FloorFiller Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 for the last time, Eminem does sing (well, rap) live, he just has a backing track to fill in for whenever he runs out of breath (due to his songs being quite demanding in the rapping department) along with a hype man. a lot of rappers do it. there are even some bands that do it. it's an irrelevant point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucksy Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Think the only act almost everyone on this forum would be happy with headlining is Daft Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dip Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Saw Eminem at TITP 2010 and he was incredible. He does rap live, really not sure where this mime thing has come from. He's an incredible act and a real rarity. Well up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEMON_WOLF Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Woo Eminem, in all seriousness I can't help but feel its a boring announcement. Is Depeche Mode or Pearl Jam too much to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Very true, he can't sing live as singing live is demanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseboy11 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I know what you mean FloorFiller, although seeing I've seen Jay and Kanye and they don't use them. Although Eminem does Rap a bit faster sometimes but there's not too much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseboy11 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Some absolute dullard chav on facebook has bought a weekend ticket just for Eminem, I'm not sure if he's even aware it's a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 You could say that about all the older headline acts though. What was the last thing The Strokes did which could be described as cutting edge, for example? Or Pulp, RATM, Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, etc. I like all those bands but it's hard to deny that their peak was in the 90s (early 2000s in The Strokes' case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 yep so as i said he raps live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) There really is no pleasing some people. Thought he was great at V, and i will be seeing him again. If you don't like it go cry and masturbate looking at lineup posters from the 90s Edited December 10, 2012 by kaosmark2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Kanye doesn't rap very fast though... and neither Jay. not to the same extent as Eminem, anyway. they're much more about the flow and lyrics. i know the argument could be made that 'if you can't do it live, then don't do it on record' but obviously a big part of Eminem's draw when he began was his speed so i can't see him slowing down on record now purely so that he can do it live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 ...I do wonder what would please some Reading fans. Maybe it's time to start going to another festival eh? We don't want Biffy or Mumford they're not big enough or good enough.....we don't want the Cure because we don't know enough of their songs, we don't want Eminem he's past his prime and too poppy, we don't want the Arctics or The Killers or Kings of Leon, they've played too much, we don't want Arcade Fire because we don't know any of their songs. Who the fuck do people want? Led Zepplin with Jesus on drums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I go to other festivals. Reading's close, easy to do, and a cheap way to see big bands that are often on exclusives though. I want it to have good lineups because I know how to do Reading for 1/2 the price I do Bestival. And in terms of who the fuck I want: DAFT PUNK!

kaosmark2 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) i went to Bestival the past two years and i must've spent twice the money i would've had i gone to Leeds. i love that festival but goddamn is it pricey to go to if only Daft Punk would tour again. i wouldn't care what festival they played or where it was. i would be there Edited December 10, 2012 by kaosmark2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRichards23 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Have a feeling Eminem will bring along some special guests... Rihanna, Dre, 50 Cent(?), D12... Dead looking forward to it, will be a privilege to see one of my ultimate favourites in music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 fantastic post. i'd actually like to hear who people want? what are people's ideal three realistic headliners for this years festivals!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
