DAFT PUNK main stage 09

[frozen pilgrim]

I have mixed feelings.
what do you all think?

[anti-square]

Paft Punk does sound much catchier.

[frozen pilgrim]

fucking lord.
I need to stop posting at 4 AM.
fuck.

[Boourns]

Daft Punk would be an EPIC headliner.

[BROKENDOLL]

:dumbo :dumbo :dumbo !!!

[BlackSwan]

I think one of the votes in nay pretty much kills it.

[marooko]

where is the "NO FUCKING WAY!!!" option?

[frozen pilgrim]

good to hear opinions.
especially yours, dani, obviously.
I myself am still of mixed feelings (although the probability issue has been settled)
well, may I take this opportunity to once again remind everyone that SHPONGLE 09!

[amyzzz]

I'm wondering why PF said nay.

[paulb]

Daft Punk were unreal as headliners at Lollapalooza, best set of the weekend...they would do the same at Coachella 09...

[kreutz2112]

the reason I voted nay is because I would want them in the sahara. However, that would pose the over-crowdedness problem. Bottom line, nothing will ever be greater than their 2006 performance. nothing. ever.

[BlackSwan]

I'm wondering why PF said nay.

probably because there is no chance of it happening.

[amyzzz]

Bottom line, nothing will ever be greater than their 2006 performance. nothing. ever.I agree with this. Whenever any coachella artist tries to repeat a brilliant performance, it just doesn't work (see AIR, gogol bordello, etc), although I thought Bjork in 07 was amazing and I've heard her first performance was amazing as well.

[HunterGather]

As awesome as it would be....too soon?
Nay. (that is, nay for dp at 09)

[PrettyRagdoll]

Nah... Let's let it lie for another year. THEN! They can bring it and we can all be smug having seen them already

[suprefan]

Give it a few more years. 2011 at the soonest, when they are even ready to tour again after having their album out 3 years and doing nothign about it.

[BROKENDOLL]

the reason I voted nay is because I would want them in the sahara. However, that would pose the over-crowdedness problem. Bottom line, nothing will ever be greater than their 2006 performance. nothing. ever. I voted yes, but I have to agree with you on your bottom line, kreutz2112. That was almost life-changing, huh?

[woogie846]

I still think it may be a little early to bring them back.

[orbit]

i think i already said this, but daft punk will never headline a festival like coachella. sunday that is. saturday too. they might headline friday someday, though.

[bigc1]

I could see them doing a DJ set or something, but nothing main stage worthy until a new cd comes out or something.

[stinkbutt]

Daft Punk were unreal as headliners at Lollapalooza, best set of the weekend...they would do the same at Coachella 09...

They already did it at Coachella a year earlier what would be the point of them bringing back the same old shit. Sorry to all that weren't there (especially you Randy hope SWR was worth it) but you missed the most unreal performance ever.

[Boourns]

Once the new album hits, the world will be ready for the awesomeness.

[rage patton]

If the new album hits before Coachella next year, then I could definately see them headlining a day next year.

[marooko]

If the new album hits before Coachella next year, then I could definately see them headlining a day next year.

PLEASE.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SFChrissy]

Cause he wants FSOL!!!

[HunterGather]

I don't see daft doing a major tour until their new album has time to settle and get a little known.
1 to 2 years after it is released.
Though, I could be wrong, and they will promote it traditionally as its released.

[marooko]

Cause he wants FSOL!!!

no. because i just dont like daft punk. to me, daft punk is to electronic music what britney was to pop a few years ago. yeah, they may be pretty awesome in their own right, but when you look at the big picture, they're just hard to see. meaning, they suck in comparison.

but thats just my opinion.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I am all fro Daft being a headliner AS LONG AS the set up is different. I cna understand people voting no if they didn't want to see the same up again...but I am hoping that is why we have no votes.

[captncrzy]

I don't see daft doing a major tour until their new album has time to settle and get a little known.

Though, I could be wrong, and they will promote it traditionally as its released.

I kinda think you're right. As far as Coach 09 goes, I'm thinking no. They just played, then toured and headlined other festivals. It doesn't seem that it would be as big of a deal if they did headline this next year.

[betao]

If its them and just them, then I vote yes.

