They never should have gotten rid of Andrew Collin(g)s - he's the best DJ 6 has ever had.

Did you ever listen to the Collings and Herrin podcast?

I would call it required listening for anyone that thinks Richard Herring is just a jovial chap who just tweets about IWD.

Everywhere all over the site and stages

Still not enough heavy rock/ metal/ punks bands though.

Despite people declaring ‘rock is dead’ every year for the last 30 years, it is still a very popular genre which Glastonbury seems to miss.

Hasn’t been too bad the last few years with the Earache stage to be fair.

Yes mate, one of the GOAT all-time podcasts! Shame they (sort of) fell out in the end. That was a spin-off from Collin(g)s' 6 show too.

It's just come on a random 90s mix I'm listening to, so going to put this out there.

M People had some grooves.

I don't know if I want to ask what you thought.

Not really.  In the sense that AF is talking, Foo Fighters were the only one.

Debatable....

But even then though, 2020's line up featured Macca, Aerosmith, Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream  etc. Rock music is not a minority genre at the G.

I believe it's a reference to this jaunty little number:

Not sure if you can be against Arab Strap for being too miserable but also against jaunty little numbers about elephants.

Only decent song on the album.  I suffered my way through it yesterday so you didn't have to.  Something's still not right about it though, I bet it's miles better live.

Rock's a very broad genre, so I get what you mean.

But if you're talking about your classic Planet Rock type stuff, you don't get a huge amount of that.

That’s still not many and out of those, only Aerosmith and Primal Scream (at a push) would appeal to heavy rock fans, which is what AF was talking about.

Good point, Saxon and Ratt are the only other options available in the rock genre.

As already noted, it's a broad genre. Bands like King Gizz and Bring Me That Horizon aren't rock bands?

[Gnomicide]

Is that the first Blotzer mention of the year?

[CaledonianGonzo]

There are only two options available in the rock genre:  Bobby Blotzer and non Bobby Blotzer.

People say that Glastonbury doesn't have enough rock music, but look at this lad's back and try to tell me that it has nothing in common with the Pyramid Stage.

Noel look's too much like the head from Art Attack there for my liking.

Just so nobody creates any (additional) traumatic associations between the Pyramid and these clowns - this is Knebworth:

Clearly....but let's not say that Gallagher and the lads don't rock up to the big pointy bastard now and again.
