They still had one album left on their contract with Jive records when Big Boi put out his first solo album. Jive wouldn't allow Andre 3k to appear on that album because it was being released on another label. I believe the issue has ben resolved.
I don't know why people think that if RHCP plays, you're somehow obligated to see them (like you would be at, say, Bonnaroo). Every year there's at least one headliner at Coachella that appeals to the KROQ crowd (RHCP, Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Jack Johnson, whatever). And every year, there's something else really awesome going on during that set. Last year, both Explosions for the Sky and M83 were on during the Keys. So while I'd hope for a better headliner than RHCP (since Coachella has shown they can pull really cool, diverse headlining acts), I won't really care if the Knife or Underworld or Blur or someone is playing at the same time.
It's not that they suck, it's the lack of effort. It's like if Roo books Avicii this year, I probably wouldn't be interested in any of the alternatives either, but show a little hustle.
I've actually always welcomed the KROQ headliner for the sole purpose of venturing away from the main stage during headlining sets. In fact, I hope we get RHCP for this very reason.
I think everyone here understands that, but if we are getting 3 shiitty headliners (RHCP, Muse, Killers, etc), it'd take a hell of an undercard to convince most of us to pull the trigger on throwing up $$$ on flight, rental car, and in some people's cases a hotel. I will be backing out if those are the 3 headliners. There's no way they're going to top the undercards from last year.
I live in Alabama and if I am going to travel all the way to f'n Cali it needs to be worthwhile for me. The allure of Brochella to me has been the epic headliners that you won't see anywhere else. I'd rather see some huge name like The Stones at Coachella instead of NOLA or ATL because I will be outdoors, no chairs, and I can rage my ass off instead of having people tell me to sit down or whatever at an overpriced arena show.
Seeing Stevie Wonder at Roo '10 is a perfect example of this. There is no way I could throwdown as hard as I did at any other Stevie show without getting kicked out or worse.
So I'm thinking this may mean no AFP, especially if RHCP is one of the headliners.
Meh, I think that could go both ways though.
He says that they wont tour till the RHCP tour is over, but if RHCP and Flea are already at Coachella, then that would be a good warm up rehearsal live gig

I'm super nervous about the Chella headliners. I know everyone around here is all about undercards, but you don't get a lot of chances to see bands in 80k person GA environments, and I'd really like at least one band I'm really pumped about.

I feel the same way. There's nothing like a really great 80k person song-a-long.
