Johnny Marr on the red button for anyone cool out there.

LOL.

 

Yeah Johnny Marr who became relevant in 1982, available on the red button for all you cool kids looking for a modern alternative to those old fogeys who became relevant way back in 1964.

 

 

Which band was he playing in this week?

Did Green Day not headline TITP a few years back and didn't allow it to be filmed and shown by BBC (or any network) as they were putting it on a DVD? Wank$

Very nearly happened last night with the stones. They only wanted the BBC to show the first four songs due to a live DVD they're doing. Mick had to be convinced they would be showing themselves to potentially new audience. In the end they still didn't allow the full set to be broadcast.

 

It has to be said that if ever there was a positive argument for drug use, last night was it. Without years of hard core drug use and artificial stimulation I doubt they could still feed themselves nevermind play 2 hours. It looked like a Wonga advert.

I dislike live music events and festivals.

 

Bloody hippies

 

Hippies?!? You have obv never been to a festival, unless you class neds as 'hippies' these days.

 

(I'm not slagging off festivals, I'm going to my 12th (and final!) T in the Park this year, but the general crowd is made up of neds usually. Maybe not quite as much as Glasto, but dunno how many hippies can afford the ticket price)

Been sat at work listening to BBC 6 Music all weekend, Glastonbury has sounded immense this year.

 

How hard is it to get tickets? Think we're going to try for next year. Hopefully Arcade Fire will be in the running to headline if they're releasing an album towards the end of this year.

their purple patch was the 4 albums from Beggar's Banquet to Exile and in that time they were HOT HOT HOT

 

Watching them today is different, but good on them for keeping going. I know people in the 30s who are WAY OLD before their time, so watching 70 year olds parading around last night is a tonic imo.

 

 

Nice to see Mick Taylor on stage, they were at their most sublime with him in the band.

Saw the Stones at the opening of Ford Field stadium in Detroit, they are fucking immense.

 

Also saw Bowie and Duran Duran at Ford Field, Yank bands don't come within a million miles of the British.

 

Funny thing is the Stones are supposed to be a Chicago Blues band... but whatever... they're tremendous.

Who's Bowie? Think it's well before my time.

 

If you need a contemporary parallel, he's like Justin Beiber, if Justin Beiber had talent, wrote his own music, sang without autotune, and was capable of changing his music and style to remain relevant for circa four decades
