The Official Bonnaroo 2009 Coachella Board thread

[Monroe]

Yeah, you're right, the lineup will help. Although the KISS pic gives me some inspiration - electric TIGER costume, with different colored EL wire for the stripes!

[sbessiso]

Holy Cow that sounds right up my alley. I mean, WOW that sounds like fun. It reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in Labyrinth, when Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie are at that really trippy Masquerade Ball themselves and theres this beautiful Bowie song playing (the name of it escapes me but it's one of my favorites!). It seems like its tailored made for those of us who'll be tripping ballz

Fuck dude! Thats way too high-tech for me. You're already putting me to shame! I'm a big question mark on the outfits so far. Wings are my plan B. I can always count on them :p

[TommyboyUNM]

And I got post #3,000 in the thread, bitches. :)

[sin213]

lol...way to go tommyboy!

[Backwater]

It seems like its tailored made for those of us who'll be tripping ballz

Yeah, like many things at roo. They definitely cater to us other-consciousness people.

and you just persuaded me to see Labyrinth

[Monroe]

Did you get your ticket for next year yet?

No, not yet. We're going VIP (don't hate me because I'm lazy - the 5 minute walk to and from Centeroo is so worth it to me!) and I need to save a bit more first. But I will definitely be going.

[sbessiso]

By the way, SalahRoo has a new artist addition......

[TommyboyUNM]

lol...way to go tommyboy!


Now if I could only get a life to go along with my great post timing. Haha. I actually should be doing homework right now, believe it or not. Fuck school.

[Backwater]

Fuck school.

+1,000

[TommyboyUNM]

+1,000


Tim, I read where you said you're starting to re-think higher education. I'm hitting the wall too man. I'm starting to wonder why I went back to school. I already have a bachelor's degree, why the FUCK am I going for my master's? Lol. Hopefully I can parlay that into some cash.


Speaking of cash, I got a nice bonus at work today. I'm set for all my music festival adventures and then some.

[sin213]

vegas cash! nice!

[TommyboyUNM]

vegas cash! nice!


Exactly! I'll be pretty comfortable when I'm out there. And I shouldn't have said anything, now you fuckers will hit me up for drinks.

[sbessiso]

SalahRoo is extremely proud and honored to announce its next artist addition. Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for....

TOTO!!!!!!

Seriously, one of the greatest bands ever. "Africa" just might be the Greatest Song of All-Time. No joke.

[sin213]

Exactly! I'll be pretty comfortable when I'm out there. And I shouldn't have said anything, now you fuckers will hit me up for drinks.

it all depends if it lands on black, right? :thu

salah?? :nono

[Backwater]

And I shouldn't have said anything, now you fuckers will hit me up for drinks.

Haha, you won't have to worry about paying for drinks in Vegas though. Those are all on me. You're doing me a huge favor so that's the least I can do.

[sin213]

yeah? you comin too backwater?

[Backwater]

Going to Bonnaroo? Obviously. Vegas? As of last night, Yep!

[canexplain]

Haha, you won't have to worry about paying for drinks in Vegas though. Those are all on me. You're doing me a huge favor so that's the least I can do.

a few people said they would buy me a beer at coachella, it might be worth it just for the beer .....cr****

[TommyboyUNM]

it all depends if it lands on black, right? :thu

salah?? :nono



Lol. ALWAYS bet on black. I'm gonna double my bonus check in a matter of seconds!


And Salah.........yeah.......... :nono

[sin213]

vegas baby! it's gonna be a wild time! there's got to be close to 20 of us by now...

[sbessiso]

I hung out with one of my oldest and best friends tonight, our love of Toto stems back all the way to 9th grade. We were blasting it in his car, and totally decided on getting the "Africa" lyrics tattooed on us. I'm so excited, I really wanna do it too

[TommyboyUNM]

It's looking like mini-Coachella out in Vegas next weekend, but it's also approaching mini-Bonnaroo meetup thread status. I may very well get less than an hour of sleep that night.

[sbessiso]

Fuckers, it seems like Ragey and I are the chopped livah in this scenario

[TommyboyUNM]

Fuckers, it seems like Ragey and I are the chopped livah in this scenario


We've invited you numerous times, Salahboy. And Ragey could've very easily tagged along with Paul. Eat it.


Oh thanks for the sig. Lol.

[sbessiso]

I don't want to come to your party. I'd rather dance to TOTO in my room.

I'll meet you all the way
RosAAAAAAAna

[TommyboyUNM]

What about a Toto cover band on the Sonic Stage? Can we agree to that?

[sin213]

hahahahaha! there's a visual for ya. :dumbo

[sbessiso]

I'm insulted you would even ask that....


I'm SO getting the Africa lyrics tattooed on myself. You'll see!

[sbessiso]

I just talked to my friend and fellow Roo 08 partner and told him what was up in terms of meeting all you guys in Nashville (it is Nashville, right?). I was so worried he was gunna be iffy about it, but he's down! Even better, he says he has tons of people he plans to bring to. Like a two car caravan, this is great news to me because I thought he was kinda relying on me to make plans. I was starting to worry we wouldnt have car space, but things seem to be falling into place. We're gunna take up a big chunk of farm space :pulse

[Backwater]

Awesome. I really hate using the word "epic" but if we plan it out right our campsite will be something like that.

[faxman75]

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this it's not even funny. This thread is great. I think i'm gonna play some online poker in a bit.

[pancakespancakes]

I'm pretty sure this hasn't exactly been brought up yet... but I just wanted to ask all of you Californians, Arizonans, or other-related West Coastians, are you planning on driving or flying this year?

I would really really like to drive out this year, just take a whole week or two off from work, school, and life in general, and explore the country on my way too and from the Roo... but I'm just trying to figure if it's worth it, and more importantly, how long it would take without being behind the wheel 24 hours a day. Have any of you guys done it or are planning to do it this year?

(And here's to hoping gas prices don't skyrocket back to what they were last year)

[faxman75]

I think I would have to fly just because of how long I would have to take off work and I don't think I would have enough time.

[pancakespancakes]

Well... this is a funny coincidence. Just stumbled upon this a minute ago. No new album in the future (still seems possible though, but not for a longass time), but shows will still be played, albeit infrequently.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/morello-don-t-hold-breath-for-rage-album-1003919893.story



We've had a wonderful year and a half of playing shows, and I don't see any reason to not play more shows. The thing is there's only so many hours in the musical day, and mine are very occupied right now.

-Tom Morello on RATM


It's half good news, half bad news for me. I'd be really surprised if they showed up at Roo now though.

[mattpach]

I think it would be amazing to drive,
but with school impossible. My semester ends on the 12th so yeah.... cutting it close.

