[SynKill]

How could the closing act of the festival go and ruin the festival?

I WANT RADIOHEAD!

[ciaoq]

fir me, rage have ruined my coachella for me this year. i didnt even want to see them, after last year i was willing to travel from ireland again regardless of the line up. then because a load of non-coachella types are coming to see OMFGZ RAGE they bought up my ticket before i could get it. so in conclusion, boo-urns to rage, but even more boo-urns to rage fans

you moron. Haven't you heard? Rage started Coachella. Look up the Coachella 99 poster. And, for whoever said RHCP was this year's Madonna, go to hell. They've played Coachella in '03, they deserve to be there again, despite their aggressive touring schedule. So what. I like music. Don't care who it's by.

I have to somewhat agree with people's pretension as to how much the Sunday crowd is going to be infiltrated by festival virgins and suburban white boy assholes who don't care about the other 37 some odd bands playing and equate a love of RATM and an "understanding of their politics" with moshing and kicking people's asses and generally being a douchebag. However, it's not like anyone is forcing you to go near the mainstage on Sunday.

[PineapplePete]

I didnt know RATM were faux-Orthodox Jews...

[everlay]

suburban white boy assholes who don't care about the other 37 some odd bands playing and equate a love of RATM and an "understanding of their politics"

just curious...do suburban white boy assholes really care about politics?

maybe rename: 'Raging With Machines'
or 'I Love My Machine'
or 'WTF There's Nothin Wrong With The Freakin Machine You A'Hole'
or 'Machines Are Everything'
or 'Be My Machine' (kinda like 'You Dropped A Bomb On Me')
kinda like Strokes fans

can we all stop competing
in this who looks better contest

[crazzz2007]

ratm will be epic

[Ill_Eagle]

i hope rage fans own everyones faces showing great maturity, respecting other bands and fellow fans.

AFTER the show is over however, i will kick some punk emo ass. lol!

[André]

what are you peóple talking about???? Rage fans are the greatest, i my self is one, and others that i know is all about Respect for others! they are in to politics and are soical awere!... thier may be mosh pits when Rage plays, but the mosh pits i have been in, its all about going nuts, but still takeing care off the other people in the mosh pit...

By the fans being complete jerk offs before Rage come on and ruin everyone elses experience who are at the main stage to see another band.

[kreutz2112]

I like how airguitar started this thread, nobody agreed, havent heard from him/her since.

[TRIPYEOOT]

Anyone who compares Rage to Madonna is a GIMP!!!

[boom for reals]

I'm a Rage fan as well. I've also gone to Coachella 4 years, so I'm not strictly in the RATM mindset only. I also can't wait for Explosions in the Sky or Grizzly Bear that day.
Let the moshpit happen, stay clear (as I will) and you'll be fine.

[prelude0-60]

This is going to be my first time comming! I LOVE RATM! I do not think that i would have bought a tix unless they were playing, but now i see the rest of the lineup i am stoked! For all the ppl out there that do not want to get in a moshpit when you see one forming just move! I am one who loves a good pit(when you go down you get right back up, NO HITTING,NO KICKING,JUST PIT LOVE)and i try to respect everyone in and out of the pit at all times!

[boarderwoozel3]

a swarm of non-conventional coachella attendees?

i picture mosh pits- im somewhat scared now. ha ha ha.

Non-conventional coachella attendees?! Yep thats me. Pretty much i'm coming down to see rage but there are many other bands I'm stoked to see on all 3 days.

[mchertron]

HELLLL NOOO rage is not this years madonna.
If anything no doubt or gwen would be this years madonna.
there are rumors though that no doubt could be playing on buzznet which is a really good source ... could be strange.haha

[rage patton]

Mosh pits are all good and fun. Then you get assholes who go to fight and throw punches. Those people deserve to die. Or, to be less extreme, get kicked out. Mosh pits are fun because you get to release an insane amount of energy to music that you love. I less like the pushing and falling, and more like the jumping, moving and headbanging. And my top priority when Im in a mosh pit (beside watching the band) is watching out for other people. People who continue to mosh irregardless are assholes. See, some people just ruin what could be good fun. There is just NO WAY in hell I can stand still while watching Rage. Enough people look at me funny when I sing out loud in my car to them. Ive been waiting 7 years for this. Whos with me at the front!?!?!?
And by the way, if any of you have read my other posts on here, you will know I am here for a number of artists on all 3 days. Not just Rage, although I am stoked beyond belieft that they are there.

[jigglypuflvr@mac.com]

Edit: I guess I'm going to be backstage anyhow, so no worries. Just watch out for yourselves and your friends. Take care of each other, and don't LET some stupid shit go down just because of the part of the Rage crowd that's 'out for blood'.

[theaenimatool]

I am a die hard Rage fan, but that doesn't mean I am going to be disrespectful to any other bands or fans. I am going to see Rage but it is a music festival and I will be checking out all the sights and sounds.

word. i agree 100%. every day of this festival is gonna be amazinig, but having rage close this historic event after such a weekend is just mindblowing.

I. CANT. FUCKING. WAIT.

[daft$tar]

not anti-rage but yes they are this years madonna

[bitchplease]

jesus! everyone needs to relax. this is a fucking festival there's bound to be musicians you wouldn't care to see at all...last year everyone's bitchin was about madonna, but shit, no one was forcing anyone watch ANY performance. if you dont give a fuck about rage, stay the fuck away from the main stage on sunday night. there are plenty of other options, shit! the end.

[gaypalmsprings]

the best thread ever

[I'm Rosetta Stoned]

I hope placebo plays the main stage so I dont have to move from the front of the stage...

Im betting they will play the outdoor stage. Hopefully they dont close :S
I wont miss Rage for Placebo though.

[airguitarvet]

im here bitch.

I like how airguitar started this thread, nobody agreed, havent heard from him/her since.

[airguitarvet]

the whole madonna rage thing goes like this:
both acts attract non-coachella fans0 will they ruin it for all of us?
that was what i meant.
i'm not a gimp. i'm a pimp.
