nevermind dah ....cr****

So I take it the e-mail was from last year??

:( :( :( :(

[paulb]

lucky you Faxman, good to hear. I was up at the casino last night, like up 350...i was one hand away of winning to leave...but i lost that hand, and made another stupid bet to follow up....lost 300 in 2 spins... and ended up with 0. I almost had bonnaroo paid for.

Looks like Erykah Badu is confirmed for Bonnaroo...

This is a big big plus for me, she's towards the top of my list of acts to see. The incentive grows...

[Blinken]

This might help convince Ally to go also.

[paulb]

why? cause she is black? racist.

[Blinken]

why? cause she is black? racist.

Well yeah. . . .


Plus Erykah Badu is one of her favorites.

[paulb]

ok cool....Bonnaroo>Coachella, so far.

[faxman75]

I've wanted to see Badu for a while. I just got back from selling the tickets. They were in my hand for less than a minute. That was easy money. Dylan if you are looking to drop a grand, I got you covered. I'll be by later today with tickets.

[Sushov23]

Badu!!!!!, I was jealous when ACL announced her to be playing. I know coachella would never book Badu, fucking hell yeah, Now bring Raphael Saadiq, and let them both be night sets. I will be getting laid at the roo for sure. ALSO ROO KEEP THE HIPSTER WHITE BOY JAMIE LIDELL AWAY.

[TommyboyUNM]

Great find, Pauly! I'm pretty happy about Erykah Badu :) Maybe I'll get to see her perform "Tyrone" with MMJ there? Even if that doesn't happen, I would love to see her perform.

Sushy, so you're going to Roo for sure? When did this happen? I can never keep track of some of you.

[Mr. Dylanja]

If CR**** and Ally are both confirmed, I'll be there.

[Sushov23]

i'm still waiting on lineup, If I like what I see I will have my tickets. I just need a solid top to bottom, with 2-3 bands I really want to see.

[TommyboyUNM]

i'm still waiting on lineup, If I like what I see I will have my tickets. I just need a solid top to bottom, with 2-3 bands I really want to see.


I don't think that's too much to ask. I think it would be good to have you, Sushy, if you don't mind chillin with some of us assholes.

[faxman75]

Asshole.

Looks like Erykah Badu is confirmed for Bonnaroo...

YES!!! I've wanted to see her for a long time now. Ally, are you seeing this?

[Backwater]

I saw local H there a couple years ago

How was it? I LOVE Local H. Their show I saw at the troubadour (same tour I guess) was very good.

[faxman75]

I dunno, they looked kinda depressed about the low turnout. It came off as more of a practice session and he didn't smile much. I ended up leavnig early so I guess it wasn't that good. I've been meaning to pick up their latest album since it got some really great reviews. I would see them again despite that poor performance. I saw them back in Chicago a few times at Metro and that was at the peak of their popularity I think. They rocked a bit harder at those shows and the crowd was way into it.

[allyjoy]

MS. BADU!!!! so excited :thu

[Backwater]

Wow, Phoenix is lame ... no offense. The troubadour was sold out and he brought it, tons of energy.

[Sushov23]

I was thinking, I know there are a lot of haters, but OASIS would be sick at the roo. Actually Oasis would be sick at just about any festival. Also I'm surprised there is so much love her ms. Badu. Bring on Lauryn Hill while we are at it.

[Backwater]

Wyclef Jean is heavily rumored. I don't know about the rest of the Fugees though. Lauryn is irrelevant now, who still cares about her?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I care because a Fugess reunion would be _ _ _ _!!!

[mattpach]

I would love a Fugees reunion

[canexplain]

If CR**** and Ally are both confirmed, I'll be there.

put me and my lady on the bonnacrew :) cr****

[Blinken]

I would love a fugees reunion, too bad Lauryn Hill is a psycho :(

[faxman75]

Wow, Phoenix is lame ... no offense.