[faxman75]

I think the Roo needs Wilco. They need to be at one of the fests damn it.

[pancakespancakes]

I think the Roo needs Wilco. They need to be at one of the fests damn it.

Agreed, they seem like such a Bonnaroo act to me. It's very fitting. I think I'd prefer em at Coachella though seeing as they haven't been there since 2005... and they just played Roo in 07.

But HOLY SHIT I was recently thinking of candidates for the late night Which Stage this year, how great would Wilco be pulling off 3 hours?! Obviously they're more Sunday afternoon types than Saturday at 2 AM types... but the idea of an epicly-long fan-favorites-saturated Wilco set sounds really perfect to me. They could definitely pull something really special off, one of those all-time shows to remember.

[faxman75]

Ha what would be very fucking awesome. I would also like to see Nels participate in the all star jam.

[pancakespancakes]

I think it would be amazing to drive,
but with school impossible. My semester ends on the 12th so yeah.... cutting it close.

I graduated from high school last year on Thursday afternoon, and by Friday afternoon, I was at the Roo. It all happened so fast, it was pretty incredible. That's the technology of flight for ya, haha.

Luckily this year I get out of school in mid-May. But I might have some other academics to take care of over the summer. I sure hope not...

[pancakespancakes]

Ha what would be very fucking awesome. I would also like to see Nels participate in the all star jam.

Yeah Nels plays with soooo many different artists, he's just Mr. Collaborator. He's got like 50-some odd albums to his name and they're rarely with the same person twice. So I would be surprised if he didn't... he really should have in 2007!

Thats cool. My quarter ends on the 12th so I am hoping to plan around it so I don't have finals the day before because I have to move all my stuff home to Los Angeles.

Yeah I might have to go to summer school to stay on target and I am really trying to avoid that.

[faxman75]

Calexico is another band that is a necessity at either fest. I can see them at both and fitting in perfectly.

[mattpach]

I totally like the idea of Wilco at either fest.

[pancakespancakes]

Calexico is another band that is a necessity at either fest. I can see them at both and fitting in perfectly.

It really amazes they've never played Coachella. I think I brought that up in the Calexico Thread a while ago. But seriously, not to get off topic, it's a travesty!

At Bonnaroo they seem a bit less-fitting, but it would still be awesome. Their worldy vibes would fit in really well. Definitely a sweet Saturday or Sunday This Tent act.



I totally like the idea of Wilco at either fest.

The one thing about Wilco at Coachella is the dang hour-long set... they really should never play less than 1 1/2 hours in my opinion.

[faxman75]

agreed and for some reason their set in 05 really disappointed me. They were the main reason I went to my first coachella.

[pancakespancakes]

Well I've actually seen the setlist, and it really kicks ass seeing as how they played my all-time favorite Wilco song, At Least That's What You Said, which they pretty much never play... but other than that, yeah I haven't heard much good things about that set. Perhaps they need to redeem themselves, then? As in... once in April, once in June?

[mattpach]

The hour long time slots are really a bummer at coachella at times

[stinkbutt]

Wilco headlined the other stage at Lolla this year

[Blinken]

Nice alot of you are going to Vegas as well. Next weekend is going to be crazy.

[apostle2]

What does everyone think of Bonnaroo trying to get a big name hip hop act again? Was the Kanye debacle this year enough for superfly to back off from the idea, or will the press just fuel it? do you think they would only go out on a limb for a "high character" act like Beastie Boys, or what?

I'm thinking about this because I just watched a bunch of youtube vids and, fuck it, I want to see Eminem...

[paulb]

Beastie Boys at Bonnaroo would be amazing.... them jammin the fuck out... maybe do an instrumental set 1 night.... and an all hip hop set the next day or later in the night or somethin... their keyboardist Money Mark could do another solo set, like he did this year... Mixmaster Mike could do a solo DJ set... lots of possibilities....Quasar....the boys do an all hardcore set.... Country Mike....Bboys performing their country material live for the first time..... they are so diverse...i wanna see them there.

I'm all for it... but the thing is, there's a pretty limited list of hip hop acts that could do it as major headliners, a la Kanye. I think Jay-Z is probably the big one, and then obviously, Outkast would fucking destroy at Roo (much more so than Coachella methinks). That's really all I got, not including Beastie Boys, who I never really think of as hip hop... anyone else would be great, but would be subheadliners and thus probably a tent act...

And no, I would really really not like it if Eminem showed up. Maybe I would mind a little bit less if he was at Coachella instead... but seriously, even though I could easily avoid him, he would really be stinkin up the place. :(

[apostle2]

yeah, Eminem wouldn't actually ever be at bonnaroo. that doesn't change the fact that I would like to see him at least once though.

Not even trying to get paul more into it, I think there is a great chance that the Beasties are the next big one at Roo

[pancakespancakes]

I agree actually, I have no reason for believing it but I can really feel that one. As much as I'm still holding onto the idea of Outkast making a Bonnaroo appearance this year, which would be one of the most brilliant moves this year, Beastie Boys just seem like a great fit to me. They'd be a perfect like 4th-billed act.

[sin213]

i like how you think. ;)

[Backwater]

Never say never about Eminem. Yeah, it's unlikely but you never know. After last year's lineup I'd say all beats are off on the crazy, random headliners.

[faxman75]

If that cracker is there i'm boycotting all together.

[Backwater]

Harsh faxy, harsh. He's a wigger, not a cracker. Show some respect.

[sin213]

he'd be better than kanye. and kanye's already gotten a shot, don't see why eminem wouldn't either.

[Backwater]

Well I can see where aposte and others are coming from in thinking that he would never play there. The difference is Kanye is safe and predictable whereas Eminem's music is very hateful and violent. I don't think Superfly would want to spread those vibes throughout their fest.

[sin213]

i hear what you're saying with that...

[faxman75]

he'd be better than kanye. and kanye's already gotten a shot, don't see why eminem wouldn't either.


Well, I can't argue with that. Fortunately these festivals have multiple stages. :)

[faxman75]

The dank buds for Vegas are IN. This shit is getting me so stoned right now. It's called Af-Maui Sativa. I'll be getting a fresh batch next Friday plus some new strain called Fool's God that she said is even better. Prepare to get blazed in Vegas. I love California.

I'm preparing and looking forward to it very much. That's sorta what sucks about flying. I can't take my own buds with me (though I'm sure you get much better out in Cali). I guess I could try to smuggle, but it's just not worth it to me.

[Backwater]

Hell no, not worth it at all man. Don't worry, I'll have it covered. i'm so stoned as i'm typing this ...

