captain peroxide Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Woodstock isn't woodstock if it's not in woodstockI think the spirit of the thing is more important, mate. But agreed, it would be nice if it could also be in Woodstock.
Guest Hayley Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 personally, I think that it would be great even though if it's not in Woodstock.
.Brian Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Especially for you!If it's in Germany but a part that's too far away...ooh, I'm going to be mad then. And they mentioned Berlin as a possibility in the article, which is probably too far away. Oh well, it's not even sure there's a Woodstock coming anyway.But for example berlin would be too far away, i think even for me. i live in NRW, not far away from the netherlands. my parents had to bring me to berlin, and i don't know if they'd do so :/
Milo Goes To Pasalacqua Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Woodstock isn't as special anymore. It seems like they have those things every couple years. Woodstock '69 and Woodstock '94 are the only true ones to me. '69 had the classics. '94 had the new generation. '09 will have to have the newest generation of awesome. Only then will I like it.I agree. Who would they put on the bill anyway to do it justice? It's not the same as, say, Reading & Leeds, they're on every year and everyone plays at it. Woodstock is more of an icon that comes up every couple of decades and represent an era. Could they have something like Fall Out Boy or Panic At The Disco as one of the main bands? I think not. It would be a disgrace to the woodstock name.
Katarina. Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Green Day performing live can only ever be a good thing True to that
Nobody_Likes_You Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Obviusly. The german people have rock am ring and bizarre festivals, why more?We don't have bizarre anymore, i think.I don't really like the idea of another woodstock with Green Day. And mudstock part 2 would suck massive balls.They won't just duplicate themselves anyways.
Starbug Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Are people forgetting the last one? Never mind 94, what about the last one where they charged 6 bucks for a bottle of water, there wasn't adequate bathrooms, and people had to get helicoptered out of there because of all the rape and pillaging. People were setting stuff on fire, raping women, it was awful. If they attempt to do this again, they need to do it right. Maybe only charge admission and make the food and water reasonably priced. Or better yet, don't charge anything, let it be a pilgrimage, and those that want to play show up. Like the original one. I dont even think they were paid, but I could be wrong about that... it's just lost its original meaning. I think it's crap now :/ the intent behind it is just like the intent behind everything else: MONEY

KerplunkxCreak Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 actually, even this would be awesome loli don't think that woodstock organitators would want to have Green Day again lolI mean, it was a compeltly chaos, were died 4 people..Just...AWESOME lol

It would be a disgrace to the woodstock name.so right. but for us, who weren't old enough in '69 or '94, it would be something like this again. but not under the name of woodstock. woodstock was something really special. trying to copy it would kill it's original thought.
Foxboro Hot Tubs Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 4 people died, while the green day concert?? ...? do you maybe mix something up? ...
