It's pretty pathetic trying to act tough against young girls just because you didn't enjoy the Liti Alen Quote🙏 🙏 🙏

and looks a bit like Phil Anselmo with buck teeth.

I only liked three metal bands and one punk band at the festival; my musical taste is clearly maturing perfectly.👍

slypanther5 said:It’s still a soulless festival that feels like some local county fair back in rural Ohio.

Kevin Chavez3 said:Yeah, and I suppose Ke$ha is going to step in and replace Michael Jackson next.🙏

coppermarlin81 said:So, I didn't miss much then. Thanks for the heads up.🙏

hahaha, I am absolutely loving these comments 🙂 Lale, you're really on your game today 👍

Ethan Cook81 said:I had a wonderful time

I'm guessing there's going to be an argument at home later 😬

silentmaker said:So, Sergeant Garcia absolutely crushed it—I can't quite recall, what was Adrian Sherwood like again?

Just awful 😁

Moby 🙏🙏 his set felt way too rushed 😢 as for that whole throwing stuff bit, I’ve got nothing to say 🙄 Americans, what are you guys even doing ☕

Sargent really dragged that set out—it's fine if you want to listen for maybe half an hour, but after that, you're just over it.

But man, Kiril 🙏 🙏 hats off to him, that was incredible—pure fire from the first second to the very last. 😍😍

🙂

but that isn't really the case. Honestly, I had an amazing time—aside from the fact that I'm currently nursing a massive sleep deficit and feeling like certain parts could have been handled a bit better. That’s why I’m hanging out here on the forum instead of translating absolute nonsense.
Besides, just try translating this mess:
"the conversion rate from the NET settlement currency to the trader cycle vault"
(and so on, ad infinitum... it's all just lines of text without any actual context. (to be clear, the snippet above is not taken from any context))

Still, overall, the festival was a blast.😍

Anyone interested in some gourmet sausages, a VIP jacket, and a little badge for a special little girl? 😁

I've got my white Blunts from Aspen and some Os right here too. You want in? 🙂

Oh, I could definitely send you the schedule for the Winter Queen pageant 😁

I suppose I’ve never actually experienced sitting through such a massive amount of music that simply fails to interest me...

Anthrax are quite amusing; I find it rather interesting that their guitarist held a workshop for young metalheads in Nashville just the day before. Respect...

The Editors might consider holding a workshop in a local barbershop instead. I have honestly never heard or seen anything quite as subpar from a band as they are...

And I am not entirely sure why everyone in the hip-hop crowd feels the need to act out every cliché. Those nerd types over by the indie stage, relentlessly insisting on a rivalry with the metal stage—which, at that moment, had maybe thirty people on it... though none of that compares to the moment that guy from the indie section suddenly transformed from a jumping fool at the end of the set into a literal Martin Luther King Jr. figure for the downtrodden, helping us all persist in pursuing our own talents... you get some cheap arena pay and a spiritual awakening reminiscent of a Sunday morning sermon, all in one package.🙏

I truly cannot wrap my head around Moby; it seems like music without any substance, designed for cocaine-fueled yuppies. I didn't even really get close to that soundtrack used for corporate meetings at companies like AT&T...

Tricky was quite charming in his absolute disheveled state... you know, the band plays Ace of Spades, he barely participates, just waving his hands and mumbling, and then as an encore, the band plays Ace of Spades AGAIN, and he just mumbles and wanders about once more... haha, brilliant!

Art Brut was alright, probably the best part alongside Anthrax... although they don't really have many songs. Still, I appreciate how the singer hinted about not giving a damn about anything about twenty different times. That always tends to lighten my mood...

I’ve got that too 🙂 honestly, it’s probably just going to be a one-sided thing. 😬

But I bet you don't have three T-Mobile pink baseball caps lying around, do you? 😬

My take on day two of this wild, chaotic festival ride.

Art Brut – total snooze fest
Editors – pretty boring
Antenat – nothing to write home about
NERD – just meh...
Šekret Garcia – yawn
Anthrax – skip it
Moby – didn't do it for me
Tricky – complete bore

Do I even want this? Does anyone besides Mudrick or his kids actually want this? 🤷

stormyviper11 said:A quick breakdown of how much energy was actually in the air during day two of the festival.

