The Killers Headling = Awesome

[vercetti0014]

This is the Main reason why i bought my tickets! this is so awesome! how long do the headliners usually play for?

[OnlyNonStranger]

Long enough that if I were to sit there and watch the Killers for the entire set, I would most likely want to kill myself and probably several others around me.

..and there is the useful information.

The Killers make me want to use my tickets for kindling too.

I have seen headliners play for 60 minutes... And I have seen super-headliners (like Roger Waters) play for hours...

My guess is that the Killers will be closer to the 60-minute mark.

Great band, but pretty disapointed that GV has given them "Coachella Headliner" status... Saturday better shape-up soon or it's fixing to be a disapointing day in the smack-dab middle of the festival.

[HEADSTRUCK]

killers will get 90 min

[Rockstarboy37]

you spelled beheading wrong.

[Foucault]

Only if Elder Flowers does a beer bong on stage will I consider the show worth seeing.

[comlag]

???
The killers are one of the worst bands out there i hope this is a joke

Except it's not. There is a reason they are headlining- they're popular and actually pretty good.

/commence freaking out

Fixed that for ya

[Memorial_07]

killers will hopefully get a minute or 2

[NightGoat]

Hopefully within the second minute one of them will get tackled by Henry Rollins, but I think that's just me wishing everyone's set ends with Henry Rollins tackling someone. This includes Henry Rollin's set

[jasonV]

their first album was awesome... then they had some major bed shitting since then... Headlineing?.... lame

[akilleeez]

Affirmative. Rollins enters stage, and walks right up to Flowers's face and uppercuts that little b!tch's head clean off--out pours flower pedals to the sound of a winning slot-machine...and Henry's one-liner before he continues into his spoken-word set is, "It was just his time!"

[zenidogx]

the Killers will play until every one in the audience realizes that something better is going on in the Sahara. so, maybe twenty minutes or so- depending on when the Chemical Brothers go on.

would he have a different one liner for each person he tackled during the festival? And what would he say after he tackles himself?

These are important questions that must be answered!

[Monklish]

What's a "headling?"

[zenidogx]

What's a "headling?"

Monklish should know what headling is. the real question is: does headling have an age limit?

[braundiggity]

They've got eight or so great songs between three albums. Those 8 are enough for me to be psyched, though.

And yeah, 90 minutes. Anything more or less would surprise me, especially with a seemingly much lesser second line (on an off year, Morrissey or MBV could headline, but there's no way Amy Winehouse or Thievery Corp could).

Saharalol

EDIT: I hate the sahara.

I too would enjoy every set of the weekend ending with a vicious tackle by Henry Rollins.

[Aurgasm]

killers aren't going to headline.

i stand by this assertion

[NightGoat]

Maybe for his set Greg Ginn will come out and try to tackle him, but Rollins will fake him out and tackle him instead.

As I said in another thread, if he tackles Amy Winehouse it'll be a moment that makes shitty VH1 lists for decades to come.

[hobomilitia]

hopefully the killers don't end up as the headliner.
and if they do, hopefully some fortunate event will abruptly end their performance...like brandon flowers realizing he can't sing.

[punkydory]

I went to a Festival last summer in Europe and The Killers were headlining one of the nights. After Justice, we were just gonna head back and not see The Killers, but we walked by the main stage as they were starting. Not gonna lie.....it was really enjoyable. We ended up staying for their whole set (about 70mins) Come on....Mr. Brightside???? You can't not sing along to that.

[PassiveTheory]

There's a circle of hell reserved for people like you.

[Memorial_07]

however, if he tackled McCartney it'd result in death

[Drewski27]

yeah. the killers are headlining, thats cool . . . . . if you have no taste in music.

[Memorial_07]

so a handful of people have no taste in music


that's already too much

[Drewski27]

this thread is too fucking much.

[NightGoat]

however, if he tackled McCartney it'd result in death

I think Henry Rollins is more than capable of taking on thousands of soccer moms and middle aged fanny-pack wearing fathers.

[PassiveTheory]

I think he meant that Rollins would kill McCartney.

[Memorial_07]

completely right Passive.

[NightGoat]

Oh, imagined that the fans would tear him to shreds. I'm putting too much thought into this. There isn't an appropriate humorous smiley face icon that indicates that I'm retarded for misunderstanding that, so I'll just say I'm retarded for misunderstanding that.

[Memorial_07]

I looked at your post about taking on soccer moms and middle aged people and said what the fuck?

at least you cleared that up

[NightGoat]

I have the tendency to kind of ramble when I talk to people on the net

[thagorillaz]

so a handful of people don't share my taste in music that's already too much

fixed.
i mean come on guys. Relax. no one is going to make you see them, and i guarantee that you would like them a lot more if they weren't popular, so ease off on the hate.
i bet it will be a fun show, but i'm not dying to see it.
-tim

[Memorial_07]

come on really?

why do you say "MY" music


I don't like them so what?
I'm not telling everyone "Listen to _________ because I like them!"

