I reckon they'll be playing Slane next year
Wish you were here was amazing. Reckon they'll be touring together soon enough following the reaction to their set. All their albums in HMV on Oxford St. have sold out today!
Allez les Bleus
I reckon they'll be playing Slane next year

I think it'd take Floyd to get me to go to Slane
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
I think they were made for each other,could you just imagine it

Indeed I could. I could probably even bring myself to put up with the expensive warm beer, hordes of sunburned gob****es and event junkies with glo-sticks that would surely turn out for it and all. Would be great though.

I thought the Who were the best band all day, no other guitarist came close to Townshend, he was head and shoulders above anyone else. Funny to see Pink Floyd back together considering how they hated each other's guts.
It was good to see Ashcroft out there too, one of the few that day who can actually sing.
Williams will always get a good reaction because he's a master at working the crowd. He has to be as it disguises his awful karaokee music.

I was worried for the poor little African kids on stage.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I tee 'em up you drive 'em home ya?
....yes like all bands, but they never have done, bar yesterday, and in fairness never will doas well as playing to 200,000 at a time...
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
I have a live CD of Maiden playing to quarter of a million in Brazil where dickinson gets the crowd (yep 250,000 people) to sing the intro to 'fear of the dark'.
It makes Freddie Mercurys 'day-oh' gag at wembley look pretty easy by comparison.

So you expect me to get excited about a band who were referred to as Dinosaurs before I was even born?Originally Posted by sirhamish
I know age is against them but I've never seen any band concentrate so hard on trying to remember the words to their songs and how to play their instruments.

I sometimes get excited about gregorian chant stuff from eons before I was born, by trad stuff we haven't a blind clue of the age of and by mozart from over 200 years ago. your point?Originally Posted by Peadar
Yeah they've it a good bit harder than Robbie Williams who could'nt play a triangle and doesn't need to remember words as the backing track is never wrong.
You do know Robbie is about 32 dont ya? getting old like

You like Williams; you dis-like floyd. Can we not just leave it at that?

These boys should just rest on their laurels.
The sun has set on their musical careers.

Whether you get excited or not is up to you Peadar - so what if they have to try and remember the lyrics and they do have a big backlog of music so not surprising really and they hadn't much practise time, apparently. Anyway, it was you who introduced the dinosaur tag.Originally Posted by Peadar
I just found their musicianship, those beautiful guitar sounds from Dave Gilmore and those great songs thoroughly enjoyable. It's a cliche but it's the music that counts in the end, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
I didn't know you were THAT young, by the way, enjoy it - it passes awfully quickly and you may even end up a "boring old fart" like me - another old NME term. LOL
Fine, if you don't like them but I always laugh when people slag off a band 'cos their over thirty, forty and god forbid, fifty.
It's the music - it's the music - it's the music.
Good music is good music and the age tag is irrelevant.
Why? coz they're in their late 50's early 60's? give me a break.Originally Posted by Peadar
I know the world has become more and more youth obsessed but please.
Will you want Robbie to rest on his laurels when he's 60 -or will you popping along to Butlins to watch him haul his fat ass about.

It's not that I don't like them but I felt there was such hype about them and people saying how amazing their set was when, quite frankly, for me, they combined with The Who and 'Macca' to drain the atmosphere. Like flesh eating zombies who sucked the life out of the crowd.Originally Posted by sirhamish
My points are based on their performance last Saturday and in the context of the Live8 concert.
