June 24, 201114 yr You can just tell Zane Lowe isn't a U2 fan hahaha Zane Lowe hates all bands that he didn't make get big
June 24, 201114 yr neither is Jo Whiley, from what i recall. she's mentioned on Never Mind The Buzzcocks that she can't stand Coldplay. but i guess she had to compensate for Zane's lack of enthusiasm. heh :P
June 24, 201114 yr That was fantastic. Bono's voice sounded incredible! I was so immersed in their setlist that my brother say 'hey they didn't play City of Blinding Lights!'. I was shocked! How could they?! Still if it was in the setlist it'd be a bonus because it was fucking fantastic. Their Achtung Baby start was phenomenal (especially The Fly and Until The End Of The World which still sounds as epic as it has ever done) and With Or Without You was just spine tingling. Over to you Coldplay. p.s PolarMonkey - Jo Whiley is about as big a Coldplay fangirl as you will get! She was the one along with Steve Lamacq who made them noticed over a decade ago. p.p.s - Primal Scream look an absolute fucking state
June 24, 201114 yr They didn't play the Flowering Rose of Glastonbury now that I think of it :shocked3:
June 24, 201114 yr I've followed U2 on and off for about twenty five years...thought it was a bit lame, but things don't always carry properly on TV :\ neither is Jo Whiley, from what i recall. she's mentioned on Never Mind The Buzzcocks that she can't stand Coldplay. but i guess she had to compensate for Zane's lack of enthusiasm. heh :P She was joking about Coldplay ;)

June 24, 201114 yr p.s PolarMonkey - Jo Whiley is about as big a Coldplay fangirl as you will get! She was the one along with Steve Lamacq who made them noticed over a decade ago. ugh! that's just plain confusing then! so she was just joking to go along with the crowd/team sentiment on the show? :confused:
June 24, 201114 yr It was good. NOT EPIC. I expected more.. Tomorrow Coldplay :dance: What could they have done to make it more Epic?
June 24, 201114 yr ugh! that's just plain confusing then! so she was just joking to go along with the crowd/team sentiment on the show? :confused: No. She was joking AGAINST the team. It's irony (very British). They knew she adores Coldplay. That was the joke.

June 24, 201114 yr ugh! that's just plain confusing then! so she was just joking to go along with the crowd/team sentiment on the show? :confused: No it's just because loads of people know of her affection towards Coldplay so she was just playing with them. Also loved Bono's rendition of Jerusalem just before Streets. He knows his hymns and the legend of that place. Epic set - but that's really the least you'd expect from them really.

June 24, 201114 yr The Achtung Baby set at the start was absolutely fantastic, after that it was still really good but didn't live up to the first five songs. I'd rate it 8/10, but if I were there I'd have probably thought it was sensational. The energy was definitely there throughout.
June 24, 201114 yr Just appalled at the Twitter feed for U2 right now. :dozey: We know Bono has a bit of an ego, just don't get into a big deal over it.
June 24, 201114 yr Just appalled at the Twitter feed for U2 right now. :dozey: We know Bono has a bit of an ego, just don't get into a big crap about it. They're just upset ******s who didn't see a protest. Protesters were battered down by U2 fans and security almost instantly.
June 24, 201114 yr Even I don't agree with U2 on the tax thing...oh well, it's Glastonbury. :shrug: The gig was great though. Missed half of it live but I'm listening to the rest now. Just regret that some of their more-played songs (Magnificent, COBL, Zooropa) during the 360 Tour didn't get on the setlist.

June 24, 201114 yr Just saying, this is the first time COBL hasn't been played since its debut isn't it?
