They are in this weird identity crisis where they clearly view themselves as above the stuff on their first couple of albums but also feel obliged to play it at every gig. I presume the setlist tonight was an attempt to win the masses over to their new stuff.
They should split up for a bit. They're clearly just Alex Turner and backing band. Let him fuck off and do his weird little thing for a bit.
I never really listened to the Arctic Monkeys beyond their radio hits back in the day, so persevered through that set last night. What a load of wank.
I hope the poor mites laryngitis was ok.
Expecting big things from Loyle & Christine/Chris/Redcar today.
Missed yday but just watching Kiko's set on BBC now. Never really been a fan and this isn't doing anything to change that. Anything good happen yesterday?
I noticed that comparison too.
Reaction seems to be mixed at best.
Foo Fighters are greatFred Again, Young Fathers and The Comet is Coming seem to be the other stuff from yesterday that I need to catch up on.
This is brutal for today though:
Pyramid Stage
12:00 – 12:45: Rick Astley
13:15 – 14:00: Raye
14:30 – 15:30: Amadou & Mariam
16:00 – 17:00: Aitch
17:30: NHS 75th anniversary celebration
17:35 – 18:35: Lewis Capaldi
19:30 – 20:30: Lizzo
21:30 – 23:45: Guns N’ Roses
I'll check out Rick and A&M could be good but the rest aren't getting touched beside possibly seeing what Guns N' Roses are about. Plenty on other stages ofc (Loyle, Lana, Fatboy Slim, Maggie Rogers, etc).
Rick Astley was great, wasn't expecting an AC/DC cover in there along the way
Just watched Fever Ray's set back, hard to imagine there will be anything better this weekend.Originally Posted by -james-
Absolutely fuck all of interest today. Rina Sawayama in the tent would probably have been the only thing I'd have made the effort for.
Guns N' Roses, coupled with last night, should put paid to any hopes of another guitar band headlining this decade.
And he's doing some kind of Smiths cover/tribute with Blossoms later on apparently.
Not sure there's anything I want to watch less than Lizzo sweating all over a flute.
This is pretty good fun. You could hardly conceive of a safer bet.And he's doing some kind of Smiths cover/tribute with Blossoms later on apparently.
Rick Smithley should have been headlining last night.
Fred Again's set was great vibes.
lol wtf happened to the Arctic Monkeys
I'm a twit
Are there sound problems on this Guns n Roses performance or are they just a bit shit/old?
The KLF had it right, [nearly] everyone should stop after 5 years or whatever.
Slash is still an absolute wizard.
And go out with a big, public shitpost.
Axl Rose's voice is fucked but that's no surprise. They all seem pretty up for it so it's better than I expected.
Loyle bringing NRG.
I bet he absolutely stinks.
Guns and Roses have a lot of songs I don’t know.
Never been much of a fan but Lana is pretty captivating from the get go.
Slash is ridiculous.
Axl giving off strong Eddie Izzard vibes.
He looks like a nan
Elton John.
Showed up half an hour late and had the plug pulled before she could do her two biggest songs.
I'm a convert though. She should headline for her next album.
Is this Lana Del Rey? My favourite song with her on (hands on the whee by schoolboy q) turned out to not even be her, it was someone called Lissie.

Wasn't expecting the Manics to go to the Holy Bible that much.
Glastonbury's headliner choice are so bizarre sometimes. Guns n Roses is them once again employing a previously gigantic band because they're cheap to book now. They're cheap for a reason, though. Meanwhile they take advantage of someone like Lewis Capaldi being willing to play for peanuts when he'd have made a far better headliner than either from the last two nights. The only chance he's got at headlining at the moment is by getting a sex change.
I saw Lewis Capaldi at the Portsmouth thing the other year and between songs he was annoying. You Scottish mate aye?
I can't decide if he's likeable and honest or a dramatic twat.

Probably a bit of both.
Imagine thinking Lewis Capaldi of all people is a twat.
The crowd taking over from him singing when his tics started to kick in was beautiful.
Rick Astley being great is a nice bit of Rick rolling by him.
Keyword is "dramatic".
"When I have a panic attack, it feels like I'm going insane, completely disconnected from reality," he told the director, Joe Pearlman. "I can't breathe. I can't feel my breath going in. I get dizzy. I feel like there's something happening to my head. I'm sweating.
"The big thing for me with it is, I'm always going to feel like this now, this is me."
I don't think someone describing a panic attack means that they are dramatic.
Yeah, that's just him being honest.
It's him being a tart.
Easy to say when you don’t have panic attacks cos you’re not a spastic melt.

Getting on stage for thousands of people would probably give me one.
He should find another job.
I don't know any of these people, but some famous singer with Mental Health Issues is the most 2020s thing ever.
Yet none of them swap the fame and money, strange that. You'd almost think the publicists come up with all this stuff.
Mental Health doesn't exist and Lewis Capaldi was just pretending to lose his shit on the telly yesterday and also cancelled all of his shows this month in the lead up to bolster the agenda.
Wouldn't be quite so over-dramatic. It does sell though and at the end of the day, he's swimming in publicity now.
Sam Smith is the most 2020's thing ever.
Lol wot. I’m not sure he was ever struggling for publicity
Cat Stevens > 90% of the acts so far.
Having Googled him, is that some sort of 'trans' singer? If so, then yes.
Yes, and future Fisherthem.
