders!
Well how was it guys?
Having seen most of the big bands before i gave it a miss this year, and seeing the news reports over the wkd, am kinda glad i did. Looked like the same mud fest as the last few years.
I heard a bit of Snow Patrol on 2FM the other night and it sounded awful. He pulled two birds up on stage to sing and he droned on quite a bit. Now, if I paid money to see them and he pulled two girls out of the audience to sing I'd be fairly unhappy
Unless you were one of the girls of course.
Killers were amazing last night, put on a fantastic show! Snow Patrol and Kings of Leon were also very good. One of the girls brought up on stage with SP is my cousin's cousin on the other side of the family, couldn't believe it when I saw her up there, although I thought it was a pretty stupid idea from them tbh. Other then that they were very good I thought.
The weather on Saturday was outrageous, got absolutely destroyed, but I suppose these things happen. Had a good weekend overall, although it wasn't as good as last year IMO.
Was offered a ticket to this but kindly declined to see Bruce Springsteen instead, absolutely delighted I did.
Good evening!
I went to them at oxegen thought they were superb, really did!! I think i heard somewhere they sold out the olympia in 3 mins!!
Anywho i just seen this thread i went to oxegen this year, what made me go i dont know i hated the hole idea for years, but by god it was one of the best weekends of my life, superb, the hole drinking all day pure relaxed was class. Didnt go to much music, went to keane friday night ahead of blur and what a good decision they were feckin superb, chaplins a great front man tbf, really enjoyed him, they done a great version of queens under pressure, but they really impressed me, went to lily allen aswell friday, oh she hot!! Music good aswell tbf but im not going to lie went to see her more than hear her. Kings of leon saturday night were class, your mans voice is amazing, but he's one **** frontman so boring no crowd interaction whatsoever, but his voice really makes ya appreciate the band.Sunday night just saw the killers, the were top class aswell, great live band. All in all id recommend it lads.

Won't be going to Glasto again until I can afford a camper. Hopefully heading to Roskilde next year.
So -just to be clear ...you paid 250 quid to stand around a sodden field drinking? I know a covered in bus stop where you could do that for free.
-ah so you did go see some bands playing then. Good for you. who else then?
but she would've been a dot on the horizon no? Or did you watch her in large pixels on the screen? ....like you could on telly at home.
That'll do. Stick to the facts. Some happen to believe he sounds like a hoover with a bearing gone.
...but it's an all day festival no? Are you seriously saying you saw ONE band on sunday?
Also I'm looking back over the bands you did see + The Script -Someone else has mentioned and recommended the Smash Hits roadshow already. Surely more bang for your buck?

I was in the pit for kings of leon and very close to lily allen so yes i left the campsite few times.
Yes i only saw 1 band on sunday, sundays line up wasnt too attractive to me, as for the smash hits roadshow, ok your music taste is sooooo much cooler than mine, so what??

Y'see this is my problem (or one of them at least) with festivals. You could probably remove the bands altogether as well as ....well maybe not the stages -just show cartoons or movies or have a DJ -and a fair whack of the crowd would still go. (Actually you could probably get rid of the stages and just give everyone half a yard of bubblewrap on the way in.)
The more I think of it -it'd be my preferred option because these things are killing live music off in this country (and elsewhere). If there was no bands at them -people might go to venues to watch gigs in greater numbers and on a more regular basis again and bands might be able to tour.
Nor mine ...bit of a no-tunes Cure
...SO you went to a MUSIC festival that cost 250 bucks and watched what? 1,2,3,4,5, SIX bands! It's not about who's taste in music is 'cooler' ...it's supposed to be about music -you had a chance to experience some and passed in favour of the smash hits roadshow lineup only.
i've no further questions for this witness your honour. Prosecution rests....any more questions so skillfully thrown at me in a way that only a lim foot.ie user could do, very lim till i die tone to that post

In all fairness i went to 6 bands as you say KOL and Killers huge, so id pay more than 250 to see all them and get no camping experience at all never mind 4 days of it, but i can see where your coming from alright.Y'see this is my problem (or one of them at least) with festivals.
