What was with people's distaste of the keyboardist at Wembley?

I found it extremely rude and and felt sorry for the guy after he put all his effort in his playing only to get booed when Eddie introduced him.

I've also not read a bad review about the show but personally I much prefered Reading Festival show...it felt more emotional and I liked the setlist more than Wembley...plus the sound really was quite bad last night...I couldn't hear all the lyrics unfortunately.

Maybe it was because I was sitting but the atmosphere was nothing like Reading. I don't think I like Arena's...outside concerts are so much more fun.

    I'm not gonna take the bait here. In fact I'm pretty sure you're fishing for some daft sod to tell you why-or are you the daft sod here? I give up.

    Funnily enough, yesterday afternoon I said to Swede, 'So how many threads do you think there'll be tomorrow about people "booing" at Boom?'

    why do you feel sorry for him?

    he's got a cool name that people yell in appreciation

    i'd rather people yell my name then clap like fools

    at least you know it's for you

    plus... if you really were being booed... you wouldn't know it

    i have the same problem

    louuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)


    anyway... i made a t-shirt

    anyone want one?

    That's what I was doing. But "Kenneth" sounds a bit like "Eddie" from the other end of the arena ...

    "Plus if you were being booed, you wouldn't know it" That was funny.

    Leave the original poster alone. He admits he is new around here.

    Now can anyone tell me why Dave A left the band????

    Ed didn't like him, Simple as that. Dave thought he was a f'uckin rockstar baby', and Ed could see that the world needed something new,something more from it's rock musicians, than 'rockstars' biggin it up. Harsh at the time, but visionary brilliance when looked back upon.JUK
