Cheese Me Posted 26 June 2007 Posted 26 June 2007 Been to every Glasto since '98 and love it. Not the best one this year but still gresat fun. Highlights were Arcade Fire - Absolutely awesome Marley Brothers - So many great songs and the sun came out too Bootleg Beatles - A great sing along to end Sunday night The Enemy - only caught the end of their set but they were amazing and will definitely buy their album The Hours - worth the treck up to John Peel stage from the Park, really got Saturday morning going Modest Mouse playing Float On - the sun came out and everyone around me went mental for this one Klaxons - Not quite as good as I'd expected but still brilliant Fratellis - Another sing along Guillemotts - stunning, a real spectacle Kooks - kicked @rse Lowlights, missing the Twang and rain and mud (again), it's so much better when it's sunny. Plus spending a fortune, everything seemed much more expensive this year. Also saw Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things (sadly no Libertines reunion), Monkeys, Killers, Dylan Project and the View. All were OK but none massively exciting. Saw some guy in cabaret tent too who'd played bass with Pink Floyd, Madonna and Michael Jackson who was great and loads of brilliant stories.
Cheese Me Posted 26 June 2007 Posted 26 June 2007 Muse at 08 :punk: :banana: :w00t: :w00t: Don't think so. Eavis has said they've signed a big band but not Muse or U2. Thinking Rolling Stones myself

sambucapleasechief Posted 26 June 2007 Posted 26 June 2007 Anybody else get stuck in the car park leaving took us nearly 8 hrs to get out spoke to some guy who had had been in there over 13hrs. Highlights of the weekend for me were The Twang, Jack Penate(down the charlotte soon well worth checking out),envy corps, good shoes , again modest mouse doing float on and bootleg beatles. Thought the dirty pretty things were the biggest load of shit i saw all weekend

Filbert_Ross Posted 26 June 2007 Posted 26 June 2007 Along with Trevor Rockcliffe and Laurent Garnier the best Techno DJ's around Hoping to catch Garnier at Sziget. Crispy Bacon I love Dave Clarke, to be honest I know nothing about techno but we went croatia in march and he was playing in this club and it was mental so had to go see him again. also purchased his 'world series2' cd.
Trumpet Posted 26 June 2007 Posted 26 June 2007 Don't think so.Eavis has said they've signed a big band but not Muse or U2. Thinking Rolling Stones myself Ah, he said he doesnt want U2, however he has stated before today he wants muse, muse will be signed up, just not this time

Fratellis were awesome, in my opinion!
purpleronnie Posted 27 June 2007 Posted 27 June 2007 Muse at 08 :punk: :banana: :w00t: :w00t: God I hope not, that whining voice kills me, have heard loads of there songs on mtv etc...still have no idea what he's wailing on about, and by the way Muse...ever heard of a melody. As for Glasto, my faves:- WELLER ARCTIC MONKEYS THE CORAL THE ENEMY IGGY AND THE STOOGES THE MANIC'S The worst acts;- Killers - dear oh dear, alright for 10 year olds I guess. Who (love the band but so boring to watch now) The Automatic - nonesense
act smiley Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 by the way Muse...ever heard of a melody. The voice, I can understand. Disagree, but understand. But this, what? eh? NONSENSE!

Nothing. - Oh, and Arctic Monkeyz are propa mint meight.
Libertine Posted 28 June 2007 Posted 28 June 2007 Fine if you dont like Muse, or Matt's voice, fine, mint, coolio dawg, but they're an extremely melodic band. And you can't spell their so Stickeh is right.

Agreed, he can say what he wants but melody is definaytely something they have, infact which band doesnt have a melody??! If i had to pick out muse songs with melody, im sure id find around 4 albums worth.
sdb Posted 29 June 2007 Posted 29 June 2007 no bands really blew me away. Bloc Party were great but i expected that. CSS were very good. Then Killers, AM, Kooks, Maximo Park, Just Jack, View, Kasabian etc - all decent but not spectacular. i expected bit better from Kasabian after the last time i saw them. Dirty Pretty Things and The Cribs were both poor imo. Jamie T was good too

inmemoryofdoreen Posted 29 June 2007 Posted 29 June 2007 Didn`t think it was that great this year and will think twice about spending that much money and getting that wet again. arcade fire were the stand outs for me.
purpleronnie Posted 2 July 2007 Posted 2 July 2007 First song, first album. Melody my friend, melody. Ironically performed at glastonbury http://youtube.com/watch?v=hjKEv10yhds Maybe its his warbling voice that puts me off, maybe I haven't heard enough of muse to say they aren't melodic. But the noise of the band and his warblings, melody or not is painful on the ears.
Trumpet Posted 3 July 2007 Posted 3 July 2007 Maybe its his warbling voice that puts me off, maybe I haven't heard enough of muse to say they aren't melodic.But the noise of the band and his warblings, melody or not is painful on the ears. For a 3 man set up they are powerful and melodic, each to their own with his voice, howeverat least 150,000 people the other week liked his voice..