None taken. I tell everyone it's a soulless, cultureless pit of burning hell.

[sbessiso]

Salah's enthusiasm for Damon's pic totally cracked me up. He IS really that hot, Salah. I've experienced Damon's hotness live several times. I hope I get to see Blur somewhere this year!

Two peas in a pod, You and I. :winkiss

Also,

YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSS TO BADU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[faxman75]

I would love a fugees reunion, too bad Lauryn Hill is a psycho :(

Word

[Backwater]

Too bad Lauryn Hill hasn't had an album in how long??? Also, too bad the miseducation was overrated as hell.

I'd rather just see Digable Planets again.

[faxman75]

We gotta make a giant fucking flag. Do cell phones work out there so we can find eachother upon arrival?

[Blinken]

Here is a site that keeps track of the clues for 2009
http://www.rpi.edu/~markhm2/rooclues/


What a nice brunch y'all throw. By the way- First Clue for 09 was brought to y'all at the brunch. Anybody catch it?
Info: This is not really a clue in and of itself, but we're a little unsure of what that first clue was, so until/unless we remember I'll leave this up here.
Links: Posted by djjd here, discussion here and in following pages
Guesses: Some speculation that the word "catch" could be a reference to Phish, similar thinking could also lead to Leftover Salmon, Hot Tuna, etc.
Solved: Hey, we don't even know what the actual clue was - of course it's not solved!

gots my shovel, gots some dirt gots some dishes that won't hurt
djjd awakens
Info: We don't think this is really a clue itself either, just our notice of djjd resurfacing and of the fact that he's got some dirt to dish to us. I may take this off the list soon.
Links: Posted by djjd here, discussion here and in following pages
Guesses: We're guessing this doesn't refer to any artists.
Solved: If we're correct, there's nothing to solve!

but someone who is AC/DC isn't in Europe.
Info: AC/DC will be in Europe, so they've been ruled out for the Roo lineup. Thus, we're assuming the reference to Europe isn't crucial here. AC/DC could be slang for bisexual (note that a lot of people think this is unlikely, especially since past clues have mostly referenced the artist's name), or we could be looking for something related to the initials ACDC or to electricity, current, voltage, shocks, etc. There's also a White Stripes song ("Astro") with the lyric "Edison is AC/DC" - at least one clue last year used lyrics from a band Roo-type people would like to make a connection, so this seems like a likely connection.
Links: Posted by djjd here, discussion here and in following pages
Guesses: Based on initials: Animal Collective, Dixie Chicks, Death Cab for Cutie
Based on bisexuality: David Bowie, Ani DiFranco, plus others
Based on electricity: Mars Volta, British Sea Power, Electric Six, TV on the Radio
Other: Phish (reference to their song "AC/DC Bag"), AC/DC cover bands (we all hope not, after last year's Lez Zeppelin excitement, plus this seems too simple), She & Him (AC/DC could be a reference to opposites), various "Edison" bands (especially Edison Glass), Bon Iver (frontman Justin Vernon's previous band was named DeYarmond Edison)
Solved: Not really. Most popular guesses right now are one of the Edison bands or TV on the Radio.

OK- I gotsa go back down in the Radio Roo studio. Keep them ears big and open. Ho ho ho...ho.
Info: This could be nothing, but "keep them ears big" is somewhat odd phrasing, so it could refer to the Big Ears Festival, which is also run by AC Entertainment. The extra "ho" could also be significant.
Links: Posted by djjd here, discussion here and in following pages. The Big Ears Festival website is here.
Guesses: None really, especially since we don't know if this is actually a clue at all. The extra "ho" could point to a rapper.
Solved: No, but there might be nothing to solve.

some of you are BARKING up the wrong tree.
woof woof
time to rust of my dadio
Info: The word "BARKING" was in green text. This clue and the next one seem related, so more info follows.
Links: Posted by djjd here.
Guesses: See following clue!
Solved: Not at all.

