Wait, Slash being old is a problem, but you just bought tickets to see Sabbath?
You're trying way too hard to pretend this lineup is looking shitty. 21 Pilots blows, but otherwise the rumors are solid (and Calvin Harris may not be there at all).
Slash being old isn't a problem at all. The band sucking is the problem. It's not like I was standing in the crowd at Gov Ball and thinking "well this sucks, but man it would be great if they got some people 30 years older on stage to play these songs instead."
Calvin Harris will be there.
Well, the version of GnR I saw had three dudes playing Slash's guitar parts. So yeah, I'd say replacing three people with one person talented enough to do it all would really spice up the show, but there's really no sense debating this any further with you. If you want to pretend those 4 names make this lineup shitty, have fun.

gotta disagree with you about twenty one pilots they're amazing live, but i don't think theres any point in trying to sway your opinion. and what makes you say calvin might not be there at all.

I'm not even trying to rag on that booking. I don't like 21P one bit, but I know they're really popular and it looks like there's enough other decent stuff lineup up it's fine by me. I thought 2014 was way too heavy on that type of shit (and so I didn't go that year) but it's not looking like that so far this year.
There's a debate among the experts on Calvin, ranging from Launchpad saying he's headlining, another saying not headlining, another saying not there at all. I know of one band closing the main that would likely preclude CH playing that stage that night, and then LCD headlining another night doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room in the lineup for him.
Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Fat Axl, 21 Pilots, Major Lazer... You do realize that if this didn't have the name Coachella on it, you guys would be ripping it apart right?
Though I must say, I like that you finally embraced your heel role around here.
And it's almost as if LP has some not-so-hidden agenda for all the sudden finding any reason to rag on Coachella?
I'm not even ragging on Coachella. Lineup isnt my cup of tea. And it's shitty of them, but also smart to lock up as many of these white bread college student bait acts as possible into deals that would prevent them from working with their competitors.
I'm ragging on you guys. This is some Hangout quality booking. And if it didn't have the Coachella name attached you'd be crapping on it. I vividly remember everybody posting fat Axl memes a few years ago. Joking about how shitty of a booking it was for Gov Ball and how funny it would be if Roo booked them too. Suddenly they are playing the pretentious Polo fields, and "OMG u guyz Fat Axl is playing!"
It's the classic GNR lineup. It's a huge difference.

Who specifically are you talking about?
Feb 7, 2013 at 9:29am ` said: I'm firmly in the "no way would I pay an outrageous sum of mony to see Fat Axl and his band of idiots play GNF songs" camp, but if they were part of a festival bill I'd totally rock out to it. My hope is that they sell single day tickets, and that Kings of Leon headline Friday. That way, I could go Saturday/Sunday and see Mssr. West and GNR and everything else. Hell, I might just buy a three day pass and if I have to miss a day, it happens.
When I saw them 5-6 years ago, they were pretty decent. They had three guys in the band to take the place of Slash, but they made up for it with pyrotechnics.
Having actually seen both, AC/DC is better, although Fat Axl brings the pyro. If for some reason Slash comes back the the band, I'd take G&R in a heartbeat.

i dont understand why people are gonna act like Axl rose and GnR are all of a sudden a completey different band just because Axl got fat. Robert plant put on weight and no one refers to him as fat plant/ acts like it takes away from who he is as a performer.

People definitely made fun of Fat Axl here. Lots of jokes and memes. And most of us weren't looking forward to it that much.
But if the band is changed like everyone is saying it is (not just Axl and randoms but Axl and the original lineup) then that's clearly a reason to feel differently. I don't really know how good/bad Axl is in the past few years but it was still fun to make jokes about Roo booking him. I do think if it was a couple of years ago and the rumor was the original lineup then the hate/jokes would have been less intense.
So we're getting a repeat headliner One More Time, eh? Aparently an act people travel Around the World to see? What a Discovery found on the private forums!
lol they were horrible when Governors Ball booked them 3 years ago. Replacing the backing band with guys in their 50s is not going to suddenly make it fucking great. But hey Use Your Delusion
Woah woah. I know everyone loves to hate on Axl but I thought GNR was one of the best sets from Govball 2013.
Booked at Quality Inn Palm Springs. Anyone stay there before? Close to shuttles?
How much that cost ya?
not as much as some of the other options. Got a friend who is gonna try for a ticket, and if he gets one I'll have a split on the room at least. If not, I'll just cancel and grab an Airbnb

sorry, I wasn't Doing it Right I guess. And a quick search shows a few fairly cheap rentals in Indio. But I'm probably sticking with the hotel.
I think the issue that has come up with some in the past is that the renters cancel reservations when they figure out what weekend it is and then jack up the rates.
Edit: as an homage to Phyre Fest, I will refer to this is The Dr. Patel Method from now on.
