Watched Jay-Z's set at Glastonbury live with some mates, he was awesome.

I dont like Jay-Z but his performance was great, ***** a genius. Started off playing Wonderwall to take the **** out of all the people saying that a rock act should be playing. He then eased the crowd further in by mixing well known songs into some of his, played the riff from AC/DC when playing 99 problems etc. He kept his songs short as well. In the end the crowd were loving it. Only bit I didnt like was that he seemed to be reciting poetry at random bits

Hahaha that's awesome. Would have been better if the girl kicking realised just what she was doing tho

 

[Gregor]

shut up, thats what makes it awesome the fact she didnt know what she was doing

 

[Robbo]

wooot that guy got pwned

 

[Craven]

Yeah agree with Gregor there, it's funny when she realises what she's done.

Just got back from Latitude festival, Mars Volta ftw

Omid Djalili (sp?) was fairly hilarious as well

 

[Robbo]

Went to V yday......was fun day///****** muddy though!!

saw...air traffic (ok), Tokyo Police Club (good), Lost Prophets (dissapointing), Maximo Park (good), The Kooks (very good), Stereophonics (2nd best live band ive seen????), Muse (THE BEST LIVE BAND....ive seen)

 

[Lee]

Muse (THE BEST LIVE BAND....ive seen)

ewww, you're banned from these forums foreverrrr!

 

[samleggott]

yeah and you said the kooks were good, get out

 

[ajw]

Can imagine Muse were pretty immense. However the Kooks can't have been good, thats just a lie.

LEEDS FEST TOMORROW!

 

[Point/Counterpoint]

Just got back from leeds fest. Got to say I quite enjoyed Mindless Self Indulgence, Cancer Bats, The Gaslight Anthem, The Unseen, Tenacious D, The Loved Ones, Alexisonfire, ****** Up, Alkaline Trio, a bit of Dizzee Rascal (lawl).

Let downs were all the headliners. Imo none of them lived up to the name of a headliner, especially at a festival the size of Leeds fest. Rage Against The Machine were boring (every song sounded the same and they did little to get the crowd involved). Couldn't be bothered listening to Metallica (was pretty ******). The Killers had like 2 songs that were decent.

Highlight was definitely Anti-flag on lockup stage though. Not only because I knwo their music, but imo they got the crowd more involved and put on a more energetic performance than most the other bands. Thought they did very well on the main stage as well. Crowd seemed into it and they had a massive circle pit going.
