LOLLAPALOOZA: MMJ ORCH.

Pearl Jam was a good 90's band. Respect to them, but lolla is not my favorite.

Will definitely travel to Chicago from NY to catch Pearl Jam.

Tour the southeast guys! Its been almost 3 years.

Good start for Lolla.
Look forward to seeing who else joins PJ.

Have not seen those boys since they played Soldier Field

Anybody heard of who else might be playing? Let's hear some rumors....

Ive heard Rage and the pumpkins, but i dont really believe the one about rage

lets just hope theres enough good bands to make up for the 200 bucks it will eventually cost.
seems ridiculous to me when you're not even camping.

If Rage is there, I'm there.

Pearl Jam at a huge fest in the middle of Grant Park (Eddie was born in Evanston) will be a rocking good time with a loud ass, appreciative crowd.

If they play Do the Evolution I'll shit my pants, intentionally if not involuntarily.

lame ass...doesnt really matter though...look forward to the beautiful CHi in Aug. riding the purple line, being drunk by the time i reach the howard stop, hanging with my boyz, and the delicious chi-town greens, seriously daft punk would have been so much sicker

hate to do this, but now that the forums are gone, I need to get this info from somewhere, does anybody know what kind of bass marc friedman from the slip plays? The one I'm looking for is the white fretless one that he usually plays.
Thanks

i forgot eddie was a purp too, hopefully he'll throw down and not be to shitfaced

to theivywall: you truly are the coolest motherfucker i have ever met!

Daft Punk, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage, Beastie Boys, Cold War Kids, Tool, White Stripes, Wu Tang Clan, Janes Addiction are all very likely to join up w/Lolla, but we'll see! I know that SP & BB will be in Baltimore but not all 3 days, so be on the look out. As well as all of the other "cool" "indie" artists, many of whom are @ the Roo will be in Chi.

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST FEST WE WILL EVER SEE... IF THAT IS EVEN HALF THE BANDS MR. KNIBBS. BUT I WILL SAY THAT LAST YEAR WAS AWESOME, LIGHT SECURITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE SWEET. THIS YEAR IS GOING TO FUCKING ROCK ITS GOING TO BE SICK I CANT WAIT JUST BAUGHT MY TICKETS SO SOMEONE PLEASE TALK SHIT ABOUT THIS FEST SO I CAN LAUGH MY ASS OFF TO SWEET HOME CHICAGO. PEACE YALL DO THE EVLOTION BABY.

OH AND ABOUT THE TICKET PRICE GET A FUCKING JOB AND SAVE MONEY SO YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR SELF AT SWEET ASS FEST LIKE THIS. BITCH BETTER GIVE MY MONEY. RIP ODB

This will be my 3rd year going - just got my tix today too! Every year it seems to get better and better. I'm so excited that PJ is headlining lolla and in my sweet hometown Chicago...been a fan since their inception as a wee teen! :P

Anyone who gives out a shout to Big Baby Jesus aka Dirt Magirt is alright in my book! Keep preachin!

Radiohead plzzz!!!!!

Pearl Jam is fucking awesome. They STILL fucking bring in it. Just because Eddie can no longer stage dive from the lights 30 feet above doesn't mean these guys can't fucking rock. Have you heard Mike McCready play guitar live? If you have, you know what I'm talking about...

If Rage and the Pumpkins are there, damn. Holy Jesus. The apocalypse will come in all it's glory in August! whew.

oh and twalsh, that mothafucka is my cousin, b! woo!

knibbs, right now music industry sources are saying that it looks like the Pumpkins will not be at Lollapalooza. Also, Perry's Satellite Party will probably play, instead of Jane's. Rage is not very likely, although the Nightwatchmen is a possibility.

If you want to see 1/2 of Rage in Chicago, next week go to federal plaza on 4/14; Morello and De La Rocha are part of a rally for workers rights in the afternoon.

Smashing Pumpkins are definitely not going to be at lolla....they'll be in the Bahamas doing some other music festival....i haven't looked this up but thats what my boyfriend read somewhere so i believe him. :)

AND YES YES McCready is a guitar GOD! And PJ is rockin' it as good as always....damn they are so freakin' good....for anyone who's lost faith....download some recent live shit and see for yourself why they still sell out arena's and make people go crazy over them.

