He shows he’s a decent singer, willing to cover any genre. Somebody that was in the right place at the right time & has made the best of it. But as Billy Idol said*, during the Gen Sex set, about Jones & Cook. ‘You don’t have to be the world’s greatest, but can come up with memorable stuff that lasts the test of time’. Obviously said from the heart, but came across as a slight & the crowd burst out laughing. Edited June 25, 2023 by kiddy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Mozz is probably seething about it, but it really is done with complete sincerity and revere. It was indeed great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Billys "singing" that was a bit rich, but I will forgive him anything for rescuing My Way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his singing was fine, ok he’s not Lydon on the Pistols tracks. But it is what it is. Generally, like a few at Glasto, they improved as the set went on. Just as well they didn’t go into any of Tony James Sputnik back catalogue though! #ShootItUp Edited June 25, 2023 by kiddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was looking forward to seeing Guns N Roses. It was okay, but it was a pain that Axl wasn’t rocking the trademark bandana and kilt. Shame that he can’t hit the high notes any more either. I like seeing the nostalgia acts like them, The Pretenders, Manic Street Preachers, etc. even Texas, but it just reminds me how people look great in their 20s then decline over time and that we’ll all be dead soon. Cheery stuff. Ah well, it’s a short life, might as well get on living it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I quite enjoyed Gabriels set. The bloke in the green kilt. Will go online and check out his recorded stuff. Thought he nailed the afternoon sunshine vibe with his smooth choons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you are talking an hour. But like I said when it comes to festivals people don’t want change from the headliners, they want what they are used to from said band and that’s why the arctic monkeys changing their style went down so badly. I don’t think I’ve seen a single positive comment about their set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be at cross purposes here, I think that Arctic Monkeys have been dreary & boring from the minute that Alex Turner met Josh Homme & somehow decided there and then to be the most pretensious twat on the Planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Since various people here posted about "Billy Nomates" as if it was common knowledge: This person, who I assume normally has a band, did a set with her singing to a backing track and people were mean to her online. Does she normally do this? If not, why was she doing it here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
