    The years have not been kind to GNR. Axl is terrible

    We've decided to add a couple covers to our set insurance original metal band. Easy set filler we thought so we worked out a stoner metal version of maniac from flashdance (an obvious choice) and a punky version of Paranoid by Sabbath. Paranoid is about as easy as it gets. Every beginner rock guitarist and bassist learns it so why the hell am I playing it so badly? It should be the easiest song in our set. Anyone else have trouble with a beginner standard tune?

    He's really good. Seems like part of the band already. Anyone who's going to drum for Dave Grohl has to be really good. I thought Daves daughter gave a pretty solid performance as well.

    Maybe they keep her quiet for a reason

    I've seen them a couple times. They're really good live. Benji can really get a crowd going.

    Not sure who I just watched, some pop group. The guitarist wasn't quite up to the job, he played the worst guitar solo I've heard in a long time. The whole solo sounded flat, possibly in the wrong key.

    Ricks were the bass of choice in the 90's indie and grunge bands and that sound seems to be coming back. Los Bitchos were excellent, bit punky and a bit grungy. No idea what their bass or guitars were, all weird things

    Eminem has been around Frome the last week. My daughter served him a burger, he was polite. Maybe he'll show up somewhere at the festival.

    Rock singers don't need a great voice. Lemmy was technically a bad singer but he was possibly the greatest front man ever

    That's a good idea. I want some special fungi

    I saw them on their first tour and they were amazing live. Watching them now on TV, they have lost that energy they used to have. I'll agree with your meh

    McCartney is there. Side of the stage watching Foo Fighters

    There are literally hundreds of food sellers and just about every type of food you can imagine. Buy some chips within a hundred yards of the pyramid field and you will pay an extortionate price for a small portion of terrible chips. Walk another 5 minutes and you'll get some amazing jerk chicken with rice and peas for less. There are so many food sellers that they're quite competitive away from the big stages

    I've seen them a few times and they're great BUT the three hour set with 45 minutes of acoustic material in the middle was too long and killed the energy in the middle of the set. They are one of the rock greats though up there with the very best. Was that Paul McCartney on the balcony above the stage?

    I thought he played with fingers but seems to be using a pick now.

    Playing to a crowd the size Foo Fighters are playing to would cause some underwear soiling. I'm a bit nervous about playing to one hundred next month and there's probably a thousand times that number there

    The P bass is the standard. Boring, functional, gets the job done. I insisted I'd never have one because they're so common. I currently have 3 basses, all Fender P basses

    Dave Grohl has been spotted back stage so I'm guessing it's the Foo Fighters. Unless it's Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme is there. John Paul Jones has been spotted local yesterday.

    I saw a recent picture of Axl Rose and he looks just like Mina Caputo (Life of Agony).
  20. SteveXFR
    I'll put a fiver on it not being Axl Rose. Elton is a bit of a fan of noisier rock music though. I'll guess Dave Grohl will be one of Eltons guests.

    Driving myself is the only option. There is no public transport. Both band mates live in the opposite direction. Can't carry a 4x10 cab and two basses on my motorbike. I've got a bit of a scruffy old Skoda Roomster which is the perfect car for the job. Small, cheap and I can get an enormous amount of gear in it. It's do ugly and uncool I can park it anywhere and it won't get stolen

    I just realised Elton is at Glastonbury and Dave Grohl is there as well. Both of them have played on Queens Of The Stone Age records so I wonder whether either will join QOTSA on stage on Sunday evening.

    I wish I could have gone, I love a bit of Rancid. It was The Skints and Grade 2 supporting as well wasn't it? Both great bands

    My old neighbour learned to play the didgeridoo at Glastonbury. Maybe it was the same person who taught him. We enjoyed him practicing in his garden in the evening for a while but after three weeks of two hours every evening it lost its appeal

    I remember an article in the Daily Sport (a fine publication) which said that a tower block in Swindon had the highest rate on inbreeding in the country. Anyway, back on topic. The helicopters have started going back and forth to the festival. About one every half hour today. By Friday it'll be three or four times that many at least. Very environmentally friendly.
