I don't mean to alarm anyone, but it appears that 15 or so random black people have stolen microphones are incoherently babbling into microphones on stage 1.


(Never understood the appeal of Wu live)

Are you fucking kidding me?

holy fuck

 

[johnsmith]

I've never seen a full set by Vampire Weekend before so I hadn't noticed what an awesome dancer Chris Baio is. That guy's a hoot to watch.

It comes across as bad karaoke when they perform live. It was the same thing 15 years ago, and continues today. Sorry. It just seems like a dozen or people shouting into microphones to me. I love the albums but their live shows have always been a clusterfuck to me.

Holy fuck at the mic volume, c'mon son.

You should probably have chosen a less racist sounding way to get that across.

Yeah. Wu Tang just sounds bad, the levels I mean. It's kind of brutal.

Sorry. I meant it as a joke. I love their records, but their shows always end up being a dozen or so people shouting into the microphones.

Honestly didn't mean it as a racist joke as much as a bunch of Wu members that nobody knows.

I apologize if it came across as racist.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Huge Wu fan but this sounds HORRIBLE. Their dj, the levels, wtf is this

Wu has sounded amazing live in the past, back when they actually had some chemistry. But this sounds like they didn't even do a soundcheck or rehearse

 

[Archer]

lovin the kung fu videos in the background. keep it goin

edit: anyone else's video keep freezing? gotta keep refreshing to get it running again...

 

[bomma_man]

pretty sure RZA's wearing a 'Coachella ain't nuthin to fuck with' t-shirt

 

[overcast]

Eh it's a solid performance. Mix is messed up though. GZA is dead too.

I saw them when ODB was still alive, and I recall there being even more people on stage. It turns into a singalong instead of just the people who rapped on the actual track having a chance to shine.


::switched over to the faint reunion::

I apologize if it came across as racist.

It wasn't that it came across as racist. It's that it just was racist. SHAME.

[outunderthestars]

For the late night people: Dead Can Dance is worth checking out. A good way to end the night.

 

[kassatsu]

Fuck ya. Meth n Red should be hype

 

[Wynnebeck]

WU TANG IS HERE FOREVER MOTHERFUCKER

 

[Wario64]

What is this shit about people saying Daft Punk was at the Sahara tent just now?

 

[zychi]

What is this shit about people saying Daft Punk was at the Sahara tent just now?

[bomma_man]

probably just R Kelly again

 

[XANDER CAGE]

With Phoenix? That was a fake rumor.

Also the mix is bad, but the Wu still sounds great live. smh outunderthestars

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

April 16th, cop that album.

 

[Jzero]

[Fifty]

Bring on the Dad Rock!

 

[XANDER CAGE]

From the singles, that new Ghostface solo does sound pretty awesome.

 

[saltine161]

I liked Wu Tang's performance wasn't perfect but it got me hyped on my couch.

 

[PBY]

It's pretty good, NPR had the full stream up last week

 

[Jzero]

Yea, i'm not feeling this song too much. I like how flea is humping is bass though.

 

[PBY]

This is awful

 

[Archer]

yea this song sucks, rhcp

the 'stache is doing him no favors either

 

[Agnostic]

warm up song

 

[Jzero]

I think it's his singing that's screwing things up.

and Will Ferrell is rocking those drums.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

rip rhcp

 

[Fifty]

Flea just butchered Will Ferrell's introduction

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Is this is supposed to be the like, big closing act for the whole festival?

 

[Minyobi]

I...I think it is time for the Chili Peppers to go instrumental.
It kills me to say that.

 

[Calidor]

pryda <3

 

[Snowblindvictim]

Eric Prydz is killing it. His set is so good

 

[Archer]

flea's the hardest working member of rhcp by a country mile

 

[Jzero]

Watching the vaguely racist social media feed on the Coachella page as Wu-Tang's set runs long is deeeeepressing!

Damn, forgot that thing was there. Wish I saw it for a good laugh.
