Green Day at T in the Park

prole-art-threat [Edit] [Delete] 50 replies 11:46, 11 July '05

Was watching the coverage last night on BBC with Edith Bowman and a Council house version of Colin Murray -all not too bad until they said they couldnt bring 'us' any Green Day as they refused to have any footage shown on telly as they were making a DVD

I dont like this band of branded cartoon US punk - now I just know they are probably more corporate than Fred Durst yet everyone for some reason thinks they are they have the political nous of Jello Biafra

Re: Green Day at T in the Park

Bloc Party saying they enjoyed playing with "Fatty Argos" in their interview was fucking hilarious.

  Now I know you don't mean that.........They've had a lot of coverage lately, I don't blame them for wanting to tone it down a bit.

    I don't think that was the point. They don't want to take sales away from the DVD they have coming out. If they were to allow themselves to be shown playing live on TV, then that would reduce sales.

      They're perfectly entitled to do that though...
      
      I don't see the fuss. Bands trying to make more money? OMG!!!

        its not that its just the rather draconian way they go about it -lets face it like a lot of bands 'like' them they are purely a money spinning machine disquised as 'good time gonzo rock' or whatever - Next to them Limp Bizkit have the morals of Crass

        I just mean.....they can do it if they want. They were never under contract to let themselves be filmed (well, presumably) and it's different from releasing singles, which obviously is about making money too, it just annoys me more.
        
        The sound was atrocious from the T coverage I saw, perhaps they didn't want shit video footage which they had no control over coming out (insert - all video footage of GD is shit comment here if you like) I dunno, it just doesn't seem that big an issue to me that's all.

        good point - I tuned in and it was Travis, I watched for 2 mins then flicked over. Turned back on about 45 mins later and its still fucking Travis!! I'd rather be doused in petrol and sent off to by my cigerette smoking friend a lighter than sit through that.

        I swear they showed someone crying in the front row during Travis. Openly weeping, to "Turn".
        
        That person has musical taste equivalent to Robert Mugabe's taste in shirts.

        all I saw was Bowman and the Prodigy and Ian Brown though they showed a bit of Interpol who were as usual as quiet as the grave - such a shame
        
        Ian Brown's voice was a banshee like as ever - every time he starts singing I have to cross myself and check the bolts on the door

        That other dude called Bloc Party the Kaiser Chiefs at the start too. Good lad.
        
        I can understand why people like the Kaiser Chiefs. Which is more than I can say for Bloc Party.

        I dislike both but if I had to chose between them as a means of punichment I'd say the Chefs - at least Ricky Tomlinson's voice is like Carl Wilson unlike Keke Rosburg who sounds like an archived fart

        I liked your non put down phase prole or the times when you knock out good arguments against industry complacency/bands etc. That one was just cheap and not accurate. I'd rather Kele over Kaiser Chiefs any day. At least you can dance to it or block it out becomes a tired defence after a while(most used by the defence for the house of kaiser.)

        I love Kaiser Chiefs. Although I am beginning to think I'm the only person, as I've yet to fail to be met with derision when I mention liking them; they're just great pop music.
        
        Bloc Party are alright too, I suppose; but I'm less keen.
        
        Didn't see either of them at T in the Park though. I was seeing something else.. Bright Eyes? Malcolm Middleton maybe?

        I disagree: Kele's voice is BP's best asset, I reckon.

        Well they're the only band of the recent crop of bands (in which I include Kaiser Chiefs, Futureheads, Hard-Fi, etc.) that I can listen to with any regularity. :-D
        
        Tracks like Helicopter, She's Hearing Voices and The Price of Gasoline are great, methinks. Tracks like So Here We Are and Banquet quite far from great. :-S

        Can I point out that its ok to not like Bloc Party though I do feel my life is at risk in N16 sometimes - and the Chefs are v.britpop because I think the'yve been griding away at their 'act since about 1994 anyway - I dont like either band but I dont think this makes me culturally irrelevant or Richard Littlejohn's stepson
        
        Hard Fi sound like a bad bit of a Daft Punk record. Sort of

        I saw Hard-Fi live. Thought they were a decent support act, no more no less. I have never, will never buy their records. I wouldn't be disapointed if they supported a band i went to see again. They were pretty good musicians and the songs are ok.

        I think I might have seen them. Were they the other support with Kaiser Chiefs and the Cribs? If so, I remember thinking they were boring, with a couple of quite catchy tunes.

        I find it more funny how they try to get a T into everything ont he signs there.
        
        My favourite being "Mo<red>T</red>ors" for the car park. And then it has "Car Park" underneath in case noone had any idea what they were talking about. Although you really dont need a sign to know where the car park is anyway...
        
        I think there was some coverage on bbc2, but that might just have been in scotland.
