Chemical Brothers!

[Monko]

I've been seeing quite a few people talking about the addition of the Bros. Im one of the people who think they would be a great addition. Do it like they did Tiesto, and put em on the mainstage.

Fans let your voice be heard to GV here, don't just read it and move on to the next gay post.

[Blintz]

well yes, I'd love to have the Chem. Bros or Underworld (preferably both!)... I think it'd bring some diversity to the Coachella crowd anyways, instead of a bunch of hipster Pitchfork kids

[jonnypark]

There isn't enough electronic music this year at all...

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I was hoping for a chem add or underworld or both. also m.a.n.d.y, the thermals, the hives and others im sure...reunion Talking Heads/James

Ed Banger is coming, thats plenty of electronica. Its just we need Chemical Brothers, they only played Nocturnal in Socal and thats just not enough for the millions of people who live here.

I'd say there is stronger showing of dance this year over last. 1999 probably had the most electronica of all years though.

Groups I wasnt familiar with keep turning out to be electro influenced at the very least.

Boys Noize/Ed Banger crew (justice, kavinsky, sebastian) not to mention simian, hot chip, does it offend you, yeah?, demitri from paris...just wait for boys noize to mix in Frau! Someone had better bring in Le Musique by Riot in Belgium, I'm just sayin

[bludevil007]

i like chemical bros fine, but the last thing i want is more electronic acts. This isnt the Winter Music Festival. They need more rock acts, period. I'll take STP, Pearl Jam, QOTSA, the Hives, the Strokes - any of them over chem bros.

[braundiggity]

for serious. I know there are a lot of electronica fans on these boards, but what this lineup needs is good rock acts. There's plenty of electronica, nobody's complained about that at all.

[braundiggity]

and hip hop. No big name hip hop acts yet.

[paulb]

chemical brothers are a must have!

[SleepDeprivation]

I was so disappointed when they weren't on the lineup, I thought they would be for sure. Friday, headlining Sahara after Fatboy Slim, there would be no one at all for Jack Johnson, it would be so appropriate and maybe some people would come for Friday. There's even a perfect Chemical Brothers size spot on the poster in the sub headliners.

I hope gv didn't book them for APW instead...though then I'd have to seriously consider going.

CHEMICAL BROTHERS ARE COACHELLA 2008

[Memorial_07]

Its not even that there isn't enough electronic music...its that there isn't some quality acts

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

who the heck would say no?

[brando4n82]

who the heck would say no?

hah serious. Chem Bros should replace Jack Johnson..

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

hah serious. Chem Bros should replace Jack Johnson..

that would make a lot of folks happy...

[paulb]

...including me. Make It Happen!

I hope you're being sarcastic. There's an incredible amount of electronic artists this year. There is a lack of BIG NAME electronic acts, but that just goes hand in hand with the line-up in general not having very big names; just look at the Fri and Sat headliners.

...And 2005. And 2002. And 2001. And 1999....

I think they've played Coachella way, way too many times.

[Leckie]

PLEASE

Yeah. I think I might've misworded my statement.
But I defintly think there is no huge name electronic acts.
Excluding Kraftwerk

[insbordnat]

who the heck would say no?

This is coming from a one-time huge Chems fan...

I say no.

If they'd stop putting out shitty albums, then I'd say yes. They need to return to their hip-hop and acid house roots and slam down some beatz (Music:Response, It Doesn't Matter, Under the Influence, Piku, Song of the Siren, Hoops, etc.). The EBWs are the only tunes I look forward from them anymore, and that is few and far between.

Probably what pisses me off more than anything are their DJ sets. I've seen them basically "play" Brothers Gonna Work it Out in its entirety twice. Not one change. I could predict each song to my friends.

They have to try a lot harder to get my cash.

Umm, FatboySlim, Sasha and Dickweed, Tenaglia??? and does it get any bigger than Kraftwerk!?!?!?!?!

bigger doesnt mean better...

Did u not see what I wrote after that?

[F00FIGHTER20]

i voted chemical who.....but i do know who they are... just think if they were to add someone, it should be a 'rock n roll' band....there seems to be quite enough electronic music

STOP! You don't know what the hell you're talking about.


There is a reason why they don't repeat the same formula every time. They don't want to turn into The Crystal Method.

As for their DJ sets being repetitive, I call bull. I'm guessing you caught the DJ tour where they were promoting BGWO, which only makes sense for them to play tracks from it. But they're always switching things up. You'd be lucky today to hear ANY track from BGWO in modern day Chemical Brothers DJ set.

[Monko]

Yea Im a fan of We Are the Night.

Don't hate.... plus didnt they do a live set at nocturnal? Im all about live electronica acts alot more than dj sets.

I agree on a certain level, but chem bros. added would be a further progression towards my ultimate phase of brain melting, light explosions to the face

[Leckie]

they should do a set with roger waters

[gibsonorbust]

Just give me chemicals while with the Chemicals

...then again, one is a given. GIVE ME THE CHEM BROS!!!
