I'm out of touch, never even heard of him... i thought it was talking about Jo Whiley..... :D...
i couldn't be less interested about Glastonbury if i tried...
your favorite band, small intimate venue, in the dry, cool inexpensive beer, with like minded people is where its at for me.
ahaha that's great 🙂
I do think that the greatest success of social media is giving high profile idiots the opportunity to create problems for themselves.
I reckon Prince Philip needs a twitter account 🙂
i couldn't be less interested about Glastonbury if i tried...
Oh I reckon you could.
Considering you clicked on a thread about Glastonbury (it's in the title) and commented on it.
That's my Eskiboi!
your favorite band
ABBA?
RM.

but i want to tell people... I don't want anybody thinking otherwise now do I,.... that okay with you?
If you [b]need [/b]to tell strangers you couldnt care less about something.
Then you actually[b] could [/b]care less about it.
Sorry 😉
I care a little bit, but not too much.
I'm amused by the Whiley tweets.
He's still never bettered 'Story of the Blues'. Sorry, wrong Wylie.
Who is he?
Who is this bloke?

And if your favourite band recently played London and charged over £100 for a ticket, for a gig in the open air, with thousands of others?
One of my favourite bands is Arcade Fire, they haven't played anything even close to a 'small intimate venue' in the UK since 2005, and as for 'cool inexpensive beer', you're taking the piss! Inexpensive? At a gig? In what bloody universe are you living? The last time I saw Arcade Fire was in Hyde Park, with around 60,000 like minded people; before that Ally Pally. Small, intimate venues? Perleeez.
Really... 🙄
I lol'ed!

Now i know who he is 😀
Well anybody can Google anything, but I'd never heard of him before this!
Alot of you lot need to wise up to the talented musicians right under your noses. Get out on the streets where the real music is. Streets is talking. Streets of London.
Wiley is from good heritage though, his Dad is Mark Morrison.
He's changed since his days in Wah.
Ive heard of him but had no idea what he looked liked and cant think of any of his songs
He has very good taste in trance dj's
Small, intimate venues? Perleeez.
Really...
My favorite band (and the best band in the world by the way) is
....the wedding present, so small and intimate is par of the course...
they do play the odd, small festival, but i don't bother,...eeeezy...
back catalogue is available

Nearly as old as me then. You don't have to still listen to John Peel bands from the 80s you know 😉
As a sidenote, that [url= http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/rave-video-comments-will-restore-your-faith-in-humanity ]Rave and Hardcore YouTube Comments[/url] article is ace - the kind of thing [i]Vice[/i] do very well.
I saw the wedding present whilst I was at uni in 1995, they played my freshers week. They were crap. I follow music so I know who wiley is, not my cup of tea, but, equally as sh*te as the wedding present.
The wedding present havent stayed niche out of choice, I suspect that they would give anything to be as successful as wiley, or mumford and sons, or whatever successful bands you success haters hate. But unfortunately they are not great, thats why they havent made it.
I bet you hate microsoft, starbucks, and even Tesco! Ill give ya Tesco 😉
Ps, do ya ride a fatbike, and did ya go to newcastle uni in the mid 90's, a guy in my corridor was a massive wedding present fan, and a biker.
Very funny but now I feel old as I have no idea who he is. This is not a cool thing, I want to know just to prove to myself I'm still with it, but I don't...

Yeah. Great. If you live in London. Living in a market town a hundred or so miles away, being 'street' just makes you look like a tit, 'cos Urban you ain't.
And I'm pretty wise to the talented musicians right under my nose, and, funnily enough, I'm familiar with Wiley, but urban dance and such is irrelevant.

Listen to yourself, the world of music doesn't revolve around some shabby area in the East End. 🙄
I think he may have been taking the piss ?..
Bugger, I needc to stop drinking, this is a mountain bike website.
What wheel size for Glastonbury?
Tailforth, taking the piss? 😀
This is just like being down the pub with your Dad's mates! 8)
Similar sort of thing as Dizzee Rascal, he supported Muse earlier this year, he was carp too

Very good.

I hated the John Peel show and on the odd occasion I listened to it thought it showcased poor music that insulted my ears !
It's sooooooooo unfair!
Sounds like my 4 year old son when you take him somewhere he doesn't want to go.
No idea who he is....
I can only hope he was on a main stage and that Glastonbury Management streamed his comments on the big screens...

Yeah, that would have taught him a lesson. 😐
Used to be a Glastonbury regular, but reading this and other threads has made me realise I haven't been to one this century! (how to make yourself sound really old lesson one)
One thing puzzles me. Nowadays the extortionately priced tickets sell out in a matter of seconds but the line up is not confirmed/announced until months later. In my day you went to the local record shop checked out the posters, thought "fantastic, I want to see them, him, and her and them etc." And you bought your £20 ticket to go. Surely today's Glastonbury punters don't even care who's playing seeing as how they won't be told who's on until after they've invested hundreds in their tickets? To me its odd behaviour for thousands to attend a "music" festival when they don't know what music will be on.
Mind you seeing this years line up it looks to me like it pretty much doesn't matter if you don't care about the music any way (although that is probably an age thing too!)

It's a maaaassssive party, regardless of who is playing on the main stages.
Been a fair number of times & not there this year - although I would have liked to have seen Portishead, Public Enemy and Cat Power, among others.
True noteeth it is a massive party and probably still worth going, like I said I haven't been since the 1990s so the whole thing is very different now. My point is when we used to go it was a massive party [I]and[/I] there was music you knew you would love too. If I had gone this weekend I would no doubt have still loved the massive party bit but I would be a bit peed off after paying a couple of hundred quid on a ticket to find out later that (for example) Mumford and Son were one of the "highlights" of the main stage.
Yeah, but there are something like 2000 different acts over the weekend. You know you'll get value from your ticket, whoever they put on. And Mumford & sons are headlining Sunday on just one of the many stages, so in effect about No 50 in the pecking order.
I can only hope he was on a main stage and that Glastonbury Management streamed his comments on the big screens...
You think the crowd dont already know? they will all be sat in their tents on twitter. He'd still get a huge crowd of fan's who think its 'ironic'.
Taking account of inflation, ticket prices have doubled since I last went.
And there was already far too much going on to see in the time available. Still, if it's worth it to those coughing up cash then that's up to them.
I'm too old and grumpy to enjoy the crowds anymore.