If its them + every single dance punk electro artist on Ed Banger playing in the sahara for the next 2 years, then absolutely not.

[BlackSwan]

If its them and just them, then I vote yes.

If its them + every single dance punk electro artist on Ed Banger playing in the sahara for the next 2 years, then absolutely not.

agreed... i would def prefer Daft Punk over all of Ed Banger.

[kreutz2112]

it pisses me off that they are even compared. BUT, I can see where comparisons can be drawn.

[RotationSlimWang]

If the album is dropping by summer then I think it's not only feasible but would also make me incredibly happy. Sorry, but there's few headliners we can hope for at this moment that would provide as reliably awesome of a time as a new DP show.

[kreutz2112]

sadly, I agree with you.

[marooko]

you bunch a faggots take your DP's elsewhere. with all the electronic music out there i cant believe you all flock to daft fucking punk.

[RotationSlimWang]

Sorry, Marook. I don't care what anyone says--that was one of the most brilliant fucking shows I've ever seen. If you saw it and you can really claim otherwise, well, I dunno.

[marooko]

im sure the show was great. i cant say anything about the show, i just hate the fucking music. i saw limp bizkit at woodstock, not by choice, but they put on a pretty awesome show. good crowd control, lots of energy, the works. sure as hell doesnt mean i wanna sit through it again. definitely would never purchase one of their albums.

[RotationSlimWang]

... Yeah, you just disqualified yourself from this discussion completely.

[marooko]

not at all. to me, they're in the same boat. and its been fucking sunk. a long time ago.

[RotationSlimWang]

Well, you got two problems: (a) you never saw the pyramid so you can't remotely have a knowledgeable opinion on the matter, and (b) you just said you enjoyed a Limp Bizkit show so why the fuck should anyone take your opinion seriously anyway?

You see the bind you put us in.

[marooko]

see, its opinion. i dont like their music, but the show was entertaining. same with daft punk. i dont like their music, but with all the hoopla, im sure the show was entertaining as well. doesnt mean i wanna see any of them, or again. and it definitely doesnt mean i enjoy the music. its like trance music. i fucking hate trance, but i can acknowledge a well produced record.

[Cdubby]

i agree that the music on their albums gets boring FAST!!!!!!!!!! and i cant believe they are voted so high in these electronic polls. im assuming its because of their live show, which is really fucking awesome and the music is mixed up (obviously). i would be happy to watch a daft punk show in 09

[RotationSlimWang]

Yeah, there is absolutely no comparison to be drawn in trying to relate a Limp Bizkit show to the pyramid, dude. It just sounds fucking silly to do so.

[captncrzy]

you bunch a faggots take your DP's elsewhere. with all the electronic music out there i cant believe you all flock to daft fucking punk.

God Koo, what's wrong with you these days? Do you have sand in your vagina?

[marooko]

add in any other crap band that put on a good show. thats the point, not limp vs. daft. crap music with good show vs. crap music with good show.

[marooko]

God Koo, what's wrong with you these days? Do you have sand in your vagina?

nah. just no love for the daft.

anyone know who opened up in the sahara on sat? those motherfuckers should be getting some love.

[RotationSlimWang]

All I'm saying is maybe it's a little bit silly to dismiss offhand without watching or seeing a performance that was raved about by pretty much everyone who did see it as being one of the most remarkable concerts any of them ever experienced. Maybe.

Plenty of us didn't like Daft beforehand, Marooko. I sure as fuck didn't. But you really can't draw that much of a comparison between the music on their albums and the music played at that tour. Just sayin'. MAYBE the 99.9 percent approval rating exists for a reason. MAYBE.

[marooko]

not dismissing, not saying it was no good. just saying, daft punk isnt for me. if it was a dj set, maybe. most producers dont spin close to what they produce. if it was their music, no fucking way in hell.

[RotationSlimWang]

Once again, you should maybe just take my word (and the hundreds of thousands of other words) that you're underestimating the degree to which it was a total reinvention of their music.

Or you could just continue to insist on being woefully ignorant and staunchly opinionated about it. 'Cause that's mature.

[marooko]

yeah, because you're not being that way.maybe ill just follow along like yourself. that sounds good.

you got a link to a download of the show?

