Lineup Lottery Results

[kimn]

Since the lottery tickets will only be distributed in Austin, we depend on our Austin members to keep us informed.

[nikkirkpatrick]

when does the lottery begin?

[concertgoer]

I think it starts today

[Jake888]

Facebook posts say Quiet Company, Steve Earle, Punch Brothers, Delta SPirit....but no photo proof.

[nizzle]

Lame all around.

[kimn]

Not a bad start.

[Jake888]

LP also.

[kimn]

LP?

[Jake888]

LP = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By1EbHetjAs

Someone is also claiming Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Driftwood]

Womp womp.

[carligula]

They're not really going to share 4 of the top 5 with Lolla are they? Jack White, Black Keys, and Florence have already been rumored.

[concertgoer]

Maybe Florence doesn't headline?

[Jake888]

I think Florence & Machine could very well play the 6:00 spot on the other side of the park than the 8:00 unopposed headliner. Wilco/Flaming Lips have played that spot in the past.

[carligula]

Yeah, 3 of the top 4 (with Jack Johnson rather than Black Sabbath) would be much better than 4 of the top 5 ; )

[Byrone]

barf.

[concertgoer]

Byrone do you attend ACL every year or is it lineup dependent?

[Jake888]

This is a solid first day of releases for Americana acts.

1/4

not a good start...

[MadBird11]

If the ACL lineup is the same as the Lolla lineup, does that make Lolla better?

[nizzle]

According to this board, Lolla will always be "better".

Lolla doesn't have to cater to the Americana crowd/old people.

[MadBird11]

2/3 of the last 3 years go to ACL imo

[concertgoer]

Lolla doesn't have to cater to the Americana crowd/old people.

Not sure about that. I remember most boarders saying that ACL was better last year.

[Jake888]

Childish Gambino and RHCP added.

[fiveiron83321]

Childish Gambino and RHCP added.

?

from the scratch off?

[MookieDaddy]

lulz at this list (minus Steve Earle).

[concertgoer]

It's going to really sad if the top three at ACL are RHCP, TBK, Jack Johnson.

[buddahhateschange]

I need a new pair of Flip Flops

[MadBird11]

Guess ACL isn't C3's baby anymore.

[Jake888]

I find (hope) this hard to believe. I think Springsteen or Neil Young & Crazy Horse will be our Sunday headliner.

[MadBird11]

RHSP are old now.

Just sayin.

[concertgoer]

I find (hope) this hard to believe. I think Springsteen or Neil Young & Crazy Horse will be our Sunday headliner.

You would hope that C3 has something up their sleeves like that.Our headliners are pretty meh, but at least we got Sabbath.

[MadBird11]

Well, actually...

[concertgoer]

RHSP are old now.

Just sayin.

You know Madbird just a few weeks ago I was wondering if they would qualify as a legacy act at this point. I mean they are in the rock and roll hall of fame now.

[MadBird11]

They became a legacy act as soon as John left the second time. There's an argument that it happened before that.

[nikkirkpatrick]

a legacy act that entirely ignores their legacy?

Genius.

[MadBird11]

Genius.

Sort of like Radiohead, amirite?

:D

[concertgoer]

I lol'd

[nikkirkpatrick]

although in reality i think that the quality of current material decides when an artist falls in to legacy status. thusly, I would argue radiohead is not a legacy act.

[Jake888]

I don't believe RHCP or Radiohead qualify as legacy acts yet. Most recent member of Legacy Club? Maybe Prince?

Hasn't put anything out in years, but most audiences would kill to see him.

[borracho]

how do you feel about sabbath without bill ward?

[concertgoer]

how do you feel about sabbath without bill ward?

I am fine with that.

[carligula]

As long as it's Ozzy singing Sabbath songs, I'll be fine.

[borracho]

As long as it's Ozzy singing Sabbath songs, I'll be fine.

i'm just ticked at the whole big reunion announcement they had last year with everyone on board, and now bill ward's out because of who knows what or why. 2 sides to every story, i guess. but it's crazy the one with cancer is still playing. at least ozzy didn't back out and they replace him with ray gillen or tony martin.

[arbee]

I love the Black Sabbath with Tony Martin. Headless Cross & Tyr are great albums.

[sleeping]

Tyr not so much, but Headless Cross might actually be my favorite post-Ozzy Sabbath album.

[Jake888]

I give today's releases a solid B.

[Audiobully]

As long as it's Ozzy singing Sabbath songs, I'll be fine.

