V Festival, what did you think ?

[bhaexpress]

Watched this on and off over the weekend, pity about the sound.

Thought Faithless were outstanding and Go Team and Paul Weller delivered. Kasbian were good too but the rest just made up the numbers as far as I'm concerend. However, Rufus Wainwright, what's the big deal ?

I thought Kasabian were utter shite, That lead singer of theirs makes me want to punch something plus it stopped us form seeing extended higlights of radiohead who are by far and away the best live band ever.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm a bit worried about 'Empire' the single, hope the rest of the new Kasabian album is less dad-rock.

Morrissey blew everyone else out of the water as far as I could see.

Faithless are fantastic and Maxi Jazz is a massive palace fan so you have got to love them!

 

[Stinky Kat]

whole thing looked like souless corporate shit

Rufus Wainwright, what's the big deal ?

seen rufus twice at the dome, he is fantastic! each to their own i suppose.....

 

[Meade's Ball]

Its the weekend of adult MOR or childish yawns. The sort that leaves my imaginative cells crippled and creased. Kasabian make me angry with their unartistic braggadocio posteur and their words written in secret behind on constant sickly canvass.

I agree, would have loved to have been there but "work" commitments
Rest of the line up seemed ok, Jamie T is pretty good and go team rule!!

Have to say Hard-fi were pretty good too!

i thought they were pretty average actually


what was their lead singer doing to his voice? sounded really mental

I forgot them, why has everybody suddenly started to knock them ? Personally I reckon they're a pretty good outfit and totally undeserving of a lot of the abuse they get on here.

 

[Wilka]

Radiohead, Morrissey, Bloc Party, Delays, James Dean Bradfield, Upper Room, Morning Runner were some of my hightlights.

Morrissey was amazing. Nearly everyone went to watch Razorlight though. I've never been able to get near the front for a headliner so easy! Good weekend of music but the usual chav crowd for V at Chelmsford!

i don't even mind their music- its not bad...not great, but not bad


it's just their lead singer annoys me beyond belief, and i therefore find myself hating them with a passion

 

[Meade's Ball]

I knock Hard-fi because they're a Witherspoons Saturday Night Orchestra who sing with the strengths of Matrix 2 and 3. A 2006 mildly electronic new Kids on the Block with the faces of medium youngsters who've just missed the bus they were going to tag a word like FEELERS on.

 

[Albion Dan]

The crowd at Chelmsford at V last year has to be the worst I have come across for any festival of that size ever, it has put me off ever going there again. Shame because the first few years were spot on.

Saw some of it on tv, nothing looked that great imo.

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

Got back from V Chelmsford earlier today, it was a quality weekend of music. To see so many great bands and artists in such a short space of time was just immense. Highlights for me were Dead 60s, The Rifles, Kasabian, Dogs, The Go! Team, Faithless and Morrissey.

Song of the festival though was 'In The Crowd' by Weller assisted by the drum solo by Stevie White which followed which was just mindblowing.

And Morrissey opening with 'Panic' was also up there as a well special moment!

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Did anyone record the highlights that were on CH4 on Saturday night?
My girlfriend went and she was right at the front of the stage for the Charlatans set at Weston Park, she was on the big screen for a while and may be on the telly.
