decent...not as great as last year.... but if i lived in Belgium, id go.

[superdeluxe]

Are the Killers huge in Europe?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Are the Killers huge in Europe?

Yes, from what I hear...

[BlackSwan]

Same thing I thought... but, CROOKERS!!!

[betao]

Definitely not the strongest of the European lineups. I'm kinda surprised I dont see MBV on the bill.

[miseducation]

A little weak so far - I was seriously considering going, as it's the only other festival that I think pays enough attention to electronic music and whose lineup compares to Coachella.

Only Villalobos and maybe Crookers do anything to warrant my attention. Also like Coachella though, Pukkelpop has a history of fantastic additions.

Roskilde is still winning and by a lot. That lineup makes me shiver.

[sonofhal]

It's the first time i've been to this festival. The first 2 days have been excellent. The lineup above misses off some key acts like Sigur Ros and Soulwax (who are both playing tomorrow). The Flaming Lips were their usual brilliant selves on Thursday. Other highlights so far have included Holy Fuck, The Dodos, Menomena, Los Campesinos!, Blood Red Shoes, Iron And Wine, Caribou, Robyn, Hot Chip, Does It Offend You, Yeah! and Santogold (now with full band).

The waffles are pretty good too.

[paulb]

SO many conflicts in the schedule.... pretty cool how 2manydjs are playing, and 1 hour later, Soulwax on the main stage, AFTER Sigur Ros... so sick. Metallica tonight.... lucky guys.

[Sushov23]

Santogold (now with full band).

I've been telling a lot of people, she needs to get a full band to take her show to another level. I have a feeling her shows are now fucking HUGE. I say she comes back to Coachella 09. You heard it hear first.

[Memorial_07]

Neurosis?
Fuck yeah!

[betao]

H Y P E

uh, no not really.

They have been switching up between shows, Damage Inc, Whiplash... I love that setlist.

[sonofhal]

I watched half of the first Metallica song, and then left. Not really my thing, but at least it gets their fans out of their mums basements for the night.

[Backwater]

That encore is awesome.

I love that set list.

[Backwater]

It's only missing Blackened and Battery.

[paulb]

those 100% will be played at their own headlining shows.

[Sushov23]

how long do they do when playing their own shows?

[paulb]

2h - 2.5h always...not less...a short show for them is 1h50min

shortest they would do is 1h58min...

[Backwater]

those 100% will be played at their own headlining shows.

The whole set or just the two songs I mentioned? I'm going to have to shell out the money and go if they're for sure playing Battery and Blackened. I'm a fan of thrash so those are two of my favorite songs from them.

[paulb]

those 2 songs... past tour the setlist looked like:

Creeping Death

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Kirk Doodle #1

Sad But True

Disposable Heroes

Kirk Doodle #2

The Unforgiven

And Justice for All

The Memory Remains

The Four Horsemen

Rob Doodle

Orion

Fade to Black

Master Of Puppets

Kirk Doodle #3

Battery

No Leaf Clover

Nothing Else Matters

One

Enter Sandman

Whiplash

Seek and Destroy

Total Running Time: 2:16:19

[paulb]

switching up a few songs...Battery would usually end the 1st set.... then a 5-6 song 1st encore...then 3 more 2nd encore

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I just wonder how they will work the lyric "Unforgiven Three" into "Unforgiven Three" the way they did with "Unforgiven Two" by going "Cuz you're unforgiven, toooooooo"

[malcolmjamalawesome]

By the way, have I mentioned Pukkelpop is the most explosive thing known to man? Even moreso than explosives.

[paulb]

I just wonder how they will work the lyric "Unforgiven Three" into "Unforgiven Three" the way they did with "Unforgiven Two" by going "Cuz you're unforgiven, toooooooo"

"cuz you're unforgiven tooooooooooooooooo plus 1........."

[malcolmjamalawesome]

You've got to give the boys credit that they realize they should only be playing their old stuff in concert.

[paulb]

exactly, and not a single song off St. Anger, they know how much everyone hates it.... and for that, I wish Metallica the best... they could keep touring for another 15 years, as long as they only do the 1st 5 albums...

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I've seen them twice and face was melted.

[paulb]

Ive only seen them twice aswell, much face meltage.... 6 times in December is gonna burn even more, with my fav metal band opening.
