[Seagull on the wing]

Andre Rieu !

 

[withdeanwombat]

I've just heard a very strong rumour that the Rolling Stones are pencilled in for this,with the Wurzels as support.I talk to myself a lot.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Well if it's true that Jimmy Page is an Albion fan.

Get him to reform Led Zeppelin and let them crank it up.

 

[dennis]

Celebration of all things Brighton.

Has to be the Who performing Quadrophenia for me!

 

[Safeway]

I've heard it'll be Michael Buble. Seriously.

 

[Buzzer]

Stadium rock is shite. Bands that play stadium rock are usually sell-out shite.

The Cure? Past it and not a stadium band
Levellers? Past it and not a stadium band
FBS? What, in a stadium? Crap idea. And he's past it.
The Who? 2 are dead and of the other 2 who are still alive, one's a paedo and the other's voice is shot to pieces.
Led Zep? Past it long long long ago
Pearl Jam? Past it and Eddie Vedder's best stuff in the last ten years has been solo stuff or collaborations away from PJ.
Michael Buble? Music for people who aren't into music. That might work.
U2? I'd rather wear a Palace top and go down on Jo Brand whilst being fisted by Jeremy Hardy than listen to Bono.
Muse? Much much better at huge festivals with crowds that sweep out as far as the eye can see and a PA system you can hear for miles. (as long as they don't play their last album. Didn't care for it much)
Kasabian? hahahahaha! With Toploader supporting no doubt. That would be my dream team. Blandness personified.

I LOVE music snobs.

"If it's in a stadium it'll be shit"

ridiculous statement. A stadium is a FIELD with stands around it. People seem to have an idea that somehow those standing won't generate as much atmosphere.

Muse live is just a pure spectacle of brilliance. Saying it will be bad because it's not a festivle is really quite short sighted.

And also the 'sell out' line. ANY band that pretends they are not a sell-out and 'for the music, not the money" are clearly up their own arse or acknowledging that people are mad enough to believe that.

 

[VeronaSeagull]

My Mrs has also heard it is Michael Buble! She heard it from her hairdresser so I think her source might be quite poor

I hate stadium rock because I have seen many bands in many stadia and either they have all been rubbish or the atmosphere has been rubbish. In my experience, bands that thrive in stadia environments are sell-outs. I can't quantify it but there you go. I also am not keen on seeing bands go through the motions with yet another greatest hits performance.

I really like Muse and they are brilliant live, I agree and commented as such. You must have missed it. Festivals are completely different to stadia and generate a completely different vibe.

It's all about opinions and that's mine.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Muse are all moving to London at the moment to record their next album. The last one was launched at the Seaside Rendezvous concerts in their home town of Teignmouth - and that was a truly magical weekend.

Seaside Rendezvous II at the Amex would be spot on - with FBS opening of course!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I'm firmly in the Buzzer camp.

But to be honest, this is an event for the families and kids, and not for music snobbishness- not that a spectacle entertaining to kids and good music have to be mutually exclusive.

Micheal Buble would be rock bottom though, if it's either them or Kasabian or someone like the Zutons I'll turn up 5 minutes before the start of the game.

 

[Return of the Rev]

NICK CAVE AND GULLIES GIRLS IN A MUSICAL AND DANCE SPECTACULAR

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The gig wont be on the DAY of a game YOU SILLY SAUSAGE

Don't want loads of Emo's puking up in our new toilets, graffittiing our new renderered walls and bleeding on our brandnew concourse flooring!!!

Attila. Poetry is the new stadium rock.

 

[garethlewes]

I thought that Norman had defo said he would do the first gig?

Kasabian would be immense though!

KASABIAN, what with their old stuff being ok and now their crummy mainstream rubbish that just sounds as monotonous as everything else on the radio. FBS would be awesome but Muse would be the best I would be straight down there.
