Rock the Bells 2012

[xanman86]

Do you think Missy is on a level with Outkast?

No, I was just asking because I always considered Outkast to be headliner potential for Coachella but a friend of mine told me recently he didn't think they were big enough.

I am planning on going to Rock The Bells in San Bernardino this year (my 1st time going) and I have a few questions

How is the crowd at RTB? Are they full of pretentious backpackers who think they're better than everyone? Are they mostly chill people? ect

How is the NOS Event Center as a venue?

Thanks

Bone Thugs are doing E. 1999 Eternal in its entirety. Damn.

[nick5745]

Out of the whole lineup, some people are more excited for Missy Elliot than the majority of the others? Garbage.

[travelfan]

Do you think Outkast is still big enough to headline?

Absolutely. Without a doubt.

Deal.

[xanman86]

Absolutely. Without a doubt.

That's what I was saying to him also. Plus they can bring out so many people if they wanted.


For RtB I'm most excited about Timbaland, Nas, Slick Rick, Salt-N-Pepa, Immortal Technique, E-40 & Too Short.

I'd like to catch the Kid Cudi, Lupe Fiasco, Method Man and Redman, Deltron 3030, Zion I, and Bone Thugs sets if I can.

As far as I am concerned, the NOS Events Center is one of the worst venues in Southern California.

Little to no grass, always hot with limited shaded areas, gets dirty early in the day, and because of its setup it is crowded almost everywhere. I am sure GU chooses not to use San Manuel Amphitheater to save money and maybe to avoid the minor hassle of fans having to travel to the middle of nowhere. Despite those two points, I do whatever I can to avoid that shit hole. I may stand alone.

In regards to the crowd, it is a nice mix. Not many pretentious people but a great set of stoners who come in all shapes and sizes. I've seen several fights break out so definitely not a Coachella vibe.

I saw a Bone Thugs show a few years ago. I was excited to see them, but most of them ended up lip synching. It was a big disappointment. I don't understand this being called a reunion since these guys have played at college parties, SXSW 2010 Fader Fort, and various Austin dates all the time for the past few years.

I've had great times at Nas, Ice Cube, and Method Man and Redman shows though. They will definitely deliver.

The most interesting to me is Deltron 3030. One of my favorite albums and Del has only performed "Virus" when I have seen him solo.

[andyforpeace]

Deltron 3030 with Dan the Automator and kid koala?? That's gonna be crazy.

[deanlnds]

No more Missy? Wut the hell happened?

[Sushov23]

200 dollar price tag, no ASAP Rocky, Common, Missy Elliott, or Naughty By Nature makes it a pass. Now I have to hope Deltron 3030 decides to come down to SD around the same time.

[xanman86]

Did they take Missy and Timbaland off the lineup? WTF?

[Sushov23]

They aren't on any of the poster for the 3 stops. My guess is they announced before they had them confirmed. They could still end up performing. Still heated about no Common or ASAP rocky for San Bernardino though.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Ha, that's somewhat relieving.



Also, Creepin on Ah Come Up > E. 1999 Eternal

[WhyTheLongFace]

So SoCal doesn't get ice Cube and Missy drops out. Suck my whole dick GU. Why would they go 2 days whej they couldnt sell out one?

[ods..]

Why the fuckkkk isn't this one day. And less than 100 bucks.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Nvm Cube is there. Im not buying a ticket til Missy is replaced tho

[Mr. Dylanja]

I love that 'real' hip hop heads hate that Wiz, Cudi & Tyga are here. I love it! Fucking lames. This is one of the dopest lineups ever. Shit is stacked top to bottom

Nvm Cube is there. Im not buying a ticket til Missy is replaced tho

You're the same person, right?

[OddZilla]

Has RTB at shoreline ever sold out quicky?

[RageAgainst]

Wow man this is just too expensive. And why 2 days? I shudder at having to go back too Nos Events twice in two days,if they are smart they will allow single day ticks.

[deanlnds]

I was really into this lineup with Missy, now ill pass...I think only adding Outkast would make up for it...but then I hope they don't because I would rather have Kast at Coachella...

[Andrew 619]

Does this usually sell out quickly

[deanlnds]

No, they usually still have tickets at the door...

[nick5745]

These guys are amazing

[JoshTheBoyd]

Theyve added pusha t, dmx and eve and a few others but now it appears bone thugs are off the ill as well?

Looks like Bone Thugs is still on there for all 3 shows as of now (though on the NJ show its listed differently on the poster for some reason). They also added Naughty By Nature and Common to the San Bernardino show.


Anyone know if tickets are selling quickly or being close to sold out?

[heyeric]

DELTRON 3030 & gang holy fuck i've been waiting for this. Tickets purchased

[trendski]

So the kickoff party at the HOB last night had Murs, DJ Quick, and Bone Thugz performing. Pretty much a huge letdown even for free #vip. I was hoping for a bigger reunion than freakin Bone Thugz and wtf no Eazy E hologram? I woulda taken a Firm reunion after all those Nas tweets. At least Supernatural absolutely killed it once again w/ his hosting/freestyling.

just got around cutting this....

[Andrew 619]

Action Bronson will be added to Nj line up
