Best heavy band for Coachella

[xuclarockerx]

I'd imagine you wouldn't want to see anything but a full headlining set from them. Saw them in May and even if you don't like the music, the sheer theatrics and showmanship was the best thing all year, better than Peter Gabriel (my #1 show)

Missing somebody thats gonna play, but its ok.....

A 2009 poll isn't up to date? Shocking.

Baroness had better be back. And Torche.

-Mastodon rocked in 09, though they did have some technical problems with sound levels.

-System Of A Down is a toss-up for me, I wouldn't really want to look foward to the hordes upons hordes of morons that they'd bring in, even though at some point everyone seemed to like them between 2002-2006. I'd also only want to hear songs from only the first two LPs.

-Dillinger Escape Plan was really underwhelming.

-I saw Rammstein in 98 and it was fine, considering the bill they were on but it'd be a mistake for Paul Tollett to bring them, actually it would be rather stupid.

-I picked Isis (even though they are no more).


There's a few bands that should be considered that weren't on the list, namely:


- Deftones
- A Perfect Circle
- Killing Joke
- Meshuggah
- Opeth
- Melvins
- Helmet
- King Crimson
- Fantômas/Tomahawk
- Primus
- Kyuss
- Pelican
- Sleep
- Boris
- Bad Brains
- Glassjaw
- Far
- Will Haven
- Ministry
- Revolting Cocks
- Pitchshifter

Bad Brains would be awesome to see. They actually have a new album out, and I think they're doing Lolla, or one of those shows, so it's at least possible that they'll be at Coachella this year as they're touring and festival-ready.

honestly, the last time i saw system of a down, it was a gay hippie sing along to all the adult contempo shit they released ontheir last two albums. not one mosh.

[nathanfairchild]

the shows they've done the last couple years have been pretty good.

They were fuckin' incredibly good back in 2002. That's the last time I saw them.

Would love to see Fucked Up.
