Ed209 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Zane does chat a lot of bollocks a lot of time. He wants to sound intelligent and profound and hype everything, but he's just boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webstl Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ive always thought Glastonbury rules, Reading and Leeds are ok, but only if you like the line up. If you didnt like any of the bands you could still go to Glastonbury and still have an amazing time, but at R/L you would be just be paying a lot of money to camp in a car park! Both are better than V. Having said that, Id rather be in a field listning to loud music on a summers afternoon, than stuck in real life! And I dont think (on the radio at least) Zane is that bad.

Ladybug-nina Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 i would say Reading is more like an ugly uncle who wants to show you his iron maiden denim patches by the urinal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaveak47 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Along with the Leeds & Reading announcement on Radio 1 Zane said Glastonbury is the 'mother festival' that everybody wants to protect and Leeds & Reading are the 'daddy'.

theleedslads Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not been to Reading, but from TV the site doesnt look a patch on the Leeds one, plus the fact the volume has to be lower than Leeds is pretty shit! A festival really needs to be in open fields in the countryside somewhere! GLASTO, LEEDS, T, all great surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glastofun Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 What utter crap. John Peel hasn't been replaced with anybody and Zane Lowe doesn't think he's John Peel. If anybody on Radio 1 is being groomed as a new John Peel it's Rob Da Bank, but even then it's tenuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 100 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 It isn't even tenuous. Rob Da Bank is by no means being groomed as the new John Peel. He has his own unique and significant contribution to new music in a way very different from John Peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Biley Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Why so much hate folks? I don't particularly like Zane, but so what, plenty of people do, but I dont hate him, I just don't listen to him...And I don't like the idea of Reading, Leeds, etc (the 'idea' because Ive never been), so I just dont and won't go...simple as that...but I dont hate them...

russycarps Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 You have obviously never been to Rockness, its on the banks of Loch Ness. It is literally one of the most stunning places in the UK. If you were to use 1 picture to describe Scotland you would use this place as the scene. These photos don't really give it justice but anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyelo Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) when is rockness? is there not a horrific midge problem there, being on the banks of a loch? Edited March 31, 2009 by BenchBuddah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger2k Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Zane Lowe is an utter twat who thinks he's the next john peel. Give it up zane, no one is gonna beat the origional legend. R.I.P John Peel, you have been replaced with an utter cock. Cheers, BlackHole2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benj Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 he's still a bit of an over-enthusiastic idiot sometimes, but hes a thoroughly decent bloke, and have to say that in person, not up himself one bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scappaflow Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 All very academic and a bit pointless. They are different things to different people, and I'm sure there are thousands who go to both since they are months apart. Now what is better... Reading or Leeds... that's more of a debate because you can't go to both. Unless you have a helicopter. Likewise T and Oxegen etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiveringsky Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The problem with Zane Lowe is his interview technique. He never asks a band a question without answering it himself in the process. Rule of good journalism 101: Any question that the person being interviewed (i.e the one people are interested in hearing answers from) can answer with a simple yes or no is not the right question to ask, or the right way to ask it.

radish Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 actually, i used to think that up till i went to see the foo's at wembley last year during the set he was really trying to rock out and have some fun but an endless stream of kids kept shouting at him trying to get his attention from the stands (he was in the vip section by the tunnel) and not once did i see him refuse to chat to someone, sign an autograph or even just acknowledge a positive hand signal. even when he was properly wigging out he'd come out of it to make time for people that wanted to chat to him. he's still a bit of an over-enthusiastic idiot sometimes, but hes a thoroughly decent bloke, and have to say that in person, not up himself one bit!
