Headliners 2023

[stuartbert two hats]

My favourite Elton song is actually Song For Guy, not exactly a stadium filler, to put it mildly.  So few words, Elton managed to write them all by himself.

Lovely little track, used to enjoy it on the Moods compilation as a child in the early 90s, didn't even know it was Elton until years later.

They’ll be 5 and 3 when the festival rolls round.

Had a weekend away with them last weekend and it left me under no illusions as to the challenge we face.

Aw man yes, all power to you. Good luck. They will have a blast, you will be knackered.

Drag it back. This thread was never about headliners, just tossing internet grenades at each other.

Having just spent 45 mins in a pub discussing this, the consensus was Someone Saved My Life Tonight is Reg’s best song. With Goodbye Yellow Brick Road not far behind.

That awful Cold Hearts one he now does interpolates Sacrifice so, there’s that… I suppose?

Yeah good point. But not the same. I want the full 1990 vintage experience.

Great songs. I’m going to say ‘This Train Don’t Stop’ as another that is criminally overlooked. 

Including by me. I’ll have a listen.

Absolutely this.

All the people trying to justify their vile, bullying behaviour by saying that Neil deserves it for the way he's acting need to have a word with themselves. 

Trolling keeps getting thrown around but it's the wrong word - it's bear baiting, just trying to wind someone up and it's bloody disgusting. 

No one is forcing you to respond to any comments or even post here, stop acting like you're fighting the good fight by trying to put someone who is clearly struggling in their place. 

I think you’ll find that Neil has started basically every argument recently by his obsession with gnr. 
 

Someone started a positive thread earlier called what are you looking forward to or something. Neil wades in unprompted to rant about gnr in big letters for some reason. Posts like yours make no sense cause you’re ignoring all the facts. Show me one argument from this forum from the last 3 months which wasn’t something to do with Neil ranting about gnr, you’ll struggle.

Not for any reason. It wasn't something I tried to do it just happened.

Just looked at his profile and yesterday he only said anything when you were on one of your usual gnr rants. Also noted he’s a gold member and been on here since 2005, hardly seems like someone out to get you

Someone is great, buy still puzzled by continued references to 'Sugar Bear'.

GYBR is god-tier.

I've blocked him and he still won't leave it.

Have we got a night for this? Please be the Friday!

Also some damage control being done with Lizzo as a joint headliner when that almost certainly isn’t the case
