I think 50 Cent is just an unavoidable glimpse of things to come.. For some reason, nearly everyone at least "sort of likes" hip hop, so it stands to reason if you stick a rapper on stage people will like him..
Seasoned metalheads like myself will have piss bottles at the ready but its the way the festival is going, 2001 I thought was going to bring the return of metal to the festival, It had easily the most "metal" or "numetal" lineup I have seen since Metallica last played, the music industry seemed to be revolving around new metal bands and things all of a sudden bands like Arch Enemy and In Flames were coming to the forefront and things looked good, then hip hop took over, then people started "spoofing" metal ie. Darkness and Busted, now its light hearted family entertainment rather than metal.. bring back Bruce Dickinson, sort all you fucking rap freaks out..
Besides who wants to watch a man dressed in the cleanest, brightest most expensive tracksuit in the world shout over a backing track about money and cars? Your at a festival for Christ's sake, your wearing a Nirvana t-shirt, covered in filth and stoned off your balls, it's not exactly the most suitable set for such ocassions.. |
