Since this festival has fallen below most on the board, I'll give a brief rundown. Way overcrowded. Hot as hades again. Can't take water in. Charge 3 bucks a pop, and keep the cap so either you pick a cap off the ground and stick two bottles in your pocket, or you must stand at the stand constantly buying water to avoid dehydration. Coachella is 1000 times the concert and worth the trip in a heartbeat. However hfs has learned some. Set time were posted BEFORE you arrive, and they stuck as close to it as I ever remember. Modest Mouse was of course the band to see, but their set left me longing for more. No Bukowski left me a little sour, but they still put on a great show. Yeah Yeah Yeahs were pleasantly.... enjoyable. Screaming with angst, with a microphone literally in your mouth while smiling 90% of the time is something to see. Then I had to suffer through sorry excuses for rock for several hours only to be broken up by Jay-Z "crapping" up there spouting "F" words and professing the pimp life... you know, doesn't exactly speak to me.... but most goers seemed to be having a good time. The Cure was great... at least I thought... very strong beginning, then it waned a little. I left before the encore, but I thought the highlight was Fascination Street. Didn't pay face value, saw the bands I cared to see, and shot the bull most of the day with my Bro... so it wasn't too bad. I'd have to see a strong lineup next year that didn't start until later in the day (YYY's went on at 3:30) to do it again next year.
-
I didn't go because (1) no one I know wanted to go, and (2) the bands I wanted to see I knew would be *hours* apart.
Good to hear how Coachella blows it away -- I gotta get my ass out there next year. In my mind it was like two days of HFStival. Yuck.
Thanks for the report...though I didn't go, I'm still curious.
-
WEnt only for the Cure...was tortured by JayZ and the rest. Offspring didnt suck at least.
At least i didnt get there until 6 so i did not have to suffer the hell heat and got to keep my pale and pastyness.
I thought the Cure set was great! Got to hear some of the new songs...not too shabby. Edge of the deep green sea was my favorite.
i am still wondering what the HFS people were talking about the Cure coming to 9:30 this summer.
Anyone have the scoop??
-
Myuman, you went to the HFStival!? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Well, I guess one of us had to do the dirty work in order to give us the lowdown. Thanks for your report.
Next time, take a few bottle caps along with you. ;) Just don't screw them on until you get away from the stand or they will catch on and start searching you for taking freaking bottle caps in. :roll:
-
I thought Cyrpess Hill and The Offspring were the best of the main stage. I saw the first five songs for The Cure and they were good. I decided to beat the crowd to the Metro and leave early. The Yeah Yeah Yeah's were the best on the street stage and Scott Henry was the one worth seeing in the buzz tent. For those who didnt go and are gonna slam the people that did, we didn't miss you one bit.
-
This was my first 1st HFstival. Despite the brutal heat, the mosh pits, crowdsurfers and tight space, I had a good time. I liked Cypress Hill, The Offspring, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, OAR, POD, Jay-Z and The Cure. I did take some good pictures along the way.
-
Jay-Z and The Cure were both great, Modest Mouse was pretty good, overall a worthwhile day.
-
the cure did a full set length soundcheck friday night to an empty stadium. well, mostly empty. that was one of my highlights of the festival. didn't see much else of the show.
as for the cure this summer, i'd count on merriweather or nissan if they play this area, not the club.
-
I saw them at Merriweather a few years back, wouldn't be worth a second trip. It woulda been perfect if they would come to the 9:30 Club.
-
Most of you probably know already, but it is Merriweather. August 6th.
-
i was going to go and then, i thought, what am i doing? so i stayed home and got drunk. woo haa.
-
I skipped it too-- though I did get a great view of Velvet Revolver frolicking in a DC park on Sat afternoon.
As a substitute, I played "Trucker's Atlas" and "Cowboy Dan" on my mp3 player on repeat. (IMHO, the best MM songs ever.)
Anyone have the MM setlist? I'm just curious.

You dog! That must have been something.

Were they trying to score drugs?

Really, couldn't tell you. Here's the experience...
saw two long-haired dirty people in the park (assumed homeless women)laying about, chasing eachother, etc. but then saw their silver tour bus with trailer in tow pull up and saw them get in. noticed they didn't have breasts. Later walked by 9:30 and saw same vehicle parked there.

i knew the cure were in trouble by the way the crowd reacted to jay-z (who was clearly agast at the 60,000 white faces before him)... 60,000 white people singing about "niggaz, pimps & 'hos" was pretty pathetic...
and then the same ree-tards enthusiastically sang along w/ offspring's "pretty fly for a white guy" without realizing that song was about them!!!
A-H-H-H! HA-A-A HA-A-A-A!!! HA-A-A!!!!!!
(holy tap-dancing jesus - that was funny)
i was glad most people left after offspring cause it gave the rest of us better access to the cure...

So I guess white people aren't allowed to enjoy black entertainment. As for "pretty fly for a white guy" I doubt the song was written about anyone in the crowd. I didnt see any white person with their hats on backwards, baggy pants or a "31" tatooed on any part of their body.

I understand the irony filthypit...not that anyone listens to lyrics anymore, but the lyrics are "a black thing, you wouldn't understand" type of thing, so to see all these little white but turning crimson in the sun faces...this Jay Z character must've thought..."what the fuck?"
No harm though I suppose, as long as they enjoyed themselves.

BTW....that, I find very hard to believe.

Maybe in the buzz tent but not watching the main stage.

With an "explicit lyrics" sticker, probably not too many hfs'ers would be able to buy it.

parental advisory sticker means nothing. kids can still buy it. if parents wont allow it they kid just wont tell them, its called a cd player and lieing

Thank you Flawd for putting that in to perspective. It kills me how many professional guardians of the children, let's say, buy into all of that crap. :roll: On a professional level, the mindset is that children don't lie. :roll: :roll: :roll: (Sorry Flawd, hate calling you a child but I know you understand where I'm coming from.)

well, since you asked... (afrophiles please note: there is no "x" in the word 'ask')
i really enjoyed cypress hill, yeah, yeah, yeahs (for the five minutes they played), violent femmes, jay-z (but i didn't sing along), the offspring was FANTASTIC! (stole the festival as far as i'm concerned), and of course the cure. i felt sorry for the cure since most people left after offpring - it must have been embarrassing for them...
and thank you for asking!
get your eyes checked dear - that's all i saw were afrophiles w/ their hats on sideways & baggy pants... gangsta whitey's, yo-o i'm down wit dat!

The white kids trying to be all ghetto is just sad...but what is hilarious is when I see asian kids doing it. For some reason it just cracks me up.

Was it Craig Honeycutt and his entourage? I haven't seen him in years (way too lazy to look him up), but he had long hair back in the day [as did some of the guys in Everything].

Do you think i ever cared who i sold those CDs too? fuck if i care. i mean, i was more inclined not to let people buy crappy music than to care about advisory stickers. :)
-
i understand but know one i know of except a few parents(mothers) care. it probably was more inportant in the 90s. now that rap is "mainstream" the stickers can more or less go stick them selves....