[RotationSlimWang]

Personally I prefer Sin's Vegoose recording the best but the easier to download is of Alive 2007 (http://isohunt.com/download/29260512/Daft+Punk.torrent)

[marooko]

thank you. dont expect too much love.

[jigsaw]

What's up marooko? Music doesn't have you feeling so free? You don't want to celebrate and dance so free?

[RotationSlimWang]

Either way you're still missing out by not seeing what was probably the most ingenious use of a lighting array I've ever witnessed, but if your feelings about Daft's albums are like mine (and it sounds like they are) I don't see any reason this shouldn't surprise you.

[marooko]

so thats all audio eh?

[RotationSlimWang]

Yup. I could find you a link for the video too but it's gonna be a DVD sized torrent.

YOU SEE!!??!! YOU FUCKING SEE!!?? this piece of shit is exactly why i fucking hate daft punk.

[RotationSlimWang]

We're all well aware that they're thieves, Mark. Doesn't change the fact--coolest fucking show I've ever seen. Conceptual concert lighting progression.

[marooko]

Yup. I could find you a link for the video too but it's gonna be a DVD sized torrent.

my work PC has about 200 free gigs right now.

[RotationSlimWang]

YOU SEE!!??!! YOU FUCKING SEE!!?? this piece of shit is exactly why i fucking hate daft punk.

Yes, I know, and it's exactly why I hated them too. Now stop getting riled up over how much their albums sucked since we've already stipulated that One More Time is pretty much the cheesiest thing ever.

But if you make it through the 2007 version, you'll hear how they turn even that into some headbanging shit.

[jigsaw]

I heard that Celine Dion's magical Vegas show was magnificent!

[RotationSlimWang]

Hear, Marook: http://www.mininova.org/tor/1487664

[marooko]

thanks

[BlackSwan]

i saw limp bizkit at woodstock, not by choice, but they put on a pretty awesome show. good crowd control,

all other sillyness aside there is def something amusing about Woodstock and good crowd control in the same sentence.

[chairmenmeow47]

2006 was awesome and it can't be topped. especially on the mainstage. electronic music is much better in the tent than on a stage. it was a once in a lifetime moment and if you weren't there, you missed out. i don't like the idea of repeat headliners in general, but this was such a great performance and such a unique opportunity, i don't think it will be possible to recreate the energy of that crowd again. i knew people who traveled from new york JUST for this performance thinking it would be their only north american show. it just can't be done again.

[RotationSlimWang]

Lots of things can't be recreated. That doesn't mean they're not still a better alternative.

And it was plenty magical on the equivalent of a main stage at Vegoose, thank you very much.

[chairmenmeow47]

And it was plenty magical on the equivalent of a main stage at Vegoose, thank you very much.

your mom was awesome on the main stage at the party in my pants too, thank you very much :p

[RotationSlimWang]

That's cause my mom's a fantastic piece of ass who doesn't say no to anything and has tits the size of small children's heads.

[boarderwoozel3]

Alive 2007 is one of, if not the best live albums I've ever heard. Fucking epic.

[marooko]

That's cause my mom's a fantastic piece of ass who doesn't say no to anything and has tits the size of small children's heads.

PICS PLZ.

[bluemamba]

I sure Daft Punk takes the Kraftwerk slot in 09. That would be sick. Then Gorrilaz can follow them or somebody.

[RotationSlimWang]

Guys, Coachella in 06 was the only festival they weren't the headliner for the entire day. There's no way they come back and don't close the day on the main, and with good fucking reason. So let's just stifle all that dumb shit.

[bluemamba]

Dont they have to get upgraded from the tent to the main stage?? baby steps no??

[rage patton]

I agree with pretty much everything Randy has said the last two pages.

P.S. Randy, where can I find Sins Vegoose recording?

[RotationSlimWang]

Dont they have to get upgraded from the tent to the main stage?? baby steps no??

That was the first show. Then they headlined a slew of festivals including Lolla. Plus, you know, they kinda have a reputation now as being the most innovative concert in the last however many years, so no, there's no question.

I agree with pretty much everything Randy has said the last two pages.

P.S. Randy, where can I find Sins Vegoose recording?

I would PM him. It's either on Dime or Traders Den.

