cosanostra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Glad you spotted it too, I thought it was some sort of mistake on my part. I've seen far better bands in pubs It was absolutely brutal. Sounded like 14yr olds in standard grade music working on their project. Who on earth would pay money to see garbage like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanauskas33 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Absolutely ridiculous decision from Rage Against the Machine imo. Completely contradicts all the reasons that they have given for signing to a major record label. Still must have been a cracking atmosphere though, considering most folk are there for the music and not the social issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIEIO Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Decided to watch this for a while instead of listening to my extensive and if I may say excellent music collection. The thing that annoyed me most was not the pesh poor acts on display but the presenter with the dark hair alongaside Edith Bowman - offensively bad. Where do the BBC find these jokers? Do you mean the weegie female or the English ponce in the leather kilt? If I had one bullet the weegie would get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Prodigy = Indeed they're a class act.

Patrick Bateman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I like the Prodigy, but I remember seeing them play the exact same stuff a couple of years ago. I'd like to see a new dance band take over. And here's Amy Winehouse singing like a lonely, disinterested bint at a karaoke bar. Stick to being played on CDs in Starbucks Amy, you're are a waste of space. And the commentary too "Aye, well done Amy, you didn't turn up coughing up blood and falling over." High praise indeed.

jambobrett Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thought Winehouse looked a state as usual. She seems to mumble through the set.

Wattie Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thought she was great - Back to Black sounded brilliant. It wasn't as bad as her Glastonbury performance anyway. Why I watched both of them I don't know, because I can't stand her, but I also thought it looked pretty bad. She's a waster, famous only for her notoriety.

Governor Tarkin Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Saturday:- Erol Alkan - Started well but died a bit. Poor crowd interaction though. RATM - Loud and messy. Sunday:- Justice - Dirtier than daft punk. Bit predictable but promising. Nice Prodigy - Loud and messy. Similar to RATM. Lots of stop/starting with the big beats. Crowd love that sh*t. Dunno if any of the above was on the telly but along with Seasick Steve and his 3 string they were the highlights of my weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuanD Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I made it up on the Sunday to see Pendulum... I have to say they did not dissapoint, King Tuts was absolutly rocking. Also went to see the Prodigy who were also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Busby ! Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Am I right in understanding how great Scottish crowds are? I mean who cares about influences, future work or, shock horror, showing some music, its all about how great Scottish crowds are. A parochial embarrassment. Agreed, totally cringeworthy. Fact is that a) the audience comes from all parts of the UK and beyond and bands/acts will always say that the Scottish/Liverpool/Aussie/NewYork/anywhere etc etc audience is "the best audience"...they say what they're expected to say, it's good manners. The parochialism extended last night on the TV to a far far too long section of coverage of Amy MacDonald, a one trick pony weedgie chick act with a guitar and an obsession with singing about the Barrowlands. Rank. As for the presenters, ferking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pammiep Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 The 'headlining' bands for me were the best of the weekend. The Verve were superb, Prodigy brilliant as always but I am now a RATM convert. Having only listened to my son ranting on about them and Tom Morello and his guitar playing I was well impressed. I'm trawling the web now to buy CDs DVDs to get more of that guitar playing. Pendulum sounded good from outside King Tuts. The Stranglers were bril as well. Pity so many folk had to listen to them from outside the tent. I do like Amy Winehouse's music however I dont think her voice was strong enough to carry out a performance on the main stage. She looked like a frightened rabbit and was constantly looking around for re assurance from whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis2006 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've been sitting watching the interactive coverage for the last couple of hours in the hope of some RATM action...absolutely gutted at not seeing anything. From what I've seen Amy Winehouse sounded brilliant, The Charlatans looked good and Pendulum sounded incredible. Loads of footage of Kings of Leon and The Zutons though. They are both brutal. I stayed in the King Tuts for the last 3 acts last night. Pendulum: Superb for start to finish. It was a raw titp crowd, nobody holding back, no idiots waving mobile phones above their heads, just hard core party animals "avin it large" so to speak The Charlatans: A well needed chill after the mayhem that was pendlum, got in a good grove and summed up the best of the 90's in 50mins!! Primal Scream: Dont think I have to say much....simply rocking!! Good day overall, glad I never camped for the first time in 5 years as I wasn't on come down mode and avoided the weegies in the campsite!!

lewis2006 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Nice one Lewis, they all sounded awesome on telly. Unfortunately the aforementioned mobile-waving, perennial-flag-waving, three-days-a-year-music-lovers are enough to keep me away from TITP, but those three, Winehouse, Vampire Weekend, Interpol, Battles and I'm sure RATM would have been worth the entrance fee for me. Yup I was gutted missed RATM and the Chemical Brothers but managed to sneak into the tent to see the last 3 songs of Vampire Weekend which was also spot on. If you now where to go and who to see you can really avoid the vast numbers of dooshbags that now go to TITP because it's the "cool thing to do"! Will be back next year but will do the same as this year and get a day ticket for whatever day suits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordeaux 03 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Pendulum. That was one mental gig. Even before they came on the crowd was absolutely rocking to the point where you would think someone was actually playing live. When it started i was about a quarter of the way back in the middle, when it ended i was practically at the barrier . MGMT were great as well.

Bert Le Clos Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Got back after 4 nights camping and I'm unsure if I'll be going back next year.

I think it`s called Lethangie camp site. I know a few folk that have been there the last couple of years and they`ve had a great time. While all the neds go to get **** faced and fall off the waltzers, you can get on the wee shuttle bus back to you friendly family run, clean toileted, able to sleep, tent and caravan field. It`s a campsite all year round so it`s got proper facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I was happy to sit up until 2 or 3am having a ber with mates, but not being kept up until 6am by *****s singing Rangers and Celtic songs and shouting "hoy pal, have you got any pills man?"

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I had a bloody great weekend. Yes, there were plenty of little neds around singing "Here we ****ing go" but they can be easily igonred. Highlights of the weekend for me were: Friday - Stereophonics and The Verve Saturday - The Pigeon Detectives, and The Courteeners. Sunday - Kings of Leon and Primal Scream The Kaiser Chiefs were ****. Music aside - another highlight was having my brothers mate work in one of the beers tents.
