Headliners 2016

And also because they're laughably shit.

in your opinion

[dentalplan]

And mine.

[The Nal]

in your opinion

 

Well obviously. Otherwise every post everywhere online would have to start or end with "in my opinion".

 

But seriously, they're shit. 2-3 tunes aside.

 

This is the best Maiden related thing ever.

Tbf, just 'being shit' isn't the biggest barrier to headlining. Kasabian did play after all.

This is true. Lots of shit have played before. But shit that people know. Wonder what percentage of Glasto goer couldn't name a single Maiden tune.

[Purple aki squat]

Indeed. Glastonbury is far too corporate and middle class for Bruce.

Here's a recent picture of him.

Cheap suit.

No school tie.

He's still got it

Wit Woo Bruce, you can fly a plane. Now fuck off.

yep, being a rich kid helps you be a top fencer and get a pilot's licence.... unless fencing is now the new popular sport at your local comp?

I went to a comp and did fencing there.

That's public school education, right there.

We didn't call it that. It had "fallen off the back of a lorry" round our way.

[HGavin]

I reckon Tool should. Or at least within the next 5 years.

 

Not even a fan though. I'd rather Prince, another Blur set or equivalent classic Brit band (Stone Roses perhaps), and then the inevitable Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran set which you know is coming, like it or not

They did fencing at our school. Well, a little bit. And at the council run Sports Centre.

Edit: my school was a comp. A biggish one, but a comp. I did fencing myself for a couple of years, until I discovered beer and became too out of shape.

Bruce can still fuck off though.

I wish I went to to a comp. I went to a "technology college" where the cricket areas were used for underage smoking.

 

 I once scored 2 rounders in an inter-house championship by standing still and letting everyone else be worse than me.

[Gnomicide]

Woodwork doesn't count.

There it is!!!

[Gnomicide]

First album's good. As is. If first Bruce album. After that it's the odd song per album that's worth owt. All the rest are a slight variation on phantom of the opera, iron maiden, number of the beast or hallowed be thy name but not as good.

In my teens I was a huge Maiden fan. First gig I went yo was them at Libpool Royal Court in 1981.

The first 3 albums are all excellent but it's been diminishing returns ever since. By 7th Son I couldn't take any more.

I'd fucking hate them to play Glastonbury.

Cricket areas?

Inter house championship?

Gideon dear boy you've done well.

Cinder track was where it was at.

[Gucci Piggy]

I played football at school.

Who the fuck does fencing?

[the wonderwhy]

We got a bunch of those foam swords you get in shit tourist shops at castles delivered once, presumably so we could do some sort of health and safety approved fencing. 

 

P.E teacher took one look at them and told us to go back to playing Rugby on the concrete. Had some good times with them & sub teachers though. 

 

Also, surely inter-house is a thing everywhere? Sports day?

The only fencing that goes on at any school other than Eton, is the fencing of stolen property.

Good old dodgy Dave who use to steal a 6 pac of coca cola cans from tesco and sell them for a quid each at lunchtime

Houses aren't a thing everywhere.

[fatyeti24]

Houses aren't a thing everywhere.

In this context, i honestly have no idea what is being referred to!

[Mardy]

More importantly, if they play, will we get a reading of Lord Iffy Boatrace up at the crows nest or the Free University of Glastonbury? one of the defining classics of late 20th century literature that.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah we had sports day and also sports morning, which was an inter-form football tournament for the boys and netball for the girls (you could swap onto the other gender if you preferred to).

You don't have to run in fencing. I figured it was the sport for me.

Of course, after 6 free lessons, you had to start paying for after school classes. That put a stop to that.
