No. Didn't even have to read your way too long post.

[leo01g]

just my opinion but i think he would be boring

[bluemamba]

put him in the Gobi at 6 pm on friday

[RotationSlimWang]

No. No more old cunts, Wasted. Don't you fucking disobey my edicts ever again.

[Dreamer4Ever]

What exactly IS the "style that belongs at Coachella?"

[RotationSlimWang]

You just like Elton because you like to play Candle In The Wind and pretend you're Marilyn Monroe, Wasted.

Specially you like to pretend a large man is holding you down and forcefeeding you pills in your underwear. Except in your re-enactment, it's your dad. And he leaves tons and tons of DNA all over your fucking face.

[RotationSlimWang]

He didn't write even one of his fucking lyrics, dude. Fuck that shit. Also I had to play Benny And The Jets and Crocodile Rock in band back in school and it was more irritating than I could possibly describe.

[bluemamba]

Put Elton in the Gobi at 12:30 PM on Friday. Nuff said. Problem fixed.

[summerkid]

why not just get the scissor sisters again?

[TickleMeElmo]

So, to sum up your first post...

"fuckyouguysfuckyouguysfuckyouguyseltonjohnisaweso mefuckyouguys"

[RotationSlimWang]

sit your uncomfortably large ass down and accept the fact that writing music and performing music require two completely different mentalities, Bernie wrote long and hard, and Elton sat on it.

***
And the reason you were irritated by those songs... IS CAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ELTON. The Queen wouldn't even knight your cock Randy, Elton has you beat.

I think Bernie mostly just wrote the lyrics, not the music.

I've seen an Elton John show, and it was pretty good... I just don't need to see him at Coachella

[apostle2]

I would be ok with him at Coach if he wasn't in essence stealing a spot very high on the line up from someone that is worth seeing.

[gaypalmsprings]

I saw EJ in Anaheim a few weeks ago. He's a classic, but not Coachella material. Really. Not. B52's would be my pick.

[airguitarvet]

i would say no to EJ

[gaypalmsprings]

If EJ was to perform, he would need something special, like Bernie Taupin & Kiki Dee & George Michael (like Prince did with The Time & Sheila E.). BTW, I saw George Michael in Las Vegas, & he was great. While he'd be laughable by himself at Coachella, he did put on a great show.

[apostle2]

I support Gypsy Kings more than EJ. Better. I agree with your feelings on the homogeneous nature of the lineup, they just have to be careful about how far they go out of their niche to counterbalance it. Prince last year was a perfect choice.

[anti-square]

Take it easy. For a fan it doesn't seem like you know how to feel the love. We promise not to insult you when Elton John never performs at Coachella.

[apostle2]

1 - I was supporting something you said, and hadn't really been that negative about your other stuff. I could've been way more negative, like others.

2 - I contemplated not putting "Better" in there because I thought somebody might misinterpret what I was trying to say. I wasn't patronizing you and saying you were doing better. I was saying I like the Gypsy Kings suggestion better. I like them better. See how those words go together? Lighten up, I could be one of the actual assholes that roam around here. I ended up leaving in Better because I thought no one would automatically assume people are that big of pricks. Chill.

[apostle2]

Sorry, I don't like being called a fucking mutated cat anus.

Unless it's in bed.

You can have Elton John if I get Van Morrison at Coachella doing Astral Weeks & St.Dominics Preview back to back.

[bluemamba]

Elton John wont ever play Coachella. There. Settled!! Done!! End thread!!!

[JebusLives]

Look, tiny dancer is a good song, and even I get all teared up during Almost Famous, but come on... the guy mostly just isn't that good.

[MarkO]

Nowadays his stuff is crap but his old stuff is better crafted than 90% of the schlock championed on these boards.

Look, tiny dancer is a good song, and even I get all teared up during Almost Famous, but come on... the guy mostly just isn't that good.

Tiny Dancer reminds me of Randy.

[Grant]

I personally feel he wouldn't fit in at Coachella very well, like Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam. But to each his or her own.
