Shady Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Some Limp Bizkit is good. Most Korn is. Creed, meh. Rage has some good stuff too. Quote

America! I'm sure someone will try to profit from Woodstock 2019. This is the very first thing you have posted that I agree with you 100% These bands have no right thinking they have anything close to the talent that was at the original Woodstock Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”― Winston S. Churchill There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. –Robert Heinlein

But I was certainly too young to attend Woodstock 69. Did you attend Woodstock Jaycee? I would love to hear the experiences of anyone who did.

On Guard for Thee Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 An old friend and one of my first instructors flew Janis Joplin into and back out from her gig at Woodstock. He was kind of a red neck guy, but he was thrilled with his brief time with her. Quote

Love Janis though. Joni wasn't even at Woodstock.

Hal 9000 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 I can't even take you seriously anymore. Ok, if you say she was at Woodstock, then fine. It seems weird to sing a past tense song describing Woodstock...at Woodstock.

drummindiver Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 No good bands? Tragically hip, Dave Mathews, George Clinton, Los Lobos, Counting Crows, Chemical Brothers, Metallica (before they sucked) Tage Against the Machine, Mike Ness, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson...literally, something for everyone. The reason it sucked is because it was incredibly hot, ppl were not allowed to bring anything I , and were charged outrageous prices for everything, including water. This led to violence. There were reported rapea. Much like the first Woodstock. Quote
WIP Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 No good bands? Tragically hip, Dave Mathews, George Clinton, Los Lobos, Counting Crows, Chemical Brothers, Metallica (before they sucked) Tage Against the Machine, Mike Ness, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson...literally, something for everyone. The reason it sucked is because it was incredibly hot, ppl were not allowed to bring anything I , and were charged outrageous prices for everything, including water. This led to violence. There were reported rapea. Much like the first Woodstock. I did a quick check to refresh my memory, and there were 44 reported rapes and sexual assaults (likely many more going unreported) and only one subject to criminal charges. Most of the bands were garbage...and highly aggressive garbage since 1999 was about the apex of that rap/metal fusion crap....then again, I'm getting old...the original Woodstock was very laid back...according to two of my older brothers, there was so much free joints being passed around, you could be high all the time, but there were very few dropping acid. And cocaine, crack, ecstasy...and many other drugs that became problems later, weren't around back then. Their big complaint was that...even if you were trying to hear the music, the sound was crap from most areas of the field...but they probably didn't care that much anyway...they just went to hang out. So, Woodstock 69 was even more disorganized and chaotic than 99, but youth culture of that time was very different than 30 years later. There was a prevailing sense of optimism, cooperation and sharing. So, there were very few reported incidents of fights, sexual assaults, even medical emergencies....because unlike 99, where high temperatures and water shortages led to hucksters charging 4 or 5 dollars for small bottles of water, the 69 crowd was sharing whatever food and drinks they brought with them with anyone who needed it. Worth noting that...at least from a financial perspective, the 25th anniversary Woodstock was considered a great success...and that was the main reason for the 30th anniversary show. Maybe they should wait till the 50th anniversary if promoters ever attempt to try it again!

kimmy Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 Some Limp Bizkit is good. Most Korn is. Creed, meh. Rage has some good stuff too. There were a couple of Limp Bizkit songs I liked once, but I can't even remember what they were anymore. Rage Against The Machine is still cool, Korn and Creed were never my thing, but Limp really went limp fast. On the list of things that seemed cool at the time but now make me scratch my head, Limp is right at the top. Ok, after review I think the songs were Take A Look Around (which has the cool Mission Impossible guitar riffs), and Break Stuff (because that's where my headspace was at at the time.) -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Another reason it sucked is that it was a crass commercialistic attempt to cash in on something that was never as great as baby-boomer nostalgia would have you believe. Number of people who were actually at Woodstock: roughly 400,000. Number of people who claim they were at Woodstock: roughly 40,000,000. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

That album was pretty good. After that it's been nothing much at all. Quote
