ACL Lineup Announced............FOO FIGHTERS headlining

[ATRAIN]

http://www.aclfestival.com/lineup.aspx

Id like to see Foo Fighters, The Mars Volta, Beck, Black Keys, Against Me, Gnarls Barkley, and N.E.R.D.

[ATRAIN]

Oh yeah and I forgot Vampire Weekend. I think the band I really want to see is The Black Keys. Thanks to Thunder Dan im really into this band right now.

[Thunder Dan]

they are awesome stuff. From my hometown as well

[peewee's lovechild]

Looks like you were wrong on every other band you said were rumored to come.

But, The Foo Fighters are cool.
So, I'm going.

Robert Plant & Allison Krauss are the ones I want to really see.

John Fogerty, Iron & Wine, G. Love & Special Sauce, Vampire Weekend, and David Byrne are of great interest to me. This sounds like a good line up.

I saw Jakob Dylan has a new group called the Gold Mountain Rebels.
What happened to The Wallflowers?

I think they are doing separate shows in Texas aside from ACL, but the ACL rumors were false it appears. People that booked hotels and stuff are pissed as hell right now

Hey they were just rumors that I heard through various websites, message boards, etc...

[KidCongo]

Mars Volta :tu

[Soul_Patch]

One of the weakest lineups so far. There are still some gems there, but not worth the 170 bucks it cost for the pass.


ill skip this one again...

[Spuradicator]

Eh, last years line up was far better!

The line-up is strong. It's the headliners that suck. $170 is still an assload, even if Wilco, Pearl Jam or Radiohead were performing in combination with the bands already confirmed.

What a disappointing lineup. Completely, utterly and totally dis-ap-point-ing!

Maybe Creed will make a comeback and headline next year's ACL! Foo Fighters are cool but headline cool? No.

Creed?

Are you serious?

[ATRAIN]

Creed?

Are you serious?


Im sure she is joking..............I hope!!!

[katyon6th]

I am joking, are you retarded????

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i can't believe creed actually sold records. are people that deaf?!

[Spuradicator]

Do the Foo fighters even have much of a fan base still?

[ATRAIN]

LOL my personal fav was the Stapp Jesus Pose. That guy was such a tool.

[Thunder Dan]

I think I'd rather see Creed than Foo Fighters. I think I'm in the small minority that thinks Dave Grohl is ultra annoying during live shows. Atleast Scott Stapp would be wasted trying to sing

I never knew they broke up; I still totally love them. I caught a free street concert in Manhattan one night with the Wallflowers, 10,000 Maniacs, and Los Lobos. It was great.

Info on their last cd. So to answer your question. Yes they do.

The album debuted at the top of the UK album chart, selling 135,685 albums in its first week. The album also went platinum in its first week in both Australia[1] and New Zealand. In the U.S., it entered the Billboard 200 album chart at #3, selling 168,668 copies in its first week,[2] and has since been certified gold.

[CuckingFunt]

I have been completely bored to tears by everything that the Foo Fighters have put out since "The Colour and the Shape."

LOL, it be more fun to watch Stapp on stage just to laughat him than it would be to watch the foo fighters

[peewee's lovechild]

I like the Foo Fighters' old stuff.

I'd go to watch them play the old stuff.

Creed is just shit.
Pure shit.

[mrsmaalox]

I'll certainly get my money's worth---maybe even go for VIP tix! I have no problem with Foo Fighters and even if Robert Plant looks like an old shoe, he and John Fogerty, David Byrne, Robert Earl Keen, Kevin Fowler and Shooter Jennings will be fun. As far as bands go, I am so Mars Volta'd out they can just go suck an egg; being from El Paso I have been aware of their every move and incarnation since grade school and it's just old. But Raconteurs, Jakob Dylan, Vampire W.E. and even Asleep At The Wheel are worth every penny.

[Soul_Patch]

Yea there doesnt really seem to be anyone on that list that is like an OMFG Must See!!!

there are some good ones, ones that if i was free that night, id drop maybe 25 to 50 bucks to go see, depending on the venue, but nothing i would go out of my way to spend close to 200 bucks, and fight massive crowds to see.

Foo Fighters are fun and all, but ill stick to their old CD's.

[peewee's lovechild]

No Bruce Springsteen?

[peewee's lovechild]

I'm a little disappointed by this.

[Soul_Patch]

oh...and LOL CREED...they remind me of Collective Soul, revisited.

[ATRAIN]

I used to like Collective Soul, now creed on the other hand, talk about a band that was shoved in our faces.

[ATRAIN]

Didn't Stapp get his ass kicked by his ex wife or something like that?

[CuckingFunt]

Didn't Stapp get his ass kicked by his ex wife or something like that?I think she just slapped him and he filed charges, or something retarded like that.

[ATRAIN]

hahahahah yeah he was a little bitch.

[Thunder Dan]

The Color and the Shape is one of my favorite albums. I can listen to it all the way through, it's great. That said, when you see them live it doesn't sound anything like that. It's Dave Grohl trying way too hard to be a rockstar and he totally fucks up the songs. Just play the fucking songs and shut the hell up. You are not a comedian, people arn't here to hear your lame stories. Get your guitar and play it somewhat similar to what it sounds like on the CD's people buy.

[mardigan]

Beck, Manu Chao, Band of Horses, Gogol Bordello, Vampire Weekend, Del would all be cool to see, but weak lineup overall this year.

[remingtonbo2001]

Foo Fighters are decent, I'm just not sure I'd have them headline an event like ACL.

I'd prefer bands like Blues Travelers, Dave Matthews, Tom Petty or Keller Williams.

[stress]

blues traveler what !!!!!!!!! maybe a line up like deftones headline then ill nino ,glassjaw,chevelle,perfect circle if they were still together and dredge

[Evan]

Band of Horses. Best Indie band of all time, I am going just for them.

[ashbeeigh]

:tu on Duffy and Ingrid Michaelson. I like those girls. I listen to them in the morning when i get ready for work.

[L.I.T]

Some decent lower tier bands though: Spiritualized, Drive-by Truckers, M Ward, The Kills and Mates of State have all put out quality albums, and Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley is worthy.

May be weak compared to last year, but I still wish I was in the US to watch.

[pussyface]

...definitely the most underwhelming austin city limits lineup yet.

if you are over 15 and are excited to see the foo fighters, look into committing suicide

[pussyface]

...they could definitely use a radiohead/wilco/bruce springsteen/neil young/tom petty sort to punch things up considerably

most of the bands I would care to see here could be seen at corner venues on the right night for a lot more worthwhile time.

...seeing the black keys for instance in a wide open field with 20,000 other people is a far cry from seeing them in their element in my experience

[monosylab1k]

Foo Fighters excels at putting out the album with 2 catchy radio songs and then 10 other pieces of shit nobody likes. I bet even the most hardcore Foo Fighters fan out there can only name the 15 or so songs that will be on their Greatest Hits album.

[monosylab1k]

Collective Soul might actually suck worse than Creed.

you forgot about the catchy videos to accompany the songs.