some of you are BARKING up the right tree.
dusting off my radio, not my broom
Info: The word "radio" was in orange text (you could call it rust-colored, if you wanted to connect it back to the rust idea). This clue was posted in the speculations thread, while the related one above was posted in the clue thread. The colors could relate to Ireland somehow. The reference to "not my broom" could be an indication that Fleetwood Mac is not playing - djjd has been known to tell us a guess was wrong via clue in the past. "Barking" could be a reference to dogs, trees, or both. The transposed r and d in the first variation of this clue, combined with the reference to dogs, could be a connection to Astro, the dog from the Jetsons - which would bring us back to the White Stripes song "Astro" with the Edison is AC/DC lyric. Dadio (from the previous variation) is also a type of fish, for those of you trying to force every clue to point to Phish.
Links: Posted by djjd here.
Guesses: Animal Collective (this would also relate back to the AC/DC clue, they also have a record label called "Paw Tracks" which is another dog connection), rjd2, Snoop Dogg, Dropkick Murphys, Neil Young (his website is called Rust Radio), Radio Dadio.
Solved: Not yet! Most popular thoughts are Animal Collective and Neil Young.

yes- wouldn't be any fun if it were easy
perhaps this is a clue pointing you where to 'tree' the first good clue.
farmhand has changed
Info: This was posted in reply to a post from fakeplasticjames that read, "Snoop Dogg and TV on the Radio seem the most obvious but I feel like the clues wouldn't be that easy." The reference to where to "tree" the first good clue could be telling us that our clues branch out from one clue and that they're related. This also seems to be telling us that Snoop Dogg and TV on the Radio are NOT the answers to our clues. "Tree" could also be another reference to dogs - as in the way a hunting dog trees its prey.
Links: Posted by djjd here. The post it was replying to is here.
Guesses: None specifically, all we have is speculation on what this is trying to say about other clues.
Solved: Nope.

[Backwater]

Do cell phones work out there so we can find eachother upon arrival?

Usually. It depends on what service you have. I hear that Verizon is the best there. I lost my cell phone in 06. After Radiohead I was .. out .. of ... it (K hole)

[Blinken]

Well that is good to hear since I have verizon.

[Sushov23]

Also, too bad the miseducation was overrated as hell.

This is just as bad, if not worse then Paul saying Biggie sucks. You actually know a bit about hip-hop/r&b. you should know better, Miseducation is a once in a lifetime albums. Damn, Tim, DAMN.

[sbessiso]

I have Metro-pcs :( So don't expect a call from me. My friend who should be coming has a normal cell phone provider though

[Backwater]

Miseducation is a once in a lifetime albums.

???

When I say overrated I just mean that I'm tired of people preaching about how good it is. It's a great album, no doubt, but just let it rest already.

[faxman75]

Well that is good to hear since I have verizon.


Me too. It always works perfect at Coachella too. I swear by Verizon.

[Sushov23]

ok, that's cool. thanks for clearing that up. So what the fuck is up with the clues? I think one of them is TV on the radio for sure.

[faxman75]

Sush, that album isn't all her work though. It was a huge collaboration. It's good but I don't think it's as good as "the score".

[faxman75]

The White Stripes.....hope hope hope hope.

[Backwater]

This song is from a once in a lifetime album.

EYbUCvz1LYE

I really think this is one of the best songs ever written. He was able to tap into the psyche of just about every american man. Almost anyone can relate to it. David Byrne and Brian Eno at Bonnaroo 09!!!!

[sbessiso]

hopeHOPEhopeHoPehOpE

[Sushov23]

Sush, that album isn't all her work though. It was a huge collaboration. It's good but I don't think it's as good as "the score".

dude, know your facts. Lauryn Hill produced, and wrote almost everything on that album. There were some people who helped her produce, and edit lyrics, but not enough to have an impact on the direction of the record. So collab, is wrong, it's more like add a few small things to help make it the album it is. My problem with the score is that there are a couple duds on that album, but yeah that album ranks up there with the miseducation.