[sbessiso]

OF MONTREAL

LATE-NIGHT SET

BONNAROO 2009

make it happen

[apostle2]

how about a late night Elephant 6 showcase with OTC > of Montreal > Neutral Milk Hotel? Impossible? Yes. Awesome?

[Backwater]

The hipsters are coming out of the closets.

[sbessiso]

You know, there weren't nearly as many hipsters as I thought there would be, Teeyum. Whenever we went to the balcony, that place was littered with them but otherwise it was tons of people like us. People who just came to party.

You guys last night's show was one of the greatest spectacles I have ever witnessed with my own two eyes. Remember, I had never heard not one Of Montreal song so I was totally green going in. Everything about it was perfect! It was just this mind blowing combination of catchy pop, crazy dance party, insane psychedelic jam outs. There were skits and costume changes and props galore. Feathers and glitter everywhere, a screen with cool images, naked boys galore. More costume changes. The crowd just ate it all up, it was just such a party. What I saw last night was a Bonnaroo late-night set waiting to happen, please trust me on this.

[TommyboyUNM]

The hipsters are coming out of the closets.


How about an Animal Collective late-night set in That Tent? Woo.

[TommyboyUNM]

You know what Salah, I would probably check out an Of Montreal late-night set barring a bad conflict. If MMJ is playing late-night, I won't be checking out any other group at that time. I'm not familiar with Of Montreal's music all that much, but it looks like it could be a fun time. I had a good time watching CSS at Coachella last year and that's not necessarily "my type" of music. So Of Montreal.....why the fuck not.

Oh and check your PM.

[rage patton]

Actually, I could definately see Animal Collective at Bonnaroo.

[pancakespancakes]

I wouldn't mind seeing Of Montreal, but I'm not the biggest fan of their music. I hear they're pretty shnazzy live and I think they'd fit in nice at the Roo. I don't know about a late night set though...


How about an Animal Collective late-night set in That Tent? Woo.

YES. YES.



Actually, I could definately see Animal Collective at Bonnaroo.

It's definitely their year. I'm hoping for it.

[sbessiso]

This HAS to be at night pancakes. Late-night because its one of the most amazing psychedelic/dance party shows i've ever been to

[bmack86]

It'd be hard. They HATED playing coachella and Barnes told me that they didn't really want to do big festivals after that. They don't have as much control over their production and they have more time restrictions. That having been said, they went all out at Pitchfork Fest. It was definitely the weirdest show I've ever seen from them. One of the girls crowd surfed with a giant bowl full of pudding which she hand-fed to the audience, and a ninja hung really long fishing poles covered in glitter-filled balloons over the audience and hit them with darts so that they'd cover us in glitter. And they played football onstage, AND they did The Past Is A Grotesque Animal for 1/4 of their set time.

[sbessiso]

Ah yes, but you forget Bryan that this is Bonnaroo. The Roo can give them the set times that they want/need as well as the creative control/freedom to pull of the giant production.

= Amazing late-night show! Not some weird in the middle of the day slot like Coachella 07.

[Backwater]

Animal Collective would get bottled at Bonnaroo.

[sbessiso]

:pulse Bagwodda Teeyum

[rage patton]

Animal Collective would get bottled at Bonnaroo.

No they wouldn't. I see them as a definately possibility.

[Backwater]

They would get bottled by me and Sbess if nobody else.

[rage patton]

Then to go a different stage. Im sure they will conflict with Umphrees McGee or something like that.

[sbessiso]

We've lost Ragey to The Dark Side.....:(

[Backwater]

I don't care how good of an Ump set I'd be missing. I'd get much more satisfaction out of hurling objects in AC's direction.

[rage patton]

We've lost Ragey to The Dark Side.....:(

I thought you liked Panda Bear? Panda Bear is an Animal Collective side project...


I don't care how good of an Ump set I'd be missing. I'd get much more satisfaction out of hurling objects in AC's direction.

Why didn't you skip Kraftwerk/Portishead to throw shit at AC at Cochella then?

By the way, make up your mind on an avatar!

[Backwater]

First of all, I'm joking.
Secondly, Kraftwerk and especially Portishead >>>>>>>> Ump

[rage patton]

Fine. STS9 and Animal Collective will coflict.

[paulb]

lol...so Josh, 100% going now?

[Backwater]

STS9 vs. AC? Eh, I think I'd still go for the bottling. I wish I was at Reading for the G-Unit one. That looked like fun.

buWgRoPoe0s

That video is hilarious. I've watched it many times before?

Why the hate for Animal Collective though? Even before I joined this board, I had a couple friends always telling me I should listen to them... but I have always ignored them. I just listened to Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam the other day, and I loved it. I can see people not liking them, but I can't imagine why you hate them so much.

[Backwater]

You shouldn't take everything I say so literally man. I'm just exaggerating because people on this board hold them in such ridiculously high regard (the most important band of the decade.) It's just not for me at all, way too goofy and annoying.

[rage patton]

I definately don't think they are the most important band of the decade haha... but I have found I quite enjoy their music. They are definately an influential band, as far as "indie" bands go. I'm sure you know what I mean. I am also sure you can see that it isn't TOO big of a stretch of the imagination to see Animal Collective at Bonnaroo.

[TommyboyUNM]

You shouldn't take everything I say so literally man. I'm just exaggerating because people on this board hold them in such ridiculously high regard (the most important band of the decade.) It's just not for me at all, way too goofy and annoying.


Yup. And, for the record, I was kidding about Animal Collective. I don't like them at all. And I have listened to them.

Sorry dude. I bet that makes you wanna kick your avatar.

[pancakespancakes]

Hey some people that occasionally wander into this thread are kinda in love with Animal Collective.... not "band of the decade" in love, but "one of the bands of the decade" in love :D. Haha but like em or not they are a perfect fit at the Roo, day or night. It's nothing to be worried over, it's not like they're that big; it's just fact. If they are indeed touring significantly in 09 I definitely can see them showing up in the That Tent.

As for Of Montreal.... you got me sbessio, that's a perfect late night tent slot. I'm actually pretty bummed I've never caught them live, I have had several chances that I blew off. I actually listened a bit to "Hissing Fauna" again today out of curiosity and it really got me rethinking them. So I'm all for their Roo '09 appearance now.

[sbessiso]

Animal Collective should play noon on sunday if they're booked

[pancakespancakes]

Animal Collective should play noon on sunday if they're booked

Ohhhh would I EVER rise early for that piece of ass.

Hell they should play 9 AM for that matter!

[TommyboyUNM]

As much as I don't like Animal Collective, I have to agree with pancakes. They would fit Roo. I may check them out for a song out of curiosity, but that's about it.

