I don't get the point of going to a 50cent gig and throwing shit at him. They did it at the rasmus as well. Seriously, are these people fucking children? I don't like 50cent, I find his music boring to the extreme and as such would keep away from the stage when he was supposed to be on. Same with the rasmus.
Also, beside from, mostly, agreeing with you that 50 cent is indeed a cock I actually respect him a whole lot more now considering he didn't have a strop. He, as far as I've been told, just tried to placate the crowd and when they wouldn't stop got off stage. Nothing more anyone could have done imho.

Not sure how many stages etc there are at Reading but as far as I know most of the people watching were just waiting for Green Day and Placebo, probably trying to get a nice place near the front. Not the sort of people you would associate with liking 50 Cent or Rasmus.
Was a mistake putting them on at Reading which is traditionally a 'Rawwwk!' festival.

imo the "Rawwwk!" crowd should get their heads out of their arses. if you don't like someone, fine, go have a hotdog and a beer. or perhaps stand in line for an hour to have a shit. there's no reason to be nasty and chuck things or boo. it's not as if the "artist you're not really keen on" is there all day....at big festivals they're usually gone before you know it.

All i'm saying is its a bad idea to play hip-hop or pop to a load of damp/rabid/half drunk Green Day fans. Not the bands fault, just at the wrong place at the wrong time, bad organising.
Not that I condone it, just thought it was pretty funny.

maybe they're trying to open your mind? dunno, just a guess? in a perfect world, 50cent would team up with DKM and do some songs, but I suppose that's what the crossing borders festival is for. oh well.
It was because of the slot they were playing. 2nd to last and behind green day on the main stage is just suicidal planning imo. I bet 50 even asked for a good slot like that too.
Thing is there wasn't much of an alternative to them playing at the same time as them so people were kinda forced to watch them, especially with green day afterwards because it's a real pain in the arse to get a good view of the last band of reading on the main stage because there's just so many people to get past.
As far as i know dizzee rascal's set went fine and he was playing in the radio 1 tent while there were other good bands playing on the other stages. So it certainly is possible for 50 to play reading imo, but just dont force rock fans to put up with it.

Haha well deserved imo, They should know full well that the majority will not be open minded about musical tastes and will react in such a manner. You can sugar coat your views of the world and hope people will do good all you want, simple fact is most of the time they won't.
It happened when he did the set at Leeds too, I would have been there but couldn't afford it. And whilst wouldn't have taken part in said 'bottling' I certainly would have pissed myself laughing at the twat.
On a flipside if you put Metallica on at a rap festival I wouldn't be surprised if they got a few 'caps popped in their asses yo'. It's out of place when these things are generally known as rock festivals, especially when placed on main stage.
Line up at Leeds was fairly shit this year anyways.

"50" shouldn't have been there in the first place really, whoever booked him was a numpty. Festival audiences aren't exactly renowned for being receptive to diversity, and it's fair to say an event which is predominantly "rawwk", billed as "rawwk" and so forth is going to be frequented by angst-ridden, World-hatin' work shy greaser students who hate everything which isn't indie/rock.
That said, I did feel slightly sorry (about 2% sorry) for The Rasmus. Bit of a double-edged sword really the indie industry - get too popular and you're slated for selling out and "becoming mainstream", but stay on the fringe and you're never gonna make the billing at the festivals.

I don't rightly know. I assume that were Metallica to play at a rap festival they'd try to make something of it and quite probably be boo'd off stage.
it's just that I'm personally against the jeers and bottling that makes me react against it. I'm a bit of a rocker at heart and am not too particular to rap music in general, but I'd never boo a rapper who appeared at a rock fest. you had a flyer so you know the line-up. tough. I read in that article that he actually played before he was slotted and left far ahead of his scheduled end point, so the argument that people were juggling for a good spot doesn't hold for me if he started an hour and a half ahead of time.
if I was there I'd sit through and make the best of it tbh. it's a festival, you aren't obligated to watch every act. when I was at Dynamo earlier this year there were acts there from opposite ends of the genre, but I don't recall (to name a few) Nightwish getting boo'd, or Dimmu Borgir, or Soullfy etc. Imo the crowd there were extremely good sports and well chilled to boot. bottling is strictly for kiddies imo.

grow up... this thread is about a guy getting boo'd off stage at an event that is typically not for his type of music - not the merits of rap and god forbid by a black guy...