[Sushov23]

I love the talkingheads, but David Byrne is a huge douchebag. Just reunine Byrne, your solo stuff kinda sucks.

[sbessiso]

The David Byrne show I saw last December was excellent, ALL OF HIS SONGS. Solo work included. He may be a douche, but there is not one drop of that visible onstage, sushy

[Mr. Dylanja]

Those clues remind me of Blair posting on the Tool website, they cause more confusion than resolve....

[Backwater]

He's insane, literally. He has some kind of serious mental condition. Also, he's an ego maniac so unfortunately it will never happen. He was a genius though ... good riddance Dave.

[faxman75]

Everything I have read said it was a group collaboration and the courts apparently agreed since 5 Million was awarded to New Ark for their involvement.

Now, maybe you were there personally and witnessed who wrote what but i'm gonna assume the court made the right call on this one. It was largely a collaborative effort.

Do you just like to argue as much as me?

[Mr. Dylanja]

VVVVV Sushy just wants some late nite R&B so he can get laid VVVVV

[Backwater]

Boyz 2 Men should suffice.

[paulb]

the clues say that beastie boys are playing, at least thats how i read them.

[TommyboyUNM]

I read the clues as saying My Morning Jacket, Muse and Outkast will be playing.

[paulb]

let me guess, and Salah reads the clues as Kiss, Cure, and White Stripes are playing...

[faxman75]

Fuck the clues. Airfare is dropping! I hope to purchase tickets tonight. I see flights for $185 total r/t. I though $230 was cheap. I'm gonna finalize and i'll post here later. You can officially put me down as a definite for Roo Tommy.

[faxman75]

Fine, i'll take The White Stripes, Outkast and Portishead.

[mattpach]

Fine, i'll take The White Stripes, Outkast and Portishead.

I will say fuck school and be there if this happens.

[TommyboyUNM]

You can officially put me down as a definite for Roo Tommy.


Not until you buy your ticket, Faxy. The first list on the first page is for people who already purchased tickets. Less confusing that way.

[Backwater]

I will say fuck school and be there if this happens.

I think just about everyone who really loves music will fuck all of their respective schools up their asses if that happens.

[paulb]

I just got 117 bucks in the mail today from the government....to put towards paying off tickets and all that....or casino venture to multiply it?

[faxman75]

Don't do it paul, i can't encourage casino play. You should have walked away when you were up the 300 too!! :) I will not be going to any casino's until the week prior to Coachella.

[paulb]

i was doing so well, and i said to myself 1 more hand.... epic FAIL... story of my life. Maybe ill do better in Vegas, lol.

Glad to see you're fully onboard with Bonnaroo, Faxman.

YESSSS!! Today is a good day.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Today is a good day.

Jus wakin up in da mornin gotta thank God
I dont know but today seems kinda odd

[apostle2]

mmm I'm down for some Badu. That's a GREAT midday act, and guest appearance opportunities abound...

[Backwater]

Flea

[pancakespancakes]

Will she play in a tent? Seems kinda big for a tent. But then, they tend to do that at the Roo.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Faxy, what airlines has fares that cheap? I might have to jump on board too!

[TommyboyUNM]

Will she play in a tent? Seems kinda big for a tent. But then, they tend to do that at the Roo.


Yeah I think she'll play in a tent. I think that would be better than Which Stage.

[Blinken]

No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog

[Mr. Dylanja]

Thanks Blink!

Now I just have to wait for some idiot to chime in saying how shitty of a song it is :nono

[paulb]

does Badu have a greatest hits cd or anything?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Listen to the live album.

[Backwater]

Well Paul, since your knowledge of hip hop is equivalent to Bush's of Iraqi, you can use this as a starting point for the early 90's, west coast stuff.

qoKHE0MWckg

[paulb]

fuck you Mr. Jones.