[IfeelINFINITE]

I think the Killers playing is awesome, mainly because people will flock to the main stage, leaving great bands less crowded in the tents. AWESOME!

[Memorial_07]

if great bands are playing at the same time.

If they all play before the killers do, then I foresee a major traffic jam while sitting having to hear the killers

[Rockstarboy37]

I'll see everybody in the sahara tent for MSTRKRFT.

[sonnyboy11]

so a handful of people have no taste in music


that's already too much

Usually, people telling me about my 'taste in music' are a buncha pretentious farks with shiatty taste in music.

[Memorial_07]

is that what your saying I am?

[sonnyboy11]

is that what your saying I am?

No. In fact I think I like you. I guess I just do not understand the 'hate' for the Killers. Even on my worst day I rarely hate on a band or anything for that matter. Hate requires way too much energy.

[Rockstarboy37]

more like the BuzzKillers. I know it's lame but i'll go with it.

[DFrank]

I'll see everybody in the sahara tent for MSTRKRFT.

Yes seriously...who cares if The Killers are headlining? We're going to get some adds for the Sahara. If anything, i wouldnt mind hanging out in the beer garden and watching them from there.

[cr8vbeats]

i see

[Dale Gribble]

PER SE?

[Memorial_07]

No. In fact I think I like you. I guess I just do not understand the 'hate' for the Killers. Even on my worst day I rarely hate on a band or anything for that matter. Hate requires way too much energy.

I'm not sure if I hate them because I really do like the song All These Things I've Done, I just really resent the fact that they were given a headlining slot at such a prestigious festival like Coachella and that is just enough to make me dislike them strongly

[cacahead01]

killers will hopefully get a minute or 2

hahaha

[Rockstarboy37]

I just hate the fact that I'll be paying like 80+ bucks to see all these great bands on saturday but it's gonna have to end with The Killers and Amy Winehouse(Okay she's talented. I get it. I'm just not a fan). If it was free I wouldn't care but, it's not. So I'm going to enjoy myself in the sahara tent seeing a DJ I saw two years ago during the day time.

If it ended with bowie I'd happily pay 50 dollars extra. Just saying.

Let it go. There are plenty of good bands on Sat. No need to focus on the headliners anyway. For my part, I am really looking forward to seeing them. But you don't have to be of that mindset and I get it.

[Memorial_07]

Saturday is a great day for me because there is quite a few bands I want to see and I know headliners aren't everything it is just upsetting. A waste of a good spot.

[sonnyboy11]

Ahh, not so much. I mean, look at it like this- it's gonna be a fun day. GV does a bang up job producing the whole thing. There's no pressure for you to be anywhere at any one time and you could just kick it at Sahara and have a better time than 99.99% of the planet.

Tell ya what tho. If you do end up at the Killers, you can still make it a good time. I'd have to say about the only show I've ever seen that I could not turn into a 'good time' was Gene Love Jezebel. They were so awful. But rather than biatching about it I got over it and had fun anyway. Your first beer is on me!

[u2diehard]

Exactly what I think. Killers are cool and all, but exactly how many people can they bring on their own.

20 thousand ?

I dunno, GV better get someone else to close the show.

[sonnyboy11]

Why should they? JJ closed a night last time out and he is nowhere near the draw as the Killers.

[xxorcoxx]

The Killers = Nap time

[sbessiso]

They're going to be amazing

[Memorial_07]

I'm surprised you are so psyched salah.



then again you prefer Scissor Sisters over Tool

[iloveorangejuice]

I love the Killers. I can't wait.

[Jay_Fiedler]

I saw The Killers a few years ago at Vegoose and last year in Vegas. They were great both times, played a good amount of songs from Hot Fuss. Definitely looking forward to their set.

[BaronBedros]

Why should they? JJ closed a night last time out and he is nowhere near the draw as the Killers.

Thats why Friday was the least populated day last year...which was actually great for roaming around spaced out of my mind. Plus I think(as I was nowhere near the main stage) that JJ's performance was pretty light for a headliner.

I think and hope they add another headliner, not cuz I dislike the Killers but, I dont see them as worthy closers for our beloved festival.

[Shuwstah]

Any band that makes a song as horrible as "Human" should be permanently banned from Coachella.

[Trail of Dead]

henry rollins should tackle flava flag then smash his clock

friday was great, reminded me of the days of 2002!

horrible song is correct...but I equally despise "spaceman" it goes no where and the singing is pretty aweful.


henry rollins should tackle flava flag then smash his clock


nothing to do with your post but I was hoping trail of dead would be at coachella...I want to see them at echoplex.

[Geno_guerrero]

The Killers are my JJ this year, I will skip them, and if no one else good is playing I say party at the campgrounds...

[phillthepill]

Haha You will probably be haunted by that song throughout your time at coachella. The sahara will definitely mix that song up quite a bit
