T in the Park

[jiffy]

Hey - kindof newbie here. Been 'guesting' for a while - much enjoyed the banter of dirtybird, sel, prickly, sarah and all - you make me laugh! Even nosugarmama (although you scare me a little - v.mysterious!).

So, T in the Park was . I was at the front!!! Close enough to get a good view of Caleb's crack everytime he turned around to face Nathan - who absolutely rocks by the way - what a fabulous drummer! Especially on the new stuff - Milk 's just too cool. It was the first time I'd seen them live, and it was great to see Caleb work his way out of his shyness/wasted-ness to chat to us for abit. Why does he do that? I mean, get so high or nervous or whatever? The world loves him, it's not really as if he has to win over the crowd. It's a shame - I hope he doesn't go the way of Julian C. and end up being such a wasted fuck that he can't sing his own songs straight (Strokes were not so cool ). But he was really cute, especially when he tried to placate the lairy drunken scots and also when he thanked us for "acting" like we enjoyed the new stuff (we REALLY did!).

Jared and MAtt did the business - they're both far too cute when they smile, and it was funny how Jared couldn't quit playing between songs. At one point he started playing around with a riff and the crowd got whooping and he looked really pleased! But he was really mugging it for the cameras.

So, sorry about all the rambling waffle, but basically Nathan is shit-hot in too many ways, and it's great when he throws his head back and his eyes roll around....Caleb needs to remember he's a sexy mutherfucker who rules and stop getting nervous because we all love him, and his crack didn't look as hairy as I expected...and Nacho has the lovliest, shiniest hair ever. And a nice bum.

haha! on the tv footage he was pulling his pants up all the time bless him. welcome to the forum btw, i hope we didnt scare you too much x

[jiffy]

Thanks Sarah! You're all far too lovely to be scary (except when people piss on KoL) - I'm just slow to warm up and get going

I guess ol' snake-hips needs a tighter belt! Or a real meal - one of the two. Seeing the occasional flash of Calebcrack was far sexier than having Jake ScissorSister's cock and balls waved in our faces (altho that was quite amusing). Just goes to show subtlety can do far more for you than slutness. My man was intrigued with Caleb's poker-straight centre-parting. He cruelly said it looked like a wig (I think he's just jealous).

I forget to mention the songs (I was blown away just being able to see them infront of me - I tried to watch them last winter but they sold out too quickly for my slowpoke ways).
They did Wicker Chair!! What a beautiful song. And other 'old' songs were Holy Roller.. and California Waiting and Genius and Molly's Chambers and they finished with Trani - they really got into this one and thrashed it senseless at the end. Caleb did the pushing-the-mic-over move. New songs I can't remember the names of, but there were about 5. Milk was my fav.

Hullo
I only watched it on telly but at least I taped it ... Watching Caleb over and over is fast becoming this sad girls main hobby. I never knew he was high during his shows, I always thought it was tiredness. And the shyness? Well I never knew about that either but it is kinda cute, It's so much better than the arrogant bullshit often displayed by other artists. In all my life I have NEVER seen a more god-like creature such as Caleb Followill. Sexy just ain't the word.

Aaaw hey jiffy *waves* I want to see them go mad at trani damn it!! I hope I get some crack action at V. That makes me want to sing Stacked dead actors stacked to the rafters don't know the rest of the words dooo dooo.

Watcing Caleb can def. become obsessional, eh?!
I'm not certain of the wastedness - he just didn't seem as sharp as he has in some interviews. You're right, Steppy-go-Lightly, it's MUCH better to be humble than an arrogant tool. I just got the feeling (also from watching Glastonmaberry on TV) that he's a bit uncomfortable. I think there's a nice big space between arrogant cock and confident bloke. I'd love him to watch him walk out and claim the stage, you know, take it, seize it and full-on conquer it, give the stage a good seeing to - show that stage who's boss.
The stage would be very very happy.

Oh - hello PP *waving back, with goofy grin*

Ooooo Caleb was great but nothing compared to Nathan "Loreal because he's worth it" Followill.

Still shocked about the niceness of his hair.

He was tuning in his bass, then the crowd were sort of having a little of fun with him when he was tuning in his bass. Jareds bass playing sounded quite bad

Yeh, I guess you're right. I s'pose I'm a tad over-excited, what with never seeing them play before. Surely I'm allowed a little bit of crazyfanworship before my joy gets killed by lots of reality and reasonableness...
Oh, nice pics, Efrat. Think they'll put my shitey disposable camera ones to shame. I find out soon...

[blackdress]

He was gurning to the camera a lot. The bass face was the Sunday night impression for us. We all walked back to the tents doing a Jared face. Amused us greatly.

The thoughtless person who took the photoes did not think to get a photo of Nathan and his lovely brilliant brunette hair.

[ginger92]

I feel kinda cheated because I have yet to see the shiny T in the park hair of Nathan...*grumbles*
The pics are lovely though. Really digging the 1st and 3rd ones.

hay jiffy! welcome to the board and thanks for what you said. hope you like this place and always try to keep a hold of your crazyfanworship for as long as possible.

"Really digging the 1st and 3rd ones" is that coincidental?

"I think there's a nice big space between arrogant cock and confident bloke. I'd love him to watch him walk out and claim the stage, you know, take it, seize it and full-on conquer it, give the stage a good seeing to - show that stage who's boss.

haha it would be and so would the audience who were watching!

"but basically Nathan is shit-hot in too many ways"

k*x

[dirty bird]

haha he's a rabbi now? no longer jesus then!

[jiffy]

DirtyB - catch! *big kiss*

Photo's back. Yep, KoL are blurry raisins on a big scone stage. Great views of the back of official photographers heads, though.

I thought Nathan looked religiously gorgeous, myself. Nice to know he has multi-faith appeal. Bet when he dances he looks like a sweaty dervish...

[blackdress]

Bless him andhis rabbi/Jesus/Mohammed/Buddha looks.

He is a choose your own religious figure kinda guy. What a little star.