He's right though; 50 cent does just go one about bitches hoe’s money and pimping. The guy is a fucking tool, and I like hip hop. I just don't like that sort of hip hop, it's utter utter tripe.
Also, I'd completely agree with Teeds – in fact I think I do - bottling and jeering is shit and lame, but whereas I'd normally get all riled up by it, this time I just don't care. Actually I’m quite amused.
As for the whole racist thing, honestly I think the type of hip hop that 50 cent and his homies put out there does more harm for society’s view of black people than good. Rather than suggesting that black people can have successful careers in the media, it suggests that they're pimps and gangsters and criminals. This is (in my opinion) the most predominant image portrayed about black people in the media today. There's better, more intelligent, less shit hip hop out there people, you've just gotta look a bit harder.

Have you seen the music video to P.I.M.P , nath? The video just seems like one big pisstake. If you haven't, it has Snoop Doog et al all dressed up as pimps, with 50 Cent going "Plus, i got the magic stick". It's hilarious tbh.
I'm not sure if 50 Cent truly lives up to, and believes in what he goes on about most of the time.

i dunno whats wrong with the kids of today tbh,
in my day and age we used to fill the bottles with wee wee before throwing them at the stage
maybe "fiddy" as i understand he likes to be called is just very crap live hence the bottle throwing in the first place

Haha the Rasmus are a whole comedy goldmine...they dress like full hardcore death metal type loonies then ponce on stage and go 'Oh-ohh oh-ohh...' etc.
Like watching a huge fuck off saber tooth tiger walk on stage and mutter a teeniest meow hardly worthy of a kitten. Same as Good Charlotte.
Whilst this may be true for some please don't make me assume your a cock tarring a whole group with the same brush.

As people have said, booking 50 Cent to play the main stage at Reading/Leeds sandwiched between a load of rock bands is just fucking daft. I don't agree with bottling him and stuff, but Reading/Leeds is notorious for that - remember Daphne & Celeste? Someone elses idea of a joke - and it's not a surprise.

Dislike both Rasmus and 50cent but I think it is pretty fucking lame to resort to throwing stuff on stage and booing the artists off. If you don't like them then fuck off and do something else! It is a bloody festival for god's sake! If you can't find something better to do liiiike, oh I dunno, get pished, stoned, food or laid etc etc. then you're a fucking waste of space!
Actually, I take that back...I seem to recall doing the same thing (booing) to Sonic Youth when we were waiting for Bob Dylan to come on at Glastonbury! In my defence, I was drunk and somewhat disorientated due to 'shrooms and weed!

In my defence, I was drunk and somewhat disorientated due to 'shrooms and weed!It's the pros & cons of festivals innit? You're never going to get everyone to like every band, and, yes, it's funny/sad when they get pelted with shit...
P.S. This is why they issue booze in the plastic cups/bottles, if they were glass they'd be far fewer missiles...
But, ahh, the Reading festival. I went there in 1989 to see:
The Butthole Surfers
Gay Bikers on Acid
The Sugar Cubes
The Pogues
& some others, that my memory refuses to reveal....
Just found this...
The Gay Bikers played on a sunny afternoon and looked totally lost on the huge stage, but The Butthole Surfers ruled the roost. Even the 10,000 strong crowd pogo-ing around to the Pogues didn't overshadow the Butties set....go Gibby! I seem to remember that there were more police than punters at one point (probably a wrong turn, or tunnel vision from too many toxins). I also remember my mates tent got "turned over" and some bam nicked most of his clothes and a stash of cakes he had been secretly storing for that very night....if anyone has any information about this, or any other crime, please send it on a postcard to.... :kissit:
