It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[symbionese]

Symb, what's your take on the album anyway?

better than strays, but nowhere even close to the first three. they should have stopped when they stopped way back in the day.

[Audiobully]

better than strays, but nowhere even close to the first three. they should have stopped when they stopped way back in the day.

Agree except for the part about them stopping. They should have kept going THEN and retired in the late 90s. Instead they took 1991-2003 off outside of Kettle Whistle.

[Krentistthedentist]

Can we discuss why this faggy fest doesn't book more metal?

[MadBird11]

Lou Reed and Metallica. Coming this summer to a bro-fest near you.

[Osama's Step-son]

hell yeah Mastodon, System, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax... any of those would be sick

[Krentistthedentist]

Red Hot Chili Peppers Kanye West Iron Maiden
System of a Down Wilco Fleet Foxes Slayer

Kanye West vs System of a Down
Iron Maiden vs Fleet Foxes
Red Hot Chili Peppers vs Wilco


Someone make this a thing

[MadBird11]

I'd be alright with that.

[Krentistthedentist]

If the big 4 can play a day at India Valley, then Maiden and Slayer can play Loller

[MadBird11]

I think Lolla wil get a metal act. It'll just be a shitty one + an extra fossil.

[Broc1123]

I'd be thrilled with that lineup. I'd definitely see Kanye, Wilco, and Fleet Foxes. But glad you guys would be happy with your metal.

[concertgoer]

If the big 4 can play a day at India Valley, then Maiden and Slayer can play Loller

Come on now
No Major American festival gives a fuck about metal

[MadBird11]

I'm sure one of them does. Maybe in Florida

[Krentistthedentist]

Well, Iron Maiden has an insanely devout following, so they'd bring in a lot of business that wouldn't necessarily come in otherwise, and there are plenty of cheap indie alternatives they can book to appease their usual dumbass demographic.

[MadBird11]

<- Dumbass demographic would be alright with Fleet Foxes

[brynrich]

I'm surprised at all of the people who think Wilco will be at Lolla...

[concertgoer]

Well, Iron Maiden has an insanely devout following, so they'd bring in a lot of business that wouldn't necessarily come in otherwise, and there are plenty of cheap indie alternatives they can book to appease their usual dumbass demographic.

Wishful thinking

[Broc1123]

Even though they are doing 5 shows in Chicago in December they are mostly in small venues. All 5 don't even equal a night at UIC probably, right? I think there's a decent chance they play.

[Five_Hole]

UIC - 9400

Civic Opera - 3500
Riv - 2300
Vic - 1400
Metro - 1100
LH - 507
Total = 8807

God no.

[90sRevival]

Agreed.

[Audiobully]

[Broc1123]

Yeah it'd have the potential with a solid undercard.

[Krentistthedentist]

if you put Beastie Boys in there somewhere, that'd be a pretty great Lolla if the undercard was good too.

[xbadx1233]

The Bravery should play....maybe

[Audiobully]

No they really shouldn't.

[nikkirkpatrick]

That'll work out great then won't it?

[MadBird11]

For the tasteless. And those with Goldens.

[xbadx1233]

Your definition of "tasteless" would be 95% of Lolla goers, so that's a win for C3 AND those fans :P

Not as much of a Muser as I used to be, like back in 2006 when I was in 9th grade. Muse just happens to be my profile picture because that was my favorite picture I took at Lolla.

I however do not judge people based on their musical tastes, so no tossing in ovens....today....

[90sRevival]

How dumb are you? Have you ever even listened to Iron Maiden? Pretty sure I can understand a whole lot of what they say, and the the lead singer actually has an awesome voice. Your perception of metal is severely misconstrued; it's awesome.

Not an entirely stupid statement. Yes you definitely make good points with some of the bands you selected. But if the majority of the world had to vote on a best band I'd say The Beatles would be voted number one.

The Clash is a better band than your favorite classic rock band.

Surely you don't count Stevie Ray Vaughan as classic rock?
If so, lol at trying to argue he's better than the clash.
If it's bowie, i'll concede.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i count SRV as blues rock, but i don't consider him a band- even with Double Trouble. and it depends on when you draw the line for "classic rock," since bands like Nirvana and PJ are now being played on classic rock stations.

regardless, ignoring the fact that i don't like the Clash in general, i don't even objectively see them as "the greatest band ever" or can see how one could argue that.

[Krentistthedentist]

It's not that hard, really. they were a landmark band that made "landmark albums" and continually evolved their sound, made killer songs, and have been hugely influential since then. Any rock band since 1977 who claims to have not been influenced by them is full of fucking shit.