I heard Foghat is playing. Love live THE HAT!

this festival better have a sick line up $165 to buy a ticket and all you get is a pearl jam headliner...that dosent sit to well with my wallet

Your telling me Billy Corgan, who was once denied the opportunity to do a farewell show in Grant Park, isn't going to be invited? He is the face of Chicago rock, not Vedder (who's still the man) who took off to Seattle when it was the cool thing to do! Regardless who's there it should be nasty! I'm also feeling a Mars Volta, Flaming Lips, The Good the Bad and the Queen...

"Slow ride, take it easy!" Foghat would be cool, seriously.

Lollapalooza better not cut their set short, even though I'm fully expecting it.

Um, knibbs, Eddie moved to California from Chicago to surf and be in a band before he even thought about pearl jam or Seattle. Do some research before you post, jerk. PJ is one of the best live/touring bands out there. I hope they tour for 20 more years.

Eddie and the Rippers need to hang it up. They were great 12+ years ago... nowadays they'd be more appropriate playing happy hour at a Holliday Inn. I'm embarrassed for them. The first time they played Lolla it was an original and revolutionary festival now it's just sad...

knibbs, people are pretty definite that Corgan is not going to be at Lollapalooza this year. About fifteen bands (smaller) have been leaked so far thru various sources (see the Lolla message board).

If you're in Chicago next weekend, do not miss the mini-rage against the machine reunion at federal plaza. I think this is going to be bigger than anyone realizes.

Lollapalooza cuts everybody's set short, last year all the headliners only got an hour and a half, no full shows, but still a lot of rock. I'm not the biggest Pearljam fan, but I'll still probably be working the beer tent by the mainstage. Does anybody remember buying a beer from the singing beer tent, we'll sing for tips again. Ha ha.

thats funny i think DO remember the singing beer tent....lalala!!! :)

Whoa dude I'm not talkn' shit about PJ assface, Ten was the very first CD I ever bought (b4 then I was all about tapes) and that little poster still hangs up on my wall. I've yet to ever see them live and am looking forward to that-and another thing neither of them (billy or eddie) are true chicagoians-they're suburbanites! Look up that douchebag! (jk bout the db)

Man you guys are taking the fun out of spreading rumors! Perry's the man, satelite party was nasty @ 2005 Lolla would love to see that again. I won't be chi for that rage thing, but will be down in FL covering the Wanee fest for JB, so look out.

*correction-I won't be in Chi-that's what it should say.

pearl jam and tool both blow..have fun..i wouldn't go if it costed $1.65 so obv $165 is absurd to me......why is this even on jambase when isnt anythin gto do with jam bands but rather commercialized gaga regurgitated night in night out?... at least last year they had Bisco

Cavemandan, tool is not on the prospective 2007 Lollapalooza line-up.

2005's Lollapalooza had Claypool and 2 sets of Widespread Panic, among others.

Last year's 2006 Lollapalooza had the following jambands: Disco Biscuits, Ween, Umphrey's McGee, Poi Dog Pondering, My Morning Jacket, Particle, Pepper, Matisyahu, Blues Traveler, Benvenutto-Russo Duo, and bands like Nickel Creek, Wilco, and Cold War Kids, that are kind of jammy. Plus Blues Traveler did an aftershow at HOB, and the Brain Damaged Eggmen (Bisco + UM + Ween + ?) did an allegedly rare aftershow.

So far, only about 20 of the 165 bands scheduled for Lollapalooza 2007 have been "leaked." And of the leaks, there has yet to be the a "jamband leak." But, do you really think Umphreys is going to miss a big gig like this in their own neighborhood? And, Lollapalooza has been trying to get SCI since the cancelled 2004 show. I could see one of SCI's last gigs ever being a Lollapalooza headliner this year. The $165 will be well worth it, but we'll know for sure on 4/12/07, when the mostly complete line-up is released.

