Coachella 2011: Rumors, Headliners, rumored Confirmations

[MissingPerson]

Eric dude, I'm pretty sure you don't mean that to be as obnoxious as it reads, but you're missing my point.

I'm just saying, it's not just Marco on his own. As far as I'm concerned, that band are as confirmed as they can be before their name is up on a poster, and it's up to you or anybody else if that lends any weight to his assertion.

[obzen]

No, I'm Eric.



One time I tried to explain to Erik that I had seen UFOs on two different occasions in my life, he doubted my perspicacity.

[menikmati]

I can guarantee you that you saw no UFO's. Sorry to be that guy.

[obzen]

While I may not be sorry that you feel that way, I sorta wish you had seen what I had in those two instances.

[menikmati]

Well lemme be a little more specific....you did see some unidentified flying objects (planes/jets that you couldn't see clearly in the dark and mistook for something else), but you did not see any alien craft being flown by creatures not from planet Earth/or some secret alien powered Government craft.

[obzen]

I couldn't help but laugh when reading your specification - I did not see a jet/plane, Menik.

I'm quite aware of the numerous, unmistakable differences between that of distinguishable, identifiable flying vessels and deathly silent, gigantic, black triangles or bright blue orbs flying around like hummingbirds for that matter. Needless to say, that awareness has not waned.

Will Smith on the Main Stage w/ 52 masked dancers wearing masks of Ron L Hubbard. Will Smith does a one man show, embarking on interpretations of I Robot, I Am Legend, while performing a lengthy version of the M.I.B. theme song. Tom Cruise stands on the Pope's shoulders flying around a remote controlled airplane with John Travolta in the cockpit, getting "flight head" from a vision his younger self (the Grease version)...CONFIRMED.

I'm camping at the main stage for that one.

[SoulDischarge]

I check this thread once in 3 months and you're debating the existence of UFOs. This is worse than a Radiohead thread.

And now you're a part of it.

Do they fight Xenu for an encore?

Just seems too early for Arcade Fire to headline. Not saying they won't, but 3 albums is less work than any other headliner, no? Muse was well deserved. Even the Killers and Jack Johnson had more material. The music is awesome and is definitely good enough, just think there is a band more deserving.

[FoxeyLady]

The Killers were touring behind their third album when they headlined. I believe Coldplay was as well. Shit, RATM only ever recorded three albums (not counting the covers record) and they have done it twice. Oh, and of course, Gorillaz.

[thom cobain]

Thought the Killers had four? Pretty sure. Forgot about Coldplay. Wasn't happy to see them headline either. Good point, but I'm not about to give Arcade Fire the same props as Gorillaz or Rage. Not as rare.

[captncrzy]

Wrong. Killers had three.

[tyles]

Jane's Addiction only had two albums when they headlined, if we want to be technical here.

[HandBanana]

Why wouldn't they be a good fit? I get that they might not be the hottest act around right now.

For whatever reason REM is pretty criminally ignored and underrated by the current generation, possibly because they are tied too closely in their minds to REM's sorta bland mid90s stuff.

[heart cooks brain]

Tool only had 2 LPs in '99

In 2008 R.E.M. was playing more of their 80's catalog, and hopefully they'll continue that trend when they tour behind their new album in 2011.
Very much ignored, but actually a tight band when playing live (needless to say).

[HandBanana]

Oh def. I saw them do two nights at the Greek in 08.
Sadly, I think if you're say 18 now you only think of "Everybody Hurts" and "Shiny Happy People" if you think of them at all.

[MissingPerson]

Hmm. I think maybe I should give REM a real shot sometime. Because yeah, I do only ever really think of their pleasant-but-forgettable 90s stuff, Everybody Hurts aside.

[Gribbz]

I've been meaning to dive into R.E.M.'s discography but haven't gotten around to it. I really like the songs they wrote about Andy Kaufman. Which album would yall recommend I download first?

[MissingPerson]

I also find it more than a little distracting that Michael Stipe has looked like a cancer patient his entire life.

[heart cooks brain]

We can't all be blessed above the forehead

[Coachella Bound]

when does the lineup contest start....? im gunnin for you Dorkfish.

[liquidsnake28]

That or Automatic For The People.

Pretty sure the deadline was in November last year and that I came in top 5. Already thinking about it too.

[menikmati]

I already got my list made out...

[vinylmartyr]

I will win this year.
