Coachella

[gazza_20]

This is one thing I'd like to see at festivals over here tbh, its my pet hate and would stop the dicks who put there tent on top of yours so they can have a circle for there massive group of friends. (Tbh, I am jealous as I never go in a big group ). I don't think you have to go to certain bay, just make sure your only using your bay. (I spose if you had your group you could still have a bit in the middle where the bays connect?).

Anyway only managed to watch Wild Beasts last night before I went to bed and at work today so will miss the rebroadcast . But they was awesome!!

As for the tupac stuff, its a bit gimmicky really isn't it? Most news reports are focusing on that, so I think it's detracted from the performance a bit. It seems like it's done for the publicity. (Note, I'd have the same issues with having back Kurt or Jimi Hendrix).

Fine by all means use holograms as part of your stage show (Thinking the dancers the Chemical Bros use in the videos/some of them sort of graphics in holographic form would be awesome), would even be cool to have hooked up with a special guest performing else where live but that I just thought was a bit naff and takes away from the performance.

So what's peoples views upon the tupac hologram?

Tasteless? Inventive? Good use of technology? Adds to the live performance? Makes the performance too per-rehearsed and less live? Would you like to see anyone back from the dead? Nirvana, Beatles? Good for a fest or not? Good for own shows?

Fuck all this hologram nonsense, it was rubbish when Gorillaz did it and it hasn't changed.

Actually agree very much with this post. Not a Wild Beats fan so watched another channel. Thought the Snoop and Tupac thing was great, saw the video on NME, gimmicky yes, publicity yes, but a great thing to think to do and much more effective than I imagined. A completely different idea, I reckon it'd be ace for a festival to think about getting that in the UK next year.

For example, if R&l did end up getting Bloc Party and Biffy Clyro next year, it'd be no means a bad thing to have Dre headline the last night I don't think. What you reckon?

[jump]

I'm all for it, enhances the show and I'd rather see at least a holograph of them rather than here their backing voice with nothing.

[gazza_20]

I'd take Dre and Snoop right now. As soon as they were announced for Coachella I thought it'd be amazing if they were in the UK at all, R&L would be perfect!

[gazza_20]

How does it enhance the show? I've seen bands who had guest vocals from other artists play live before and had someone stand in and in this case you could of had one of the Outlawz as a way of tribute so a blank tape isn't the only other option.

[Andre91]

Just get the Tupac hologram to headline. I'd be happy with that

Or you could save a bit of money and get a cardboard cut out. Considering people get pissed when the likes of Eminem, Madonna etc lip sync live to a tape why are people getting exticed over the same thing but not even with a person now?

that is the point. Eminem wasn't lip syncing at V fest last year btw.

because with this, it's actually movement from the person, some crowd interaction, not a cardboard cut out that with a gust of wind might blow over haha.

i agree you can't forget the real person isn't there but I think that if Chem Bro's can do a similar thing as part of there show then why not. he hasn't tried to fool the audience that he was actually there.

What an absolute load of shit, are people so desperate for reunions or seeing thing they haven't before that we've got the stage of beinging someone back to life via hologram? What's next, R&L don't want to pay Blur and Green Day to headline so they'll just put holograms of them up there? Fuck me.

Whilst Emienm lip syncing at V is debatable he 100% was at TITP.

[gazza_20]

Cam anyone who knows shed some light on the difference between Coachella and Bannraoo? Just what makes them separate.

[rug568]

If i had a dollar for every 'motherfucker'....

[jump]

Yes, i have looked at some video's and I think it's hard to debate. I was at V though and he defo wasn't. He is actually a great live act IMO, but maybe Biased as I went kind of knowing I would like it. It was only a day ticket so had to justify the money somehow haha,.

[mrtourette]

The same thing that makes R&L and T separate - they're run by diffrent people in different places with different line-ups. They're different festivals.

They are different festivals. so different line ups, different place and all that plus Bannaroo has more non-music stuff to do.

Thing is though, the hologram cost $10million, so they would be more expensive than the artists themselves. Less tempermental though. Haha.

I think the technology is great. Whether it should be used to bring the dead to live is another matter. But thinking about some of the stage shows that could happen with the use of holograms is crazy.

Imagine a Rob Zombie set with holograms. His mechanical dragon at download last year was good, but there could be 300 zombies on stage. Visual displays during sets would just be unbelievable. Bit costly at the minute though. But thinking of the future.

Would be dreaming if we could get a Cobain hologram with the foos for one song for the 20th anniversary. Add Kist Novoselic to the mix and use the same footage as reading 1992 and that would be incredible.

Would be dreaming if we could get a Daphne and Celeste hologram. Add everyone bottling them so no one would get hurt to the mix and use the same footage as reading 2000 and that would be incredible.