I would hope that one of Cheese's last gigs would not be at Lollapalooza, even if they headlined they probably wouldn't get a show with all the big names that Lollapalooza is seemingly going to cram into that weekend. I'm not doggin on Lollapalooza at all, but I just don't think they will give Cheese the time they deserve on their last tour, SCI should do their own festival with the concentration on them for their last show. Also, I'm pretty sure Ween isn't in Brain Damaged Eggman, that band was formed at Jam Cruise 06, which Ween wasn't on, but Dean and Gene may have made an appearance, I wasn't there.

I meant a full show in my first sentence^^^

yeahh, I'm also really hoping cheese has a nice lil going away festy

hnkscrpio, after your comments, I had to look up info about Brain Damaged Eggmen.

Brain Damaged Eggmen apparently are Bisco + UM, and they did Silver Wrapper shows in Chicago last year, either after Wicker Park Festival or Lollapalooza.

Bustle in your Hedgerow apparently is The Duo + Ween, but last year after Lollapalooza, Mr. Metzger could't make it, so Bayliss played in his place.

The two side project apparently run together, for me at least, because UM has a part in both of them.

screw pearl jam

screw you!

sts9?? soul live?? femi kuti?? and a bunch of crap bands I never heard of?? this is a stupid idea. scuse me if you like all this, but this is a lineup that is ODD, the others I am familiar with I do not even care to see. but seriously, soundtribe,soulive, and femi, do not belong here. I know they get paid so WTF. but the crowds to see pearl jam, well, do they give a rats ass about sts9??
I dunno, this seems like a stupid festival on the whole.
Enjoy it if you can, I don't care. its just an odd lineup, and makes me wonder. peas :P

this smells like CLEAR CHANNEL. :P

milesgone, come on is that really ur post?? i'm soooo tired of people just throwin out the negative vibe on anything that their not familiar with. Sure some of the bands u dont like but clearly u do like some of them. Apples and Oranges man??
lets put an end to the negative comments on these boards, u dont like it than don't read about it.
i personally would LOVE to see FEMI Kuti at an outdoor festy any time i could. Bonnaroo in 04 was a freakin muddy dance party! I won't be traveling to Chicago for this one but its interesting to see a more diverse lineup for a festival that wasnt started around "jam bands".

nanatod, thanks for the info: not to be a pain in the ass, but I don't think you would want to call Bustle "Duo+Ween," as Gene and Dean Ween are not part of it (not that the rest of Ween is not important to their sound). I say this only to clarify to readers in case they got fired up thinking that they were going to see more of Ween than one band member. For those of you Ween fans, they are expected to release more gig dates any day now for shows prior to 'Roo. I hear Bustle does a great job- anyone seen them yet?

This is a 30ish hipster's wet dream. If you haven't heard of these bands its cuz you're not an indie rocker. Hardly any hip hop, pop, emo, or jam. Guess the organizers figure more mature, oldish white folk will be easier to handle and have more money to spend on shwag and expensive beer. No complaints here though, there's already enough jam fests, and Bonnaroo is Bonnaroo. Lolla is SXSW in Chicago. Just hopin now the White Stripes will be added ...

props to Perry for maintaining a festival for this long. I won't be there; it's too big of a production for me, but Perry still deserves credit.

I love all the haters. Especially Cavemandan, every one of his posts are negative. Way to represent the bisco faithful, Dan.

milesgone - i can tell you from last years experience that the jam bands that did play lolla recieved a good amount of attention. Umphreys played the main stage during the day, and i would say it was 1/2 or more full (obviously their chitown connection was one of the reasons it was full). But the Biscuits and Particle both played smaller stages, that had big draws. The great thing about this festival is you go to get a well rounded music experience, not to just go see bands that have been pigeon holed with a genre.

Whoa... Daft Punk, STS9 and Slightly Stoopid at the same event... I officially want to go now.

you guys are lost...do this for me...compare last years lineup to this year. There is no Flaming Lips, there is no Wilco, there is no Umph or Bisco. You are all being taken for all you are worth right now, and I for one will drive the extra time to see some talent in the beautiful state of TN

SOUND TRIBE!!!!!!

