    Electric Picnic is much more chilled and prices out the more unlikable element.:)
    Ya but Electric Picnic normally has a worse line-up IMO. Would rather see a band I love and put up with drunks than go to a meh festival with a more relaxed atmosphere.

    I'm always pretty meh about the Oxegen line up. And the atmosphere would crucify me! Electric Picnic would be more my thing.

    I would rather be slapped with a dead fish than go to Oxegen!

    HYAH!

    True but the thing about a festival you only ever see about five acts as you spend the rest of your time **** drinking and having a good time with your mates.

    The line up is balls this year.

    I just checked the line up, Crystal Castles who I like are playing, apart from that nobody interests me except Leftfield.:(

    Really just Leftfield for me and I saw them at EP last year. Wouldn't mind seeing The Strokes, Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys but I ain't gonna go to the hassle of actually buying a ticket and going to see them.

    I'll hold out to see what EP has on offer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    CC are ****e live, and I was disapointed with Leftfield at EP. But if they are indoors it might be a change!

    Weezer are the only act I really want to see, might buy a day ticket

    I loved Leftfield at EP. One of the highlights of my weekend.

    But I would agree that they'd be better indoors.

    Same. I'll get a day ticket for Foos.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    If Foos, weezer and jimmy eat world all play the same day i might head on down to check them out.

    Delighted blink might not be playing. :D

    The Script are shíte. Guitar music for people who do not particularly like, or get, music.

    Wouldn't go that far. I'd say they are proper modern pop. People enjoy the music.

    Question. Is R.E.M's latest as bad as Accelerate was?

    They were done with me when the middle aged woman who used work here liked them because she felt they were the "in thing". Soured with me from that moment.

    I agree with you that they aren't great. I liked two songs off the 1st album. Hated everything else they did. Very much the new Snow Patrol AKA the biggest Irish band while U2 are gone.

    I dont "like" them myself but I would take them a million times before the Lady Gagas and Rihannas of the world. Theres a bit of decency in them like.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab


    Lady Gaga > The Script. I was suprised at how much I enjoyed her at Oxegen!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Shamefully, I like Lady Gaga. She is funny and has good videos. Would not have her on my iPod mind you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    What's the most embarrassing song/artist ye have on your ipods? Have Michael Bublé on mine.

    She along with Rihanna makes really catchy pop music, The Script like Take That are to boring for my liking.

    I had that awful crowd who had a song in Scrubs (episode where one of them was in hospital and was missing his gig, so the evil blonde surgeon snuck the band in before the gig). Downloaded thr alum, and man was it awful crap.

    Also had that Sam Sparro one. Brutal, awful terrible shíte.

    Lady Gaga is actually a great, classically trained musician. She is way more talented than most moody, polo neck wearing indie bands! If you see her live, she is fantastic. I sound like a Lady Gaga mark, but is very talented.
