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.