[paulb]

I already know about Ice Cube, he is one of the few i like...Ive seen him live twice....

[faxman75]

Faxy, what airlines has fares that cheap? I might have to jump on board too!

word....northwest, i'm gonna check directly with them but the $186 was through travelocity on NW airlines. June 10th to 15th.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like Bonnaroo might be the only festival I go to this year.

This isn't a dig against Bonnaroo, just a comment on my sadness.

[paulb]

Bonnaroo will be worth it Gonshman

[faxman75]

They got a thread over there for people who don't shower the entire time they are there. One guy said he was in VIP and just chose not shower. I understand it's difficult and most people don't if they are in regular camping but for fucks sake if you are in vip and have access why the fuck not?!?!

[MissingPerson]

Jesus.

Had access to proper showers at festivals this year, and man, I can't imagine ever going back to regular old stinktown after that.

[paulb]

ya....fuck showering, lol.... Seriously, im stoked for Bonnaroo....so.... is it hotter than Coachella? Im talkin Coachella 2007 sweatfest, vs any other Bonnaroo.

[faxman75]

Airfare purchased. Arrive Nashville June 10th 8:45PM depart Nashville June 15th 6:00PM


See you bitches there.

[faxman75]

ya....fuck showering, lol.... Seriously, im stoked for Bonnaroo....so.... is it hotter than Coachella? Im talkin Coachella 2007 sweatfest, vs any other Bonnaroo.

Nashville is humid, sweaty hot like Chicago, New York and shit. Coachella hot is like Arizona. Dry desert heat. I prefer the dry desert heat myself.

[paulb]

Airfare purchased. Arrive Nashville June 10th 8:45PM depart Nashville June 15th 6:00PM


See you bitches there.

congrats Mark, im really kickin myself for not buying Bonnaroo airfare at 331 bucks... its still at like 520 or so.... I may just have to flight outta Seattle for 280....

[paulb]

BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/sundancesolar/bonnaroo6-16d

[faxman75]

Nice!

[LooseAtTheZoo]

This place must smell so bad. I can't imagine not being able to take a shower after a set such as Gogol Bordellos at this years Coach where I was literally wringing the sweat out of my shirt.

[TommyboyUNM]

This place must smell so bad. I can't imagine not being able to take a shower after a set such as Gogol Bordellos at this years Coach where I was literally wringing the sweat out of my shirt.


I didn't notice a bad smell at all. Probably because it's.....outdoors. Honestly, the hippy factor of Bonnaroo was greatly exaggerated when I went last year. I really didn't notice it.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I didn't notice a bad smell at all. Probably because it's.....outdoors. Honestly, the hippy factor of Bonnaroo was greatly exaggerated when I went last year. I really didn't notice it.

And when everyone smells, it's not as noticeable

[TommyboyUNM]

And when everyone smells, it's not as noticeable


Exactly. And I'm on vacation in Tennessee, why would I care about what other people think of me? I'm not showering for a few days and that's that. :)

[paulb]

dirty mexican....

[TommyboyUNM]

dirty mexican....


Vatos locos por vida!

[JSam67]

I know it's the Roo, and maybe I won't care, but I'm probably going to be seeking showers daily. Call me old-fashioned.

[TommyboyUNM]

I know it's the Roo, and maybe I won't care, but I'm probably going to be seeking showers daily. Call me old-fashioned.


Puss! That's Espanol for "old-fashioned".

