Worst Glastonbury, ever?

[Blue_Times]

For those that went, can you tell me if anyone mosh's or jumps up and down and goes abit mental anymore at Glasto?

Every gig I watched on the BBC the crowd just seemed to sway and sing a long. Only The Streets, Chase and Statues and Queens Of The Stone Age seemed to get the crowd jumping.

I thought Glasto was rock n roll!

If I have to explain you'll never understand. Granted it's not for everyone.

I'll explain. It's now part of the social season, like Henley, Royal Ascot, Badminton and the Chelsea FlowerShow. The music has nothing to do with it.

Social season, your having a laff aren't you. Some of the back stage stuff is fairly narcissistic, but I had much better laff with the proles in Bez's Acid House, than the west london dandies hermetically sealed in the Rabbit Hole.


I've just got back from my third year running, after having not been since jibbing in about 4 times in the chaotic days of the 90's. Yes it's changed, there are far less socially unaware thieves and vagabonds bullying teenagers and student types, but that might just be a good thing. Of course it isn't going to be the cutting edge anymore, but what the fuck is?

Secondly if anyone thinks Glastonbury is about just the Pyramid stage they are about as clueless as that Brooklands kid. You don't know the line up before you buy the tickets. This year I was disappointed with the lineup on the usual stages, but as my missus is cheggers it gave me the opportunity to spend two lost days in the vortex of Shangri-La, the Unfairground, Arcadia and the Common et al. Give me a chance to go back to the Hacienda, Thunderdome days of the 80's early 90's before i belatedly become a dad.There is something for everyone at the festival, what's wrong with families watching main stream bands on Pyramid/Other stage, whilst other tribes do what they do.

Live and let live, oh and trust me I go to royal Ascot and other horse racing meets all over the country, and there are more aggressive ten pint fighters at that shit gaff than anywhere else.

That TMQ fella summed it up with acid off some hippy tits, life is short.

Few of my mates got back this morning and they had a great time.

Easy to watch it on TV and moan but if you actually go and bother to look further than U2/Coldplay then you'd probably have a good time.

Although some of the squares on here would probably still find something to moan about if offered the chance to lie half naked in a field with some hippy chick whilst you suck liquid LSD off her fingers.

Festivals are what you make of them. If you watch them on TV or just stand around the main stages then you'll get a very bland and dull experience.

Amen brother, I went and had a cracker, yes a lot of the main stage was crap IMHO, but i'm sure others loved it, and you know what, you don't just have to stay at the Pyramid stage, there are hundreds of choices on all the time. But I suppose the BBC has to show the dirge to keep the squares sedated in their armchairs. Personally I saw some rocking little Folk, and Ska and Dub bands, let alone the Dance music in crazy land

Squares watching a festival on TV, slagging it off, the irony of the balloon heads.<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 28, 2011 6:39 pm --<br /><br />
