are there people here on twitter that would argue woodstock 69>woodstock 99? because im going to start watching performances from 99 for the 20th anniversary and i just dont see myself being convinced 99 wasnt better
the guy from lit just asked the crowd if they had his new cd and when a bunch screamed he said that was badass and started playing miserable. its a level of poetry got at the original woodstock.

"you make me cum

you make me complete

you make me completely miserable"
the physicality of Lits live act really has to be seen to be believed. the frontman is like if mick jagger ruled instead of was mick jagger
oh wow, this performance of ziplock bag (a classic) has the main guy from lit play a tambourine in a subtle nod to the spirit of 69 and then at the end the bass player and drummer vibe out to little green bag in a subtle nod to the spirit of reservoir dogs, a sick tarantino flick
damn this set is an emotional rollercoaster. before the last track the singer is drinking jaeggermeister straight from the bottle and the guitarist busted out a vibrator to use on his guitar. they left it all on the stage that day.
if you told me before i started this set the guitar player lit his shit on fire and smashed his guitar i would have said thats probably a bit much but this was earned honestly. KoRn is autoplaying. Im not sure if im ready for that. at the real show, Lit was followed by Buckcherry
damn i didnt think i was ready and then of COURSE korn opens with blind and jonathan davis is like AARREEE YOUOUUUUU RREEAAAAADDYYYY!!?!??? and i found myself, in that moment, extremely ready.
the raw emotional vulnerability davis was willing to put on display was wild. its like a therapeutic breakthrough every fucking song while hes on stage in front of thousands of people while wearing pumas, a wifebeater, and a leather studded kilt. also munky dropped his guitar lol
jonathan davis fittingly ended this curled up in a fetal position, convulsing, and singing words to a song that wasnt a hit. wow. anyways im thinking creed next.
scott stapps ability to alternate from like a very spiritual sensitivity to raw power is on full display in his wardrobe choice here with the billowy white soft shirt and a badass bootcut jean pant.
the dudes of creed have no unified visual aesthetic. stapp is dressed like a rock messiah, obviously, but then the guitarist is like the manager of a bar and grill, the bassist is a prison inmate, and the drummer is just in track pants and a black t. take the look higher can you?
so far, my own prison, my own worst enemy, and freak of the leash were all the biggest hits of these performances and they all center around men who have made tremendous life mistakes and i realize its possible i have too. oh wow
lol my mans @danceformyhorse said he recalled thr original guitar player from the doors coming out and jamming with creed in an undertaker shirt and yellow ass pants. he did. what a dork. very fitting for the doors imo. creed would never.
lol wrestling fans really do be having this kind of energy though. "if you saw nakamuras matches in japan youd know how badly vince is booking him imo" okay man just play the doors songs you came to play and let creed rock for these people
lol the doors<<<<<creed and its not even close. man wears the undertaker on his shirt the other man lives with that american badass spirit every day. no comparison. anyways im thinking DMX next.
lol a man in a captain america hat introduced stephen baldwin (the worst baldwin) and rosie perez (undefeated in life) to introduce dark man x
dmx, in front of a sea of white flesh, holds up the mic to get them to sing the words to well umm... this song...
dmx has controlled this crowd like nobody else. every person knows every word. and still he asks where his dawgs are at. DMX, theres like 200,000 of them hanging on your every word. i think you know that.
lol dmx fully sweat through his shirt and exhibited how its impossible to pop that off while wearing comically oversized monogrammed red overalls, them shits gonna just fall off man. still no word on where his daaaawwwwwgggss aaaatttt
lol for fucks sake, this is the rapturous experience creed was hoping for. he literally is just doing a prayer where hes like flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood, bless everyone here tonight WHERE MY DAAAWGGS AAAATTTT
oh wow, so dmx finished his set and i swear to god, ascended into heaven. just vanished into the ether while everyone kind of just processed what they witnessed. holy fuck. dmx went off. anyways everclear also played and came out in cowboy hats. those goofballs
this band is rocking the fuck out but the sound mixing is off. the lead guitar is quiet as shit and the singing is slightly under everything else. i think its starting to effect everclear tbh. hes just kinda like whats going on here? why is the sound NEVER clear?
haha my man everclear is wildin. he was all, fuck all the people who want to make this a commercial venture. umm... my man... you're everclear. you wrote i will buy you a new life. you have a goldberg tat. i love you but youre not the deliverer of this message. save it for ratm
damn the homey everclear is rocking tbh. i gotta be real though, i didnt know it required 6 band members to do santa monica or any everclear song. 3 more guys and they would have had a full slipknot. that rules.
everclear grew bored of his 5 bandmembers so he invited a fuckton of people on stage with him. considerably more people than necessary for a full slipknot. anyways bleached blonde dudes were super on one in 99.
lol dharma came out to tell us her favorite band OF ALL TIME brian setzers orchestra is coming out but i think what actually came out was all of the guys from green day that got merged together in a fly like accident. dharmas trippin regardless.
tfw YOUR FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME is performing in front of 120k people like five feet away from you. lol jk im not trying to gatekeep the brian setzer orchestra. im sure shes a huge fan. it just doesnt show on her face.
