Drew, billy.. why don't u all hold Neros balls for him and then he can hold yours. how's that for a weaksauce line? we can keep going all day.

Im so glad I didn't go to the coliseum. Avoided all the chaos, wandered around then stayed at neon garden the whole time. good vibes, good people, good times.

What the hell? I praise you for making fun of Billy and you curse me out? Wow...

Originally posted by Rukes No, trance stuff wont help. It had the smallest stage at EDC and also the smallest crowd in that smallest stage. Even that is still larger than most trance club events. Insomniac isn't plotting to kill trance, they just know most people going to massives aren't going for trance anymore. See the electro/hipster stage. It gets larger every year, as well as the crowd. If the trance stage at EDC was overflowing with people clamoring to get in, then yes, you would have a valid point. Just be happy that Insomniac respects all genres enough to bring out good people like Gareth and Christopher.

wow i thought i was the only one who noticed that. the fanbase there seemed pretty loyal though. Gareth also seemed to have drew in the most people. still though.. as a testament to how small neon garden was, i couldn't even find it with a map and 4 servings of beer.

We all know what will happen.

Eventually, some electro producers will start adding uplifting, melodic sounds to their songs, and people will act like they're brilliant despite the fact that they're really just making trance songs. It will probably be called something else because of a 5bpm difference or something, but it'll be the same thing. And all of us will be happy, yet grumpy about it.

But next up... hip-hop and dubstep mixed together. It'll be everywhere. Not that I mind, I enjoy dubstep. (I know that's weird for a trance fan to say, but it's true)

Drew, we may have to use 2 hands a piece. Nero's got some juebos de grande

(my joke could have been a FAIL due to my poor espanolo skills)

You guise weren't supposed to say anything about my elephantiasis.

Ok. Are you all done now? Everyone done fighting for no reason? Can we get back on track? Let's get this thread back on topic:

So how shitty was EDC?

EDC could've been a lot worse. i could've had someone step on my Jordans!

Actually EDC wasn't shitty at all. the topic doesn't say "Let's Discuss how shitty EDC is/was". What we can do is get back to the topic of reviews!

EDC was a shit ton of fun, but sadly i arrived late both days. and missed seeing all those retarded kids getting trampled. i would have been laughing my ass off in the VIP had we not taken a detour to chinatown to pick up some friends, which ended up putting us at EDC around 8pm. got to hear zabiela while we were standing in line to get in, then ran immediately to see gareth who did not disappoint. caught about half an hour of sasha's set then headed down to the coliseum floor for above/armin. unfortunately had to suffer thru the last 10-15 mins of benasty and lil john's audio vomit. stayed down on the coliseum floor the rest of the night, which ended all too soon. really, reaaaaaally wish it had've gone on till the usual 4am, that was disappointing. but after all the shit EDC caught cause of the stampedes and the little girl dying, i wonder if this was the last one at the coliseum. which, i think sucks, because i LOOOOOVE that venue. but if i can say one thing... see what happens when you cater to the lowest common denominator? i know its all about making the most money possible out of the event... but when all these ghetto people come out of the wood works because now being a "raver" is the cool thing to do, shit like this happens and it stands a good chance of ruining it for the rest of us, who truly love dance music and these events.

i really didnt expect it to be so crowded..esp friday, which seemed to be more crowded than last year's saturday. its like annoyingly crowded, i like to have some room. are there any bigger/better venues than the coliseum? i love it but edc has outgrown that place. it was fun, but i woulda have had an even better time if i was able to get on the floor w/ my other friends.

and to add one more thing, this was my 5th EDC in a row, coming all the way from el paso, texas. every year it has gotten bigger and better and i've always been happy about that. but if next year edc is going to continue to go more mainstream, and have more horrid electro/hip-hop/rap influence, i will strongly consider going somewhere else next year. maybe you could have at least one stage on either one of the days that has techhouse/minimal??? even if its the smallest stage at EDC, i would be beyond excited

Yeap. The Empire Polo Fields. They had over 225,000 at this years Coachella.

i guess one over all advantage to shitty music being played in the coloseum is that all the "better" artist playing at other stages. I would have been pissed to not be able to see Sasha IF he played in the coloseum.

Like someone mentioned, everyone wants to be in the coloseum regardless of the music. Keep all the crap (djs and crowd) in one place.

I think that because of all the bad press EDC is getting, some venues might not want to work with Insomniac because of the liability of minors.

i heard awhile back that the coliseum and surrounding area was up for sale, what ever happened with that? why doesn't insomniac just buy the damned place? i'm sure they can afford it

Yup. Plenty of room at Sasha. Actually, was surprised to by how empty it was.

thats a good point, there are probably a lot of red flags right now for anyone insomniac might try to work with on another venue. i'll keep my fingers crossed that they might actually have to make these events 18+. i think that would pretty much solve all the problems of over crowding and stampeding the gates. i'm sure ticket prices would be likely to go way up though if they cut out all the money the kids would bring in. i'd be willing to pay more if it meant no little kids, less over crowding and hopefully less electro.

That second main stage is X2 size of the coliseum.

why not make it the main stage like MM?

Originally posted by sako487 why not make it the main stage like MM?

Was there really a main stage? People just have it in their mind that the Coliseum floor is the place to be even though there was much better/bigger DJs elsewhere for most of the day. Same thing happened at MM. They closed the Sports Arena off early because that's the "main" area in everyone's mind.
