March of the pigs - Nine Inch Nails

The worring thing is people will pay for this experience. They probably won't even meet him.

They should bring back the Earache stage. Seeing people confused by Napalm Death was awesome plus I really enjoyed them and Dead Kennedys

Metal and rock can be some of the most interesting music, but not the typical Reading Festival band

If only they knew that heavy metal fans and skinheads are the most friendly people. Bloodstock and Damnation and Arctangent are the most friendly festivals I've been to.

Its got to be difficult playing a festival knowing that probably 75% of your audience are there for your one big hit 20 years ago and have never heard the 6 albums you've made since then.

God hates us - Avenged Sevenfold

Silversun Pickups. How were they not bigger than Smashing Pumpkins? They don't sound dated at all.

They're headlining 2000 trees. The promoter has put on shows with them in Bristol and is a fan of their performance.

Witchtripper - Down

I think Supergrass reformed in 2019 (bad timing).

I wouldn't go to Glastonbury again no matter who played although this year's lineup is tempting it's not worth the ticket price to me. I don't like the mountains of litter mashed in to every inch of the ground, the enormous size of the site, the smell and the ticket price. I go to smaller festivals now which are half the price and much nicer atmosphere and cleaner.

There would be some yellow for fame. Probably more chance of getting girls as well

When was the last time any of them had a hit? I think Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol were one hit wonders and those hits were a very long time ago now.

Paz Lenchantin and Georgia South are possibly the two best and coolest. I'd even go as far say Paz is the best bassist the Pixies have had

Female bassists are often far more cool than us hairy arsed blokes.

Black hole sun - Soundgarden

After hearing that the Glastonbury lineup was announced, I thought I'd have a look. In recent years, I've been glad I didn't buy a ticket but this year actually looks really good. The headliners don't interest me in the slightest but I always avoided the pyramid stage anyway but this year, there's loads of really good bands further down the bill. I was shocked to see Deftones in there along with Gary Numan, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Weezer. Biffy Clyro as well, I'd love to see them play their earlier stuff. Nova Twins are a bit more expected but awesome. Obviously, social media commenters say its the worst lineup in the history of festivals

My other child plays bass (and is very good). One out of two isn't too bad. Maybe I can make up for it by teaching the dog to play bass, I'm sure he could manage some Status Quo

My 13 year old daughter is going to school in corpse paint today! Something to do with book day. She doesn't play bass, she plays guitar

This applied to all bassists except Lemmy

Well Jaco only needed one neck

Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains

The grapes of wrath - Weezer

Two cups of tea - Star F***ing Hipsters
