MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just watched Gorillaz and then The Flaming Lips on the Beeb video thing. What a contrast. I would have had Wayne Coyne on the main stage in preference to either U Poo OR the incredibly boring and pointless simian-badged nonsense, myself. What thinkest thou?
I think you're a try-hard.
I would agree, with the caveat that Gorrilaz live could be very good (it just wasn't!) Dizzie Rascal was on before them and is a tough act to follow. The Flaming Lips are sadly just not popular enough to headline. Saw them in 2003 before Radiohead and they were ace, so much fun.
U2 weren't there anyway

"... their replacement,"
the incredibly boring and pointless simian-badged nonsense,
Late edit there for the benefit of the combustible canine. 🙄
I think the problem the gorillaz had was that not many of the people there knew the songs that they had picked for the set. they left all the popular tracks til the end, which seemed to be a mistake
I have a feeling the flaming lips wouldn't have fared any better on the main stage. they are both "other stage" acts in the glastonbury scheme of things.
They had Willie Nelson on the Pyramid stage couple of nights ago.
is it good on the telly?
think the mistake made here might be expecting glasto coverage to either do a good job of reproducing the atmosphere or effectively capturing the sound well. even through a w*nkomatic 18 piece stereo/tv.
if you were actually there then you're probably in a decent position to critique the performance, if you weren't, you're not.
i've seen coverage after i've got home that completely mis-represented performances that were fantastic in the flesh.
