and i have been witness to an a capella group performing guster songs :(

uhhhhhhhh

Robbie Krieger not pictured ^^^^^

Did Pulp really play at Woodstock 99? and Muse?? really?

intended for the other thread

Everclear and Kid Rock are better than just about anything on the other list. Buckcherry not that bad either. Most of the other bands here are too inconsequential to hate; guess I'll vote Godsmack.

i realize i haven't voted

it's really between Full Devil Driver, Serial Joe and Particle for me.

Limp Bizkit was pretty much a big nasty zit on the face of music.

my vote goes to our lady peace. i'm being patriotic.

This was the worst concert in the history of music.

This is gunning for my fave ILM thread of the year. Thanx WGW! What needs to happen now is for some DJ Shadow type to sample a bit of this inconsequentiality and give us another Endtroducing...

Everclear and Kid Rock should not be here and Limp Bizkit is freakin' New Order + New York Dolls + New Pornographers compared to most of this landfill. I guess I'll go with Creed since they had more opportunities to annoy me.

What was Scapegoat Wax and Bad Ronald busy?

Ha! I had high hopes for that Bad Ronald album cuz I loved the single. But yeesh - turned out to be low boil "party" raps about being afraid of girls.

Does Joe Carducci like any of these bands?

Djoliba Athletic Club (Djoliba AC) is a Malian football club and one of the two biggest teams in Mali alongside the Stade Malien.

?

Limp Bizkit was pretty much a big nasty zit on the face of music humanity.

Fixed.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Creed and Robbie Krieger robbed.

it's funny how Woodstock '99 has almost completely made people forget that the Woodstock '94 lineup was pretty terrible too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_'94

Were there any decent artist playing woodstock 99? Looking at this list makes me think of a giant frat party that feels like the opposite of the 1969's spirit.

Aphex Twin's performance was cut short when promoters "disconnected" him mid-show for signing a fake name on a contract, which would forfeit PolyGram's rights to his performance

I left out most of the decent bands to thwart challopers

James Brown, George Clinton, Elvis Costello, The Roots, etc. to answer Moka's question

this could be a hilarious poll thread in and of itself:

Emerging Artists Stage

Big Sugar[6]
Cyclefly[25]
Indigenous[25]
John Entwistle[6]
John Oszajca[25]
Moe Loughran[31]
Muse[37]

Beyond the cheapskate charges, the people behind Woodstock 99 were accused of negligence when it came to addressing instances of sexual assault. Among the festival’s most shameful statistics—which included 44 arrests and a staggering 10,000 people receiving medical treatment—were reports that eight women had been raped, often by multiple people in the middle of mosh pits that raged as bands performed.

Two weeks after Woodstock 99, the National Organization For Women staged a protest outside of Scher’s New York office, asserting that he and fellow promoter Michael Lang intended to “deny the rapes occurred, to dismiss their importance, and to blame the victims.” Spin reported that a Woodstock employee had told NOW that “security, production staff, and promoters knew about the rapes” as they occurred during the festival and “refused to alert law enforcement because of the ubiquity of drugs on site.”

Scher denied the claims, insisting instead that the ugliness of Woodstock 99 reflected a larger moral chasm in the souls of the attendees. “I think, in some respects, the generation was irresponsible and they gave me and themselves the finger,” Scher told Spin. He wasn’t the only one who felt that Woodstock 99 amounted to a big “fuck you!” from legions of incorrigible kids. More than one writer likened Woodstock 99 to The Day Of The Locust, the 1939 Nathanael West novel about wanton sin and alienation in Los Angeles that ends with mob violence.

Others rushed to blame the bands for pushing the audience to commit random acts of depravity. “What caused this powder-keg to blow, unlike its sister festival 30 years ago?” asked the San Francisco Examiner’s Jane Ganahl, nudging heavily in the direction of “the worst perpetrator,” Limp Bizkit, who was widely pilloried in the press for playing songs like “Break Stuff” as fans were dismantling the 12-foot security fence circling the grounds and crowd-surfing on the plywood pieces. “Irresponsible: There’s no other word for Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst” Salon.com’s Jeff Stark wrote. “He’s goading the crowd, pumping them up, higher and higher. It’s beyond working them into enjoying the show. He’s encouraging the pit, working them into a frenzy.”

he was reading a pamphlet about how to interact with other humans and it said that sharing links from satirical newspaper 'the onion' was a good way to establish a humorous rapport with people (xpost)

i didn't scroll down the onion piece but i saw the Hold Steady lyric somberly quoted at the top and LOL'd

~what is past is prologue~

They got Wavy Gravy to introduce some of the bands, apparently, as a link to the original WS. Poor old geezer thought the crowd were yelling for Chuck Berry. Buck Cherry? They probably named themselves that just to confuse him.
