    Have you heard any Elton material in the 21st Century?  "The Captain & The Kid" from 2006 as well as "The Union" with Leon Russell in 2010 and "The Diving Board" from 2013 are all great albums and have a lot of heartfelt moments and decent compositions

    I also quite liked "Blue & Lonesome" from The Stones in 2016, which granted is an album of blues covers but the performances are great and it is technically a release from them in some form


    Captain and The Kid and Wonderful Crazy Night are two great recent albums from Elton.

    It's not the band. The record label are the ones behind this... 

    It might be that the band have no interest and this is being done to meet contractual obligations.

    This has happened in the past with previous releases including the Greatest Hits and if you connect the dots, the release and lack of interest from the band would suggest Hard Skool was released under the same circumstances. 


    That’s a reach. It’s ok to say the management are garbage. There’s always an excuse when it comes to this band. Like how DJ Ashba blamed the crew for not putting the stage up fast enough to justify playing three hours late.

  3. I don't really get the 'wrong band to headline Glastonbury' narrative. I'm assuming its a UK artist exclusive slot?

    Anywho, I just checked it out and I was hella impressed. Axl seemed to kick it up a gear in many places, both in vocals and general movements. Its like he knew he was on the world stage and wanted to prove the naysayers wrong, and he certainly did. That "you know that you" at the end of You Could Be Mine was intense. Sure his vocals were occasionally patchy but he was on point for most of the night. 

    I saw some reviews saying that the crowd seemed dead at times. Thats just crowds in general nowadays. But that Glastonbury crowd really came alive.
