Thom Yorke has more talent in his lazy eye than you do in your entire elephantine body.

Perez, GO FUCK YOURSELF. They're incredibly relevant and talented bands, and just because your fat ass isn't credible enough to score a press pass… don't shit on people with actual talent.

Why don't you go look some more "indie" bands up on Wikipedia? Jackass.

Who the eff do you think is going to Lollapalooza? Aged hipsters, moron. Don't the 22 yr. olds go to Avril concerts? Oh wait…noone's going to those…lol…

Perez.. your such a fucking douche bag.

You don't know anything about music.
Sophie says – reply to this

15

Perez, I'm sorry I gotta disagree with you here. Radiohead's new cd is pretty damn good and they put on a great show!
andi says – reply to this

16

two of the best bands ever. perez, your music taste is shit.
glib says – reply to this

17

for someone who is attempting to be a music mogul, I would expect you to understand that Radiohead is still the most creative "major" band in existence.

Mario, How do I say this delicately ….. Man you're a lard assed homo
Jen says – reply to this

19

Both bands are still great and share many fans. For some of us, this is a dream ticket!
jojo says – reply to this

20

Nine Inch Nails…yeah that's random.

But RADIOHEAD? You think they're "10 Years Ago"?

Right, Perez. Radiohead are so irrelevant compared to all those utterly disposable acts that you shill for every single day…

Is there any way to "delicately" address what a douche you are?

Didn't think so.

Shut up you fat asshhole!!! You don't know what good music is, this will be an awesome concert dumbass.

Radiohead is bigger than jesus and the beatles. This concert will be huge.

Jesus and the beatles will be selling hot dogs there.
ROBIN MATHIS says – reply to this

35

I SAW N.I.N WHEN THEY ORGINALLY PLAYED LOLLPOLOOZA AND THEY WERE AWESOME. RADIOHEAD IS FAB SO STOP HATING PEREZ
John Smith says – reply to this

36

Wow, you have proven yourself to be a talentless prick who has no ability to respect talent. Nine inch nails is still going strong, and Radio head has made millions of dollars off of its new album (which was sold online for free or at a fan's price of choosing) simply due to the fact that they have such a huge broadreaching fanbase. Go back to your lesbian gangbang with hillary.
jon says – reply to this

37

wow, perez. radiohead are as relevant as ever.
i agree NOT says – reply to this

38

radiohead may be over but nine inch nails is better than ever and trent puts on the best show i've ever seen.. and i've seen the likes of madonna and michael
russ says – reply to this

39

Fuck that shit, they'll both be amazing.
me says – reply to this

40

i l'd ol for this one! haha!
lauren says – reply to this

41

:x ah you must be crazy, radiohead is amazing!
heather says – reply to this

42

Oh really? Tons of people still love them… including me.
blab blah says – reply to this

43

yeah perez dude, two bands that released their albums online w/TONS of support, downloads, and excitement from fans. you really have no idea what good music is, maybe if jewel and whatever pop crap you're pimping were headlining you'd be excited?
seriously says – reply to this

44

no! not ten years ago! they both fucking rock. i dont WANT to say you suck for saying this, but, i cant help but think it, if only a little bit..
brian says – reply to this

45

ur taste in music is shit, radiohead owns your life
Samantha says – reply to this

46

Um. Radiohead are very NOW. Nine Inch Nails, not as much but Radiohead is quite the headliner. So shut it b/c you just don't know.

Love you.
tor says – reply to this

47

wow..perez..you did NOT just go there.
dissing radiohead like that is jsut something you DONT do.
CONTINUAL LIFE SUPPORT says – reply to this

48

Sounds like a perfect line-up for a music venue that has been trying to die for the past decade…
amanda says – reply to this

49

last years line up was so much better.
nicole says – reply to this

50

eff you! this is a great lineup anytime!!!
love them! says – reply to this

51

10 years ago??These bands will never get old!
bored says – reply to this

52

I still like radiohead. I only like maybe one or two nin songs.
Jamie~James says – reply to this

53

Why not now? Radiohead just had an album come out and NIN is still touring today? I think it's the most exciting show I've heard of all year!
LOB says – reply to this

54

Perez…do you even know what Lollapalooza is about and what the festival stands for? This is about real music, not about that Europop crap you try to push on your readers. Furthermore, Radiohead is the MOST genius modern rock band. They rocked 10 years ago when I saw them at Tibetan Freedom concert, they rocked last year when I saw them at Bonnaroo, and they're going to rock even more when I see them on May 11th. And might I add…Chicago, here I come.
brittany says – reply to this

55

Perez, you're wrong. Radiohead continues to make beautiful music. Fuck off.
Bleecker says – reply to this

56

Radiohead is still current and still producing amazing music.

As for NIN, I was never into them, but I know a lot of people are and who would literally die at the chance to see Trent Renzor perform live.
Pris says – reply to this

57

just because they're older bands doesn't mean they suck, perez. i'm sure some of your "discoveries" will also be along for the ride…
ali says – reply to this

58

They fukin rock!
mh says – reply to this

59

you're insane. radiohead still contributes fantastic music. your taste just doesn't jive with it!
Rob says – reply to this

60

This show is going to be great! I hope I can stay up for it though.
Alyce Harlequin says – reply to this

61

NIN and Radiohead
is a very now lineup.
it wouldn't have made sense
10 years ago - so shut up Perez.
meagan says – reply to this

62

What are you talking about? This is amazing now and ten years ago!
THe Boss of YOU says – reply to this

63

NO THEYRE NOT ASSHOLE> Look it up on the website
LaLaLand says – reply to this

64

I'd say it's awesome now…it's called ingenuity and both bands have it in spades. Just because most bands you champion for *see Mika* are a novelty and have no real talent doesn't mean you have to dog on veterans who still have relevance. Have you even heard the new albums?
volta says – reply to this