Cavemandan blows. He lives on the Bonnaroo article thread and has been throwing down lame, one sided opinions for months. Total douche bag. This is not my kinda music but I gotta agree with mattland bout perry.

daft, tribe, femi, pj...i wasnt sure at first for 200$ BUCKS, but now i see soulive added...im there! Beautiful Chitown! ill be drunk be the howard transfer, Purple power! if you dont like this lineup stay out of the best city in the world. chi town in august is paradise!

Lollapalooza is soooo stupid.
Why don't they just ask me who my favorite bands are and then just have that same lineup every year? That would be like way radical. Then I could stay inside this box of ignorance I live in and never be exposed to any new music. Besides, my opinions are infallible and yours are stupid so everyone will win. Now please excuse me for a minute, I have to be inserted into my grandma so I can clean out her vagina ...

music is music people..you all have serious problems and obviously do not understand the whole concept behind music...(ok, not ALL of you, just the you's that are so negative). enjoy it, don't bash it. oh, and by the way if you only want jamband news, go to jambands.com...i don't get how some of you can sit at a computer all day and hate on others opinions...you think people were bashing the grateful dead for having chuck berry open up for them? it's all about diversity people- time to expand the brain and kill the negativity.

peter bjorn and john, daft punk, pearl jam damn i need a new car

This is weak as hell compared to last year. No: Wilco, Ween, Of Montreal, Ryan Adams, Andrew Bird, Racontuers, Mute Math to name a few. Pretty sad.

this lineup seems dated

sts9/roots is the only thing im excited for

sci is def not coming

breadloaf- I saw Bustle In Your Hedgegrow at a Lollapalooza after-party last year and they definately do a great job. it seriously kicked ass. Bayliss was sitting in for Scott Metzger but that definately was not a bad thing from where I was dancing my ass off. Definately worth seeing if you dig Zeppelin and rocking out.

That first group of bands in the lineup didnt get me TOO excited.. Im for sure catching pearl jam, and mmj, but muse is a TERRIBLE band (i had to endure an entire show that i was dragged to with my gf) and isnt snow patrol that one 'myspace' band? ...but i just about shit a brick when i read the rest of the groups... tapes n' tapes, yo la tengo, sean lennon, just to name a few... im there!

Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, STS9, My Morning Jacket, Patti Smith, The Wailers, Modest Mouse, Black Keys, Soulive, Cold War Kids, G Love...kinda hoping these artists are all on the same day so I can just buy a one day ticket. But that's just me personally, I haven't heard about half the bands on here, so it's hard for me to say whether I'd like the music or not. But with the B-Roo lineup being what it is, Waka, All Good, Summercamp. I'll probably not go to Lolla more than the day Pearl Jam is playing.

$.02

Um, I AM a BROKE ass teacher.....BUT if anyone want's to puff down behind the 9's stage for their set, thats were I shall be!!!!!

G, PJ, Soulive, Roots, The wailers and Ben do it for me too.....but I agree with IVY, I doubt they are all playing on the same day....

Wish I could work it again, but I'll be at Camp Zoe with all the freaky peeps.

KEENAN IS THE MAN.... ONLY HIS OPINION COUNTS...DO NOT POST ANYTHIN GUNLESS YOU AGREE WITH KEENAN...HE HAS NO CHARACTER TO STAND ANYBODY WITH THE TRUTH...THE TRUTH = PEARL JAM AND TOOL BOTH BLOW!

there should be a law against lame festys like lollaplooza...pearl jam...lol..u have to be kidding me!

umm pearl jam is ONE of the bands playing.... out of 130(?)

there should be a law against lame people.

that post doesnt even make sense. youre so angry that you write in CAPS and forget to PRROFREAD. GUNLESS. thats exactly how i hope you are buddy. did eddie vedder and maynard gangbang you or something? why the fuck do you care so much? there is no truth you poopshpere. its all opinion and what feels and sounds right to you. if i see one more negative post from you i'm gonna track you down and shove a tool cd up your ass. hows that feel dannyboy?

of course i call someone out and then i miss spell proofread. ohh man im an ass. i enjoy myself.

and misspell misspell. today is not my day. im gonna go outside and do something else.

