choffer Posted June 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I’ve given up on the cure, had a look at The Streets and he’s just a deranged madman so now I’m watching some kid called Rex Orange Country. It’s awful, cheesy pop but at least it doesn’t make me want to cry as much as what’s happening on the other stages.

Chindie Posted June 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2019 Glad to see the Cure play Burn. One of my favourite songs of theirs, and oddly off the Crow soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that’s a good point , I’m not seeing that many hipsters beards when they pan around the crowd ... does that mean Glastonbury has become so uncool even the hipsters are staying away ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipsters mostly died out 8/10 years ago. What you’ve been seen since is wannabe hipsters. Even they’ve got the memo that Glasto ain’t cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just. ain't. happening. Plus he's a grade A twunt regardless of the team he supports. Oh and his musics shit anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Robert Smith’s voice sounds amazing, better than on record. He looks like Red from Orange Is The New Black, but he’s absolutely nailing this. Band are great too. In Between Days was brilliant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverb is the old autotune though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverb is the old autotune though Whatever the trick is to it, it’s very well done - he sounds pretty powerful. I’m not a massive fan, I know a few songs and quite like them, but I didn’t expect them to be this good live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