[rage patton]

Sorry dude. I bet that makes you wanna kick your avatar.

Almost. I am pretty shocked. It would still turn out to be cheaper then if I waited to get those $249.50 tickets though. Althought, if the Canadian dollar is up by late January... probably not by much. But atleast I don't have to deal with Bonnaroo AND Coachella tickets at the same time.

[paulb]

you wont regret it man.... this is gonna be great!

[faxman75]

So when do we get a lineup for this bullshit? :)

[sbessiso]

Late January/Early February :)

[faxman75]

Thanks Salah....here I am, yet another day conteplating the ifs. I still want to save the $40.

If Wilco announces another Winter Residency in February this year, I have to fly to chicago to see it. I suppose it's possible I could still afford that as well. Hmm.

[sbessiso]

Man, I remember when you went to those Wilco shows. How many did you see? Was it as amazing as it sounds? I just love that idea of bands burning through all their songs. I've had this fantasy of Beck/The White Stripes doing it since high school. Beck I don't see happening, but the white stripes for sure.

If I remember correctly, Coachella and Bonnaroo were announced on the same day in 2006....

[faxman75]

I only went to the first night but they played 5 nights. It was so great and the fucked up thing is I saw so many great shows this year I can't even say that was the best one. It was the first one of the year and it was such a great show and very memorable though. From waiting outside to get in when it was 8 degrees outside to nice and long
over 2 hour set. I saw them next at Lollapalooza.

I would have no issues with Beck and the White Stripes. In fact that would make me quite happy. Wilco is probably my favorite band.

[SoulDischarge]

I think that payment plan option just sealed my fate on this festival.

[rage patton]

Animal Collective are doing a North American Tour in May/June. I think this increases their chances significantly. Sorry Backwater.

[pancakespancakes]

This thread was really neglected today. Langerado provided the distraction.

Langerado embarassed itself today. Let's hope Roo goes better than that. Does anyone think the Langerado lineup will have an impact on Bonnaroo?

If Wilco announces another Winter Residency in February this year, I have to fly to chicago to see it. I suppose it's possible I could still afford that as well. Hmm.

Wilco = Theatre, soon............

[sin213]

Langerado embarassed itself today. Let's hope Roo goes better than that. Does anyone think the Langerado lineup will have an impact on Bonnaroo?

nah, they're just securing one last big band before releasing the lineup. not sure i'd want to go to miami though. no offense salah. lol. if i were to go to the east coast, it'd be for the 'roo.

[JSam67]

Langerado embarassed itself today. Let's hope Roo goes better than that. Does anyone think the Langerado lineup will have an impact on Bonnaroo?

No. I'm guessing Langerado had one or two upper tier bands drop. That lineup is probably not going to impress me too much tomorrow, just guessing. Bonnaroo and Coachella already have their major acts ready to roll, I'm sure. I never worry about those two.

[JSam67]

Oh, and just for Salah, this is from when The White Stripes and The Flaming Lips played the Aragon together on New Year's Eve a few years ago. I can't watch the video (work) but I don't think the sound is spectacular, but still, you get the idea...

JqcG62l_fls

[rage patton]

The White Stripes and The Flaming Lips at the same show... on New Years Eve!?!?!?!?!? Not fair.

I REALLY hope The Flaming Lips come back and play another late night set this year. With the release of Christmas On Mars and it soundtrack, as well as an album slated for Spring/Summer 09... I see them as a definate possibility.

[JSam67]

Seconded. I need me some FLips this year, but not at Coachella. At Bonnaroo, where time constraints need not apply.

[rage patton]

If the Flaming Lips are at Coachella this year, they need to have a 2 hour headlining set. Since that isn't going to happen, FLips for Roo 09!

[sbessiso]

JSam, we could make another attempt at our Flip for the FLips!

[JSam67]

Like I would have it any other way!

Roo '09: The Dead/Phish/The Cure/Outkast/Flaming Lips/MMJ

[sbessiso]

You're forgetting one other act......

[JSam67]

Good Lord. I'm telling you Salah, KISS is one of my five least favorite bands of all-time. Right up there with Def Leppard and Nickelback. I'd even prefer (gasp) Primus to KISS.

Off-topic for a second... What's the deal with scoop49er or whatever? There's no chance this guy has inside information. Claiming Langerado is going after Prince? Telling us the Roo is trying for KISS and/or AC/DC? Posting that the top 3 Coachella headlining possibilities are Paul McCartney, Coldplay and The Killers? Who is this guy?

I just wanted to vent, sorry. I think you and I have as much inside info as scoop, Salah.

[sbessiso]

I felt that way at first, like he was pissing me off. But yesterday he was really funny on here and we made plans to be glittery for The Killers :pulse I don't think he has any inside scoop either, thats just utter nonsense

I really dont understand how you can prefer Primus to KISS. Thats such a fucked up statement!! I really wish I knew how to work some of these programs and make a decent realistic looking fake poster. How funny would it be if the interwebz really start considering KISS after that?


p.s.-I'm listening to YYY's "Show Your Bones" and the 2006 memories are so powerful, it's a little overwhelming. I listen to this and not only am I back at Coachella but all the days leading up to it to. This makes me remember being in the parking lot of this grocery store I worked at, I would hide my ipod while collecting carts. This band would MURDER at Bonnaroo

[Backwater]

Ah, for me, hearing a YYYs song brings me right back to Lollapalooza '07. They blew me away that day, I've been jonesing for them ever since. I was sooo close to the stage, and fell madly in love with Karen O. I would LOVE to see them at the Roo!

Sometimes I think that I'm bigger than the sound!

[Backwater]

I realize that you're upset about this Langerado nonsense and understandably so. Hopefully when the lineup eventually gets released it will be pretty good. There's no reason to compare Primus and Kiss anyway, they're too completely different styles of music.

[sbessiso]

It sounds like we had similar experiences. We were at mainstage watching Sleater-Kinney and really enjoying ourselves, but I wasnt prepared for what happened afterwards. Tons of people left after SK and we just PUSHED to the front, I never intended or expected to get so close. I would say maybe as close as we were for Racs, perhaps. But yeah, massive :pulse for Karen O, one of the best sunset shows i've seen, and one of the best Coachella shows i've ever experienced. I love all 3 members, Nick is an underrated guitaritst and their drummer is excellent. Karen looked so beautiful against the orangey sky. I was gone when she deepthroated that mic (during ART STAR no less!!!), it made nipples vibrate.

Done, all alone
I’ve got a call from the bear
Gonna take all its honey honey!!

[aynalehcar]

i got my ticket!

[JSam67]

Nice work, anal chair, welcome to the BonnaCrew!

