Post by: redsock on February 09, 2003, 07:21:00 pm: Rumor has it Interpol may also be playing. I think we should see the full line-up before making any rash judgements, but I tend to agree, the line-up is, dare I say, too mainstream. Something we wouldn't have said in 1991.

Post by: myuman on February 09, 2003, 09:33:00 pm: Interpol? OMG would that be a career ending mistake. That would rank right up there with something like.... sandwiched between sum 41 and kelly osbourne at HFS. Hopefully they steer clear. Stay with clubs until radiohead needs an opener.

Incubus used to be great, until Make Yourself came out, and then they sucked, even though it sounded just like, SCIENCE. See, the Flaming Lips can have pink bunnies onstage and that is cool, but please, no power chord music cause that is bad. an god forbid, dont sell a million albums!!! you people are jaded worse than my record store coworkers!!! but either way i am going to Coachella this year finally.

I guess you didn't see Pavement play Lollapalooza around here. They had mud and sod flung at them so much, they just walked off stage. I could very well see a similar thing happen with Interpol. So with a crowd whose majority doesn't like you you will not be giving your all and will put on a bad show thereby not swaying the 5% who might actually like you. You get bitter and break up. Maybe on the second stage they could be great, like Lambchop was.

Post by: Guiny on February 10, 2003, 09:59:00 am: Was it a career ending mistake when Coldplay played at HFSestival? They were by far the worst band there, yet everyone in this forum seems to bow down to them. (Ok mostly all of you)

Title: Re: Lollapalooza 2003 lineup annouced
Post by: Henry Dark on February 10, 2003, 11:39:00 am: I think there's a difference here. A band can still maintain their integrity, perhaps making them less popular, and make a decent living. Being very popular means being rich, and I don't think that's every bands or every persons goal in life. I don't see eye to eye with those that make that their primary goal. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Fuelie: I hope you were being sarcastic or something because, if not, that was a completely retarded thing to say. being popular=making money and dont you think that what musicians want?

Title: Re: Lollapalooza 2003 lineup annouced
Post by: Henry Dark on February 10, 2003, 01:10:00 pm: Actually, Bumbershoot had quite a bit more than 55 bands (500 perfomers by their count). You can view the entire 4 day list here: <A HREF="http://www.bumbershoot.org/allartists.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.bumbershoot.org/allartists.html[/url] And Austin had 69 act in two days.

Post by: sonickteam2 on February 10, 2003, 01:28:00 pm: Well, i dont know too many of the Bumbershoot artist (maybe 1/2, 5 of which i would actually care to see) and the Austin City thing looks to be a completely different kind of show altogether, i dont think there is even a comparison. Thanks for the info tho, very interesting
Title: Re: Lollapalooza 2003 lineup annouced
Post by: Henry Dark on February 10, 2003, 01:34:00 pm: Can't be denied that Coachella has an impressively long list of popular mainstream acts.The fact that they have so many popular acts no doubt contributes to the hefty ticket price. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by sonickteam2: Well, i dont know too many of the Bumbershoot artist (maybe 1/2, 5 of which i would actually care to see) and the Austin City thing looks to be a completely different kind of show altogether, i dont think there is even a comparison.

Post by: sonickteam2 on February 10, 2003, 01:36:00 pm: at least it doesnt have anything called a "Jam Stage" YIKES!
Title: Re: Lollapalooza 2003 lineup annouced
Post by: Henry Dark on February 10, 2003, 01:58:00 pm: If you are referring to the jam stage at the Austin City Limits Fest, I'll take those artists over the loud, aggressive hard rock bands on the Lolaploosa list. I'm not that familiar with the ones on the Austin jam stage list, but Luna was on the jam stage, and they'ere a pretty damn good little band. Also, the list of alt-country performers on the Austin list was quite impressive. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by sonickteam2: at least it doesnt have anything called a "Jam Stage" YIKES!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Title: Re: Lollapalooza 2003 lineup annouced
Post by: sonickteam2 on February 10, 2003, 02:10:00 pm: Excellent point. Rock and HipHop acts, and DJs (especially DJs) get paid MUCH more than jazz, altcountry and bluegrass musicians. Making the cost of the concerts way way high.take the Beastie Boys and Oasis out of Coachella and the price would probably drop $20 right there!!! Therefore we have 2 completely different concerts at 2 completely different prices!!maybe the Radiohead/Coachella rumor will turn true and i'll have a reason to pay $120!!! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Henry Dark: If you are referring to the jam stage at the Austin City Limits Fest, I'll take those artists over the loud, aggressive hard rock bands on the Lolaploosa list.