[bluemamba]

That makes sense. I want them to have a blinding light show. were not in russia so we should be ok.

[rage patton]

I would PM him. It's either on Dime or Traders Den.

Thanks.

[Cdubby]

i enjoy the vegoose recording much more than alive, but that could be because i was at the vegoose show

[BlackSwan]

Daft Punk at the Greek was magical... Lolla was ok.

[betao]

ok I want to post my 2 cents. Now let it be known that I have not seen DP live, but I have seen the coachella full video plenty - and listen to the bootleg once in a while.

There is a clear difference between Daft Punk and Daft Punk Live. Their studio music isn't terrible, but there is nothing revolutionary about it. It's all just too repetitive (especially Human After All). It's just too cheesy. There's way better music out there, alot of it by artists who aren't as well known as DP.

But DP isn't known for their sub-par albums nowadays - they're known for their live show, which not only is visually stunning, but mixed very creatively. I would have loved to have seen them on the Alive tour, but the fuckers only came to NYC for a show, and I couldnt afford the trip.

Now I'd like to draw a comparison here... The Chemical Brothers VS Daft Punk. I have seen the Chems once, and as i've said, i've seen countless videos of DP. I think that visually and musically, the Chems are on a higher level than DP. Now don't get me wrong, that pyrmaid is a fucking genuine idea, but I just don't think it compares to the visuals that Ed and Tom bring to a show. It's always something different, and its just so freaking cool. Plus, the music (both studio and mixed live) is just leagues better than DP. That last statement is almost a fact.

If by some work of demonic nature the chems and daft ever conflicted on schedule, I would choose Daft cuz i've never seen them. But I could see myself easily leaving early for The Chems.

But it just really astonishes me how many people vote Daft as the greatest EDM act ever (for reference, just see the thread for it). Prodigy, Underworld, Orbital, Aphex Twin, The Chems, Moby, Fatboy Slim have all made more original music than DP ever did. That handful of shows that Daft has done in the past couple of years is not enough to qualify them as the best ever.

Now when/if DP does coachella again, will they headline? Maybe. But what I think is even more likely is that they will co-headline with someone (someone like Beck). And DP will play last, because they are a "closing" act that really nothing should come after - it just wouldnt make sense.

sorry for the rant, but thats all my opinion.

[BlackSwan]

the worst thing is that when it comes down to it Daft Punk haven't done much to legitimize electronic music in the mainstream, they've just made it seem like a cheap trend that relies on a flashly live show to make up for creative short comings.

[RotationSlimWang]

Sorry, but electronic music lives and dies on its live show. If you can't make the fucking crowd move what do your albums matter?

[BlackSwan]

electronic dance music... to an extent. you're omitting the fact that most EDM is also played/mixed by DJs so the music can't only rely on the live show that goes with it when performed by the artist.

[rage patton]

I listen to Discovery all the time.

[RotationSlimWang]

Wait a fucking minute, I'm sorry, when did this turn into the "best EDM artist ever" or whatever poll? This is a thread about Daft coming back to play LIVE. I really don't see why the quality of their albums has any impact on this discussion.

[vinylmartyr]

If they are done with there album they should play next year.

[RotationSlimWang]

Fucking A. I don't even see how there can be such contention over the notion given the crop of headliner choices we have to pull from. Non-repeat headliners are few and far between, and among repeat acts, well, sorry everybody but anyone that saw that show ought to be able to agree the next incarnation of whatever they want to do in the arena of concerts ought to debuting on the main at Coach.

Harumph!

[rage patton]

Just a thought... what if their next stage set up is a huge let down after the pyramid? They were genius to think of the pyramid... genius. But what are they going to do next? If they do another shape like a cube or something, that would be sort of lame.

[marooko]

...randy, how 'bout trying to follow your own argument.

[RotationSlimWang]

... what the fuck are you talking about? I was responding to the flood of dorks coming in to argue about how Daft's albums weren't that great in both instances. My argument's logic stayed completely consistent. YOU fuckers wouldn't stay on the point.

questionable at best.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

so was Dani serious when she voted no?

[PrettyRagdoll]

Yup. I could find you a link for the video too but it's gonna be a DVD sized torrent.