Salah, I was as close for YYYs as we were (originally) for the FLips in Des Moines. Yeah, sooo close. The drummer owns, as well as the guitarist. I'd love a late night set from them, actually, but that's just wishful thinking.

[matsuolost]

what a great set that was
and for me the album brings me back to the days after coachella. damn good days

[paulb]

hopefully YYY are at Bonnaroo.... that would make my girlfriend happy.

[sbessiso]

YES ANAL CHAIR YES!!! Just hop into the discussion and don't worry about the past 104 pages :)

Josh, there's no reason to believe that the YYY won't be at Coachella. The album is supposedly due out in 2009 and you know what that means. If this is true then they WILL be doing dates and most likely festivals, it's just a matter of which ones. I'd like to think Roo since they've never been there

[JSam67]

Me too. Somewhere somebody posted that they really want to play Coachella this year but that GV is trying to get bands that haven't played before, or something? I don't know, as far as 2006 subheadliners go, that would eliminate many that I'm hoping show up at Chella (Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Franz, YYYs, Massive Attack...).

In which case, bring them to the damn Roo! I know Franz and SR played last year, but YYYs and Massive Attack (Massive late night set FTW) would really put the Roo over the top for me.

[sbessiso]

Yeah, I made a typo, I meant Bonnaroo all the way.

[paulb]

someone wrote this on Inforoo


TOP 10 THAT WILL APPEAR ON THE LINEUP:

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - FRI HEADLINER

BEASTIE BOYS - SAT LATENIGHT WHICH STAGE

DAVID BYRNE & BRIAN ENO - FRI PREHEADLINER

ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - SUN PREHEADLINER

MODEST MOUSE
THE SHINS
BAND OF HORSES
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM
SPIRITUALIZED
FEMI KUTI
ANI DiFRANCO
THE POLYPHONIC SPREE
GUSTER
FLEET FOXES
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

That would be a pretty sick Bonnaroo...

[JSam67]

That list is full of win. David Byrne, Arcade Fire, Band of Horses and LCD?! That looks like it's catered to me.

[paulb]

we can only hope that the real Bonnaroo lineup is close to as great as that.

[sbessiso]

OMG THAT IS ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST BONNAROO LINEUP EVER!!!!!



edit

It's so funny, I was looking over that lineup again and my heart stopped at the two Phish shows. It seems highly plausible and for like a second or two I was really worried that tickets were gunna sell out ridiculously fast because of Phish. It took me a moment to remind myself that I already had a ticket!! Geez, it still hasnt even sunk in yet. I'm just so happy

[amyzzz]

I would have to re-think Bonnaroo if that was the lineup. I only moderately like some of those bands, and I don't like any of them A LOT, although The Arctic Monkeys are always fun live.

[pancakespancakes]

That is a really intense lineup. Like, it's a little too good. Haha and the style of writing seriously reminds me of scoop49er... wouldn't be too surprised if that was him. Except, for once, he posts a seriously amazing list. So my hopes are not really that high... but if that was real, I think might actually top last year, which I didn't even think was possible...

[rage patton]

I like that line up Paul posted...Why would Neil Young go from headline to sub though? But yeah... I would care about any of the headlining acts... but the subs and other notables would have me very excited.

Know what would make it better? The Flaming Lips.

[pancakespancakes]

The Flaming Lips aren't going to be there. I would bet all the money in the world. Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, just sayin.

Those headliners are fucking awesome, except maybe the Beasties, but I can understand if you guys don't care for them... it's a little too "dad rock"... but this would be a Roo for the ages. I can't imagine a lineup any better than this.

[pancakespancakes]

Ehhh, I just saw The Black Crowes as the Friday late night Which Stage. That's lame. I guess that gives some reality to this heavenly lineup hahaha.

[faxman75]

My interest is fading. I'm thinking instead of Roo I can take that money and fly to europe if I find some cheap airfare. Roo would have to cost in the $800 range after flying, tickets and expenses.

I'm not out yet though. My interest has gone from about 89% to 48% though. Slipping.

[Backwater]

Why would Neil Young go from headline to sub though?

because bonnaroo has gotten much bigger over the past 6 years (he headlined in 03)

I never even thought about David Byrne and Brian Eno, I would love it if they were there, or even just David. I would be really surprised if QOTSA are not there. Please give them a late night set though and don't have it conflict with Phish. This is kind of left field but an old, classic headliner that I've been thinking is possible would be The Who. Maybe that's just my wishful thinking though.

[rage patton]

I saw The Who in 06 and they were fucking awesome. I would LOVE to see them headline. I really hope you are right about QOTSA too. Modest Mouse is another act I am really hopping to see there. Also, considering Animal Collective are touring May/June... they are pretty much a lock.

[sbessiso]

I stand by my statement, that lineup is one of the best I have ever seen.

[Backwater]

I really hope you are right about QOTSA too.

I know that they've been trying to get them there for years and it just never worked out. Hopefully 09 will finally be their year.

[pancakespancakes]

I really hope for QOTSA too, they are an incredibly great live act. They could be strange at the Roo... but if they play late night, it will work great.

In all honesty, I know this isn't the place to say it, but I would rather them play Coachella if I had to pick. I need to see them in the desert before I die.

[pancakespancakes]

Also, considering Animal Collective are touring May/June... they are pretty much a lock.

Eeeeeeee way to get me so excited!! I hope I'm not let down haha...

[paulb]

Those headliners are fucking awesome, except maybe the Beasties


:eek: fuck you. explain.

[Backwater]

Ahahaha, I was just waiting for that.


My interest has gone from about 89% to 48% though. Slipping.

Just wait til the lineup comes out. It could go up to 100%. What would your dream bonnaroo lineup (within reason) look like?

[paulb]

Wilco headlining all 4 days, then playing a late night set all 4 days, then a Superjam all four days....Wilco DJ set all 4 days..... free Bandana giveaways....

[Backwater]

Hahaha, wilco DJ set

[rage patton]

Wilco headlining all 4 days, then playing a late night set all 4 days, then a Superjam all for days....Wilco DJ set all 4 days..... free Bandana giveaways....

+10

That was hilarious.

[faxman75]

You mutherfucking cocksuckers!

Alright. I'll think on it and be back with about 10 bands or so that I want to be at Bonnaroo.

[faxman75]

The National
Wilco
Calexico
The Flaming Lips
My Morning Jacket
Beck
Arcade Fire
Black Mountain (Late night set)
Cracker
Jenny Lewis (w/ the Watson Twins)
Rodrigo Y Gabriella
The White Stripes

[faxman75]

Wilco headlining all 4 days, then playing a late night set all 4 days, then a Superjam all four days....Wilco DJ set all 4 days..... free Bandana giveaways....

