Hard punk/metal act for Coachella...

[Xenocide]

Who would you like to see as this year's hard punk/metal act?



i'd say all these are better choices than Enter Shikari, Scars on Broadway, & Serj Tankian...

[Xenocide]

damn... i should have put Black Label Society on there... not that it would ever happen...

[clarky123]

Ministry

[TheWatcher]

I think Ministry or Sex Pistols would maybe be the best fit.

[Boourns]

Winger.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Killswitch Engage is the joke of the joke genre of metalcore.

[frozen pilgrim]

they're pretty terrible alright. I'd rather see dragonforce. and I don't like dragonforce.

[stinkbutt]

Dir En Grey, Killswitch Engage, and Otep are bigger jokes than ICP

[Backwater]

Yeah, sorry but this list sucks. One of the only decent bands on it (Ministry) broke up for good so they have about a 0% chance of playing.

[karecares]

i like otep and i'd say no to coachella for them but i'd say sex pistols off the list would be the most likely...
i'd add dethklok (metalocolypse)

[TheWatcher]

I didn't know. So, Ministry was basically Al Jourgensen, just like NiN is Trent Reznor?

[rage patton]

Killswitch Engage are a fucking joke.

[stinkbutt]

No Ministry was mainly Al and Paul but Paul left right after animostimansidfnasndf or whatever it's called and you can hear it god those last 3 albums were awful

[brando4n82]

Honestly, its been awhile since i listened to anything metalish, but Slayer in the Gobi would...well, Slay!

[stinkbutt]

Slayer is way too big for the gobi that tent would fall apart plus I could never see them playing Coachella

[TheWatcher]

Dir En Grey, Killswitch Engage, and Otep are bigger jokes than ICP

...

Not sure how you are putting Dir en grey in the same category as Killswitch Engage and Otep.

[frozen pilgrim]

Slayer is way too big for the gobi that tent would fall apart

yeah. something tells me they're a touch too big for the gobi or mojave >.<

[stinkbutt]

cuz they are all jokes Dir En Grey being the biggest

[stinkbutt]

It's such a shame Tom can't do that scream at the beginning anymore

[TheWatcher]

Is everything that you don't like a "joke"?

[stinkbutt]

No I dislike lots of things that I can take seriously dir en geh is a fucking joke though

how old are you if you're listening to that shit?

[TheWatcher]

Heh...

I am 48. My daughter started listening to them years ago, and I got hooked.

There is a lot of emotion and the music is actually more complex than you might think at first.

I know a majority of their fans are teenage girls...

They are very good live.

[rage patton]

Seriously though.... lets focus on Bad Brains and The Sex Pistols. How much ass would they kick at Coachella?

[stinkbutt]

The dude from Bad Brains voice is shot but I had fun singing along to Sailin On

Fuck the Sex Pistols they have been washed up since they formed

[rage patton]

I've heard Bad Brains still kick ass live. And The Sex Pistols would be awesome for many reasons. I dont think there is anyone who would be indifferent towards The Sex Pistols at Coachella. People would either love it or hate it.

[pancakespancakes]

OPETH AND NO ONE ELSE!

Bad Brains live are cool , just to say you've seen them, but no they're not very enthusiastic. Still play a lot of classics, "I Against I," etc.

[karecares]

saw gojera and in flames tonight, good show but couldn't see them working the tents

[paulb]

I really like Bad Brains, Building a Nation cd.... some good tracks on there... Id love to see them at Coachella...they were fun at Sasquatch 07...

[Xenocide]

saw gojera and in flames tonight, good show but couldn't see them working the tents

i could see it... it's probably pretty unlikely, but i can picture it...

[frozen pilgrim]

oh god please fucking no

some of the worst bands I've ever seen live:

inflames
children of bodom
as I lay dying
killswitch engage
american head charge
from first to last


some GOOD live metal:
megadeth have greatly improved their live show. not saying they're coachella material. they'd have to go on at night on an outdoor stage- no other way they'd do it

mudvayne, although rather outside of most coachella audience's realm, are an incredibly technical, very tight live band. their bass player absolutely can not be human. there's just no way. he's at least part machine. they've got two really good albums, one 50/50, and one I haven't heard yet. they're also not averse to smaller venues (nighttime gobi against a headliner maybe?), as I saw them in a small club right after they did the main stage at rock am ring

gwar are impossibly tight live. I don't know HOW they manage to shred like that in those costumes, but they do it. the sound is absolutely punishing.