[pancakespancakes]

Alright so Chad Smith, the drummer of Red Hot Chili Peppers, came into my work this evening (Starfucks). I'm not the biggest of Chili's fans, depsite me being the only one who loved their Coachella performance... but I was REALLY fucking starstruck to be having a conversation with someone who fucking headlined Coachella, my favorite thing on the planet Earth, it was a pretty weird moment to be honest. He was kinda friendly, but also very aloof. I never told him I knew he was, but I kinda implied it, not sure if he picked up on it or not. Anyway, the reason I'm saying all of this is that I had the oppurtunity to ask him about Bonnaroo (or even Coachella for that matter), but I blew it. He was with his wife, and I know how famous people usually are about being talked to in public... it just wasn't the right situation. Regardless, it was for sure the highlight of my last several days, so I feel inclined to share. Just to say I have had a conversation with someone who played on the Coachella mainstage after dark is a lot, not to mention with one of the best guitarists of this generation.

Isn't he the drummer who looks like Will Ferrell? Either way, that's pretty cool. I was hoping you were gonna say you asked him about Bonnaroo and he said there's no way they're playing.

[JSam67]

That's really cool, pancakes. And you're not the only one who loved their Coach '07 performance...

Also:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g269/freelulu/separatedchadwill.jpg

[pancakespancakes]

That's exactly how I recognized him! He's like Will Ferrell with earrings. Also, he's like 6'7" or something, so he sticks out like a sore thumb.

[JSam67]

I'll never understand the hate that RHCP gets on this board. Are they as good as they were in the '90s? No, but not all of us got to see them then. They still have two of the most talented musicians on the planet, and I personally thought they had a much more enjoyable set than RATM in '07.

[TommyboyUNM]

I don't hate RHCP. I still like Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I just have no interest at all in seeing them live again. In my opinion, they completely mailed it in at Coachella in 2007. I saw them 7 years prior to that and they were pretty good. So they WERE capable of being good in concert, I just think they've become tired and bored.

[pancakespancakes]

Yeah, I think I understand a little bit of the hate, because they're just kind of "silly," not a very mature/intellectually stimulating kind of band for those of us outside the 10th grade, ya know? Not saying their Limp Bizkit, just saying, they're sort of the same vein as AC/DC. But I honestly don't see how they could ever be compared to Jack Johson as a headliner, and yet they are all the time. It's true, John Fusciante is probably among the five best guitarists alive right now, and Flea on the bass is probably only second to Claypool or Vic Wooten. If Anthony Kiedis didn't sing for that band, they'd surely be one of my favorite bands for what they do. They're not exactly bad at writing riffs either... and their jamming at Coachella pretty much blew my mind.

[JSam67]

We must have seen a vastly different show, Tommy. That intro --> Can't Stop was intense, they played Under the Bridge, Readymade killed... I don't know, I like a lot of their post-BSSM material, though. The second disc of Stadium Arcadium has many moments of masterful Frusciante.

[pancakespancakes]

We must have seen a vastly different show, Tommy. That intro --> Can't Stop was intense

FUCK YES. That was certainly the best part. But I seriously got chills during Under the Bridge, which blew me away. I've always loved that song, but they had a pretty fucking hard act to follow in you-know-who that evening. Somehow they did it. Something about being in LA (kind of) with all of the Los Angelinos and hearing that song about LA, it was pretty fucking cool.

Point being, though, I'm not sure I'd watch all of their set at Bonnaroo, but they sure are a good time. They're one of those bands that you can have soooo much fun while watching, but then as soon as they're done, you don't remember much. Jam bands can be sort of similar in my opinion.

[TommyboyUNM]

Under The Bridge and Higher Ground were the only 2 songs I actually enjoyed. They just really rocked a lot more when I saw them in 2000. I think a lot of the people who were disappointed with that set are using a previous RHCP concert experience as a reference. Maybe I was a little tired and the sun kicked my ass all day too. Though that didn't seem to be a problem during Rage the next night.

[JSam67]

Yeah, I agree, pancakes. I saw them at Lolla the year before and was kinda meh about it, but they brought it to Coachella. That intro was WILD, loved it. Yeah, didn't top AF for me of course, but they did an admirable job following, I thought. And next to AF and Bjork, it was probably the band I enjoyed most in '07.

