    they mention the tickets that go on sale as being 2 day passes, i wonder if they will sell singles as well, i'm going to wait and see what other shows they play before shelling out for a 2 day pass right now
    looking for 2 to Columbia...

    I'm with you. If you buy early you only save $10...not worth it IMO.

    Without the Smashing Pumpkins the line-up does nothing for me, but if they add a couple decent bands I'll likely go just to support local festivals.

    SP will be at Lollapalooza. My friend worked with Billy Corgan on various web things and heard about it this morning from the SP camp.

    I was thinking the same thing. Althought the Killers have a couple alright tunes. I haven't seen them live. I do love the Pumpkins but they suck live.

    Agreed - I have the Killers first album and I still enjoy a few songs on it....I havent seen them live (in person) BUT I have seen them live on awards shows and I thought they were TERRIBLE

    I like the Pumpkins (at least Gish and Siamese Dream - the rest of thier albums did nothing for me)...but I have seen them live and it was the one of the WORST shows I have ever seen (next to Soundgarden and STP - YUCK)

    ....if they give me 1 or 2 more good bands for Saturday I am there - I would LOVE to see Bjork live (I have heard she puts on an amazing show) and although I have seen Interpol live 3 times I would never pass up a chance to see them again

    ....hopefully they dont have curfew issues like they did last year - the Flaming Lips set was sooooooo short, so PISSED

    I saw them at the Concert Hall in Toronto on their Core tour....it was before they had really blown up. Weiland was a total asshole - kept trying to fight members of the audience. Total crap

    ....however, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones opened and they were amazing - so at least the night wasnt a total loss

    Are the SP really that bad live? I saw them in 94' and thought it was awesome, but then again it was one of my first concerts.

    I agree about Soundgarden. I saw them in 95' or 96' and I wasn't impressed (then again they had a tough act to follow - being that NIN opened for them).

    I know this doesn't really have anything to do with live as much as it does STP

    I've heard that Weiland was in rehab not too long ago, and is planning to get the band together again (I'm not talking about the new band with some STP members, I mean another album under STP). Can anyone confirm this, or did I just hear a bad rumor?

    As of SP, I've only heard Mellon Choly, and I really liked it; but I heard their latest CD is no good. I'd still go to see them live if it was closer to where I lived, though.

    Scott Weiland and rehab, two words that belong together like peanut butter and jelly. About STP he was quoted a couple months ago saying "every shelf needs two bookends", whatever that means I dunno maybe he was alluding to the fact that maybe he/they would put out one more album, but with the fact that there is Army of Anyone, the mediocre Velvet Revolver, and the long procrastinated Scott Weiland second solo album coming out in the fall makes the chance of STP very unlikely, I would say give it another 5 years.

    About the flaming lips live set at the Vfest in toronto.... lets just say I saw them a week before in Syracuse and they kicked ass. Ween blew my nuts and put on a dull and uninspired set. All pumped after the flaming lips set I saw day one of the v fest for the flaming lips, 60 fucking american dollars down the drain for 5 fucking songs (MUSE was like this \m/ too). ARGH just the thought of it grinds my shit, but the fact that I saw them a week before hand calms me down. Sorry for the ramble.