You would think I would have loved lolla since Wilco headlined, Tweedy played solo accoustic on the kids stage and there were tons of bandanas given away. I think I came home with 8.

[TommyboyUNM]

i got my ticket!


Welcome! Sorry that you're known as Anal Chair now. Lol. I blame myself for that one. Feel free to add to the discussion and get hyped with us.

[Backwater]

there were tons of bandanas given away. I think I came home with 8.

Haha, that's almost sig worthy.

07's lineup was amazing and four of the bands on your list were there that year so unfortunately it's kinda doubtful that any of them will be back next year, too soon.I think Black Mountain and Calexico are very likely and MMJ plays almost every year. I guess Arcade Fire is a possibility too.

[faxman75]

I had 2 myspace bandanas and 6 swee leaf tea bandanas. 3 red and 3 white. I live in arizona, they have to acceptable here damn it. I don't apologize for my lack of fashion knowledge. In fact i'm bluntly honest about it. You should see the rest of my wardrobe.

[faxman75]

An Uncle Tupelo reunion would get me there in a heartbeat.

[pancakespancakes]

:eek: fuck you. explain.

Hahahaha I'm sorry I let that out :( No disrespect was intended!

I'm just not a fan, first and foremost; but secondly, that's areally strange choice for an epic late night. Because they're just too famous, and they don't seem right musically. Which is hard to explain... but they just don't fit in with all the other late nights that have so far been held. I've never seen them live so I may very well be wrong. And probably am. Please forgive!

[pancakespancakes]

The National
Wilco
Calexico
The Flaming Lips
My Morning Jacket
Beck
Arcade Fire
Black Mountain (Late night set)
Cracker
Jenny Lewis (w/ the Watson Twins)
Rodrigo Y Gabriella
The White Stripes

This list is fucking awesome. We are definitely on the same page. Not so much a fan of Jenny Lewis and Rodrigo/Gabriela, (and no idea who Cracker is?) but this would still be perfect... throw in Bruce, Phish, The Dead, and/or Neil Young, with the Allmans and Outkast or Jay-Z, and you have got a fucking epic Bonnaroo.

But unfortunatley we will NOT be seeing The Flips (probably), or Arcade Fire (definitely), so I think you might indeed need to reconsider Roo if this is the case... or come up with another list haha

[Backwater]

Why is Arcade Fire a definite no?

[LooseAtTheZoo]

It can't be the Bonnaroo lineup, even if it would be awesome. MMJ isn't listed.

[pancakespancakes]

Why is Arcade Fire a definite no?

I'm no Arcade Fire expert, but they have more or less stated that the band is on hold, touring-wise, for all of 2009. Their new album will be coming but not for a long time, they will probably be writing and recording it this year. There could be a one-off or two, but for Bonnaroo, I really don't see it. It would probably just be charity events or maybe a show in Montreal.

But MissingPerson is the resident Arcade Fire expert on this board, you're better off asking him... he could give you more accurate information.

[Mr. Dylanja]

MissingPerson is a fine Irish woman, Panflake.

[TommyboyUNM]

It can't be the Bonnaroo lineup, even if it would be awesome. MMJ isn't listed.


Yeah even if Radiohead, Tool and Sigur Ros all were announced for 3-hour sets, I would be just slightly disappointed if MMJ wasn't there. Lol.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Yeah even if Radiohead, Tool and Sigur Ros all were announced for 3-hour sets, I would be just slightly disappointed if MMJ wasn't there. Lol.

Tommy, you're the one with the DVDs, correct? When are you going to be sending those out, because I'm still interested...

[pancakespancakes]

MissingPerson is a fine Irish woman, Panflake.

DAMMIT

Sexist for me initially assuming everyone here is male.

[pancakespancakes]

Tommy, you're the one with the DVDs, correct? When are you going to be sending those out, because I'm still interested...

The 2008 has not yet come. We are waiting very very patiently. Unless you mean the 2002-2004 ones.

[TommyboyUNM]

The 2008 has not yet come. We are waiting very very patiently. Unless you mean the 2002-2004 ones.


He means the 2008 DVD. I'm going to figure out how to rip the DVD and make copies. If I can then I'll send them to people. If not then sorry.

[Blinken]

Good Lord. I'm telling you Salah, KISS is one of my five least favorite bands of all-time. Right up there with Def Leppard and Nickelback. I'd even prefer (gasp) Primus to KISS.

Off-topic for a second... What's the deal with scoop49er or whatever? There's no chance this guy has inside information. Claiming Langerado is going after Prince? Telling us the Roo is trying for KISS and/or AC/DC? Posting that the top 3 Coachella headlining possibilities are Paul McCartney, Coldplay and The Killers? Who is this guy?

I just wanted to vent, sorry. I think you and I have as much inside info as scoop, Salah.

He does have some inside info. Remember last year he was keeping us updated on Prince playing before it happened. He has a buddy that works on the crew for Prince and he is a big Prince fan. His buddy was just told that something is happening in Florida in March, not that Prince was performing at Langerado. Prince might be setting up residency in South Beach around that time who knows. About a month before Prince was put on the lineup Scooper's buddy got the call to keep the end of April free for a california date, and that it would be big a show.

everyone calm down

[TommyboyUNM]

FUCK you!!

[apostle2]

I went MIA for a few days due to realizing how close I am to 1,000 posts. Also, I was busy. Any suggestions on what to do for the big 4 digit post spectacular?

[Backwater]

Oh, good. I thought you were offended by my hispster comment.

For your 1,000th you should write about your best bonnaroo experiences and memories. Maybe post some good videos of the best bonnaroo sets that you saw. That way you could maybe help the sway the opinion of people like Faxy who are no longer as interested.

[TommyboyUNM]

I agree with Tim. Whatever you decide to do, though, don't start a thread saying you have 1,000 posts.

[SoulDischarge]

I just made my first payment. Looks like I'm going for better or worse.

Blimey. I did get served. Wasn't Randy callng Prince forever though, too, well before it dropped? Maybe I'm wrong...

I guess it's possible that scoop has some inside information, but answer me this, E-Rock, at which point do we believe "scoop" starts weaving potential facts with boardie-instigated rumors?

[JSam67]

I just made my first payment. Looks like I'm going for better or worse.

Patrick! Bonnaroo!!! No Chicago rooftop shindigs this time around, sadly, but I'm sure we'll manage. Channel your inner Jim James (whom you look remarkably like) to assure me of a late night set from The Cure. I'll bring the black fingernail polish (not really....








...but probably :thu)

[faxman75]

What chicago rooftop shindig were you at? Was it for lolla or no?

