I was front row for Rage and NIN. Both were fucking incredible. In fact, if you go into the Lollapalooza official pictures section off their website, and you venture over to Day 2, there is a picture of me. If you click over to the right one, I'm the first one, the evil looking dude with the long tongue/hair.

WaleDark rage against the machine was awesome! NIN rules! and the band that was new to me and it rock was HolyFuck, you should all give it a try

Liquefaction I didn't want to say it in a den of lions - but I'm with you J - I think Girl Talk is completely over-hyped. He's just not that good. We went to Perry's and Flosstradamus was doing a way better job of making us dance.

Octagon88 yea octopus project was cool with the ballons and that one chick that makes those cool sounds. Lupe is so good with a live band. Did anybody see Innerpartysystem? I thought gave a very energetic set.
-
hannahthehood completely amazing weekend

I wish Lollapalooza would incorporate some more heavy acts to make it more diverese. Some of the hipster crap just get boring. NIN!!!

I've been two lollapaloozas 06 and this year and I still can't figure out which one was better. I hope C3 keeps making the lineup fantastic. Keep bringin the electronic/experimental/hip-hop acts along with the established rock music and I'll keep coming.
-
shadedballroom What Made Milwaukee Famous was amazing! Still pissed about running all the way to the Bud Light stage for The Weakerthans only to find they had cancelled.
-
jamesov89 Lost my phone on sunday night . . . it was worth it. Seeing Radiohead as close as I did was one of the best musical experiences of my entire life.
-
RobertSVW NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
-
faustshausuk NIN would have been better without anything from Ghosts I-IV. It got totally drowned out by Kanye.
-
rockin2tool nine inch nails was crazier than rage. the front row was hell and people were being crowd surfed out non-stop.
-
ohlihveeah Iron & Wine made my life when they played Upward Over the Mountain. I've never danced so much in my life at Girl Talk and Kanye West. Great day. =D
-

With Caide, I've never danced so much in my life either. Thank God for the Perry Theater! So happy my first Lolla experience happened to feature this addition.
-
CaideSin I have never danced so much in my life. Thanks for being awesome, Lolla.

NIN was amazing
-
BWalshy AMAZING, highlights: NIN, raconteurs, MGMT, Does It Offend You? Yeah! Girl Talk, Okaraville River, Radiohead was amazing, rage was amazing! but dam you soundbourd! there where deads spots infront of the 1st row of speaker towers. I could hear fine, but we got pushed back and it got really quiet. I couldn't even hear Zachs rapping. it pissed me off, and the news kinda downplayed how many people got hurt. Talked to a guy with a broken rib.

For the love of christ, stop walking back and forth constantly while a band is playing. Stop talking on your mobile phones. Stop chatting loudly about rubbish. Stand and watch the bands. Dance. Sing along. Mouth the words and tap your feet awkwardly. Just enjoy the damn music, and let others do the same. If you just want to chat and get drunk, there are plenty of douchey bars you can go to in Wrigleyville.

Quicksand227 oh what a lineup!
