Seat68 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I have seen Slipknot a couple of times and can testify that they are phenomenal live. No Machinehead mind but phenomenal nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first year they sited the helipad where it is now they fenced it in with steel shield, and the 'special' guests parked around the perimeter. They should have left a few gaps Helicopter arrives and blows the steel shield outward across all the posh cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted June 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2019 From this weeks popbitch: >> Chopper nawty << Copying the greats Amid all the hoo-hah about just how many helicopters are expected to land at Glastonbury this weekend, we were reminded of a story from the festival back in 1994, when helicopters arriving on site were a real rarity. One was spotted making its descent that weekend and everyone backstage got very excited as a rumour went round like wildfire that it was Princess Di... Then the chopper landed. And 80s acid-jazz gonks Galliano got out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I saw Khraungbin in Portland last week. First time at this particular venue and the mix was piss poor. Soundboard fail. Packed house though and it's always good to see bands venture this far northeast. Usually Boston is the last stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted June 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2019 Having looked at the Glastonbury line up, I feel justified in not giving a f*** about it. Its just a pop festival, what's the point? I get that it is meant to be everything, and its good that some metal is making its way onto it, but the biggest one is probably Gojira and they have an hour on what I think is 5th/6th stage. No real diversity at all and is just for people to look cool. No thanks. The only benefit is that it has meant that Gojira are doing a mini tour and I am looking forward to seeing them on Saturday. Rolo Tomassi and Black Peaks supporting so good all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there's been lineups before that didn't float my boat on the whole but you could understand why most of them are there, but this year is just a cavalcade of crap. Looking at the big 5 stages I think there's maybe 3 acts I'd watch over the weekend. Other years that would be tally for a day, in really good years might be the tally for one stage in one day.

choffer Posted June 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2019 Idles were utterly stunning and despite it 100% not being my kind of music the Stormzy set has been awesome so far. Cant see a lot else on the schedule that I’d cross the road to watch though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
