My last day at current job, dicking around guessing that each of these means one band. 0: "You saw a poster that said 'Riot Fest.'" --> RIOT = White Riot = Clash Reunion with Strummer Hologram 1: "It's time to party." --> Andrew WK 2: "You can’t really think of anything better to do." --> I Just Want to Have Something To Do == Hologram Ramones 3: "To look for the keys you lost last year in the porta potty." --> Potty == Turds == Enema == Blink-182 4: "It’s better than staying at home." --> Home == Naked Raygun Song == Naked Raygun 5: "Nobody would go to prom with you. This is better than prom." == I Didn't Get Invited to the Prom == The Queers 6: "You've been dreaming about Riot Fest lately, haven't you?" == Dreaming == Blondie...again 7: "To puke on the Ferris wheel." == Save Ferris 8: "To bathe in the blood of aliens." == Gwar 9: "You need to break in your new boots." == Bootsy Collins 10: "You hate cantaloupe, and cantaloupe is banned." == Cantaloop == Us3 11: "Maybe John Stamos will finally be there this year." == DJ TANNER! 12: "These are the best years of your life, and if you blink, they’ll be gone." == Best years of your life == BAHA MEN 13: "You love to poop in the porta potties." == This has already gotten boring and I can't possibly keep it up for 70 more of these.
"Nobody would go to prom with you. This is better than prom." WAIT! I need a date to the prom Would you like to come along But nobody would go to the prom with me baby Violent Femmes -- American Music Violent Femmes are already pretty much certain for Riot Fest Are there actual hints in here and not just stupid bullshit??!??!??!?!?!!
#38 is an Andrew WK lyric verbatim and #43 mentions GWAR by name, but we already knew they both were playing. Whether any of the other things are clues or not I'm not sure It might be that they'll start rolling out different fortunes at some point with more direct hints. Been checking today and nothing new so far though. Maybe this weekend?
It is no fun at all, and mine is only possible at the moment (but my gut tells me it’ll happen). Ah well, life I suppose
I'm guessing next week. I'm seeing sponsored posts on facebook from them saying the lineup is coming soon, so it looks like they're getting ready to roll this out. Stoked!
Add another band to the speculation... Stephen Malkmus Calls Pavement Reunion Chances “Realistic” | Pitchfork
My cousin asked me to be an usher in his wedding, thanksgiving weekend, at 1pm, an hour after the Michigan-Ohio State game starts... I have Michigan season tickets...
I’d say this is a real strong chance for next year. (Although it’s kinda weird hearing this considering SM turned down another reunion before and mentioned in interviews that a reunion would definitely not happen...) Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks Drop 'Sparkle Hard,' and Nix a Pavement Reunion: "No, That's Not Happening"
lol I know for a fact that he is on their never again list. I know they were working on getting his cut back after the shit he pulled.
You are being redirected... I was trying to link this article to that post but it came out weird... Anyway, this is where i got it from
The statement to Brad Wilk (through you) is still to not fuck with me. After seeing SOAD and Tool last weekend, it would knock the last of my top 3 bucket list bands off the list.
That would be amazing, but I might actually worry for my safety after hearing how crazy their Lolla set was in 2008.
Even if RATM got back together, Riot is too small for their reunion. The crowd would be massive for that reunion and Riot would have to re-do their stage configuration.
If they get back together I think they play the venue in Tinley or even Soldier Field. Are they big enough for Soldier Field though?
If rage gets back together they would play lolla over anything and everything or do their own fest out in Cali
Rage Against the Machine is absolutely my #1 bucket band to see live, so a reunion would be incredible.