Woah, you have a link to a video from one of their performances? Is it the complete show? I saw them at Vegoose and it was like you said... fucking brilliant. [Ok you didn't say fucking brilliant but still].

Care to share?

[marooko]

Hear, Marook: http://www.mininova.org/tor/1487664

i tried. i just didnt get the daft fever. it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, but it definitely isnt staying on my media player. and im not listening to it again.

there wasnt much to the mixing, seemed like it was cut many times. and that works well, but just not for every mix. not saying thats what happened, but thats what it sounded like. it was waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too electro for me. i like electro, just not that much. also, being a househead, there was just no soul at all. i mean, i love me some techno, there isnt much to soul in tech, but theres just a feeling there. i didnt get anything from this recording.

i still stand by my complete dislike of daft punk. please GV, keep them away from Coachella next year. especially the main stage.

basically i felt like it was electro for the masses. i wont even watch the video, i cant imagine what it adds to the music that would change my mind.

[summerkid]

not this year maybe in 2010.

[SFChrissy]

Yup. I could find you a link for the video too but it's gonna be a DVD sized torrent.
could someone please download and burn this for me...I had it and somebody jacked it from my purse at a party...

Pretty Please!!!

marokoo, i will partially stand by your side on this one. I say partially because I do enjoy daft punk a little.

but I do agree that there is nothing special about the music. i'd much rather have prodigy, chemical brothers, groove armada, underworld, or moby next year instead of DP.

thats the thing, there isnt anything special about it. its electro for the masses. throw britney vocals over that shit and you got a new pop album.


edit: my girlfriend said the same exact thing. "its not horrible, but there isnt anything special about it."

You've lost your mind, haven't you, Marooko?

no, i just dont like garbage ass electro.

[Memorial_07]

they could probably pull a Tiesto.
play after the real headliner

[bluemamba]

no, i just dont like garbage ass electro.

You seriously have lost your little mind. Daft Punk is garbage ass electro?? Start a thread with that as your title so we can all bash you all day. You fail at life!

im also REALLY hoping you did that on purpose.

The "ohh look out" thing only really works if you do it in person. just to let you know.

[marooko]

you like daft punk, your argument is invalid.

[BlackSwan]

bluemamba if you are not going to make a case for why Daft Punk isn't bubble gum fluff then just shut up.

[marooko]

whats your stance?

[BlackSwan]

half and half... they're fun live, but are really nothing special creatively... would i go see them live and have a blast?.. of course... do i listen to them often?... not even close, and there are a huge list of electronic artists I'd rather see at Coachella than them again.

[marooko]

thats pretty much how i feel, except i just dont like them. im sure they put on a great show, its all i hear about, i just dont care to see it. i dont like the music, and unless theres free blow jobs from hot ass chicks, ill stay home.

you should look into that next time they tour... there might be.... you might have to pretend you like Daft Punk though.

[Bud Luster]

what a fucking tired argument you all have going. Hasnt this been hashed out about a million fucking times on this board already? There is also no way the DP will play Coachella in 09.

[betao]

half and half... they're fun live, but are really nothing special creatively... would i go see them live and have a blast?.. of course... do i listen to them often?... not even close, and there are a huge list of electronic artists I'd rather see at Coachella than them again.

agreed here for the most part.

for people who think "how can you not like daft punk?!" like a majority of people on this board, i'd love to know how much electronic music you all listen to, other than the really big names like chemical brothers/prodigy/underworld (who's music is about 50X more creative than daft).

the only thing daft punk gets points for is their live show which is quite dazzling. but if it wasnt for the pyramid, it'd only be subpar.

you guys should be praising the technicians who designed the pyramid more than you do DP.

[Sushov23]

NO MORE DAFT PUNK. Until 2010 or something, give it a rest.

[zenidogx]

daft punk could never top the perfection of 06.

[Boourns]

Even if Daft Punk did exactly the same show with the same mix as 2006, it would still be better than 90% of what else is out there.

[RotationSlimWang]

I really don't wanna get sucked back into this whirlwind, but for the record: as much as my admiration of them is probably more than 50 percent attributable to not just the pyramid/light show itself necessarily, but rather the unbelievable cohesion of the visual and aural aspects...

