The songs at best are average, the musicianship is at best average. Honestly I am trying to give them a fair go, but they are not floating my boat. I'm with you 100%, can't wait until I watch this tomorrow with my son and tell them how ****in bang average they are, although, I think he'll realise that for himself.

Have to disagree about the musicianship, they’ve become a tight band after the early shambolic but energy filled performances. Good rhythm section behind it all.

Homme Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Tbf I don't think they have ever been an excellent live band. Good tunes but never really had the same appeal live as others. Imo of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Form Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Alex Turner can write some decent songs but he should let someone else sing them. Thinks he’s smooth on stage but simply comes across as a total div. Meantime, Young Fathers were outstanding earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecN Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 It’s just pish. How they bagged headline on a Friday night at Glastonbury is beyond belief. I’d expect they are given that Eavis lassie a couple of poles to stride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 They're a half decent band, but it really is a sign of the times that a band that were semi-big about 15 years ago are headlining Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense Not all music suits improvisation and not many people really do it often. It just gives me the gyp when rock and metal fans get all obsessed with it being the be all and end all and dismiss other types of bands, not that I’m saying it’s where you’re coming from.

I'm not a rock or metal fan, I just don't think they're out of the ordinary, I certainly don't think they're a Glastonbury headliner, far too down beat and self-indulgent, they just don't have the upbeat anthems that a headliner should have.

AC Mallin_51 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 In terms of “their generation” I’ve always thought Kasabian are a superior band in almost every way to Arctic Monkeys. I actually really like Arctic Monkeys but I cannot believe they’re headlining Glastonbury for a 3rd time. I remember seeing them at TRNSMT in 2018 and being slightly underwhelmed. Again I thought Kasabian the year prior was miles ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecN Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The crowd for AM are just happy clappers that the camera have picked up. Playing the ‘anthems’ now but still sounds the same shite as the first quartet of tracks. A costume change and a reboot of pitch might have made it more interesting but it’s still not worthy of Worthy. 🥲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge has took over the frontman role. I feared the worst but saw them at the hydro last November and they were better than ever. They’re main support at TRNSMT on the Saturday this year and they’re headlining Kendal Calling which I’m buzzing for. Don’t think they’ll quite ever reach the status they had before but still an incredible band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