[JSam67]

The more I think about that Rage performance, the more it let me down. They were the reason I went to Coachella, and that show doesn't even rank in my top 5 from that year. Not that I hated it, but it was just okay.

Though that didn't seem to be a problem during Rage the next night.

Yeah I think that's the case, my good friend I was with said they weren't nearly as good as when he had seen them for the first time. But, more importantly, they had to follow Arcade Fire at the very place and time that band had made quite a name for themselves, so that isn't really the easiest. Chili's should have just switched places with them.

[TommyboyUNM]

The more I think about that Rage performance, the more it let me down. They were the reason I went to Coachella, and that show doesn't even rank in my top 5 from that year. Not that I hated it, but it was just okay.


I enjoyed the Rage set a lot, but I can actually see where you're coming from. The best Rage show I saw was at Vegoose that year. Muse into Rage was fucking wonderful.

[pancakespancakes]

Rage at Coachella is my #1 concert and was what got me into going to concerts. They also were what brought me to Coachella as well, which outside of Street Scene, was not just my first music festival, but first large-scale concert I ever went to (some punk rock shows on the side, and that was it). Anyway. I don't remember much but that is still the greatest show I've ever seen, for a lot of personal reasons. It was a big time in my life. They're my favorite band outside of Genesis and Broken Social Scene, so that's probably why.

But Chili's were different. They were kind of like a big huge party. But Rage was something more monumental. I understand why some people were sort of disappointed. But, again, I only remember so much.

[rideincircles]

You dont need to take a shower at Bonnaroo, but its really easy to rinse yourself off at the water troughs.

Coachella definitely has better showers IMO.

[TommyboyUNM]

Hey JSam and Flapjacks, we all have something in common. Rage was the reason why I went to Coachella for the first time as well. We're the fans that everyone hated that weekend! Haha.

[pancakespancakes]

HELL YES! I'm pretty passive actually... haven't been involved in a physical altercation with anyone since age 9, not to mention 5'8" and 125-130 lbs. :( Hahaha not all Rage fans are made the same, truly.

[pancakespancakes]

I washed my face in those things Sunday morning, that was it. I think I brushed my teeth too, which was the only time I did the whole weekend. I'm not much of a persperator though... not to mention I was by myself (or as much as one could be at Bonnaroo) the whole weekend, so I had no one to complain to me about my stinkiness.

[JSam67]

Hey JSam and Flapjacks, we all have something in common. Rage was the reason why I went to Coachella for the first time as well. We're the fans that everyone hated that weekend! Haha.

Ha, yeah you're right about that. Rage was a big deal to me, obviously, since I got a ticket basically just to see them. But then Coachella happened, and we all know the rest. And I personally thought Rage was much better at Lolla this year, but I'll never forget the moment when they came on stage and that place erupted when they introduced themselves.

So I guess I'm the only one who is just whatever about Erykah Badu? She's cool, sure, but if I were a betting man, I'd say I'll be at a different set.

[pancakespancakes]

But then Coachella happened, and we all know the rest.

Hahaha, very well put. You took the words right out of my mouth. I discovered Arcade Fire about a month or two before Coachella, without even realizing they were playing until later... of course, I fell in love, but then I had no idea about their live show until I actually saw it.

But yeah, that was the only time I saw Rage, which is why they really still get my vote for the farm this year. Everyone said their other sets were much better, albeit less monumental in nature. But I'm just a fan, and I really wouldn't mind seeing a set I could actually focus on watching. I do think think they're a bit on the "aggro" side for the Roo. But it's aggression with a lot of purpose, so it's different. The hippies will be fine!

[JSam67]

Damn, I wish there was a chance for AF at the Roo this year, that would really seal the deal for me. Yeah I don't see RATM at the Roo, but I never saw Metallica playing it either, so who knows?

I don't think I've ever anticipated lineups (Coach, Roo) so much without even caring what's on there. I just want one or two things to get excited about. Band of Horses at Coachella is a fine start.