I'd just like to put that broad criteria there to point out that you can make the case for a million bands and it's incredibly stupid when people are like "ONLY THE BEATLES CAN BE CALLED THE BEST BAND EVER"

[WretchedSkye2113]

You only named 3 bands that could be in contention. Velvet Underground nfw, Black Sabbath is definitely no, The Stooges well lol no, The Clash isn't as laughable but no. The Stones yeah you could make a case for them, same for Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. However, the Beatles accomplished more in what 10 years, than those 3 bands accomplished over their whole careers. It is however down to only opinions of the bands. However if you look at mass appeal and critic love basically, no other band matches up. Now I'm sure your gonna look at this, your gonna ponder on it for maybe 10 mins tops. Then your gonna have some kind of smart ass comment about my shit taste or that I'm fucking clueless. However, if you ask everybody on the planet who the best band in history is, I truly believe that you would hear The Beatles more than any other name. Now on the off chance you find nothing wrong with my reply to you, which I'm sure you will because your a smartass and pretty good at it on here, then you'll find some kind of grammatical error in all of this.

Holy fuck, I missed a lot today.

This is the best scenario I have seen so far though, nice job WretchedSkye!



EDIT: Actually I would also try to check out Mastodon too


You're doing it wrong.




You only named 3 bands that could be in contention. Velvet Underground nfw, Black Sabbath is definitely no, The Stooges well lol no, The Clash isn't as laughable but no. The Stones yeah you could make a case for them, same for Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. However, the Beatles accomplished more in what 10 years, than those 3 bands accomplished over their whole careers. It is however down to only opinions of the bands. However if you look at mass appeal and critic love basically, no other band matches up. Now I'm sure your gonna look at this, your gonna ponder on it for maybe 10 mins tops. Then your gonna have some kind of smart ass comment about my shit taste or that I'm fucking clueless. However, if you ask everybody on the planet who the best band in history is, I truly believe that you would hear The Beatles more than any other name. Now on the off chance you find nothing wrong with my reply to you, which I'm sure you will because your a smartass and pretty good at it on here, then you'll find some kind of grammatical error in all of this.

You too.

[oasisfan]

You too.

then how do you do it right?

[MadBird11]

Too many sentences.

[Fargo Gargo]

people don't usually take ten minutes to think over their posts fyi. maybe one minute for the more thoughtful ones.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Bon Iver is way too big for the grove C3 wouldn't book Sabbath
Would be a great festival though

WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LET ME BE HAPPY FOR ONCE.
(in regards to Sabbath. fuck a bonerivy)

[symbionese]

You can't write for shit.


It's an internet forum. What the fuck does it matter jfc.

that's what summer dunsmore once said long long ago...

Krentist's post is closer to the truth than your post. You don't have a good frame of reference to historically judge.
I speak as someone who has been buying LP's since 1974, and who has seen the Clash in their prime, and the Stones, Stooges, Beach Boys, and Sabbath at the end of their respective primes, as well as 60% of VU separately, 75% of Led Zep separately, and 50% of the Beatles separately.

[xbadx1233]

So which bands should we argue over next?

[hbankhead]

But your assuming your frame of reference represents the largest cross section of the population, which might not be the case if you frequent a forum such as this. I think Oasis is arguing that if you walked around with this list of bands, Joe six pack will pick the Beatles as the most well known or "best" band of the bunch.

Exactly. Of course the Beatles would win that competition, merely off of name value. But that doesn't prove they're the best, that just means everyone would just say the group they know. Half the people you asked probably have never ever heard a Clash song before. It'd just be a bunch of ignorant people saying, "uhh.. Beatles."

Not hating on the Beatles, just by the way. I just think the point you're making wouldn't help find out who the actual "best" band is.

[MadBird11]

Since you guys love writing paragraphs, one or all of you want to write a Classics paper for me?

[90sRevival]

My grammar is awful now.

[Krentistthedentist]

I think my point was just that I want to stab everyone in the jugular who says that the Beatles are the only band who could possibly be considered the best band ever. Y'all can shut up now, but thanks to everyone who agreed with me.

[Krentistthedentist]

that's what summer dunsmore once said long long ago...

These weren't the comments I expected you to reply to.

[90sRevival]

Krentist have you ever killed a man?

[MadBird11]

Closest Krent came was throwing me off the balcony at UIC.

So maybe.

[oasisfan]

So back to speculation about who could be there?

[WretchedSkye2113]

srsly.
Sabbath.
book it.

[oasisfan]

I wouldn't want to see them there. I would see them at a smaller venue, maybe a theatre type setting.

[nikkirkpatrick]

good luck with that.

[WretchedSkye2113]

both are incredibly impossible.
but mine is more like improbability-drive-impossible. yours is more like rick-perry-making-a-sensible-comment impossible.

[oasisfan]

I just don't think that at their age they could be that exciting to watch at an outdoor festival. Maybe a smaller arena.

