almost acoustic xmas speculations guesses

[thedudereturns]

im guessing rage will play with white stripes or weezer along with interpol or muse
any one else?

[ThomThom]

I think Interpol and Modest Mouse are in, as for any other major bands I am not too sure. You also have to remember that they have one night of pure dog shit emo bands with a decent headliner and one night of good solid bands.

You really wanna guess this far in advance? Thedude is pretty bored right?



Modest Mouse is in just based on scheduling. Rage might if the price is right, Stripes could if Meg was ''sane''. I see no reason for Muse to return, that would be plain over saturation of the market. Interpol is probably a lock, if they are announced on some other x mad shows. Weezer would be a nice suprise, but I wont be shocked if they are on or off.

KROQ? really? c'mon guys, this is the Coachella board. I think we can dude a tad better than that. I'd rather go to a party curated by Jack FM

[ThomThom]

Normally their one good night of Acoustic Christmas consists of a pretty good lineup, other than that I don't look forward to any KROQ events.

[brando4n82]

I sure hope not

[Boourns]

They didn't have a good night in 2003

[ThomThom]

Yeah your right...that was by far one of the worst Acoustic Xmas's...But they more than made up for it in 2004 with probably their best lineup that Saturday

[shakermaker113]

I will once again complain about the ridiculous name of this show.

[suprefan]

Well Live 105 ''Not So Silent Night'' doesnt bring the house down either. Theres way worse ones out there, just look for some of the major market rock stations and the name of their x mas shows.

dude not so silent night was pretty good last year minus silversun pickups= shit.but modest mouse and raconteurs put on a solid show. my jaw was broken 3 days before and my mouth was wired shut so by the time the killers played my drugs wore off and i hated every second of fucking brandon flowers.

[luckyface]

I know it doesn't mean much, but according to Wikipedia:

2007-Rumored Acts include Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, White Stripes, Linkin Park and more

Man, they used to get killer lineups to this event: Lineup history

[shakermaker113]

dude not so silent night was pretty good last year...

we were complaining only about the names.

"almost acoustic christmas", which is never even remotely acoustic.
"not so silent night", which is just plain dumb.

I'd like them to stop altogether, but given that's not going to happen they could at least find someone older than 5 to name their shows.

wow. Jesus and Mary Chain played in '94. I never would have thought.

ya the names are stupid but with a couple solid bands they could call it. diahria on infant baby jesus night and i probably still go for 30 bucks

Just about the name of it dude, nothign else. I have been to a couple of them and they were fun. At least it isnt a mad dash for tickets because of it selling out in a millisecond like KROQ always does.

hahahahahaha +5

that name would be a huge improvement.

damn skippy, i was at the '95 and '97 versions.

[thedudereturns]

dont xmas tickets sell out right before they come on sale? how would you even get tickets?

[JustSteve]

i've been able to pull tickets every year with no problem.

[ThomThom]

I've pulled every year except two years ago when Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Death Cab, and The White Stripes all played the same fucking night...THAT was insane. I missed out on a presale, general sale, and one of KROQ's "we booked too many technical seats" sales a couple days before the show. Other then that I have had no problems like Steve on nearly all of them.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I have mixed reactions of the show. Usually they have one good night and one bad night.

Last year I felt both nights were bad.

Also, that revolving stage gets aggravating. You feel like you can't leave becuase you might miss something because it's non-stop. It's like tv. before Tivo.

Woh! Those past line ups are so good! 97 for the win! With 93 as a close runner up.

There are so many huge names on it each year... how does this thing work? Is it all on one stage (w/ that rotating stage thing)? Or is it multiple stages? Just curious.

Remember the rotating stage thing? Same thing. It has always been in the same venue(except 2 times) and its the same format.
