Mezhyp1 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 8 minutes ago, Madyaker said: Ah get off your soap box. They aren't doing a private gig for Netanyahu and his cronies. There are normal Radiohead fans in Israel just like us. What you say about the regime is true but should those fans be derprived of the chance to see Radiohead live just because of the actions of their government? That doesn't sound right to me. Yes, whilst this has even a slight potential to bring profit to the government, how big or how small that may be, the band should be refusing to play there as a means of showing how unacceptable their actions are. They should be very willing to sacrifice the entertainment of some Israeli fans to send a message that the murdering cowards who are governing them are also the ones at the heart of the illegal settlements and the blood thirsty massacres Bands like Radiohead making a stance against a sickeningly corrupt regime send a big message also, instead of letting their pockets talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be plenty of people buying tickets for a whole day event, but with tickets at £65 each, it can be looked at as a Radiohead gig, with all day support really. Obviously if the support was really strong it would help, but you are paying less for this ticket, than for a ticket for an actual Radiohead gig. Not sure if it's related but a few of the older Radiohead fans I've spoke to are a bit apprehensive about going due to the festival's similarities to Gig on the Green which had a bit of a bad rep.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Sadly, it's more common to play there than to not. Only a few artists - Roger Waters, Brian Eno, Bruce Springsteen (seemingly) - have the integrity to respect the boycott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Greenwood's missus is Israeli and I believe his kids all have Israeli names.. I wonder if they're doing their buddy a favour.. they certainly won't be lining their pockets. If money was their bag, they'd add another 60 gigs to their US tour and sell out. Funny how things pan out.. Lady gaga plays the Super Bowl and she's a hero. Radiohead play Israel and they're Evil.

Mezhyp1 called the Israeli Govnt a 'sickeningly corrupt regime' (which I don't deny), but the USA (especially Trump) wholeheartedly support them and indeed their foreign, and now domestic, policy are an affront to many people world-wide.

Don't get me wrong, i couldn't be more against the USAs backing of Israel and their denial of invasion of Palestinian territories, but boycotting America for ultimatley the actions of the israeli government isn't ever going to be something they are reasonably going to do Boycotting gigs in israel, like Roger Waters has done, is an act of solidarity Edited February 8, 2017 by Mezhyp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument against HTTT was always the highs are incredible but the lows are pretty low, but after going back to it a lot recently the low points really aren't that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamium Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's my 4th Glasto this year but i've never actually had a Pyramid headline show I cared about enough to try and get in the thick of it. I generally try to avoid seeing 2 acts back to back on the same stage but I would for radiohead if that's what it took. So, for a shot at being right up front without rudely charging my way through a tight packed crowd, when's the latest I could turn up?

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Depends what you mean by 'right up front'. Youll be able to get in the pit if you're near the entrance at the time the sub finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
