Every festival is either in California or Europe I swear Rock On The Range is in Columbus, and that's consistently the best North American rock festival as far as I'm concerned. And Montreal has Heavy MTL, that's a good one albeit heavier bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy MTL is pretty good but a little too heavy for me, I considered going last year as Slipknot was headlining but I ended up just seeing them on their tour in Toronto!

The west coast has a few decent festivals but there's tons of awesome bands that tour the east coast far more heavily than the west... and the only GNR date in Canada is in Toronto Plus you get Heavy TO.

Gordon Comstock Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 For some reason I thought it was a 2 or 3 year gap between the Heavy TO shows so I figured it was like a "we'll do it when we can/every few years" kinda thing, my bad. Anyway, yea, Oldchella... the only one of interest to me is Roger Waters, really. I might watch The Who if they stream it [for free].

dalsh327 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 What would be hilarious is if the shows sell out and then they go "oh by the way, David Gilmour is going to be joining Roger". Surprised Tom Petty and Springsteen aren't taking part in it, or that the "Big 4" aren't doing a metal Coachella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, I praised him before but I specified Shakey because he seems to be lost in the shuffle here and honestly, Neil and Bob are the only ones still putting out music, well I think Paul does also but I've never been the biggest McCartney fan outside a certain musical group and no, I do not mean Wings! The Stones and The Who are just embarrassing these days, karaoke machines. How can you have The Who without The Ox or Moon? You simply can't. Impossible. Cannot be done. And with the Strolling Bones, it is just phoning in a setlist of hits - and in truth it has been that way for years. And Waters just mimes to The Wall now. Why would you spend the same amount of money as you would, a short holiday abroad, on an old fart who stands there lip-syncing to an album he put out forty years ago? Neil however has hit a period of greatness with Willie Nelson's sons, Promise of the Real - I'm currently listening to bootlegs of last year's North American tour, and am certainly looking forward to seeing it in person. Shagging Daryl Hannah? Must have awakened him a bit? Edited May 6, 2016 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) She is no spring chicken herself. He left Pegi, his wife of forty or something years, a la Ron Wood, for Daryl Hannah, I hope it does not go Heather Mills on him! PS Neil has turned her into a hippy, She has been hippyatized.

Metallica calls the shots on The Big 4, and they've said Yankee Stadium was the last Big 4 show. Plus, the first US Big 4 show was at Indio, so they sort of already did it.

Difference is Woody went for a woman 1/3 his age. Not that I have an issue with the age difference mind you....more power to Woody I say....... Hannah has always been a hippy environmentalist of sorts even before she started shacking up with Neil so this is probably one of the reasons why they ended up together...............and JMO but she has held up pretty well for a 55 yr old lady http://www.off-grid.net/daryl-hannah-on-being-off-grid/ Edited May 6, 2016 by classicrawker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Pino Palladino also was really on point. They sounded so big, and it was one of the loudest shows I've seen at that venue. I'm told Heart/Joan Jett was like half the volume just weeks before.

A lot of drummers can do weird fills out of nowhere but that aint doing what Mad Moon did. I get that weren't what you were saying, just saying.

dalsh327 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) But they have Roger Waters taking part in it, I don't know why they wouldn't have Robert Plant doing the festival when he already plays plenty of festivals - Page or no Page.
