Could Pavement Headline?

[betao]

I like Crazzz. He and I often share similar opinions, and his bluntness is very amusing to me. I'd love to have a beer with him at next year's Coachella.

I believe Randy has confused 'Pavement' with 'Refused.'

Speaking of which, Refused would be a great reunion.

a-fucking-greed. i would love to see a refused reunion.

[C DUB YA]

I've seen them a few times, some great shows, some horrid.

As someone who caught their 1999 performance at the first Coachella, let us hope they have fixed the drunken trainwreck that was their set. I (along with half the polo field) walked away in disgust.

But to answer the question, nope, they can't and shouldn't headline.

[RotationSlimWang]

Oh yeah. Refused. That's that other band people talk about but nobody listens to.

Alright, so what kind of early 90s crap is Pavement?

[rskapcat]

Randy, listen to "Zurich Is Stained", "Summer Babe", or "Trigger Cut". You might like them. Definitely not punk.

[RotationSlimWang]

Post youtubes, I ain't searching for crap.

[RotationSlimWang]

In any event, they obviously can't headline considering that I forgot who the fuck they are.

[rskapcat]

No, they can't headline.

[JebusLives]

What with the declining quality of headliners lately, it could be Billy Talent this year with Pavement in the sub-slot.

[sbessiso]

No.

[hendrixfan143]

I know it's long but you guys who aren't pavement believers need to watch this

[C DUB YA]

Being a "Pavement believer" and thinking they can headline are two different things.

[stuporfly]

Walk into a Best Buy. See how much JJ and Killers material you can find. Then see how many Pavement CDs you can find.

Best Buy sells CDs?

[crazzz2007]

Best Buy sells CDs?

at least 15% of the stores are devoted to CDs.

[crazzz2007]

See, we actually have pretty similar taste in music. I don't understand why you get so huffy some of the times.

it's just my style.

also, someone has to regulate all the stupid shit that is said on here.

also, it is good stress relief. that way, i don't have to act in the same manner in real life.

[crazzz2007]

I like Crazzz. He and I often share similar opinions, and his bluntness is very amusing to me. I'd love to have a beer with him at next year's Coachella.

the beer is on me.

[Ardentbiscuit]

What if they don't end playing Coachella at all?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

What if they don't end playing Coachella at all?

Um.....yeah.

[hendrixfan143]

What if they don't end playing Coachella at all?

thats why i got the New York as backup

[Duvel]

[casey]

yeah, they are playing in NZ and australia in march, so no way they would headline at coachella.

[SometimesNJ]

i think it could happen, but they will most likely fall in the mbv/portishead slot

[OCMusicJunkie]

In any event, they obviously can't headline considering that I forgot who the fuck they are.

Exactly.

Goldenvoice isn't going to put someone on top of a poster than makes 75% of people in their early 20's go "huh??". That's what the sub-headliners are for. Do you know how many people would have left early if MBV headlined instead of sub-headlined last year? Do you know why Leonard Cohen drew fewer people than Silversun Pickups? Coachella is something like 60/40 split between pure music fans to people that just listen to what's on the radio.

The headliners WILL be bands that have sold platinum albums in the past ten years, or be legends (i.e. Mccartney).

[Sexecutioner]

jesus. are you on crack? i did not read this thread, but pavement is not a fucking headliner. to be a headliner you have to be able to sell tickets to the masses. most people dont know who the fuck pavement is. i expect stupid questions like this from newbs, but not from board regulars.

[krk67]

rskapcat -- Thanks for posting Trigger Cut. I LOVE that song and it's easily been over 12 years since I listened to that song and it brings back such memories.

But, no, Pavement shouldn't headline. They should play at a smaller stage so that I'm not surrounded by a bunch of people just standing around, bored, waiting for a headliner. Those people blow.