Even without it, that set is still fucking awesome. Even without the lights, I think it must fall quite a bit into a category of "you have to actually see them" because the sound quality and the way the builds and transitions were structured was just incredibly well-planned and orchestrated.

Of course, that's cause it was entirely pre-recorded. But from a perfectionist's perspective I understand why they did it and I think it pays off. Especially for an electro/house set, it's a fucking remarkable string of songs that's truly affecting.

[marooko]

I agree that it is mixed very well and creatively. I listen to the coachella bootleg once in a while. and the visuals are indeed dazzling. I would go see them if I had the chance. I don't hate them like marokoo does.

i'm just saying that DP wouldn't be my first pick as a sahara or mainstage headliner.

i dont hate daft punk. i may say i do, but thats just to bug people. what i hate is the idea that they're the be all end all of electronic music. they dont even come close. yeah, i cant stand their music, but for "one more time" to be such a hit, they gotta be doing something right. and in my opinion its making electronic music for the mases. doesnt make it amazingly good from an artistic standpoint, just production.

its like lil' waynes new album, album/rapper of the year or whatever. you think people are gonna be blasting that shit next year? no fucking way. because really, it isnt good. its just produced well for the masses.

[Boourns]

ok now this just proves you know nothing about electronic music.

No, it proves I know that Daft Punk is hella good times.

You're just mad because the Future Sound of London don't know enough about electronic music to actually fucking PERFORM.

[Boourns]

No. This is just wrong.

No, it's just right.

[RotationSlimWang]

Sigh. Way to give up the reasonable high ground, Boourns.

Nigga doesn't wanna like Daft, fuck it, let the nigga not like Daft. I haven't seen as many EDM shows as plenty of people on this board--although frankly I'm not convinced of your refined, discerning taste, Marooko--but I've seen a few really fucking awesome sets and a lot of just alright or worse sets.

All I know for sure is this: the pyramid fucking destroyed Underworld. And any show that can so easily, without even a moment of doubt supplant those boys... well, it ain't nothin' to fuck with.

[BlackSwan]

Daft Punk's live show is still awesome, no matter how much ya argue about it.

[marooko]

No, it proves I know that Daft Punk is hella good times.

You're just mad because the Future Sound of London don't know enough about electronic music to actually fucking PERFORM.

ok, im gonna assume you're just messing with me now. mainly because FSOL was a major driving force in the electronic music world in the early 90's. for you to say something so silly either backs up my first response, that you dont know anything, or that you're just messing with me. read anythinig about them and you'll find out how big of a force they were and are.

[Boourns]

Yeah, their set at Coachella 2004 was epic.

[marooko]

did they play? i heard they didnt show. i was totally out of the loop that year.

[betao]

they didnt show.

[idrive1life]

nay

[Boourns]

Yeah, they didn't show because they fail.

[Boourns]

So all you Daft Punk haters, name the main stage headliners you want instead of Daft Punk.

This will be good.

NIN
The Flaming Lips doing a UFO show (or not - still be just as cool).
The Cure
Radiohead
Massive Attack (though they aren't big enough, i'd rather have them than DP)
My Bloody Valentine

i'd take any of them over DP. Honestly, i'd rather have the chemical brothers or underworld headline the mainstage instead of daft (even though we all know that'll never happen).

i personally dont think daft punk would headline - they would no doubt be 2nd billed, and they would probably close out the mainstage (like tiesto 07, but getting a longer set time me thinks)

I really enjoy Aphex's 08 bootleg performance and Underworld's "everything everything" more than the DP coachella set.

NIN - if the first major NIN show in at least 5 years couldn't sell out Coachella in 2005, would the first major NIN show in weeks/months sell out Coachella in 2009?
The Flaming Lips - not a headliner for a festival this big
The Cure - live show isn't as interesting as Daft Punk's but they do have a new album coming out. could happen.
Radiohead - an exclusive American performance would be epic but unlikely
Massive Attack - incredible in 2006 but if not a headliner then, not a headliner now
My Bloody Valentine - not a headliner but unset on main or closing the outdoor theater against a controversial headliner of the Jack Johnson variety would be perfect

Daft Punk would definitely headline the next time they perform. The oversized tent in 2006 wasn't nearly big enough to contain the crowd and there has been an extraordinary amount of positive buzz and hype from everyone sane since that first show. I think 2010 is more likely, though.

you didn't ask for me to predict as headliners - you just asked who i'd rather see as a headliner.

out of all of those choices, the only one i think is a legit possibility is The Flaming Lips.

