Worst lineup of 2010?

Tue 20th Jul, 2010 in International News

Too often we get jealous of overseas festival lineups, but the lineup for the eleventh annual Gathering of the Juggalos hosted by the Insane Clown Posse is truly something to gaze upon in awe.

In honour of the premiere of the Juggalos new movie Big Money Rustlas – the prequel to 2000’s classic Juggaloploitation film Big Money Hustlas – the Gathering will feature a “Best in the West” theme in 2010.

The “Best in the West” acts includes a jaw-dropping collection of acts including Naughty by Nature, Method Man & Redman, Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings, Brotha Lynch Hung, Above the Law, Warren G, Afroman, Coolio, Hed PE and Vanilla Ice.

“Ladie’s Night” boasts performances from Tila Tequila and Lil’ Kim; Tone Lōc, Rob Bass and Slick Rick headline the ‘Old School Super Jam’ section of the lineup; while Tom Green, Gallagher and Ron Jeremy deliver their finely crafted routines in the comedy tent.

Gathering of the Juggalos
Cave In Rock, Illinois
12-15 August

It's almost 17 and a half minutes long!

It's great that part of the promotional spiel is that "you'll probably get laid".

17 and a half minutes of glorious stupidity.

So many highlights up in that bitch - I'm particularity fond of the torch light wrestling.

Alexphotosite said on the 20th Jul, 2010

There are like 15 acts that all look like ICP! Is there some mass face painted music genre I am unaware of or is that a joke? It all seems far too much to be real or serious but I guess it's in the US!

It's more than a genre of music, it's a way of life.

The people in the car are pretty much the worst people ever! The "movie" they keep going on about looks like some elementary school project! Can we lobby to have these people culled? It won't be hard as they'll all be in one place at the same time.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A CLOCK

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 21st Jul, 2010

To avoid the rest of the thread just being mab repeating lines.

Ha-ha! There’s so many confusing things out there!
Well get your magnifying glasses out, ninjas! We’re going to take a closer look at life!!
“The world is full of magical mysteries,
Puzzles unsolved since ancient history.”
“Where does sand leave at night?”
“Did people used to really live in black and white?
Is the world round or is it flat?
How come no one can tell me that?”
“What’s with islands?
Get more land!!”
“What’s with deserts?
Get less sand!!
What is Alaska?
Who is Brazil?
Isn’t a volcano just an angry hill?”
“How did God even think of dirt?
Erasable pens make my head hurt!”
“Metal, girls, iron, fire!
How’d they get my voice in a telephone wire!?”
“Why are pants different than shirts?”
“Blankets!? How do they work?”
“The world is full of mysteries…”
Yo! How do suitcases always know where to meet you? Huh?
“So many magical mysteries…”
Are kids small? Or just far away?”
“So many magical mysteries…”
Why do some mountains look like Presidents?
What the fuck is a clock?
Now’s here’s a list of some stuff - -
“Trees, swans, capes, a horse…”
“Triangles, witches…”
“A different horse!”
“The world has 10,000 people…”
“And Santa Claus created all of us equal…”
“Ass Dan’s kids look just like Ass Dan!”
“And my two kids just look like Ass Dan!”
“So with every note, let it bounce off your brain!!”
“The mysteries of life can’t be explained!”
“So fuck you books!
We don’t need your tricks!”
“And all you scientists
Can suck on this!”
Ah yeah, ninjas!!!
Life is a beautiful thing!
Take two, fresh! Ass Dan! 2010! Ha-ha!
I’m gonna live forever! Ha-ha!

Very funny interview on ICP going christian

grattan

grattan said on the 11th Oct, 2010

Fark Ronny that's amazing - simply gold.

Everyone has to read this goodness: Joe Ronson (Men Who Stare at Goats) Vs Insane Clown Posse.

they also seem melancholy and preoccupied with the negative critical response to Miracles. Saturday Night Live just parodied it ("Fuckin' blankets, how do they work?") and the internet is filled with amused and sometimes outraged science bloggers dissecting the lyrics. Violent J and Shaggy have been watching them, they tell me, feeling increasingly saddened and irate.

"A college professor took two days out of her fucking life to specifically attack us," says Violent J. "Oh yeah, she had it all figured out."

One of the ICP road crew locates the video on his iPhone, and it is indeed withering: "The [Miracles] video is not only dumb, but enthusiastically dumb, endorsing a ferocious breed of ignorance that can only be described as militant. The entire song is practically a tribute to not knowing things."

"Fuck you, man," says Violent J. "Shut the fuck up."

"Did you anticipate this kind of reaction?" I ask them.

"No," sighs Violent J. "I figured most people would say, 'Wow, I didn't know Insane Clown Posse could be deep like that.' But instead it's, 'ICP said a giraffe is a miracle. Ha ha ha! What a bunch of idiots.'" He pauses, then adds defiantly, "A giraffe is a fucking miracle. It has a dinosaur-like neck. It's yellow. Yeah, technically an elephant is not a miracle. Technically. They've been here for hundreds of years…"

"Thousands," murmurs Shaggy.

"Have you ever stood next to an elephant, my friend?" asks Violent J. "A fucking elephant is a miracle. If people can't see a fucking miracle in a fucking elephant, then life must suck for them, because an elephant is a fucking miracle. So is a giraffe."

We watch the video for another few seconds: "It becomes apparent that Shaggy and J consider any understanding of the actual workings of these 'miracles' to be corrosive. To them, knowledge is seen as a threat… For ICP a true understanding of 'fucking rainbows' would reduce them to, as Keats put it, 'the dull catalogue of common things'."

Violent J shakes his head sorrowfully. "Who looks at the stars at night and says, 'Oh, those are gaseous forms of plutonium'?" he says. "No! You look at the stars and you think, 'Those are beautiful.'"

Suddenly he glances at me. The woman in the video is bespectacled and nerdy. I am bespectacled and nerdy. Might I have a similar motive?

"I don't know how magnets work," I say, to put him at his ease.

"Nobody does, man!" he replies, relieved. "Magnetic force, man. What else is similar to that on this Earth? Nothing! Magnetic force is fascinating to us. It's right there, in your fucking face. You can feel them pulling. You can't see it. You can't smell it. You can't touch it. But there's a fucking force there. That's cool!"
