Sorry to be controversial, but the Arctic Monkeys were rather good. Not sure about covering Diamonds are Forever though.

See its turned into a mud bath again. Why not just move the festival to a dryer time of year? Caught Arctic Monkeys on TV last night, musically sounded tight but seemed to have no energy?

Last time I went to Glastonbury was 1987

Only reason I didn't go in 2005 was because I'd seen New Order the day before and I had no money left. If New Order aren't playing Glastonbury, then for me, there's no point going. I'd just get very drunk and oh... yes... maybe I might go again!

Something to do with the close proximity to the Summer Solstice, I think? :shrug: :smoking:

Why go to Glastonbury where its cold wet and muddy, when you can watch the sets on TV and t'internet, in the comfort of your own home, drinking Kronenbourg Blanc (like i did last night)???

Its been pretty cack so far the coverage hasn't it?

However, everybody should tune in right now to BBC2 as I type - to see the best comedy show on earth - it's THE KILLERS LIVE AT GLAS-TUN-BERRY - HEADLINING!!!!!!!!!

Geezus - talk about hamming things up beyond the call of duty. Just look at them! And the state of the stage props!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am laughing my socks off at Brandon Flowers and his hilarious attempts at trying to make like he's Freddie Mercury with all that prancing about and stalking around the stage.

The rest of the band are dressed just as ridiculously as he is - they look like a bunch of gay cavaliers trying to do rock cabaret. Absolutely hysterical!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I haven't laughed so much at anything on TV for years - this is utter genius! :clap: :clap: :clap: :bow: :bow:

And the best thing of all is Brandon's foghorn voice is getting lost in the huge space - I swear I was having diffiiculty trying to hear what he was singing. :evil4: :evil4: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Who'd have though it - The Killers headlining Glasto? - by 'eck they've come a long way!!

And now they're doing me fave Killers song of all - "Somebody Told Me"..... the best lyrics of ANY song EVER - absolutely classic!!! :evil4: :rofl: :rofl: :clap: :clap: :clap:

ABSOLUTE CLASSIC TV!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Much better than the Killers shite on other side.

He's just invited the whole crowd onto the stage during 'No Fun', and a few hundred got up. Song had to be stopped, some terrified looking security guards, some nicked instruments, and a lot of Iggy hugging. Order has been restored.

THE Glasto moment so far.:clap:

This is the Arctic Monkeys doing a song just after noticing bansheeman in the crowd:

The Iggy Pop stage invasion bit during "No Fun" gets my vote as well for Glasto moment of the day. :thumb: :clap:

That was bloody good riotous fun - what a laugh it must have been for them security guys! :laugh: Classic stuff! You can see how everybody was just having a fucking good time and sod the security!! Iggy was simply goading them on! Nice one! :nod: :clap:

I never knew you didn't think much of The Killers , By Eck My Neck , :laugh: Aye, they were a laughing stock last night.I did stay up and watch about 2 songs to see how bad they were but then i hit the hay.Looks like i missed a good Glasto moment with Iggy ,

Is it just me or are Edith Bowman , Zane Lowe, Lauren Laverne having to try really really hard to make out like they are having a great time and the festival this year is "the best ever" etc etc....?