STS9, The Polyphonic Spree, M.I.A., The Wailers, Patti Smith....great lineup

plus a "Sector 9" afterparty downtown chicago!

Ummmmm.....lots of bands...but too emo-ish for me...ill hit summer camp and big summer classic instead...waaaaayyy better...string cheese baby

Although last years lineup in my opinion was way better, i'll still be there dancin my ass off. No red hot chili peppers?

lol, poopsphere

sts9 at the house of blues on the 3rd - late night! SICK!!

this lineup kills last year except there no ween this year

Since they really seem to be pimpin Pearl Jam I would love to see some the sidebands that PJ members play in added to the lineup since there is no tour and the boys will be well rested from playing an extra 45min with one of there side bands would be nice. Stone with Brad would be the first big key. Mike with FlightToMars or the Rockfords, Jeff where have the 3 Fish been lately and Eddie and Boom could do whatever there going to be doing at the Jack Johnson Hawaii show or Eddie could get guys from other band and just have a fun jam of covers with it.

I was at the Brain Damaged Eggmen late nite last summer and it was ump + bisco... Their 1st set was beatles covers and 2nd set was pink floyd cover. One of the best shows I've been to!!!!

Zoe > Lolla

Bababoey!
Bababoey!

chi town is a craphole of a city. well it is. I have been there, gimme ATL any day.

dude, good enough line up now, patti smith, modest, femi kuti, yeah yeah yeahs, sound tribe, slightly, worth it already but yeah any rumors or truths about rage or pumpkins would send me over the top

Shtty Punk Rock and a bunch of nobodies. I'll see Perl Jam and Beasties in NYC. You notice they didn't invite one band that jams at all. Just a bunch of three chord wonders and Pretty singer songwriters .

F Jackie

I will correct that Pearl Jam and Sound Tribe Jams. excuse the disrespect for them.

"chi town is a craphole of a city"
excuse me?!

and what's this i hear about an sts9 "afterparty" show?

lol deftones!.... how irony always reveals its 2 faces!....i take back that Pearl Jam and Tool blow...i change my statement to...Pearl Jam and TOOL suck!.... i think blow is too good.... 4 winds blow you safely home....blowing in the wind...blow you mind.... wheareas with suck there should be no misinterpetations....and chitown blows all the time becaus eit is the windy city... so the wind blows makes it a city that blows... what makes me laugh is how chitown thinks a deep dish bread with cheese and whatever is pizza....HA... pizza is not an open faced throw whatever you can onto dough clusterfruck.... plus the cubs suck and the city has gone downhill since Jordon stopped playing...

milesgone

CHICAGO is beautiful, clean, and has one of the dopest skylines in the world. Take your head out of your ass, or stop huffing you cumrag.

ATL is an awesome city, but it doesn't have shit on Chicago.....period.

yawn

Milesgone,

If you think that Chicago is a craphole, then stay the fuck out of it you moron. Chicago is a wonderful place to visit or live.

what a saweet line up lolas gunna be a trip and a half

chicago is a great city and this is a great lineup. this is a festival that can introduce you to stuff you haven't heard before, and that's a quality all festivals should have. i'm pleased. except what the hell no flaming lips.

milesgone=dbag.

you must have just spent time at the O'Hare Airport then on a layover or something.
Chicago is the cleanest, most vibrant, progressive, and great cities on the earth!
i was born and raised in chi-town but now live in Baltimore. you want to see a craphole then come here.
Atlanta is NOTHING SPECIAL.

Best line of the thread..."Crappy bands I've never heard of"....uhhh

Quite a few great bands, but it doesn't come close to Bonnaroo. While I'm on the farm watching SCI, Tool, Panic, Ziggy, Ween, Galactic, STS9, Old Crow.....I'll be thinking of you city-suckers.

what alot of negative vibes. realize the music you don't know could be your next favorite group. i like the mix of bands i have heard of and bands i haven't. open up your mind and let something new in. you will be better for it

Nice there tends to be numerous Chi-Towners here! Thanks for sticking up the city, and a big fuck you to all you haters out there!

