Also going by newspaper reports, Cormac Battle of Kerbdog said something like "these guys are triple time to sit on their arses all day. Let's give them something to work at". Cue big mosh and security freaking out

The security guys at Kerbdog were laughing away at what Cormac was saying and having a grand time when people started to mosh. They certainly didnt freak out.

Id call myself festival fit after camping at multiple music festivals but Im never camping in Oxegen again. Campsite was the worst mess Ive ever seen. The camper mentality appeared to be to outdo each other in being as inconsiderate to everyone around as possible. Apparently courtesy and being civilised goes out the window once you are in a field and ****ting and pissing anywhere you feel like is ok. Its a shame because in the Arena people were extremely friendly.

You mean "Tara Blay-uz" as self-advertised on Lyric FM. Nice soft-focus photos on the website :rolleyes:

Kingsize · 13-07-2005 12:54pm

or should that be tara ldarion ??

when was she playing? i wouldve gone & given her a severe telling off about the wonky lampshade in one of her promo pics.
Did she used to be in some band that were all over the radio back in 98 ?

Band Highlights were

Kerbdog - Great crowd with many friends and brilliant atmosphere. They also interacted well with the crowd

Jimmy Eat World - Lots of crowd singing and very good set with well known songs that would make anyone move.

Audioslave had a very good set also, especially the acoustic Black Hole Sun. Pretty classy!

Best set had to be New Order's though. Sumner is quite the funny man and its great to see 40 year olds belting out great tracks. Muchos dancing and muchos singing. Very good sounding also. What better crowd interaction than getting them to vote for their next song!?
Hopefully they will now come here alone rather than supporting some group whose fans won't care about seeing them, e.g RHCP fans at Landsdown Rd.

I was at that gig in landsdown rd, right up the front of the pit. It really was a poor choice to have new order there, i thought (in my opinion) they totally sucked ass but i'm not into them anyway but neither were the other 30-40,000 people there.
I actually felt sorry for them at one stage

I like the way they've been photoshopped into 'polaroid' frames and blue 'handwriting' added, for that 'here's a couple of snaps of me taken by a friend' as opposed to 'here's €3000 worth of professional photography to try and sell my 6th form poetry on my looks'.

ClareBear · 13-07-2005 3:36pm

The best for me were The Prodigy (as always), James Brown, Kaiser Chiefs (not a fan but they were class), Mylo (though this is the fourth time he's done that same set in the past 6 months), James Brown, Killers...

Spent most of my time in the dance tent. The Spirit DJ's were brilliant.

Great weekend but think it'll be my last Oxegen outing, it was full of 15 year olds! Roll on Electric Picnic...maybe I won't feel so old there.

i tend to go for the amazing voice rather than the mazing looks but whatever sells i guess

Kingsize · 14-07-2005 8:32am

"yes i am infact a woman and my friend "

I wasnt sure if you were just being coy or not

i wouldve checked her out at oxegen if i'dve known...

magpie · 14-07-2005 11:30am

Apparently she had trouble pouting and singing at the same time.

Evzer · 14-07-2005 8:55pm

I thought audioslave doing killing in the name of was fuppin' amazing, definitely my highlight.

I didnt get to go to oxygen and it in my eyes was the best lineup ever to hit ireland.

With regards to QOTSA's defence, mark lanegan is in a very bad state atm, the chaps ment to be hangin on his last thread healthwise - which is a major bad buzz for queens. I suppose if you dont listen to queens your not gonna like it like someone who does - apparently, the people who ive talked to about the gig who like queens said it was absolutly unreal, and that they dedicated Burn the witch(my fav song) to mark.

'Jessy the Devil' (the chap who kept saying stuff for the girls) from eagles of deathmetal was spotted stumblin around the festival about 10 times by some mates of mine. Eagles of deathmetal started off with josh homme (qotsa) as the drummer, which is prolly where 1/2 the crowed came from. IMO Eagles of deathmetal are amazing, i love em and i cant wait for 'death by sexy'.

Death from above 1979 another GREAT band, which apparently the gig was empty - silly silly people, THATS a gig you wanna see!

I saw Tom Vek there 2/3 months ago in wheelans, defo would have gone to see him at oxygen alongside watching Brendan Benson.

Greenday did their usual set from what i was told - so nothing special missed coz imo their 'new' set with their new songs is nothing special to miss.

dceire · 14-07-2005 11:48pm

Audioslave and Foo Fighters were fcuking amazing, everything I expected and more.

'Killing In The Name Of' was by far the highlight!

Fcuk You, I wont do what you tell me!!!

Ah I thought it was him! I saw him walking (fast!) past Jungle River on the way to the New Band\Dance\Ticket Stage talking to some guy and did a double-take but figured it wasn't him, thanks for confirming it.

red_ice · 15-07-2005 12:13am

ohh it was him alright - if that was me, i would have gone n bought the chap a drink!

0utshined · 15-07-2005 12:27am

He was walking very fast though, in the opposite direction to me. There was no time to buy him a drink so it would have required surrendering mine which I wasn't going to do.

red_ice · 15-07-2005 12:31am

for jessie the devil and all his glory i would gladly surrender my pint! Your a disgrace!

0utshined · 15-07-2005 12:34am

*hangs head in shame*

but, but... I didn't know!

red_ice · 15-07-2005 12:37am

haha for your pennance sing 'so easy' 10 times and follow it up by whore hoppin'!

maybe you can be forgiven!

lemons · 15-07-2005 12:38am

i say that it was not bad line-up but greenday are ****

0utshined · 15-07-2005 12:43am

Consider it done!-

They played a great set though, it was very enjoyable.

i totally agree!

Yea 0utshined, eagles are great - we do a few of their tracks, great fun to play in all its simplicity!

Lets just pray when queens come back... THEY WILL COME BACK! Jessie will open for em!

Oxegen - how was it for you?
