So I guess no Lauryn Hill as it had been rumored but this is still pretty amazing. I hadn’t heard about this new format artists have been doing as of late in which they perform entire albums worth of material but I’m okay with the Wu-Tang Clan performing all of “Enter The 36 Chambers”. The rest of the lineup for the 2010 Rock The Bells concert, going down August 21 in Los Angeles and Aug. 22 in San Francisco, doesn’t look as heavy as previous years which is better because jumping between stages when multiple artists are performing always means you’ll be missing some of them. Not being a fan of the whole “festival” experience (blame it on my ass getting older, I guess) this should work very well for me. Not sure if any of the other artists are slated to do the same but with heavy hitters like KRS-One, Rakim & Slick Rick slated to perform, I think that will only be the cherry on top of my Wu-Tang sundae. So what do you think of the line up? Are we really getting that local caravan going to Shoreline (or maybe San Bernardino) this time? Comment away and check out all the details on the official Rock The Bells site here.
Ah, I see Doom isn't pretending to come this year.
LULZ! Fo realz… that guy is both a Metal Face and a Jerk Face.
A bit underwhelming if you've seen Wu before. While I think he's one of the best rappers ever, I don't think Rakim's live show is all that great. When I saw him in SF around 97/98, he brought out special guest — wait for it — Ronnie Devoe. *facepalm*
Yeah, I think the main thing they have going for is the format. It might be cool to see the Wu do JUST 36 Chambers. Yeah, a bit different from the craziness of past RTB's but that might not be a bad thing. We'll see how much tix turn out costing.
