Glastonbudget - it really is better than Glastonbury!!!

You know.. the main thing holding me back, is like its having too much food on your plate.. a decent tribute band needs time to savour.. seeing 12/15 in one weekend seems almost gluttoness.

:(

Like having too many easter eggs :(
 
Yes - the Blackpool Festival of Punk Rocks a different matter though, 4 days of punk at the Winter Gardens, a decent northern B&B, early morning paddling in the Irish Sea.. Beat that Michael Eavis!! :mad: :)
 
poor hollis. i like him a lot but i'm afraid something bad has happened to his head :(
 
Kinda wish I was going to glasto now, some great bands on the Jazz stage.

And um... Glastonbudget:

You haven't missed much-although last week found the best clothes shop ever there-looked like run down shop selling crap but upstairs full of weird slutty retro cool clothes for a few quid a throw:cool:
Ahem-sorry to derail-glastonbudget does look OK but I still think this is best value fest this year www.thewickermanfestival.co.uk/

Will - check out the list of REAL ALES - you won't find this at the Eavis bash.
Real ale? Yes please!
An endless succession of ridiculous tribute bands? No thanks!

Triple eek!

Noooooooooooooo!

Meh, its just a but of fun init. Think its a bit elitist to snigger at them, takes balls to stand up on stage and sing someone elses songs... badly.

Only go if you like watching seagulls pick at vomit from many a stag and hen night. The Great British Sea Front, coffin dodgers, vomit and pissd up lads. Brings a tear to the eye that kind of high brow culture.

Nothing to do with being "elitist," mate. I just can't bear to see great songs being destroyed by bizarre cartoon bands with awful duffers desperately trying to sound like someone else.

I've no problem with a covers band, but when they start trying to look like the acts and - even worse - start putting on their mannerisms a la Stars In Their Eyes, then I'm outta there.
 
Don't mind that as long as its part of the act. If it something they have adopted into their everday life... well, then cast them aside for hades.

I wonder if he goes to the shops thinking he's Ian Brown? :D

Indeed a good tribute band will bring out the true quality of the original songs in a live envrionment.. if they dresss up as well.. well that's just a bonus.. :)
 
I would like to have been at the conversation that started up a Coldplay tribute band.

That had to be done in a Harvesters.
 
I'd like to say it's a joke that I made up but in fact one of my most favourite people ever came up with it this weekend just gone, last year.

It was a sunday afternoon that had started on friday night and we had all been taking that dodgy not mdma stuff that makes you feel like you've had a stroke on the one side of your face and makes you cry out of one eye on the other...so when he came out with that one, fast as you like, it was quite impressive I reckon.