[Boourns]

I want to see Asobi Seksu headline.

The Flaming Lips are overdue for an LA-area appearance, now that I think of it.

this is why they should be there. as AA or FSOL.

I would reealllllllllly like to see Amorphous Androgynous. That would be fucking dope. BUT, i gotta see FSOL first.

MBV wouldn't close the outdoor theatre. They would probably be put on during sunlight on the main stage.

[indietron]

MBV wouldn't close the outdoor theatre. They would probably be put on during sunlight on the main stage.

Yeah I would say they'd go on at around 2-3ish and play the typical 50 minutes... I mean they aren't THAT popular. ;)

[rage patton]

The Flaming Lips could definately headline Coachella, especially with their UFO show. Once you see it, you would not doubt it. I am all for The Flaming Lips headlining a day next year.

[frozen pilgrim]

I think the flaming lips COULD headline a day, but I think the ufo show might be even more fun headlining the outdoor, just so that there isn't thirty feet between the stage and the front of the audience. also, they could totally purpose-build the stage for the flaming lips set.
yeah... them headlining the outdoor sunday at like 9 would be pretty decent, I think

[psychic friend]

i voted nay because I thought it said paft punk. View Poll Results: paft punk on the main stage in 2009?

I whole heartedly agree. UFO's at the zoo is one of the best live album/dvd ever. On the same level as the who at isle of wight 1970, in my opinion.

[sbessiso]

I was there...but I fucking missed Daft Punk....that is one of my life FAILS.

Holy shit dude, even I was there!

But I understand, I missed depeche mode, and I have to live with that choice for the rest of my life, god I wish I could turn back time like Cher

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Holy shit dude, even I was there!

But I understand, I missed depeche mode, and I have to live with that choice for the rest of my life, god I wish I could turn back time like Cher

2006 is my worst Coachella year ever....ever...Leaving before Daft Punk was a terrible choice..deciding to watch Madonna was a terrible choice..leaving half way through Depeche Mode's set to find my then Fiancee and Sister was crap too...out of the 8 Coachellas I have been to, 2006 is was the worst experience for me. Due to having a large crew with us.

[sbessiso]

I just wish I couldve been closer for Madonna but that wouldve meant leaving or maybe even skipping YeahYeahYeah's and that wasnt gunna happen. I'm soo jealous of all your Chellas! 06 was my first, it was my 18th birthday present to myself.

I'm not gunna rub the daft punk experience in your face, but man, I was on zero drugs and that pyramid fucked me up. I knew I was experiencing something historic, youve seen daft punk since then though, right?

i will forever and ever and ever HATE myself for missing depeche mode, marco polo. I was a bastard and didnt do any research, I didnt even discover them until last year,

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

The only chella I missed was 1999. Too young and I didn't even know it existed. Depeche Mode made an amazing entrance for sure. One of the best I ever saw. But we really should've skipped Madonna. We got a close enough spot but it just wasn't worth it. And we missed the 1st few songs of Massive Attack. Plus, the shitty spot for Massive and Tool.

[sbessiso]

Ive seen some of the pictures fans took of the madonna set, people that were right in front, all the air escaped my breath man, to have her THAT close to you. oh man, i mightve fainted

fuck tool, 06 was all about scissor sisters

and I NEED to see depeche mode before I die (or before they die, really)

Maybe if she played more then 6 songs it would have made it worth it. Or if she played more stuff off of Music and Ray Of Light...and Bedtime Stories...it was the fucking Sahara, you should turn into a dance party not a "Oh hey its Madonna" party. I expected to be wowed and was just disappointed.

[Memorial_07]

If Daft Punk plays the main stage, would they be considered the headliners?

[bluemamba]

I doubt. Maybe open for the headliners. I say they open for Outkast or The White Stripes.

[Memorial_07]

It's already been said that dance acts don't transition well into the headliners.
I say put them after the headliner on the main stage.

