Report: Cee Lo Green heckled by angry fans for showing up 25 minutes late for performance…

Cee Lo Green, the “Fuck You” singer, was scheduled to perform at Coachella Friday @ 4:50 p.m. on the main stage. The singer showed up 25 minutes late, claiming that his flight landed late. He then apologized to fans and said he only had 20 minutes left. He only got to perform 5 songs in his set and when he started a cover of Journey’s, “Don’t Stop Believing”, the soundman cut the sound during the middle of the song. Cee Lo left the stage, angry and frustrated.

More on the story, here.

Well it looks like Coachella told Cee Lo, “Fuck You” for being late. The Coachella staff did the right thing though. Coachella doesn’t allow performers to play overtime because it’ll hold back the scheduling for the other performers. Even famous musicians can be unprofessional douchebags. They don’t care how famous you are. Coachella needs to do what’s right for the show and they need to follow the strict set times. I’m siding with Coachella on this.

As for Cee Lo being late why would a musician fly to a festival on the same day the festival is on? That was pretty much his fault. Cee Lo should have showed up a day early so he can be there early for his performance. That’s how you be a professional, show up early for your performance.

We can be sure that Coachella won’t ever be booking this midget fat ass again.

Report: Jay-Z set to headline Coachella this year and many other bands…

The reunited Soundgarden was rumoured to be headlining this year’s, Coachella festival, but looks like they didn’t get the gig. Jay-Z will be headlining the entire festival. Other acts include Them Crooked Vultures, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Muse, Faith No More, MGMT, Devo, Les Claypool, and many more.

This year’s lineup is kind of dissapointing. Jay-Z? Why are all these rock festivals are all over this guy? I’m no Jay-Z fan and not a fan of rap that much.

I wonder if Soundgarden is going to play any festivals this year since they are coming back. Will Soundgarden headline the UK festival, Glastonbury? Who knows.

See the entire Coachella lineup here:

The only bands that would be worth watching there, in my opinion would be Them Crooked Vultures, Phoenix, Les Claypool, Faith No More and that is probably all. Seeing Faith No More would be incredible. I’ve been a Faith No More and Mike Patton fan for a long time.  

I don’t like Vampire Weekend and don’t like MGMT. Devo is alright, but they were good back in the 80’s, don’t know how them has beens would sound like now.

I can’t wait for M.I.A. videos at Coachella 2009…

Rapper, M.I.A., is scheduled to hit the Coachella stage sometime today, when youtube videos of her performances go up, I’ll post them here.

I’m not into rap music much, but I like a few rap artists.

Honestly, I find M.I.A. a beautifully talented artist. She’s one of the better pop and rap artists out there. I really dig her song, “Paper Planes”, I may actually pick up her CD sometime. I’ll be on the lookout for her Coachella stuff.
