Reading Festival 2005
Writing about web page http://www.readingfestival.co.uk
Well, just had a look at the lineup announced for the Reading festival this year (already got my ticket).
Friday
Pixies….good good, about time I got to see them.
The Killers…so we didn't get them for Final Fling, oh diddums, at least I get to see them here.
Queens of The Stone Age…Seen them before, not a big deal, but an ok filler
The Coral / Elbow…good filler
Kasabian…not a fanatical fan, but probably worth seeing, interesting decision
BRMC…not a great fan, so probably won't be watching them.
Saturday
Foo Fighters…All the albums are starting to sound the same, but be interesting to see what they're like live..
Kings of Leon..not an avid fan, but will watch them anyway, probably be good.
Razorlight…Some good songs, but most of the album was so-so, here's hoping they're good live.
Jimmy Eat World…Very happy to see them on the bill, will be watching this set I think.
Sunday
Iron Maiden…What can you say about this lot? Not entirely sure tbh..
Marilyn Manson…Is the live set really as "interesting" as ppl make out, looks like I'll have to see.
Incubus…Ok, but somewhat of a filler for me, they all seem the same.
All in all a good line up, not sure if it'll be as good as last year's awesome sunday, but looks like I'll just have to go and find out.
Feel free to comment on the bands, be interesting to see what ppl say about them.

[Skip to the latest comment]Pixies, Killers, Elbow – fantastic! Foos, KoL and Razorlight would also warrant lots of my money; think I'd happily miss Sunday though!

There's exactly one band I wouldn't mind seeing on each day. Not entirely convinced it's worth the price.

Yeah, bit annoyed at the price hike this year, about £30 more than last year when all the booking fees etsc are taken into account, but it's a good social event as well as the bands. Andy, when you say one band per day, say which ones, trying to get ppls opinions on things.

Iron Maiden

Scarily similar to the ones I'm most looknig forward too, I'll admit the sunday lineup isn't as good as fri and sat I think, but that's just my opinion.

I cant wait for Reading, its gonna kick ass.
My top three bands are gonna be the Foos (favourite band full stop,and awesome live), The Pixies who are legendary and are just great and QOTSA who were really good at V 2 years ago, and i love their music. Cant wait to see The Killers after missing them loads of times
Not arsed at all about seeing Maiden, never been a fan, Sunday is traditionally the heaviest rock day at Reading, might check out Marilyn Manson, bring on the great Incubus. Reading is gonna be great!

prepare for Boyd and Einziger
Intrepid experimention, fearless creative energy and a hard rock thrust – Incubus are ready to stun any reading crowd. I'm hoping for a few Science tracks, expecting they will focus on the equally impressive Crow…, chill out and find your spirit to morning view and wait for a perfect Pardon Me final. As Bashmore says bring on the great Incubus!!!!!!!!!!!!
NoFx also deserve a mental crowd…..........

Hey Chris,
Hope your Easter has been good.
As for Marilyn Manson being 'interesting', the first time I saw him live was at Download several years ago and I hadn't really listened to much of his stuff, hence I, bless me and my innocence, was slightly shocked by the outrageously cavorting naked ladies onstage. However, in hindsight, his stage show is purely sensationalist for the sake of it: he's earned a name for being outrageous and it follows the mould. Not a bad live performer, but nothing new.
BTW, Maiden are awesome!

Well seen as I sold the ticket because I needed the money anyway it's a moot point, would have been nice to go though.
