[nakedfrog]

The Killers seem out of place.

Fixed that for ya.

I think it was '92

Primus, Tool, Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine. Various other gems from the 90s

Ohh man I miss good music.

 

[SirStev0]

Depeche Mode, Tool, Beastie Boys, and Jane's are the only real pullers. Though my gf loves that ben folds character.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Is this fest only in one location now?

 

[K1052]

I have it on good authority that Platypus is hosting a get together for the Chicago chapter of the Jane's Addiction fan club down at John Barleycorn the day before.

Bring your friends.

man, you had to pick the most brah bar possible didn't you? 😛

We should hold that party at the Lucky Horseshoe, it will be much more at home there 😉

 

[Brainonska511]

No bands there that I'd be interested in seeing.

Damnit... I wish it were like the old days when it might actually show up somewhere near me...

Well, I've never had the chance to see Tool live for one reason or another so this may be my last shot. Lollapalooza (where I may have to actually hotel it) or Bonnaroo (where I can just drive 20 minutes back to the house)... HRMMM...

 

[Twofootputt]

August 7-9, 2009

Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois

 

[AMDZen]

I will say that unless you're a pretty devoted fan, their ampitheater show is less than spectacular. They really belong in a theater or other smallish venue.

That was 93. I went to 92, 93, and 94. It was a great. I miss those days.

 

[evident]

full of bands that have that fake indie sound, and tool, snoop dog and rise against.

 

[Saint Nick]

deadmau5 will be there. That'll be sick.

Uh...well, if any of you cats are going to LOLLA this year, we should definitely hook up. It would probably be a pretty good time. I'll make another thread about it before the festival to see if anyone is interested. We're taking Amtrak from Omaha -> Chicago on August 5th and leaving on August 11th.

 

[waffleironhead]

sounds more like "Dollop of Losers"
