Guest neil ex Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 or yousef keeping everyone awake by letting their tents down and poking them with sticksI didn't let any tents down! That was Fat Mike, and Fat Mike did pretty much all of the poking aswell. I just sat and laughed... Well I may be guilty of poking at a few silhouettes I must admit..It was quite disturbing how people reacted actually (but I shouldn't fuckin' be surprised!)..

Guest neil ex Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Fat mike is just about the best name I have ever heard.He refers to himself and encourages us to call him Fat Mike and he makes jokes about his 'man boobs'.... Otherwise I probably wouldn't refer to him as Fat Mike, Cause that would be nasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad i seen them instead of the killers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Queens of the Stone Age - Go With The FlowThe Coral - Dreaming Of YouThe Subways - Rock and Roll QueenAudioslave - Cochise Ian Brown - I Wanna Be Adored (first song and only one without wailing feedback, before he fucked it all up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonz Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Highlights:The Subways - Oh YeahThe Futureheads - Decent Days and NightsMaximo Park - Graffiti (what was up with the front man with his Nazi salutes and military style of talking?)The Duke Spirit - Quite impressive, I'll keep my eyes out for themRazorlight - WowLows:James Brown - Half an hour late, followed by a 15 min introduction. He then launches into 2 awful songs. I left and went to see the Foo's, was so gutted about leaving but I knew I wouldn't enjoy it had I stayed.Kaiser Chiefs - Thought they were really bad, could barely hear them and the music sounded hollow.Wish i'd been able to see (damn clashes):Interpol, Super Furries, Killers, Magic Numbers and Prodigy Couldn't get in the tent for the Magic Numbers which was a shame, liked what I heard though and they seemed to be enjoying it.One band I saw at the T Break stage (it was either The Blue Van, Red Serpent something or the Paddingtons - around when Snoop Dogg was on) were all right. They were Danish and trying a bit too hard to please the crowd (dedicating a song to haggis?!) They had a 15 minute last song (last 10 minutes just going wild on the guitars) and really looked to be enjoying it. Ruined it at the end by saying they were meeting with Pete Waterman later in the week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Rocker Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I saw some James Brown on the TV, and from what I saw his band were mindblowingly good. He didn't sing much though, and that wife of his is a bit of muppet...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJimF Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Did you see one single complete set?!!My mate was wanting to go and see as many bands as possible, i couldn't be arsed though and lost him at some point. I really don't see the point in doing it. You make the bands you really want to see a priority then have a wonder when your not fussed about seeing anything, thats how i saw the paddingtons, i was really impressed with them as well.

And there was only about 2 gigs where i was myself, having 17 of us probably helped.Can u not just wait and see the paddingtons in aberdeen?

[/quote']Its nae exactly hard plus i only left half the bands to see other bands coz they were shite, the killers, greenday, kaiser chiefs to name but a few, and i never ran once, its nae hard to look at the set times and wander over to another stage.There was only a couple of bands who i only heard a few songs, i wud rather stumble over to the main stage for 20 minutes than sit in a tent for half an hour waiting on sum1 to come on, you can still have a laugh and get drunk while watching a band, in fact our funniest times were dancing to bands, i bet half you ppl didnt have as much fun as we all did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 ...I went to see very little on the Saturday and fuck all (worth mentioning) on the Sunday (deliberetly caught a bit of the Prodigy). Sat in the sun most of the day and laughed at the fact that there were soooo many acts playing that I should see, but didn't care! I did see 'The Very' as I mentioned esle where and, wow!I would never pay to go to T in The Park though! Too old for that much hard work!(meant light heartedly)JimpsI will add that I am now feeling deep remorse that I didn't pay more attention to the listings!
