yaaaaaaawn except for J5 and queens of the stone age. but like i'm really going to spend a crapload of money on all the other bands just to see two in a huge venue when you're never close enough to the stage anyway? no thanks
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.
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!!!<P> you people are jaded worse than my record store coworkers!!!<P> but either way i am going to Coachella this year finally.<BR>

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.
I thought Lollapukeloosa was about musical diversity…all I see here is hard rock and a token negro band thrown in…
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)

$120 for two days? What a ripoff.

It is very possible many of those in attendance are now turned off to Coldplay because of that show.

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.<P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fuelie:<BR><B> 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?
