Everlast in Woodstock 99?
Everlast in Woodstock 99?
Woodstock '99 Line-Up Takes Shape As a three-day-long festival, Woodstock allows for a plethora of bands spanning multiple musical genres the chance to play in front of hundreds of thousands weary, chemically altered souls. But until the event kicks off the weekend of July 23-25 in Rome, N.Y., the talent line-up should be written in pencil. For one, despite reports elsewhere, Marilyn Manson and Guns n' Roses will not be performing. "Marilyn Manson needs to be in the dark," according to a source close to the band. "It's pointless to see Marilyn Manson in the daytime. Without a guarantee that they can play in the dark, there's no point in playing the show." G n' R, according to the same source, simply won't have an album ready for
release in time for the festival. Counting Crows, also reported to be on the bill, are not scheduled to play.Artists expected to participate in Woodstock '99, in alphabetical order, include: Aerosmith, Bush, Chemical Brothers, Creed, Sheryl Crow, DMX, Everlast, Fatboy Slim, John Fogerty, Hole, Ice Cube, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Live, Los Lobos, Metallica, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rusted Root, Sugar Ray and the Tragically Hip. Artists still on the fence include Brian Setzer Orchestra, Collective Soul, Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters, Jewel and the Offspring.
Last minute additions will undoubtedly alter the line-up, with electronica artists Underworld, for one, still mulling an offer to play the festival. A press conference scheduled for next Thursday (April 8) should bring much of the morphing line-up into final focus. Stay tuned for details.

Everlast is co-headlining the year's largest one-day rock 'n' roll event; Hard Rock RockFest, with 11 of modern rock's hottest acts. "The Ultimate Live Concert Event of 1999" takes place Saturday, June 5th, at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, and is expected to draw over 150,000 people!Everlast/Danny Lohner Song Similar To Colorado Horror
In the wake of the Columbine High School shootings, Everlast is a bit wary of releasing a song he and Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails recently recorded which is eerily similar to the tragedy in Littleton, Colo. (allstar, April 21). "The song is about a kid raised with guns and he ends up killing some kids at school... I'm now hesitant," Everlast told Los Angeles alternative radio station KROQ Thursday (April 22) morning on the Kevin & Bean show.
Everlast said that he hopes there's a good amount of time between the Tuesday (April 20) horror and when the song is actually released, which is still undetermined. He described the project with Lohner, NIN's guitarist, as a "Nine Inch Nails thing with guest vocalists." The one track was recorded earlier this year (allstar, Jan. 6). -- Carrie Borzillo