Now that's a fucking dance party

[boarderwoozel3]

I was referring to the night he played and thereafter owned the Polo Field.
If Daft Punk plays the main stage, would they be considered the headliners?
HELL YES! With the production their set would command, no one would have time to set up afterwards, they'd have to close the Coachella Stage.

You're silly. And horribly wrong.

Unless they were the headliners or went on after the headliners.

[bluemamba]

probably not but id be cool with it. Plus that would get all the douche people out that were just there to see Daft Punk and the Main Stage would be left with just the fans who were there to see the headliner.

[bluemamba]

I just may die from happiness if I got TWS & Bowie

I'll take Daft any time DJ set, Pyramid, Polyhedron I could give a fuck. I've seen everybody FSOL, Aphex(back in the day), Orb, Chems and DP are the masters, no one can even compare.

What does FSOL do live? Are there many ambient nature sounds like on their albums?

Yeah thars true.
From what I've heard DP fans are total pricks.
But same goes for RATM and I love them.

The only problem with Daft, is people will be wanting to dance like mad. I don't know how they expect to in a crowded space like that

[boarderwoozel3]

If Daft Punk were to play the Sahara it would be sardine city!

Putting DP on after a big rock act would work really well. All the rocker folk who weren't into Daft would clear out, thus making space to DANCE SO FAST!

[thedevious]

Yeah thars true.
From what I've heard DP fans are total pricks.
But same goes for RATM and I love them.

You love RATM or DP, or both? And this is the very first I've heard that we are supposed to be pricks. DP fans that is, absolutely hell no not a RATM fan here.

The 3 times I saw Daft Punk the crowds were all friendly, considerate, and consummate dancers.

[boarderwoozel3]

Any crowd is going to have pricks but the type may vary with the kind of music. The crowd usually reflects the band pretty well.

But we all know the RATM fans are just pricks.

But in relation to DP's crowd: for some acts @ Coachella, there has been known to have its handful of assholes in the crowd and I think DP would attract its fair share. Though i've never seen Daft Punk so I don't know.

Get Daft in 09!

I have to say, children of bodom had the worst fan base of anything I've ever seen
actually, maybe it was a tie between that and warped tour 2004

[Memorial_07]

shit, hatebreed fans walk all over them.
Those fans make RATM fans look like MCR fans

[rage patton]

If Daft Punk play Coachella again, they will headline.

If Daft Punk play Coachella again, they will headline.

that all depends on the relevancy of the artist as well as other artist availability.

edit: if that sounded like an ass thing to say, its because i'm a wee bit drunk right now, so dont hold it against me Josh. You know I love you.

[rage patton]

I just think considering how much bigger Daft Punk have gotten since 2006, that there is no way they would be second billed again.

And don't worry. You didn't sound like an ass. Speaking of which, take your ass over the OFFICIAL Im drunk thread... or whatever its called. I love you too.

[Mugwog]

All that's been really said overall is either people who only know daft punk for album sets, and people who have seen daft punk live or have had a taste of it. Many of you who believe DP is meh and never really gave them a chance, never did experience the live show, download the DVD and watch it, examine the light show, the beats of the music and the general vibe of the crowd. It should also be noted that they pretty much just took their library of samples from their three major releases and mashed them up, properly producing and mixing on the spot.

Each performance (of 3) I saw was slightly different, they brought back more rolling and scratching to the vegoose set, and pumped some parts way harder in comparison to the Alive cd released.

It should also be noted to anyone reading this - What was seen in 06 and toured for the rest of 07, it is highly unlikely to come back and they would want to top this show. As much as haters want to hate on DP, the show they presented is its own version of The Wall (Pink Floyd performed it only 3 times in the USA); and those lucky enough to have seen it should be happy, those who didn't, keep thinking daft punk isn't that hot, that way I can walk straight to the front of the pit when they play next time!

for the record they had a set track list every time and what they played only changed 3 times. (maybe 4, if they cahnged it in australia but i was never able to find a boot of any of those shows)

they had the original one for the first batch of touring. then they changed it at the start of the first batch of added european dates. and then they extended it starting at vegoose. every show has the same actual run time (except for all shows after vegoose. which are the same running time as eachother but obviously longer than those on the first and 2nd batch of touring)

and they already said that they retired the pyramid. so yes. we know next time will be different.
