I'm thinking very, VERY strongly about it. In fact, even if I lived on the other side of the country I would still consider it.

The reason?

    Hey look everyone! I glow with unmitigated disdain for things I am not especially fond of!

    BTW: RATM is fun. But I wonder if they'll be any good coming back together- if Zach will let any of his underground stuff come, either.

    No I'm serious RATM are the only good ones up there.. the rest looks like new age indie ish, pop or rap.

    Well, Placebo, Circa Survive, and The Decemberists aren't bad. They <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xthwW0xYl1E" target="_blank">were even on the Colbert Report</a>, after all. <3

    why does the west get all the good music (and video game) festivals <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I would love to see: Brazilian Girls, DJ Shadow, Felix da Housecat, Sonic Youth, Gillian Welch, The Decemberists, Fountains of Wayne, Portishead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tisto, Lily Allen, Infected Mushroom, Damien Rice, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Paul van Dyk.

    geez, the more I look over that list, the more awesome it sounds.

    Rage is overrated imo <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> it's sad when you can see acts like Sonic Youth and RHCP at a festival but Rage is considered the headliner...

    Portishead is one of my favorite things ever.

    The only worthwhile bands there were RATM, Bjork, and to a smaller extent, VNV Nation. Kinda weak. Oh, and !!!. !!! owns.

    RHCP would definitely be the headliner if not for the fact that RATM disbanded 7 years ago!! i hope you didn't forget lol <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> they're coming back for this one show. that's why this is huge.

    yeah it's like $265 for all three days.... yeesh.

    it's far enough in the future that i might get a ticket just for the third day..

    or maybe.. the second and third day...

    so tempting :/

    I know a few guys who are flying out from New York. They're poor and in college, so i reckon they've got a lot of hustling to do between now and then. I could afford the concert and plane ticket now, but after I spent almost the same amount to go to Bonnaroo last summer, I realized that those 3 days of dropping off the face of the earth took me like a month of work to pay for. Really puts stuff in perspective.

    Not to mention that these things always end up being complete cluster######s - who knows if my mind could take it again.

    That said, seeing Rage live has been something like a lifelong dream for me . . .

    This is horrible. It's like you have to sit through a ton of crappy bands to get to the band that you want to see.

    It's like hell.

    impressive lineup.

    I really can't recommend 'Arcade Fire' enough. I wasn't very into their music until I saw them live in '95. They do a blinder of a gig. Really has to be experienced.

    I saw RATM live in the early nineties, I'd like to think they still kick ######. I also saw ( and met ) Sonic Youth when they played in Cork in 1991 ( supported by a band almost unheard of at the time called Nirvana ).

    I'd love to see The Jesus and Mary Chain. They're one of those bands I planned to see but never got around to.

    The Gotan Project would be my number one priority at that lineup, for sure.


    i'm surprised to see the frames and rodrigo y gabriella play a US gig. I thought their exposure was limited to Ireland.
