i thought this was going to be about the documentary of the same (similar?) name that's out about the last performance of the full wu lineup.

also: if i know anything about hip-hop shows -- i bet 25% of the acts don't show.

6/6/2007 12:22:47 AM

Rage against he machine is the quintessential hip hop group

6/6/2007 12:29:22 AM

mannnnnn i wanted to go to this. my brother was going for his bday, but we were unable to get tix for us and 2 others...but then he got tix b/c a friend up in NY had two extra, and he's taking his wife, gah!! sooo mad!

6/6/2007 9:03:37 AM

An aquaintance of mine is taking her 15 year old daughter and 3 of her friends, as a birthday present.

she doesn't know who wu-tang or rage is, and has no idea what to expect.

I cant wait to hear the story

??? $83 isnt that bad for all of that... I mean, ok, it is in reality but in comparison to other overpriced "festivals" its cheap

6/6/2007 9:45:59 AM

83 fucking dollars to see all that quality is a fantastic price

Public Enemy, The Roots, NAS, EPMD, the WU, Cyprus Hill, MOS and Rage

wow...awesome line up

esp. if Hi-Tek gets on stage and Rahzel beat boxes

6/6/2007 9:51:41 AM

YEA SON THIS THAT REAL HIP HOP

6/6/2007 9:57:42 AM

well supposedly that countdown website above is being hosted by Live Nation, and there are rumors that when the 4 day countdown gets to zero there might be an announcement for a full-scale RATM tour

6/6/2007 6:06:23 PM

so who wants to take the train up there with me?

6/6/2007 7:37:25 PM

^^ where did u hear that?

id pay $100 easy for JUST rage.

i also heard there was a festival in washington dc coming up with RHCP, RATM, Incubus, and like 100+ bands total...im tryin to find it

6/6/2007 9:13:53 PM

id give a nut to see rage

6/6/2007 9:17:29 PM

I actually heard it tonight on the live show "The Sauce" that the Fuse Network shows

I figure if a music network is going to talk about rumors like this they must have some sort of ground to stand on

I really really really hope its true


also, there are two countdowns on that website, one for 4 days from now (7:10am on Monday June 11th), and another for midnight on August 24th - which is after the Rock the Bells festival series ends

i love rage's first CD, a lot. Esp. for when it came out it was something a little different. The only problem I ever had with rage was that I really felt like once I had heard that first album I had heard them all. I bought the first 3 but I still only listen to the first one if I want to hear Rage. Sure the actual riffs themselves didnt sound the exact same but the style of songwriting didnt really change.

However, Im not bashing Rage, i still love me some RATM and would like to see them live once, I just wished they branched out more.

6/6/2007 10:18:05 PM

I'm tryin to get a group together to head out for the San Bernardino show and also just checkin out LA for a few days. Lemme know if you're interested.

6/6/2007 11:08:32 PM

rage and wu tang didnt get along last time they performed together

btw rage kicked ass that show and wu tang was prolly the worst live performance i have ever seen

6/7/2007 12:10:46 AM

well the first countdown on the http://www.ratm82407.com website came to an end this morning and it was counting down to the announcement for another Rage show...on August 24th at the Alpine Valley Music Center in East Troy, Wisconsin

its not an announcement for a full-fledged tour, but the fact that they are playing another show after Rock the Bells in a random location is promising for the band to stay together for a while

so, good news and bad news, I guess

6/11/2007 9:07:37 AM

anyone plan on attending?

i'm thinking about going but i don't even know where to look for a hotel in ny

7/4/2007 2:05:12 PM

I'm going to the one in San Bernandino

Tribe Called Quest sent out a myspace message the other day saying they are on the tour too, oh snap

Show in NYC was awesome. It poured rain for the first 3 hours which really got the diehard fans into it.

Mos Def & Talib Kweli -- totally awesome, blackstar reunion...

Cypress Hill -- rocked the place

MF Doom -- had everyone going until Wu-Tang came on

Wu-Tang -- played all their old tracks, almost nothing new despite their set being "from the new album"

Rage -- what can I say besides that they kicked ass. You could tell the band was so much happier not being in Audioslave anymore. Well worth the money just for them to play.

7/30/2007 12:08:13 AM

Best concert(s) (I went both days) I've been to in a loooong time.

I enjoyed the rainy second day a lot more, and I think there were more people there...but the crowd was a bit more hyped and crazy for Day 1

7/30/2007 9:43:19 AM

who played at/around 8 on saturday? my brother was all "be prepared for an 8 o'clock call on Saturday..." and I never got one

7/30/2007 10:55:24 AM

^Wu Tang

7/30/2007 11:04:56 AM

mannnnnn

7/30/2007 11:07:47 AM

greatest concert I've been to. I went both days. first day was 10th rowish and it was SOOOO hot, I could barely breath. 2nd day me and my cousin went to the front row. being 10 feet from zack was insane. I might have to go back next year

8/19/2007 12:25:55 PM

i just got back from the one in san francisco, that shit was wild. got wicked sunburn on my face though, but it was worth it

8/22/2007 10:31:19 PM

haha I got pretty sunburt at the San Bernandino one too, that was definitely the biggest concert i've ever been to

8/22/2007 11:00:00 PM

I really wanted to goto the san fran show, looked like the most complete line up. I dunno how nas could fucking skip his home town I wanted to see the breakdancing too

8/23/2007 10:44:55 AM

Nas skipped out on the San Bernandino show too... what happened there?

8/23/2007 12:50:38 PM

yeah nas was even in the booklet thing in the lineup and i was kinda pissed he wasnt there. but its all good i got to see immortal technique on the main stage. yeah the breakdancing thing by iamhiphop.com was pretty cool, just kind of a smaller crowd around the mat. it was open though so only a few people were actually really good. i was looking at the population of greenville though just to get a comparison and there were about as many or more people at that show than reside in the city limits of my home town - pretty crazy.