[Blinken]

Blimey. I did get served. Wasn't Randy callng Prince forever though, too, well before it dropped? Maybe I'm wrong...

I guess it's possible that scoop has some inside information, but answer me this, E-Rock, at which point do we believe "scoop" starts weaving potential facts with boardie-instigated rumors?

Randy was calling Led Zep too. Scoop had the info to back it up though.

I think that he mixes everything he hears together, so some real some bullshit. He seems to give us every tidbit he hears with no filter on it and let us make up our minds on it. It is very hard to seperate facts from the shit we stir up since some rumors start here on the board. If there one person here that I take seriously it is "scoop" especially after Prince.

So what is up with that Bonnaroo lineup posted a few pages back?

[sbessiso]

OMG, black nail polish didnt even cross my mind. JSam, I like your style, which is why you're Vice-President of Team Awesome.

[JSam67]

VP? Hmmm... While flattered, I'm going to mull over a better cabinet title while on a smoke break...

[paulb]

VP? Hmmm... While flattered, I'm going to mull over a better cabinet title while on a smoke break...

Yes, please do. It's a tentative title, but at least it tells you how much power you actually have in this group.

And that DVD actually looks really lame :( I was expecting something different

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I think I might just have to buy that DVD. It looks sweet.

[sbessiso]

I was expecting more performances and it being like a documentary-type thing

[TommyboyUNM]

I was expecting the DVD to be more of a documentary thing too. And I wish they would've picked something like "One Big Holiday" or "Run Thru" for MMJ, but it'll be cool to watch.

Oh and Paul. "Fade To Black" FTW. That and "One" were my two favorite songs of the evening.

[pancakespancakes]

Wow this is kind of a disappointment. I was expecting a lot more than this. There are so many artists they aren't featuring! And there song choices are really not good either. I guess I should at least be glad they have BSS, but they chose their all-time worst song. Oh well... maybe the footage will make up for this crappy preview.

[MissingPerson]

But MissingPerson is the resident Arcade Fire expert on this board, you're better off asking him...

Well, that makes literally everyone on the internet that thinks I'm a dude.

I'm gonna have to put a skirt on my avatar or something.

[Mr. Dylanja]

MissingPerson is a fine Irish woman, Panflake.

I had your back, MPeezy!

[MissingPerson]

When the revolution comes, we'll look back kindly on this day, Dylanja.

Even if you are a big weird horse lovin' freak.

Bonnaroo Tier 1 tix are sold out,

so much for the economy holding back ticket sales. Line up isnt even announced for that. I hope coachella does a pre line up sale at discount.

[amyzzz]

It took more than 10 minutes though.

[TommyboyUNM]

It took more than 10 minutes though.


Tier 1 sells out in 1 minute during the regular sale.

[amyzzz]

WAIT A MINUTE. They will still have Tier 1 in the REGULAR ON-SALE in Feb?? I am so confused by all this ticket nonsense.

[paulb]

im glad i got my tix...

[pancakespancakes]

WAIT A MINUTE. They will still have Tier 1 in the REGULAR ON-SALE in Feb?? I am so confused by all this ticket nonsense.

Yeah, but only like 1 in 100 will actually get them. Everyone scrambles to score the first tier the second it all goes onsale but it just comes out to luck-of-the-draw. You're more than likely going to end up with the second tier no matter what.

[amyzzz]

Well, at least there's some hope.

[canexplain]

well no one made a single comment on my post , so i will post it here since it is a baby bonnaroo ..... Wakarusa is ON!!!!!! it going to be in a really beautiful part of Arkansas ... i know the jokes, i lived there for 4 years two different times .... in the mountains, by water again .... yeepee ..... cr****

[sbessiso]

I would like Wakarusa, but Rothbury is looking mighty tempting

[amyzzz]

Good for you, Ron!

[faxman75]

Oh Noes! So if I buy tickets now they are going to cost a whole $10 more than they did yesterday?

Wait so Waka is the same weekend as Bonnaroo?? That mean you are not coming to the Roo with us Ron?

[Backwater]

No, Wakarusa is the weekend before, June 4-7. Ron can still go to bonnaroo if he wants. waka is even closer to bonnaroo now so that's a plus. The drive to TN wouldn't be bad at all.

Oh ok, ConsequenceOfSound.net had it as the same dates. I just checked the real Waka site and you are right.

[sbessiso]

Tim, we should hit Rothbury

[Backwater]

Believe me, if I had the money I would love to go to Rothbury, no matter what the lineup looks like. My friends who went last year won't shut the fuck up about it, and you guys think I talk about bonnaroo a lot. You have no idea. I'm saving up to go to Europe to visit my friend in Austria and go to one big fest, probably either Roskilde or Glasto. I also want to go to Amsterdam. I could see myself blowing so much money in Europe.

[sbessiso]

Well, I was partially kidding. I won't have the $$ to go in 2009 but I DO wanna go one year. All i'm hearing is amazing things about it, I want to talk to someone who went. You do your EuroTrip homeboy. With my tentative Glasto2010, I don't think Rothbury will happen for a few years for me

[JSam67]

I don't know much about Rothbury, but I know it DID have the single worst lineup I've ever seen last year, and it's in fucking Michigan, so I'll pass.

Rooooooooooooo

[sbessiso]

Bonna-what??

[Backwater]

I don't know much about Rothbury, but I know it DID have the single worst lineup I've ever seen last year

Sorry but you are crazy. They didn't have the best headliners but so what? That lineup was awesome. I realize that jambands aren't your thing but that's such a ridiculous thing to say, especially when there's so many festivals with terrible lineups.

Dave Matthews
Widespread Panic
Thievery Corporation
Trey Anastasio
Snoop Dogg
Primus
Modest Mouse
Gov't Mule
STS9
Rodrigo y Gabriela
The Black Keys
MMV
Hart and Kimock
Of Montreal
Atmosphere
Mike Gordon
Zappa plays Zappa
Crystal Method
Greyboy Allstars
Sage Francis

God damnit! Why didn't I go last year?!?!

[sbessiso]

I would've been excited to see John Mayer too :X

Tim, I would have only seen these bands, and a lot of them are maybes, while half of them I've already seen.

[Backwater]

I would've been excited to see John Mayer too :X

He's not a bad guitarist at all.

Oh and 3/4 of Phish was there. The two I listed plus Jon. They played a couple little reunion sets. I heard both of which were great, not suprisingly.

[sbessiso]

His music live is NOTHING like what you get on CD. I bet his set killed.

