    why not? they are both huge bands, FF are way bigger, but I wouldn't guess they'd have a huge vinyl fan base like PJ does.

    I wouldn't say way bigger.

    FF have way more mainstream appeal, for good or bad. Pearl Jam couldn't sell out Wembley as fast as FF did, if at all.

    FF do write more pop songs. But I think PJ can.

    I'd give anything for it to be 2 years ago right now!! First Foos show, Verizon Center, DC. Such a special show to me because I was in a very dark and scary place and I can pinpoint that Foos show as the beginning of me seeing brighter things. Amazing how a show can do that. Thankful for the Foos today :D

    Yeah, I will probably avoid that festival until I hear that they can accommodate the number of tickets sold. I hear last year was a mess getting in, with people stuck in traffic for a ungodly amount of time.

    Good news is that the Foos are touring. Hopefully there is an alternative to paying crazy festival prices to see them.

    I think this year's lineup is better than last year, and I camped last year so I didn;t have traffic problems. Yes there was way too many people last year, but everyone has complained to management enough that they expanded the festival area and added another entrance, so we should be good this year. Already got my cheap presale ticket, so I am pumped!

    I'm an idiot. I totally missed that the Foos, Outkast and Jack Johnson were doing this festival.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