[El Goodo]

Stay out of American politics, Euro-trash.

[oasisfan]

all this sabbath talk is making me downloading their discography. I realized I don't have any full albums of theirs.

[nanatod]

I just don't think that at their age they could be that exciting to watch at an outdoor festival. Maybe a smaller arena.

ozzy is 62 and tony is around 63. I think they can still bring it at their respective ages, and I'd like to see Sabbath again, anywhere, inside or outside.

Shit, in the last week I saw three performers over the age of 80, and they all brought it. And I'm still pissed that I missed seeing Eubie Blake when he was over
90. As the late Little Milton used to say, "age ain't nothing but a number."

[WretchedSkye2113]

Stay out of American politics, Euro-trash.

FINE. I WILL TAKE ALL MY MACCHIATOS AND BRING THEM BACK WITH ME TO THE STATES.
MWAHA.

[El Goodo]

GOOD LUCK WITH CUSTOMS.

And costumes. Because Halloween.

Ozzy's only coherent moments are on stage. See him now, or forever hold your piece.

[oasisfan]

Yeah you might be right.

[WretchedSkye2113]

they could just play "Hole in the Sky" and walk off stage and i'd be thrilled. regardless of the quality.

not that i'd have to worry about that with them. all video evidence shows that they still got it.

[oasisfan]

http://youtu.be/MwcLt2R5AlM

yeah maybe they still got it.

this is with dio though. however Ozzy can still do it.

[Krentistthedentist]

I saw the Dio incarnation of Sabbath and it was pretty great.

[arbee]

I saw the original incarnation of Sabbath and it was pretty great.

...except Van Halen blew them away, as they did every night on the Never Say Die Tour

[Nile19]

Radiohead, Metallica, No Doubt, Wilco, Black Keys, Justice

[Krentistthedentist]

Coldplay Coldplay Coldplay
Mumford Mumford Mumford

I've seen Sabbath with Ozzy a couple times.

They're definitely still worth seeing.

[littlelionman]

Radiohead, Metallica, No Doubt, Wilco, Black Keys, Justice

Metallica..meh

I'd be down with Black Sabbath though...

[arbee]

can you fuck girls to them?

[littlelionman]

that's a little too personal of a question.

[arbee]

so not as many as with M&S in the background?

[littlelionman]

correction: there has only been 2, but one was many times (to mumford and sons)

it was never really an intentional thing. we just listened to a lot of mumford.

[arbee]

i am one of the few on here that likes M&S, but get ready for accusations of listening to shit music just to get laid.

[Krentistthedentist]

I am glad that your relationship failed.
Maybe you'll find someone with better taste.

[Krentistthedentist]

Metallica..meh

Metallica is the best band of the 6.

[littlelionman]

Metallica is the best band of the 6.

I would see all of the other 5 twice before I would see Metallica again.

[Krentistthedentist]

You really focked it up this time

Hey, how big are Mumford & Sons gonna be? I was debating an IRL yesterday, and am curious to know the opinions of (non-dumbass) folks on the board.

Mumford was there in 2010, Skrillex was there last year, and 2manyDJs was there in 2010 as well i believe. also mumford would get higher billing than Justice and possibly Beck and Death Cab.

[oasisfan]

Hey, how big are Mumford & Sons gonna be? I was debating an IRL yesterday, and am curious to know the opinions of (non-dumbass) folks on the board.

dumbass opinion here. even if the next album does very well, if they don't get away from the folky sound there is no way they will get very much bigger. I don't think a folk sounding band can maintain their stay on top 40 radio. yet again dumbass opinion here, now flame away.

[nikkirkpatrick]

...but they're bigger than beck...

[El Goodo]

No flaming from me (unless it is one of my Guys Only weekends). I am wondering if they might tweak/expand their sound in an effort to do just that.

[MadBird11]

Provided they put out an album between now and Lolla, they'd get the Kings of Leon type spot.

[oasisfan]

if they do tweak it then maybe they will get bigger, and have some lasting appeal.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Beck has no lasting appeal.

[oasisfan]

Beck has no lasting appeal.

and how often do you hear him on top 40 radio where they play whats popular. yes there are some anomalies to this of bands that can be successful without radio hits, but its not likely.

[nikkirkpatrick]

keep on truckin'.

[Krentistthedentist]

They are going to be the folk rock U2

[xbadx1233]

I bet this guy will be there http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/63829903/SBTRKT+02.jpg

[MadBird11]

I hope not.

[xbadx1233]

I'm not a huge fan either, but idk. He's been featured in Spin and has some big name support behind him

[JML]

I wouldn't be surprised to see SBTRKT at Lolla next year but Pitchfork will probably want to snatch him up too

[ChiCity]
