Rock shows

[Diomedes]

Not,presumably, the kind of end his death metal band celebrated.

Firefly will announce their lineup on Tuesday. They put a bunch of hints up on their website. Supposedly the Lumineers and Black Keys are part of their lineup. I'd like to see TOOL but that's not really their scene. Drummer Danny Carey said their new album will be out this year then Maynard said no new album...meaning there should be a new album this year. One of the songs is 20 minutes long. They're touring in Australia in April and May and Firefly isn't until the end of July.

In other news MMRBQ headliners are Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.

Actually pretty disappointed with the Firefly lineup....Really only interested in Petty, MGMT, and Public Enemy. I'll probably check out Dispatch too since a lot of my friends listen to them and I've never not enjoyed them.

[SD]

Not interesed in seeing the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Who is the third headliner? RHCP Tom Petty and...?

Not as good of a lineup as last year but I've never seen Petty/RHCP or PE

[Rome]

MGMT absolutely sucks.   Public Enemy is great live.  Saw them when they opened for U2 years ago. 

[Munson]

I was never into RHCP. They were always one of those bands who's songs would come on the radio and I wouldn't change the station but was never really into either. I'll still go to their set though as at least it'll be a lot of songs I know the words to and one or two that I do like.

I assume that Vampire Weekend and Foster the People are sharing Headlining duties for the 3rd day.

Once you get past those first few acts though, there's not nearly as many acts that I want to see as last year. They really went all out with the indie hipster type shtein this year.

Kendrick Lamar is good.  Beats sound like old school Outkast. 
Grizzly Bear is awesome
PE is ridiculous live

In general, the lineup is really solid, Munson just wants bigger names than RHCP and Tom Petty to jerk off to apparently.

It's not the headliners I mind (though I definitely preferred The Killers), it's the secondary acts this year. Last year I wanted to see Modest Mouse, Ok Go, John Legend, The Wallflowers, Silversun Pickups, The Flaming Lips, Cake. This year those slots are filled with a lot of radio indie junk.

These kind of events bring out the hipster douchebags regardless of who the headliners are. They think they're reenacting Woodstock. Last year was a better lineup no doubt, but Public Enemy and RHCP sell me on this show. I figured the Lumineers would be a headliner because they're really popular right now. Not really into Vampire Weekend but Foster the People have a couple of decent song.

The shocker to me is they don't have a lot of repeat bands. Imagine Dragons is decent but I figured the Silver Sun Pickups, Cake, and The Black Keys would be back. There's always a chance some bands get added late because SSP were added a month or so before the show.

A few people I know are saying there's rumors that a 3rd headliner will be announced later. Interesting.

I just don't like how, outside of RHCP, it seemed to ignore any and all rock music made between 1995 and 2008, after last year's pretty diverse line up.

I too would have loved to have seen Silversun or Cake again this year...even though Cake's commentary in between songs got a little weird at times haha

Stop saying things like "A few people I know..."  Just stop it.
