Yes I know we've all heard naughty Karlheinz's entree to this contest but just don't go there. Keep it reasonable!

Well, I just didn't want to see a bunch of shit like 'nuclear firestorm sweeping through blowhole tunnelled into earth by fifth column of aliens from Neptune immediately turning entire crod into radioactive zombies during final climatic chord on 'Break Stuff'. You know, stuff that could actually HAPPEN and thus give people bad ideas

'crod' is my new favourite word. sums up a limp bizkit audience perfectly! ;)

dave q, that is a scene from Godzilla vs the Smog Monster!! (original japanese version) (more or less)

In the same way that the original Altamont is credited for sounding the death knell of the 60's Hippie vibe, I'd love to see a simillarly dark festival in which Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit, Destiny's Child and N'Sync fail to control the bloodthirsty savagery of the...er....ICP Army of Juggaloos (or whatever they call themselves) who agree to maintain security, accepting free Fayglo as payment (isn't that the soda they all love?) As headliners Limp Bizkit take the stage to a chorus of zealous boos, Jennifer Lopez gets clubbed to death with an official SeanJohn umbrella by a representative of S.O.J.C. (Sons of Jaz Coleman).

The problem is that there needs to be a THING which then gets taken TOO FAR so everybody FEARS. What is the THING?

Perhaps if Timberlake had gone into space two years ago and blown up, that might have been it. but now?

nu-Altamont = "neo-garage" rock + "electroclash", beginning with members of said bands getting beaten into a pulp in front of the stage by a rowdy pack of hell's angels - "mod" haircuts mussed --> "future of rock" lost --> tragedy ensues

The 2002 Altamont moment, should it come, will be at an Eminem show.

Heh. I guess that means that "our Altamont" took place on Super Sunday, 2004.