lol damn i am feelin dharmas energy re: brian setzer. no wonder nobody listened to that music outside of commercials. the offspring musically is on another level to any orchestra much less brian setzers. still a lot of bleached hair and wallet chains regardless so im here for it.
the offspring really are out here at woodstock 99 dressed like someones little brother. which makes a lot of sense actually because they make music for someones little brother. my older sister would fuckin know tbh
damn dexter holland was singing about how he hoped the world was a better place and they hit him with a bottle in the face. i think weve all been there.
oh wow, they took a quick break to bring out a bunch of blow up dolls with the backstreet boys faces taped on them. AND THEN DEXTER SMASHED THEM WITH A BASEBALL BAT. then he launched into the song cool to hate about how its actually not cool to hate. levels.
the offspring are now just joyfully playing amidst a bunch of trash hurled at them from their adoring fans. it really captures the pernicious spirit of a pre 9-11 america. pretty fly for a white guy was basically the national anthem.
oh shit they brought that kid from the pretty fly for a white guy video. replace the statue of liberty with this kid imo
offspring closing this set out with self esteem as it should be. just realized dexter has been wearing one of those leather cuff watches. truly taking that "younger brother who drinks hella mountain dew and tells people he can ollie" aesthetic to the highest level. good song also
as a person whose been to a number of slipknot shows, ive never felt so offended to have people confuse slipknot (a great band) with ICP (an insane clown posse). ive also never felt so perilously close to becoming a juggalo
this one clown just press slammed a random fan into a display of soda while three songs play at once. and another clown pours more soda into the audience. i think im being broken mentally and indoctrinated into their way of life.
not helping my mental state: multiple demons just showed up to dance with the soda drenched clowns.
oh no, a pair of cops came to shut down everyone's good time. luckily our heroes had remedies for this eventuality. im only surprised they didnt literally drown them in cola. oh yeah music is playing too. woodstock is wild.
lol the clowns took a reprieve from mass hypnotization to throw balls full hundreds of dollars into the crowd to protest the expensive ticket prices. somehow this didnt cause a riot because we had a national surplus. try that shit today clowns.
wow, these clowns did nothing but spray soda on stage for a full hour and still they have so much soda left. they actually under performed based on their own expectations. theres a lesson here about always aiming high or knowing ones limits. either way my soul needs saving.
lol, so many "marry me jewel" signs. one guy had it written on his chest. We all want to marry an angel. theres a lesson here though about always aiming high or knowing ones limits. either way my soul needs saving.
im so here for jewel being bookended by two different types of guys who will vote for obama in 08 and trump in 16. lol marry me jewel
who is responsible for the jewel reign not lasting forever? shes out here dressed like master of puppets era james hetfield but with capris and an sensible emerald heel with 200,000 people fully enraptured by her grace. is it kurt loder? no one man should have all that power imo.
holy fuck, jewel playfully put on her guitar players hat and then transitioned from like "cute lol" to "OH WOW SHES HAVING LIKE A COUNTRY MOMENT" effortlessly. showmanship on another level. marry me jewel!
jewel casually shut shit down and scatting and improvising a version of who will save your soul. it was again another display of earnestness and raw emotional power of a KoRns or DMX that i dont think our 2018 minds can handle. thats prob why jewel performs on cruises now. sad.
lol a dude took the mic when jewel sat down when her set was up and proclaimed himself the official king of woodstock. there was a sinister edge to him and he was escorted away. jewel came out and did a quick acoustic song and yodelled as an encore. queen.
lol i assure you i have no idea what an oleander is or why theyre playing woodstock but i love the energy. theyre exactly like dudes that would have been my teachers in middleschool and thats fucking sick they all found glasses that fit their personalities. especially the bassist
lol my man took a hard swig of corona and said theyre oleander from sacramento home of deftones (amazing) CAKE (amazing) and every other badass motherfucking band from northern california and I AM FUCKING LOVING IT.
lol damn oleander is doing a cover of Boys Dont Cry and the guitar player has a fucking sick sacramento kings sticker on his guitar. I wanted to shit on these guys but theyre basically me if i was rock band in the late 90s. Oleander for life.
oh wait i know this song why im here. a legendary song here in northern california. you know what? good for oleander. im happy for them.
hmm they are telling me this guy is a new york native that made good and is on the show frazier. ive never seen frazier so i can neither confirm nor deny but his shirt is wild as hell and im about to watch something miserable lol lets go
does anyone know if the twisted brown trucker band is maga too? i used to think the orange hair guy ruled. im trying so hard to get in the pit and love someone right now. the drummer is wearing a 7/11 uniform. thats amazing.
lol this piece of shit is like hey america show the whole fucking world some fucking attitude. hes always been a walking maga hat. i hate how much bawitaba still lowkey does it to me.
lol i went looking for redemption for uncle kracker like hey what if hes like "you know i dont always agree with bob ritchie politically but..." and then nope fuck this im out before i learn joe c was more problematic than he was already being joe c. gonna cut out of this one tbh
lol dawg dave matthews band's violin player is buff as shit. i bet he was backstage at woodstock g checking kid rock. like walking up to him all "sup bro.... heard you were talking shit in the future? whats up?"
