Realistic or NO?

[liquidsnake28]

I can totally understand the Mars Volta hate as I completely agree with what crazz said but Mogwai? That's such a random band to hate. They don't even have any vocals.

[brematale111]

I'd be so down to see the mars volta at coachella. heard nothing but good things about their live performance.

Also, any chance of flaming lips in '11? I know we'd be getting roo's sloppy seconds but I'd actually be okay with that

Mogwai does have vocals, but they're minimal. But yeah, I don't get the hate, much less the comparison to The Mars Volta.

[rage patton]

The Mars Volta is a touchy subject for me. Can we please stop talking about them?

Two minor problems with this:

1) Isis broke up recently and will not reform for the foreseeable future.

2) Massive Attack followed by Daft Punk would reduce the visual effect for DP since MA also incorporates a visual Tour de France into their sets. These two 'groups' would have to be on separate days -- and not separate stages -- since both would be fitting for main stage at this point in their respective careers. As well, many would want to see both because even though MA has a live band behind them, there are electronic elements used by both groups.

I like you Bendulum, you were able to critique and make some valuable contributions without making me feel like a failure as that is very common on this site. Very cool, thanks.

[GuyInTucson]

Don't see how The Talking Heads, who have done virtually nothing together for 20 years, are a headliner.

Other than that, I like what you are doing here.

[MissingPerson]

Wait. A visual Tour De France?

[holynovocaine403]

EMINEM!!!!!!

[MissingPerson]

A VISUAL TOUR DE FRANCE!?!

[liquidsnake28]

You're a fucking idiot.

[MissingPerson]

A VISUAL TOUR DE FRANCE?!?!

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I LOL'D

[GuyInTucson]

You're a fucking idiot.

LOL, really now?

Give me one group that has headlined Coachella that has gone on a two decade hiatus before reuniting for a full performance as a headliner.

They haven't released an album since 1988, unless you count the 1996 release without David Byrne, which, well, doesn't fucking count.

As big as they were and as many fans as they developed, you don't put a band that hasn't done anything together in two decades as the HEADLINER of a modern music festival. They have only performed together once (in 2002) since splitting and that was like three songs for their Rock Hall induction. Maybe a second-line sub-headliner, but not a headliner.

Plus, it would never happened. They don't get along anymore. It's as unrealistic as Oasis performing next year.

[MissingPerson]

A VISUAL TOUR DE FRANCE!?!?!?!?!?!

[Bendulum]

I'm glad you don't feel that way since I also find too many board members can potentially make anyone feel utterly terrible. You're most welcome!

A VISUAL TOUR DE FRANCE!?!?!?!?!?!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!11

Better than saying it's "Fucking Amazing"

[MissingPerson]

Okay.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "A visual tour de force".

"Tour De France" is a really big bike race in France.

I mean, I've never seen Massive Attack live, but I'm pretty sure they don't do a really big bike race in France.

[SoulDischarge]

How about a half shark, half alligator, half man? I could see any two of the three together being realistic, but I'm not sure about all three together.

[SoulDischarge]

A VISUAL TOUR DE FRANCE!?!?!?!?!?!

Once again, Kraftwerk did it first.

[obzen]

Okay.

I was wondering how much longer this would go on.

I'm probably as big a TH fan as anyone on here, and I think I agree with all this.

and god that 96 album (No Talking Just Head) was truly horrible.

[MissingPerson]

I was wondering how much longer this would go on.

I had to call other people over to see.

And I'm sorry, Bendulum, I didn't mean to be a douche about it, but I did laugh.

[obzen]

Yes, I saw that in The Default Thread - then I had another laugh.

[MissingPerson]

Like, real world people. And Twitter and Facebook.

I have spent the last day in the shadow of a visual Tour De France.

[obzen]

Now that's funny.

[MissingPerson]

I think my favourite part of Massive Attack's set was when they

[obzen]

I must add that GuyInTuscon has a valid point, given their relative inactivity, Talking Heads subheadlining seems to make the most sense.

[Bendulum]

I think the phrase you're looking for is "A visual tour de force".

Thank you for the correction. No really, Thank You!! I've used the description visual Tour de FRANCE a few times, and probably embarrassed myself out of my ignorance.

The MISquote came from the front cover (bottom of right side) for a film:

I mean, I've never seen Massive Attack live, but I'm pretty sure they don't do a really big bike race in France.

HAVE YOU SEEN GRANT MARSHALL ON A NORCO??!!