Art Brut – boring
Editors – boring
Antenat – boring
NERD – boring
Šekret Garcia – boring
Anthrax – boring
Moby – boring
Tricky – boring

Well, that’s officially the final nail in the coffin! 🙏
Thanks stormyviper11 for clearing up any last lingering doubts I had. 😬

Alright, let me throw my two cents in now that the festival is over.
Lilly Allen is boring. She’s generic, completely uninspired, and that laugh is just painful to listen to. Zero points from me.

Day one was everything I wanted out of it. To top it all off, Hatebreed—a band I’d never even heard of, let alone planned to see—ended up being hands down the best set of the entire Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The raw energy was just insane. I spent the whole time grinning like an idiot.

I watched Kraftwerk for about six songs before heading out for a beer—and I never actually made it back. It was an impressive show, sure. They played all the hits and everything, but it just didn't click for me. Honestly, I think I’d prefer seeing them at a solo concert. At a festival like Coachella, there's just too much background noise for my taste.

They sounded pretty weak on the call. Honestly, they just sounded lifeless. I have no idea what was up with them.

Dimmu Borgir is a joke. 😁

Franz Ferdinand killed it at the start. Everyone was jumping and dancing just to get hyped up for those two big tracks in the middle. Then they played Ulysses and started dragging the tempo out again. By the time they hit "I This Fire," they started getting all moody and slow, which honestly annoyed me. If you play a dance track, just play it! Don't start playing existential crisis music halfway through a beat. Still, I had a blast. I danced my heart out.

Day two.

Art Brut was pleasant and charming. They played their songs perfectly right around 5:00 PM at Coachella—just enough to set the mood. They definitely enjoyed themselves, too.

Editors... I honestly don't get it. I have no clue why they're so popular.

Rising Dream—hands down the best keyboard experience I've ever had. Tonight is our big night! 😬 The singer acts like he’s actually part of the band. Even without hair or a guitar, he’s out there shredding on an air guitar and headbanging like a maniac. Antenat is pretty boring, but he does a solid job holding down the background tracks.

God Dethroned is boring and just follows trends. Anthrax was alright—fun enough, but I’m glad they didn't drag it out longer. Not that I'm an expert or anything. 😁 I finished half a beer next to Tricky, strolled past Moby’s latest track while walking home, and just moped about Michael.

I had a blast. I live for festivals—the crowds, the music, just being out there in the thick of it. Everything was incredibly well-run, too. I didn't have to wait in a single line the entire two days. It was that perfect festival vibe. Huge thanks to the organizers for such a killer time.

hollowseal33 said:...and then Hatebreed, a band I'd never even heard of (let alone actually wanted to see), ended up being the most convincingly incredible set of the entire festival. There was just this massive surge of raw energy, and honestly, I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot the whole time.

Even though I don't listen to this kind of music at all and don't really have much of a taste for it, I find myself agreeing with the sentiment above.
There was just "something" about that performance. Pure guts, probably.

I guess Hatebreed might be the main draw at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 🙂

Linda Gray51 said:The festival promo asking "who wants to hear some reggae music"???
nobody wants to.
Best moment: Anthrax 🙂 (two songs then I was out. way too much metal for me, probably the most I've ever dealt with in my life)

Tricky being over an hour late isn't what I'd call good management. Then Lezbor shows up an hour late and can barely be heard because the Editors are drowning them out. Total mess. Some things were fine, others weren't. They could've at least hired an editor for those screens instead of letting typos run wild on basically every slide. Their literacy is as bad as their organization.

Long live street food!

What happened to the street food?! 😲
That's the only reason I'm bummed I missed it this year.

Anyway, why didn't you guys sell tickets?

I had no clue Lezbor was playing. Did you get any footage? 😉

Man, grammar really does haunt you, doesn't it? 😁

Who actually asked for that reggae music?

gentlepuma20 said:JBT and Hatebreed are the headliners at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival🙂

If you had actually seen how Baje tears through Thirsty and Miserable or Ghosts of War, you’d be smashing that microwave to pieces instead of climbing inside it...☕

e, I really owe a huge thanks to my benefactor for the financial boost that, among other things, finally allowed me to grab a greasy sausage and cream-topped fried dough snack at a local fair 🙂

Second only to Kraftwerk.
