eyelovefests Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Right then, over the last couple of days ive seen lots of positive things said about fatboy slim, both on the glasto forum & the v one. But doesnt he just do a dj set?? with lots of his own productions in? whats good about that? Its not even like he's produced anything worthwhile recently. Dont get my wrong, im not someone who slates dj's. I prefer dance music to anything else & go out every week watching so called 'big name' dj's. I just can't understand how he could be talked about as an otherstage headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombfrog Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why not? He seems to have an ability to put everyone in a stonkingly good mood by playing a really great selection of bouncy dance music. Why should it matter if he produced them himself?

bombfrog Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I dont think anyone is talking about him headlining the other stage, but he always puts on a good show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobobcunt Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yeh that set with the 3D glasses was incredible. Probably the festival highlight for me, was very funny how he managed to do a better version of Seven Nation Army than The WHite Stripes who were playing on the Pyramid at the same time. A bit off subject but, me and my brother had lent my dads mobile for the festival and had not yet used it or recieved a call. Midway through the Fatboy set he starts doing a great version of Cream - Sunshine of Your Love - prolonging the bass for about 7minutes. During this the mobile went of and the ringtone was Sunshine of Your Love! to say we tripped out would be an understatement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegs Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Fatboy headlining the Other stage on 05' was absolutely incredible, the stage show was ace, the man just loves Glastonbury, he apparently even spent more on his stage set/the 3D glasses, than he got paid to do it, which I thought was nice of him! Definitely a worthy Other stage headliner without a doubt (with his own tunes, not one of them DJ sets!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katster Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Personally I think folk who make dance music also make the best djs. I'd like to see Fatboy Slim again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Groove armada are also dj's. Would you be happy if they just rolled up & did a dj set? Fine if its down in the dance village, but not on one of the main stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphex's twin Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I went to Fatboy on the beach in 2008, weather was amazing for September and it was a great day out. He even played some other people's tunes, it rocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.jay. Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 i saw him live last year and me and girl i was with left midway through as he just plays records and dances like your dad at a wedding. him playing house of pain jump around was the straw that broke the camels back i could only imagine he ended his set with oops up side your head and the whole crowd sitting down rowing imaginary boats.
