JJTee Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Well someone had to start it, so I thought why not me?! Seeing as the reason why I picked up the bass in the first place - Duff McKagan - will be playing with GN’R, I will be watching at least that performance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Judging from the full line up it looks like nearly every band in Britain is playing there this year. Is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Slash's band there several years ago and was really disappointed. They played far too many GNR songs and it was just like seeing a covers band play the pyramid stage. If I was there this year I'd be seeing Skindred, The Damned, Viagra Boys and QOTSA and just spend the rest of the weekend wandering around just watching random stuff, drinking poor quality, warm beer, sampling different food and confusing people who have had too many psychedelic drugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm looking forward to it. I'm getting a taxi at 4:20 tomorrow morning to head to my mates house in Midsomer Norton, so we can leave there by 5, and then I can set the tent up and my wife is coming on Thursday after handing childcare over to the grandparents! Baby free weekend! Not got a lot starred in the app so far. Need to have a proper browse with my breakfast apple juice (cider) after getting set up. Any other basschatters attending?

Tell the drive to turn the radio down when coming through Paulton! Enjoy the cider and the music. I have dreadful Glastonbury envy this year apparently that’s down to the Elton effect. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read an interview with David Furnish this morning where he mentioned that Elton is going to be bringing a couple of special guests out for his Glasto set. No hint as to who though.

I'll guess Dave Grohl will be one of Eltons guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the benefit of the unitiated Mr Rose only comes on for the heavy bit and they only sing together over the very last lines, but it's it's not beyond the realms of possiblity that Elton could assemble enough of the original personel to recreate it.....
