haha \m/ There isn't ever enough metal or hardcore to keep me happy, but I managed to blast some Body Count and Suicidal Tendencies yesterday waiting for the Saints game to come on. You and Kelly went 2011 when Motorhead played. I wish they'd throw in a random metal band or two every year (better than Andrew W.K. of course). I always can use more loud and fast. Paladia Stage could be dedicated to harder shit IMHO. That's one of the reasons I thought Deluna was so great in 2012. You had Fishbone, Off!, Bob Mould playing Sugar, Band of Skulls, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Superchunk and Bad Brains.
Watched a few folks get their faces or heads busted up at that 2011 Motorhead show and commented at the time that was probably the last metal or biker band for Hangout. The fights spilled over and some young boys and girls got caught up in it.
I agree with Zen. I need a good undercard to be okay with tolerating Kanye fans all weekend.
While I am not a huge fan of Kanye either (music is pretty good but I hate the way he acts) but I'd like the chance to see him because I haven't gotten to yet. Getting Roger Waters (which won't happen), Kanye (which probably won't happen), Deadmau5 (who I'm not a fan of but would be great get), Frank Ocean (who is exceedingly rare at festivals), and Dead Weather (though Jack has made it clear they aren't going to tour soon) would make that quite easily the best top end of the lineup that Hangout has ever had. Plus, he threw in Ride. For those of you that have not seen/do not know Ride, you need to do your best to change that asap. I saw them twice in Atlanta during Shaky Knees (once at the fest and once at an aftershow) and both of the shows were absolutely jaw dropping.
I wonder if the Gulf Shores folks would reject acts heavy in expletives or with history of violent fans like they outlawed tokers?
I doubt they'd say no because a group cussed a lot. BUT, I could see them saying no to bands with a fan-base that is known to be violent. Kinda like LA is trying to (or in the process of) trying to ban EDM festivals due to the deaths that occurred at Hard Summer a few weeks back. And there have been examples of cities fighting/protesting having certain groups playing in their towns. The only difference is that it hasn't really happened with individual acts at music festivals before (to my knowledge)
eh the 2 shows i saw didnt impress with production nor were the overall experiences anything special. He makes (mostly) good music but just having to listen to him rant alone is enough for me to pass
I was good till I got to the Lionel Richie part. Don't get me wrong, he's got some great old music but there are other legendary acts out there I'd rather see that are putting out some really awesome new stuff as well. Hell, Rod Stewarts got a new album coming out and with him there's no telling what it's gonna cover. I would prefer him over Lionel any day.

How about changing it up and going with a female legendary artist? Nobody's thrown anything out in that direction. Janet Jackson and Jewel both have new music coming out this year.

wanted to add a legacy (although dr dre could be considered a legacy as well) that didnt make the top line feel too heavy. Like if i have Elton John or someone else up there it felt unrealistic and didnt want to do the normal Sam Smith or Flo or Strokes.

I'm old, so No Doubt doesn't really rank a legendary spot for me but I'd rather see them than Richie. No offense to fans, but he's a little vanilla for my taste, especially for a closer.

how about The Pixies instead of Lionel?
Elton John is 1000x more likely to do Hangout than dre
Feel like this is getting kinda repetitive. Some want Dr Dre, Kanye, Ludacris and acts that I hope stay in the boom boom tent...but, I would like them to perform cause I like the folks who want to see them. Then there are the Sam Smith fans. Then the Alternative fans and my weeds days are pretty much gone so alt just doesn't play the same on these brain cells, and then there are folks like me, over 50, who want some newer acts like Tedeschi-Trucks that play blues, jazz, jam and smooth grooves or classic rockers from Elton to Arrowsmith (LOL). HOF has done a pretty good job of lining up something for all of us. I would hate to see someone who is just an in your face, egotistical, f this and n that kind of player as a Headliner. In the tent...ok. Agree with most that Coldplay, Muse, Arcade Fire, RHCP (although I would like someone new) would be great on Friday or Saturday night. I would love to see a Fleetwood Mac/Santana/Rod Stewart/John Mellecamp or even Springsteen classic rock group get some HOMF-GV love, big bucks and close the 2016 HOMF down. I hope GV is reading this blog because I believe this is a successful formula. As far as undercard, again a little of everything from OCMS, to Sturgill Simpson, the Superhumanoids, or Little Kitty Loving Pigmies.
I was most impressed and surprised by Blues Traveler. I had always liked them but never considered myself a big fan. They stole the day with a fun set of hits, new stuff, covers (Devil Went Down to Georgia and a ska type version of Radio heads Creep) and Warren Haynes sat in with them. The band wss so into it. They are a safe act, have the early 2000s hit appeal and a little bit of jam for my crowd. I haven't seen them on any mocks but they should still be touring off their new album come May.
Gregg Allman sounded the best he has in years vocally. Glad to see the health issues were behind him. His band isn't nearly as great as he has been talking up though but we did get Warren and Jaimoe out for a mini Brothers reunion encore.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong pretty much destroy any stage they play on. They were at the small third stage and people were running over to be a part of the dancing. Some Baltimore area funk that is really good stuff.
Cabinet is a Bluegrass band that I love amd have seen about ten times. They play a residency at Peach amd had three shows over the weekend including a late night tonight.
Warren Haynes and Railroad Earth is another safe type play. Bluegrass/blues mix and will probably be touring still on their new CD. Could see this to appease the jam crowd but it's not super jammy
Previously mentioned Whiskey Myers who might fit the demo.
Also saw Hard Working Americans, Joe Russo's Almost Dead (amazing), Jaimoe'S Jassz Band, Beats Antique and the Holloway & Kadlecik Project which were all great but a little jammy for Hangout or played last year.
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Definitely down for Blues Traveler and anything close to an Allman Brothers Reunion. Also like your (Moten33) recommendations for the undercard.
Krisp - cold beer says Gulf Shores would pressure to keep Eminem off the lineup. I agree with them. T-R-O-U-B-L-E. I enjoyed his movie, some of his music, and maybe playing at a large downtown indoor venue...but, not for the beach and vacation scene. Cool with other three proposed headliners. Going through my 2015 photos. You in that hoes cap...da man.