65

this is amazing news. two of my very favorite bands. now if only the flaming lips and wilco join, i'd be content to die. by the way, radiohead is making some of the most vital music of their entire career and sweeping accolades left and right from those half their age. i've been a fan since 1993, and i can tell ya, they're hitting their stride.
walmart and jesus are not my leaders... says – reply to this

66

whatever. music is so bad, right now…it's like we are living 10 years ago…what the fuck else is good out there? super-christ-i-suck-corp-cock-jonas-brothers?
motherfucker, please. i'll take quality anywhere i can get it–even if i have to invent a time machine…
em says – reply to this

67

that is just ridiculous!
good music and people playing it will always stand the test of time!
Calisto says – reply to this

68

They have that rare thing called talent, unlike Rihanna and Kanye West; whom you apper to think do but I can assure you don't and won't be around in 10 years.
raquel says – reply to this

69

WOAH, these bands both still got it!
infinitely more than 99% of the mainstream pop shit.
seriously. can you not hear???
lindsaykcarey says – reply to this

70

wow, I am usually against comments, but are you kidding me? wow. radiohead is so relevant
lolita says – reply to this

71

go listen to asslee simpson….what do you know about music??
liza minelli says – reply to this

72

Are you kidding!!!! Radiohead and nine inch nails……brilliant!!!!!! Can not wait.
ralph says – reply to this

73

radiohead has done more than you could ever dream of, fuck bag, don't talk shit about them.
EGiuberti says – reply to this

74

Geez !! I love this blog but this post is so miserable!!!! Radiohead and NIN are not relevant headliners????!!!!??? Specially Radiohead!!!!! Can you give better options?!?!
sara says – reply to this

75

Shut up, radiohead is an amazing band and they just released an amazing album
Dani says – reply to this

76

wow perez, bad taste this time! radiohead is great, 10 years ago and today!
Kristen says – reply to this

77

You're stupid. Radiohead and NIN are timeless.

I can't wait to see Radiohead.

From what I can see everyone else thinking, you are wrong about this.
ashley says – reply to this

78

Are you KIDDING, Perez?! What music act would you have HEADLINE Lollapalooza right now? Radiohead and NIN are true music veterans and anyone who gets to see them perform live is in for a real treat!
EO says – reply to this

79

perez I never actually agreed with you on 1 thing to do with music but as of today. We're even.

THE FUCKING 90'S ARE WELL FUCKING OVER. Boring snorefests of festivals need to fucking stop.
G Funk says – reply to this

80

This is why you shouldn't have you own label. You know dick about music in general.
eva says – reply to this

81

n.i.n = Yay (heart)
DaDawg says – reply to this

82

no WAY Perez… people will love this line up! this rocks!
audrey says – reply to this

83

your hair would've been great 15 years ago.
The Love says – reply to this

84

They actually play instruments? That's so passe. I can't stand actual musical and artistic talent. They'll probably like die of heart attacks before the show becuase they're so old and irrelevant. I would never want to pay homage to bands that millions of people adore, respect, and admire. OMG! LOL! WTF!
Matt says – reply to this

85

Perez, you're so wrong it's not even funny. And to think Warner Bros. is actually considering hiring you…MESSED UP!
Rachel says – reply to this

86

WTF perez?! You're supposed to be mr music guru and you can't appreciate Radiohead, go back to your new corporate gig and leave other people's art alone.
Mike says – reply to this

87

Radiohead is still on top of its game. In Rainbows was easily one of the best albums of last year. NIN is a little tired, but overall Reznor is a great performer.

And wasn't it you who was just drooling over the ancient Jewel earlier?
naddi10 says – reply to this

88

I cannot wait to go see them in San Francisco!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!
Shireen says – reply to this

89

Are you kiddime me Perez??

THAT'S GOING TO BE FUCKING SWEET!!!!
Dave says – reply to this

90

Yo Perez, you're retarded!
RADIOHEAD!

AND NINE INCH NAILS!!

THATS AMAZING! check your shit , how is it 10 years ago if both bans have new albums?
YO YO says – reply to this

91

That. Is. Awesome… How can you say that would be good 10 years ago??? Radiohead just released the most notable album of the year.
megan says – reply to this

92

This is still a great line-up, I have no idea wht you are talkiong about. If you pulled your head out of Robyn's ass you would realize this.
radiohead says – reply to this

93

Perez we all herd you this morning on c-crest, trying to lose wieght it is understandable that you are grumpy now that you have to eat less, but honestly knocking on Radiohead you should really go fuc* your fat gay self.
HI There! says – reply to this

94

Never went to a NIN concert….just liked scattered songs…Yawn.
chicago says – reply to this

95

You are clueless, Perez.
PJ says – reply to this

96

Oh perez I ain't one to bash but Radiohead is better than any music you promote on this site. Some of it is ok, some of it is pop crap but don't go bashing radiohead
kelly says – reply to this

97

yaaay!!! dont hate… not every one likes the new trendy shit out now!!! its worthless, and radio haed an nin kick ass!!
Wolf_BOOB says – reply to this

98

Re: Molly –

Way to go! I couldn't agree more!

Mr. Perez, how can you diss Radiohead? Have you heard their latest album? It's fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! I couldn't say the same about those talentless folks you like to promote around here…I've seen Radiohead in concert a couple of years ago and I was stunned how beautiful Thom's voice is in a concert and how great the band performed. Get over yourself, dude.
kj says – reply to this

99

i think the other comments sum up my perspective…looks like you should stick to celeb gossip and not try to discuss music…you really dont know shit.
Roberto says – reply to this

100

and the beatles would have made for great headliners 50 years ago…but i'd still go see them headline lallopalooza

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
