Agreed - massive downturn in quality and upturn in ego since the awful AM album. Half decent before that. At list Foo Fighters rescued the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 641 Posted June 24, 2023 Hard to disagree on the Arctic Monkey first album is a stone cold classic hard to imagine writing songs as good as a certain romance as a teenager. As for the Foo Fighters I wonder if Therapy think as the Foo clearly stole there sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,224 Posted June 24, 2023 Must be one of the poorest headliners ever, very average at best and a far cry from previous appearances at Glastonbury. As above, without Foo Fighters it would have been a pretty poor day to open the festival. Everyone's really there to see Rick Astley today though, let's be honest 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted June 24, 2023 I was a fan of AM up to when they started dressing like 50's rockers and making lounge-pop. I'm all for bands branching out and changing up their style but that isn't a sound that appealed to me and it felt like a triumph of style over substance. I get why they changed course because it feels like there's been a bit of an indie-rock hangover going about right now where people are tired of that type of mid-2000's rock sound, kinda similar to the britpop hangover people felt in the 2000's that actually ended up popularizing bands like AM who at the time sounded really fresh after the britpop era. Funny thing is that's kind of come around again and a lot of people are enjoying Oasis/Blur etc right now so no doubt in the future that type of sound that early AM had will become popular again and if they're still around they might end up making another energetic rock album. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,274 Posted June 24, 2023 I can't see the AMs being around as long as the Foo Fighters. It isn't about who is the best musician, best singer etc it's about entertainment. The AMs are becoming a very acquired taste. That set was a yawnfest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Monkeys don't do that. Just be thankful there are bands doing that because in ten years time your music will be written by an AI computer. Or Ed Sheeran!!!
