Not only do they rip off the name they use a picture of Perry too?

Or Etty... heh.

I went Friday night. I go about every other year and it's a lot of fun. I give the organizers a lot of credit, I got to the Pasadena Civic about 10 minutes before the doors opened at 6pm and the line was probably about 3,000+ people and wrapped around the block but it only took about 10-15 minutes to get in. A freak watchers paradise, lot's of goth chicks, lot's of weirdos dressed as various horror movie characters, many in super elaborate costumes.

I hate when companies do this. I've seen shit like Used-Car-Palooza. There was this local shitty music promoter in Ohio that rented out a local fairground stage and had Rockapalooza with a bunch of shit bands like Puddle of Mudd.

I just don't get it. I would never go to something that just randomly threw "palooza" on the event name.

I notice the band names are no longer put in different sizes or subtexts. Kind of speaks to the fact that there aren't any monster bands. I mean there are, but lolla probably isn't the place to see them. I hate festivals anymore. Last one I went to was here, in Osaka. Hot as fuck. Blisters on my feet. $6 water. Dust in my lungs. Not one good viewpoint. I'm done with it.

Pretty soon Perry might have to rename it Lollapaloozapalooza

No he didn't invent the word but he definitely put it on the map back in 1991. No one would be using that term for everything the past 25 years if it wasnt for Perry.

I'm not even sure Perry came up with the name originally. I think he credits a manager in some past video.

That was over a decade ago....

This destination festival has been around longer, and is more iconic than the original lollapalooza.

I saw PJ in 92 at the Show. They were amazing. They opened the show and no one came close to measuring up. :rockon:

Eddie gets a little out of control at the end of this....Palladium, rage against the machine opened...PJ blew up between when I'd bought tickets and the show happened...I had thought the show would be cancelled for a larger venue...They played SNL like a week later...Props to them for playing instead of making more money elsewhere