DAFT PUNK that's all I gotta say, I will be powering my funk-bot for massive grooving. Soulive and Tribe at the first Chi Lolla was nasty and I'm totally looking forward to it.

ive lived in the chi my whole life, and it didnt even piss me off a bit to read whoever it was that says 'chi-town blows' or whatever, i think its hilarious.
whatever. ill be jammin all weekend, and milesgone can continue attempts at performing oral on himself over in ATL

the news about my morning jacket is just fucking redic!!!!! i think i just might cry if i miss it. and i probably will because that's a long hike coming from gore virginia (camp barefoot2 volunteer) to chi-town (lolla) ROCK ON MMJ!

This festival is for people who are into a lot of indie bands. I personally listen to almost of the bands that are playing and for someone who likes that type of music, this festival is amazing.

Last time I went to Lolla ('05) it was texas hot. "You betta PUT some water in that shit" - Craig's dad from Friday. Seriously, am pumped to see pearl jam. It will be my first time, and thus am excited for Eddie to pop my cherry. Cause there's nothin better than a swettie eddie vedder.

My Morning Jacket fuckins rocks represent from that ky rock out at lola guys

Milesgone: Chicago is a crap hole? You live in Chattanooga for the love of incest.

I just hope that the sound bleed isn't an issue during the MMJ w/ Orchestra set. On a very sad news day, this MMJ story brightened my spirits a bit. Chi-town represent!!!

Cavemandan is a tool that lives in his own world. He has a personal vendetta against all music not currently playing in his land. Caveman, could you enlighten me and actually say what you actually do like rahter than what blows/sucks etc?

sure keenan!...thanks for asking... lemme see... i'll start with bands i saw live...that blew me away or were worth more than admission in my opinion.... i know chitown is famous for Brents last show (globe), and Jerrys Last show (soldier)......i liked about every single dead show i was at... i think only 1 out of hundreds was lame... that was at Nassau colesium.... the shortest Terrapin ever and an early cut off time...... i really dug frank zappa live the 3 times i saw him... i regret not going more often... i think tix were like 10 or 12 bux.... acoustic hot tuna with papa john, marty balin, paul katner, jack cassidy and jorma was always worth admission price...jorma solo in a dirty nj bar until 4 am sitting 1 table away requesting songs was also a treat... dave bromberg acoustic was awesome... neil young with the international harvester band was a go go but with crazy horse was so so.... the rolling stones believe it or not really brought their game... i am ussually not one to buy into stage effects and vids and stuff, but that combined with the kick ass sound system and energy was a huge surprise to me... whereas red hot chilli peppers live seemed so dull.... little feat live was always fun and when they opened for the dead a few times that was a treat.... john cougar mellencamp live was also a surprise... pink floyd were obviously great live as was the moody blues, yes, rush, billy joel, david bowie, pat benatar, the allmans, marshall tucker, george clinton and p funk, oregon, pierre bensusan, james taylor, jerry garcia band, ratdog, phil and friends, bob dylan, whereas i though zztop and skynard live were so so...aerosmith is actually really good live as are the black crowes and edger winter band. steppenwolf, foghat, kansas, deep purple, the doobie brothers and the band.... i wasn't too into live, fuel, DSO, or spin doctors live but really liked alot of bands that are still around like the mother hips, jambay, juggling suns, the disco biscuits, sts9, moe, karl denison, greyboy allstars, n mississipi allstars, and of course phish...i also liked chic corea and claude bolling, and the who....kinda eclectic bunch....i know i missed tons of shows i saw live...but at least you get a jest... i have tons of ticket stubs i saved and tons i pitched... i should upload them online someday, so ppl can use as cd covers...lol...of course jethro tull was sweet and believe it or not so was def leppard , the scorpions, loverboy and rainbow but i thought twisted sister was lame...wheareas ted nuget kicked ass.... spryro gyro was kind and the subdudes were also....oh man your making me think about aLL THE GREAT times I had, and really making me even more confident that TOOL and Pearljam are lame... lemme see keenan, i havent really even included how great bob seager was live and I am sure lots more... oh so am i still a tool or has that title now shifted to you?...hahahaha... that answer is pretty obvious... go enjoy TOOL you TOOL....
