Chris Evans Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Sorry if there is a thread about this already. Looking forward to seeing what reaction Jay-Z gets. I think its a good line up. Have enjoyed Black Kids and Editors. Just been watching courtesy of BBC coverage but seems to be a great atmosphere this year. Maybe due to the sun shining and no canoes required. Would like to see a bit of MGMT and Seasick Steve but obviously the beeb go for crowd pleasers. Is the any obscure bands that others think are worth a look?

Notice I mention this and not TITP which really needs to pull it's socks up. Talk about UK music though I'd say Oasis in the mid nineties was "homegrown" at it's best though. Not right now.

Yeah,know what your saying pal,but every so often you hear something that opens your ears that previously you wouldnt give time to.(Not tonight though)! Im disappointed.

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Got to say I thought it was quite funny that Jay Z came on and sung Wonderwall as his opener.

Your signature is very appropriate There should be a place for hip hop at british festivals, but Jay-Z headlining Glasto is just wrong, he's not even that big music-wise over here!! Snoop Dogg at T a few years ago on the other hand was superb, as he was on in the afternoon and was more of a novelty act than anything else.

Agreed, I thought Snoop Dogg was brillant at TITP, but both of them shouldn't headline as they are not that popular in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I find the whole controversy bizarre tbh. He is far from the first rapper at Glastonbury, the only reason we are aware of it is because Noel Gallagher threw his rattle out of the pram. Glastonbury has always attempted to have diverse acts from diverse backgrounds and bringing over a rapper from Brooklyn continues this. I am far from a huge Jay-Z fan but he put on a great show, having a nice wee joke at those that voiced concerns about his attendance. I like Oasis and Noel Gallagher, but Jay-Z has taken the moral high ground whilst Gallagher has came across like an erse. I would suggest that he wanted Oasis to headline and was refused.

alanjambo Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I can't stand Jay Z or hip hop for that matter but I do think that there is as much a case for him headlining as there is for any other major world act. Glastonbury is the festival of contemporary performing arts so you can't just limit it to indie stuff, although that's what I'd watch the most of. This is the first time in the last three Glastonbury's that I've not been my my mates have still gone. They told me that after about five minutes people were bored with Jay Z. I think that he got such a big crowd because people had already gone over to the Pyramid stage to watch Amy Winehouse (who was also poor I thought). I'm sure there are many who would've enjoyed Jay Z's set last night but it's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may not be true as Noel Gallagher said he hates playing festivals in Britain as they never pull it off (anyone who saw Oasis at TITP will agree with this, or at least they should), and i think as a result Oasis just do stadium gigs rather than festivals in the UK now. I agree with you to an extent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard anything by Jay Z until last night.From what i saw N Gallagher was sadly correct.No way he should have headlined.The only time i saw the crowd interact with him was them singing the awful Wonderwall. Add on Amy Winehouse,that must go down as one of the worst 2 sets ever at Glastonbury.Knew i should have followed Taz and watched Buddy Guy.

They have already played Glastonbury twice (headlining once). They have not released an album since 2005 so have no new tunes to let their fans hear. I'm sure they will play a festival or two next year, after releasing an new album in October this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis are great as a standalone gig. They were dreadful in 2004 though and I say that despite them being my favourite band ever. They might play next year but I doubt it'll be at Glasto.

Watching him just now too and agree entirely - my old man was a huge fan so I was brought up with him being played in the house and in his car. 12 Songs and Home Before Dark prove there is much more to him than Sweet Caroline peeshed at the end of family 50th birthday party.

benny Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Now, be honest benny, you wouldn't like ANY rapper or hip hop artist wouldn't you! Always willing to give any kind of music a chance.Daughter plays a lot of 50 cent,Kayne West,Tupac ect.No expert sure,every time a song i like comes up i have to ask her who sings it,but there are quite a few songs i like.Boom Boom Shake The Room being a fave.:First time i have heard anything by Jay Z and first impressions were not good.Maybe better on disc. I think the point being made by Noel is not that this type of music is not good but it should never be headlining a festival like Glastonbury.Maybe give it a slot on the Saturday afternoon like Neil Diamond,Shirley Bassey,Johnny Cash and Brian Wilson got on a Sunday.