.

[kimn]

Wonder what today will bring.

[concertgoer]

CoS is reporting that the RHCP card from yesterday was a fake.

[concertgoer]

Pictures on facebook of Freelance Whales and Alabama Shakes.

[kimn]

No shocker on Alabama Shakes.

[Jake888]

Nothing too earth shattering, but all solid mid-day adds. I like it so far.

[MadBird11]

Is Jake888 the ferro_man of the ACL board?

[Jake888]

What does this mean? Overly optimistic?

I don't think any of these names are overly exciting, but are good solid acts that I would be happy watching if no one else strikes up my interest.

[kimn]

Glad to see positivity.

[concertgoer]

Bon Iver confirmed via the lineup cards.

[Byrone]

i don't remember which bands were released this way last year, but i think i do remember hating all of them, too. BUT there were still a bunch of great bands that i wanted to see, so i guess i'm kinda hoping the same thing happens this year.

[ferro_man]

it means you have terrible taste in music

[Jake888]

My fault. I forgot we were only allowed to like bands that don't exist yet that no one has heard of.

[ferro_man]

My fault. I forgot we were only allowed to like bands that don't exist yet that no one has heard of.

don't sweat it.
I take my victory for most questionable music taste as a badge of honor and pride

[WretchedSkye2113]

i will beat you, ferro. next year.


buying tix for every creed and nickelback show as we speak.

[IAmScareMongering]

Bon Iver confirmed via the lineup cards.

Can we trade avicii for Bon Iver?

[concertgoer]

No

[IAmScareMongering]

What if ACL throws in a 80s reunion band to be named later?

[concertgoer]

Change that to The Cranberries and we might have a deal.

[nizzle]

Better announcements today than yesterday, but still boring.

[ferro_man]

I think you still have a long way to go... I've seen 30 seconds to mars ten times

[kimn]

Last year was the same, no real shockers on the scratch off cards. I think the biggest name to come off them was MMJ. Bon Iver will be a late afternoon saturday show, no real shocker that he will be there. They might throw us a bone today. Is the formal line up out late monday night?

[kimn]

But I'm sure you dress impeccably.

My guess on the adds today:

Gary Clark Jr.
The Black Keys
Edward Sharpe
Grace Potter.

Andrew Bird, Esperanza Spaulding, The Black Keys and A-Trak.

[snoopydoggy2002]

oh shit!? the black keys!?! biggest get for this festival since bjork

[kimn]

Zola Jesus

[concertgoer]

Zola Jesus

Well at least they leaked one good act today

[ferro_man]

But I'm sure you dress impeccably.

nope, total fashion victim :)

[concertgoer]

Jack White is playing
http://yfrog.com/mgah4qcj

[johnd12751]

I could see ACL getting three headliners from Lolla then three of their own.

Bruce Springsteen * The Black Keys * Jack White
Beck * Bon Iver * Justice or Avicii

[nizzle]

Isn't Florence more likely than a Justice or AVICII?

I think A-Trak is probably the big electronic get of the year, even though he's not that big compared to the others.

[MadBird11]

But he is better, so there's that.

[rockrdudetim]

If this festival has one thing over Lolla, it's the lack of EDM headliners.

[ferro_man]

so far... lack of EDM headliners so far

[kimn]

ACL is more to leaning towards real musicians.

[kimn]

That me Niz. Don't get me started on Skrillex.

[Audiobully]

According to Spin Magazine, Skrillex is one of the greatest guitarists of all time even though they freely admit they have no idea if he can even play guitar. Then again, Jam Master Jay is on the list as well.

For the record...worst list EVER.

[kimn]

he plays one on his lap-top

[kimn]

Black Lips first add of the day.

[kimn]

Bombay Bicycle Club and Gary Clark Jr.

[kimn]

Two Door Cinema

[nizzle]

Good god.

[kimn]

What song do they do Niz?

[Byrone]

3/4. Best leaks so far.

we discussed this list quite a bit in the fan forum when it was published.
i (as well as quite a few others) found it to be pretty interesting.
i get that it is easy to be all "skrillex what the fuck this list sucks", but they made good cases for him and the other non guitarists on the list.

[carligula]

So, Nizzle just posted this on Facebook. Is it legit?

Haven't read entire list, but wish they would have put "influential" as opposed to "greatest" if they were going to include people who don't actually play guitar.

[Audiobully]

Exactly. Rolling Stone's list was really well done. Spin's was just stupid.
