    First of all here's a simple fact:

    EVERY year, every single band in the known world is rumoured to be playing Slane that year.

    Furthermore, Oxegen is shite. It's a pop festival that happens to have some rock, and many many 'rock', acts. Mainly, however, it's simply a means for teenagers who still live with their parents to be able to drink freely for a weekend.

    Also, what's wrong with Phoenix Park? Couldn't Pearl Jam play there? That's if those gobshites at MCD don't get it cancelled. (MCD promotions are maggots, contemptible maggots)

    Which leads me to another point: How exactly, as someone claimed earlier, would Pearl Jam be 'attached' to MCD? I know venues can be attached to different promoters, but bands? That doesn't make sense.

    I really doubt PJ would fill the Phoenix park :o it's kinda reserved for the 'sell outs', isn't it? Like RHCP, Robbie Williams, Rolling Stones and the pope :o
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

    It was the fact that we were witnessing an absolute living legend that made it good for me. As I stated in my original post, I don't like his music but his influence on music is undeniable. BTW I couldn't understand all the hype surrounding Sigur ros, I thought they were shite.

    Another highlight I forgot was finding a scumbag just about to go into my tent after returning from seeing the Spinto band. Man, I hope his face recovered alright :)
    I thought Sigur Ros were really amazing... I've never had chills like that at any other concert. Simply brilliant.

    Living legend or not, his performance and the atmosphere were shite. The Who were living legends to me... I don't know much about James Brown so wasn't too excited.

    If his perfromance and atmosphere was, to you, 'shite', then that because he shouldn't have been playing fucking Oxegen at 1am in the morning. I mean for fuck sake. So many things wrong with that situation I won't even start.

    Ok ok... no need to shout :eek:

    We all have opinions... and that was mine... and the people I was with.

    Jeez :rolleyes:

    So... you thought he was great, I didn't. Some people thought Sigur Ros were shite apparently, some thought RHCP were brilliant!

    No no, I wasn't shouting, I would have used an exclamation mark if I was. Sorry. And also I wasn't at Oxegen last year (travelled to Brighton to see the Who instead, worked out a bit cheaper, and way more enjoyable). My reasoning was that in the Olympia, his performances were out of this world, and he's known as one of the greatest performers of all time. Therefore, if this wasn't the case at Oxegen, it's likely that this could be put down to poor sound set-up, the stupid Oxegen crowd, or the fact that he had to play at 1am, after (half of) one of the greatest rock bands of all time. No insult intended.

    Sorry :o didn't mean to jump to conclusions. Well I had went to see The Who and for that reason only... so anything after that, for me, was simply pointless.. Unless it was Pearl Jam

    As much as I love Pearl Jam I'd have to agree, besides, I'm sure we'd all much rather see them do their own gig to a smaller crowd (like Marley Park for example) rather than see then in a huge field with a load of kids who are on the lash for the weekend :)

    Definitely... Marley Park was great for Radiohead last year, the day after the point gig incidently, Pearl Jam would be good there. Pity we dont have any decent sized indoor venues with good acoustics.

    James Brown was a legend before The Who were ever thought of. Good as they were, they couldn't lace JB's shoelaces as far as performing goes. I've seen the RHCP 3 times and they were crap every single time.

    Back on topic. As long as it's not Paddy Casey opening I'll go anywhere to see them in Ireland.
    Hello, is there anybody in there?

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Just to say, Snow Patrol confirmed themselves for Oxegen this year. They better not be anywhere near PJ on the bill, or even in terms of distance.
    Hey hey it's okay...
