So, What Act is Gonna Be the Trainwreck of Coachella 2014?

[RODGERRAMJET]

In years past, we've been entertained with the likes of Amy Winehouse (died prior) and Sly & the Family Stone (totally out-to-lunch ranting and raving instead of performing a single song in its entirety). So, who's going to be the "trainwreck" of Coachella 2014? Predictions?

[anonimouse]

In years past, we've been entertained with the likes of Amy Winehouse (died prior)...

really? she was booked to play and then cancelled just like a ton of other artists have done in the past. that does not constitute a trainwreck (her personal life on the other hand is another story). she never set foot on the grounds and died TWO YEARS after the cancellation.

i'm guessing you just wanted to list someone in addition to sly and couldn't remember any of the other shit-shows that have gone down. if that is the case, here is ariel pink





and while i'm not going to go as far as to say i hope someone has a shitty set this year, i would probably laugh if i heard something went wrong with Krewella's CD player

she set foot on the grounds in 2007.

Bold Prediction:

Lana Del Rey will have a breakdown Weekend 1

i'm guessing you just wanted to list someone in addition to sly so you wouldn't sound so racist.

oh, hey, Rodge. my $ is on The Afghan Whigs and Foxygen to bring the crazy this year.

Why Afghan Whigs? I saw them at their second Fonda show in 2012 and didn't catch a whiff of crazy.

[Miroir Noir]

Yeah Greg is no longer a cokehead.

Also, surprised that people still don't realize that the Ariel Pink thing was performance art.

[santasutt]

Someone in that kiddie band might have to go peepee.

[santasutt]

If they put the Do-Lab on top of the Gobi again, it could be any acoustic-minded artist that has not the manners of a Rodriguez.

[Boourns]

The Monkees were a total mess at Bransonchella.

The lead singer has a well-documented temper, including fist fights with security guards and audience members, and a public meltdown in an airport that ended with him being carried out in a straight jacket. He also is an "ex" heroin addict, suffered major clinical depression and believe he was doing massive amounts of blow with his buddy (director Ted Demme) when his buddy OD'd. So, yeah, the potential for crazy is there.

Seconded. Perhaps a disaster of SNL proportions.

touché shakermaker, i meant from 2009 on. from what i heard of her set in '07 it was anything but a trainwreck.

[heart cooks brain]

i often take acid and call what transpires performance art.

If I may interject... not Afghan Whigs. Greg has been looking after his health, stopped drinking and doing drugs, is SUPER focused on his music and the band are on the good. Their tour has gone off w/o a hitch.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

How about Bryan Ferry

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Or The Fucking Knife

[Bumblebee]

Seconded. Perhaps a disaster of SNL proportions.

That was over 2 years ago.

If its in the day time I could see Motorhead going sideways like he did in Europe last year.

I am fully expecting Lana Del Rey to have some sort of meltdown or drama too

[birdiearch]

Yeah, what is this talk about Foxygen? Can someone provide examples?

And...? If she can't hold a note live I don't really see what could change over a 2 year span. I saw a video from her Lolla set and she sounded just as weak. I fully expect some type of screw up to happen.

In her defense, Nine Inch Nails was performing its first US set in years on the next stage a short distance from her. At one point the noise bleed got so bad it sounded like a true professional mash-up of "Cola" and "Head Like a Hole."

Is it a trainwreck if they rehearse it to suck?

Well that explains the poor sound quality, but aside from that she isn't a strong performer so I stand by what I said. Although I think the amount of sound bleed will determine how bad her set will be.