this man just ripped a fucking sax solo and did it while wearing a shirt so peach colored i believe its actually made of the essence of peach and not some sort of polycotton blend. how does one even acquire shirts made of the essence of colors? idk lmk
unfucking believable. men are garbage tbh. i literally just cut off kid rock for this same shit. dave matthews band too? really? sigh, alright ima put on sheryl crow i guess
lol they said sheryl crow is a candidate for the 'heart and soul" of woodstock. her music sucks and shes appropriating native american culture with those pants so maybe they mean the old woodstock.
sheryl crows actual favorite mistake was buying guitars that were always so comically oversized. what the fuck for real
i cant really express the extreme apathy sheryl crow is drawing in this crowd. shes playing massive hits but doing it in a way where shes daring them not to give a shit. shes like here i am world, see me but have no emotional reaction what so ever. its a bold performance strategy
no sheryl crow all *I* want to do is half some fun and now that youre done maybe i can. oh nevermind this band is from canada theyre probably gonna suck lol
the guitar player from the tragically hip looks like paul rudd doing a bit where he plays in a stupid band that performed at woodstock 99. this bands chill tho, i cant lie. its been 8 minutes and its been all build up, im hoping a song starts soon.
the guy i the front looks like hes going to "challenge" me to answer questions about myself while eating increasingly spicier chicken wings. the guy behind him looks like hes super over that being his friends deal. so far theres been two songs in theory but not songs in practice
this band is catching a vibe but nothing overtly interesting is happening probably because theyre canadian. theyre kinda like if you listened to radiohead songs that arent losing my religion/nightswimming. im not sure why anyone would do that but this band is for you if you would
disregard what i said about nothing overtly happening. the lead singer who is not michael stipe of radiohead has a maraca now. credit where its due. also im being told by canadians hes actually a legend who recently passed away. no disrespect to canadian icons meant. RIP this guy
i didnt think this guy could get any more chill but he straight took a lie down during the set. hell fuckin yeah. RIP Gord Downie for real for real. true inspiration to the rest of the chill boys out there like me. this band also is rocking like hell right now while hes chillin.
RIP to this canadian style icon. i meant no disrespect to you. especially now that i think its a very distinct possibility you might have been tragically crip.
lol someone asked me to talk about this band guster which im not even sure is a word but its whatever, rich voss from last comic standing and tough crowd with colin quinn strolled out looking like this. comedians are real funny tbh
this band guster is pretty cool. its like the guy from angel and bones teamed up with kyle mooney. they also have a bongo player but he doesnt really look exceptionally like anybody on tv so i got nothing. i do question why he doesnt have drum sticks though.
so strike what i said about this band guster being pretty cool. theyre kinda like if trader joes was a band and all the dudes in the band just work there. tbh those dudes are usually chill when i go in but i wouldnt want to listen to them in a band. this sax guy is the manager
this bands whole energy is like these dudes work at a trader joes and just like to jam and shit and then their annoying too into it manager comes in with weird ass instruments and bums them out but they play pranks on him and shit. but the music is kinda boring
i seriously needed a break from whatever those last 3 bands were. ice cube in a raiders jersey and top hat screaming about how hes a natural born killa is definitely it. what a sophisticated legend
oh my god, ice cube brought out fieldy in a t mac jersey to introduce his song fuck dying. they said he looks like hes from fucking inglewood and then they dubbed this inglewoodstock. fieldy is from bakersfield. doesnt matter its inglewoodstock now!!!
lol ice cube said fuck this crowd two songs in and walked off the stage. it was a bit so his hypeman could get every middle finger in the massive hive of people to chant fuck you ice cube and draw him back out. its amazing what doing interesting things does to a performance imo
the main guy from bush is what every early 2000s anime fan assumed they looked like with this kind of get up/hairstyle. the other dudes in the band dont even get spotlights btw. this is how the world saw those anime fans. sad.
lol this goof had the band keep repeating the same annoying two seconds of a song so he could crawl in front of a crowd and get a shot where theyre all reaching for him like hes a rock god. all these jim morrison ass dudes were desperately chasing what dmx effortlessly had
bush is rolling around on the ground and popping his shirt off, whatever it takes to get people into songs like the chemical between us. respect tho cause they suck so whatever gets the job done, definitely do it.
lol i definitely fell asleep watching this bush performance. i cant believe people thought they were good. heres the guy from bush singing the radio head classic this goes out to the one i love. bush and radio head both make bad music for dumb people who think theyre smart.
heres some fucking good music for dumb people who think theyre smart hell yeah. its pretty easy to figure out which band members believe in socialism and which band members believe the moon landing was staged based on how bad the tattoos are tbh.
this set is absolute fire. they opened with the song from the godzilla soundtrack and then did the song about mexicans. lets fucking go. i dont expect anything interesting to actually happen but im just glad theyre not doing songs about chemicals, machines, or systems like bush
i have absolutely no idea how i fucked up this thread but it continues here in the same thread. very strange. https://twitter.com/RamonVillalobos/status/1078756768535080960