It's funny, my friend wanted to go to this but we were like "No fucking way!". I was already committed to Bonnaroo and the idea of traveling to MI for this was ridiculous. Plus it was the inaugural year, so I had no idea it was going to be this massive success

[Backwater]

Next year people won't be able to get away with half of this shit they did this year, regarding the drugs and overall partying craziness. Security will be beefed way up. I really wish I went last year.

[sin213]

why do you say that?

[JSam67]

Why do you say this re: security, Bayyack Wadda TeeYum?

Also, yes, I have seen John Mayer. Took smoke breaks during the teenybopper pop shit, but for 70% of the show, I was lucky enough to hear some of the greatest blues guitar work I've ever heard.

[Backwater]

That's what the word is, I'm mostly going by what other people have told me. I guess the locals weren't too fond of all that debauchery and hedonism that took place in their quaint little unsuspecting town.

[sbessiso]

Aww, you've seen John Mayer?! I'm so jealous, he's kinda awesome. I really dug the singles in high school and I love trying to imitate his singing voice. Plus, he's REALLY cute too

[sin213]

nah, that's just people talkin. why do they pick so many jam bands and have so many artists with crazy ass stage shows? for PEOPLE ON DRUGS. ;)

[Backwater]

sin, did you ever hear of Wakarusa 2006? 350+ people were arrested and taken to jail.

[sin213]

nah, i didn't know that. and that festival is still around?? you'd think it'd be abandoned. even if i wasn't smokin, i'd think that was harsh.

[JSam67]

So I just backtracked a few pages to read up on what I've been missing, and have a few thoughts to share with the BonnaCrew:

amyzzz, that lineup doesn't do much for you? Really? I'm not a diehard Bruce, Neil, Phish, Dead, or Black Crowes fan, but are you kidding me? Oh that's right, you hate Arcade Fire. And I know damn well it's because you're obsessed with lead singers' voices. Well, to each their own I suppose, but their live show at Coachella '07 was the most spiritual experience of my entire life. It made me question my prior disbelief in God.

But, and I'm no resident AF expert, I don't believe we'll see them at all this year since they're working on a new album. Thought the same thing about Silversun Pickups this year, though, and they turned up for a couple shows. Bands that loooove playing live have a tendency to pop up for a couple shows every year just for their sheer enjoyment.

Plus, that lineup has a tremendous undercard. Believe me, if the Bonnaroo lineup looks 1/4 that good, I'll be thrilled.

faxman, I like your top 10 Bonnaroo 09 hopeful list. Based on the music you listed, I'm curious, how familiar are you with Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes? I would think they'd be right up your alley.

Blink, maybe scoop has some scoop. Maybe. But I will never give him credit for anything. When you casually drop by and list every possible band that could reasonably appear at a fest, then a good percentage show up, in no way do you deserve any props, imo. And Randy had Prince, Portishead and Zeppelin for a long period of time. Pretty damn close, really.

I'm incredibly disappointed in that DVD. I expected so much more.

Salah, black fingernails for The Cure. Not even joking. And yes, I wanted to finish this monster post in the gayest possible way.

[amyzzz]

I have also heard tons of good stuff about Rothbury. When we went to APW, our NY friend who let us stay with him WOULD NOT SHUT UP about how amazing Rothbury was. We were going on and on about Coachella and he was going on and on about Rothbury. He related how beautiful the art and decorations were and how there was this tunnel dug into the ground that you could go in...all these really amazing things going on peripheral to the music that would have made for an excellent acid trip ALONG WITH THE MUSIC. It sounded like a great time.

Yes, JSam, I am kind of obsessed with singers. That's what happens when one grows up singing in choirs all the time. :) I understand voice much more than I understand any instruments, so although I really like guitars and piano and whatever other instruments, I don't understand it as much since I don't play anything.

[apostle2]

I'm too lazy to make a giant celebratory entry and I want to resume normal posting, so I'm just going to blow my four digit wad thusly:

Girl Talk - Bonnaroo '07
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2TSUnWEa_9A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2TSUnWEa_9A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>


Not the best Bonnaroo video in the world. But, if you wait and pause it at exactly 6:03, you can see me in all my sweaty glory belting out an epic Bonnaroo cry. Black guy with the bandana, to his left there is a girl in a gray tank top with a ponytail leaning over the rail, directly behind her with my arm on the rail, that's me. I've lost 40 pounds since then, but the ample gut only provided a more righteous bellow.

[paulb]

congrats on hitting 1000 posts in the Bonnaroo thread.... Id like to see Girl Talk live one day....his show looks like a blast.... I dig the mashups too. People on Inforoo are thinkin Justice will be there, late night, since they have not played the fest... that would be really cool.... a LIVE set would be nice.... but those seem retired at the moment.

OMG KISS ARE TOURING IN 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!



http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/kiss-making-first-album-since-1998-1003921442.story


Following its 35th anniversary tour, which primarily played Europe this summer, Kiss is expected to hit North America at some point in 2009.

I saw fleeth foxes twice in one day at Sasquatch last year and I'm missing something because they bored the shit out of me. I watched one and a half of their sets before I GTFO. I don't know enough about band of horses yet. I need to give them a listen.

[apostle2]

I can't believe Kiss went from a sal pipe dream to now inch by inch becoming a semi possible long shot. Except not really.

Hey fax, I don't know if I missed this a couple pages ago, but why is the roo interest waning? any particular reason, or is it a post-ticket no line up letdown?

[Blinken]

I can't believe Kiss went from a sal pipe dream to now inch by inch becoming a semi possible long shot. Except not really.



Yeah I don't know what to think. . . . .

[Mr. Dylanja]

If Salahroo really happens, I'm not going....

[Blinken]

But I already bought my ticket. It better not be Salahroo.

[amyzzz]

What is Salahroo again besides KISS?

[apostle2]

Billy Idol, Toto, White Stripes, Reba/Dolly of the top of my head. Mostly remember because every single selection has been widely discussed...haha

[amyzzz]

Toto? haha, I remember liking them in the 80's. I like Salahroo if just for The White Stripes.

[sbessiso]

You guys, how fucking funny would it be if KISS played Bonnaroo. I mean, I just may die from laughter/excitement! It went from them doing absolutely NOTHING to having a fully planned out new year. I'm not saying it's gunna happen but it's sure as hell more possible than it was a few weeks ago :D

And the white stripes are NOT at SalahRoo, get your shit together please (They're at SalahChella!)




SalahRoo

The Cure~KISS~NineInchNails~My Morning Jacket
The Black Keys~Weird Al~Dolly Parton~Tenacious D~Meat Loaf~YeahYeahYeahs~Billy Idol~ToTo


Amy, "Africa" is probably the greatest song ever written/recorded and I want to get the lyrics tattooed on me