[pancakespancakes]

I was going pretty crazy about who's playing Coachella, just like last year, (except at this point there have 7-8 bands confirmed I'm crazy about seeing, so I'm fine) but for whatever reason, I could care less about the Roo. I guess that says that A) there's more to Bonnaroo than the music, but B) they pretty much never disappoint, or appear to. Unlike Coachella, who quite often appears to disappoint only to later blow us away.

As I've said before, the only band I really really really care about being there is the Allmans. And that's really it. If they are there, I'm probably not going to care about much else that weekend. And if they're not, then I'm going to be a bit depressed. But that's just about all I need to get really really unbelievably excited.

[JSam67]

The Allmans, huh? Interesting. Massive Attack would be mine, but since I doubt they'll be there, it's diminished my anxiety for a lineup. I'm excited about my first Roo, just the whole experience, plus going with all you guys is going to be very cool, much like PAW last year at Coachella.

I've resigned myself to a shitty Coachella lineup near the top this year. Any headliner that I actually want to see will be a bonus, I think. And as much as I'm hoping for someone like Gorillaz, I think the best I can hope for is Tears For Fears as a subheadliner, and I'd be fucking thrilled.

[pancakespancakes]

Is Massive Attack really that impossible for Bonnaroo this year? I mean, I know they're sort of a strange fit, but Roo always gets a band like that or two... and with the new album hopefully being out in the next few months? I'd venture to guess it's in the cards. But I don't know much.

And yeah don't expect to run into me the day the Allmans are playing, I'll probably be camping out for my front row spot, barring any big conflicts... they're pretty much the only band and at the only place I'd do that for at this point in my life.

[pancakespancakes]

I would also just like to add that I'm killing myself for only discovering the Drive-By Truckers a couple months ago. I'm currently listening to them and only falling in love with them more. Bonnaroo would have been the most perfect place on the planet to see them, and I blew it. I hope they conflicted with someone huge. They played OSL too, and I blew that. I wonder the chances of them doing two years in a row? They strike me as being Roo-regulars. And there's no possible way this band doesn't kick serious ass live. It's just that kind of music. And it's tailor-made for being seen on a farm in Tennessee in the summertime surrounded by hippies, drugs & tie-dye.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Hey JSam and Flapjacks, we all have something in common. Rage was the reason why I went to Coachella for the first time as well. We're the fans that everyone hated that weekend! Haha.

You can add me to this group and I'm pretty sure Blinken too.

[JSam67]

pancakes, Drive-By Truckers played Iowa's small festival this summer, but I missed them. I think they were a little mellow for me on first listen but I'll give them another whirl. And I hope you're right about Massive Attack, I think they've gotta show up somewhere, why not Bonnaroo if Coachella is too early?

[pancakespancakes]

Yeah why isn't Massive Attack being talked about for Coachella again? Did something write them off for good? I just now realized that a few months ago, I had read that the new album was expected for January-February 2009. Well look what that brought us... I swear this thing is like the new Guns N Roses.

[pancakespancakes]

Alright well I looked it up and DBT played early Friday afternoon before I had even arrived. I guess I can sleep easy. But suddenly they're at the top of my list of bands I want to come back this year...

[sbessiso]

You dont need to take a shower at Bonnaroo, but its really easy to rinse yourself off at the water troughs.

Coachella definitely has better showers IMO.

This is exactly what we did in 2007 and it worked splendidly!!! It was kinda fun too. Last year it was baby wipes all the way and it worked fine as well. I'm not paying for a shower. Trust me on this Josh, but you can feel free to go on that quest for the mythical showers. Ive been to 2 Bonnroos and still have not seen any official showers.

Notes-

*Pancakes, its OK you didnt mention anything to Chad. I mean you DID have the PERFECT opportunity to ask about RooChella but I get starstrucked too. Hardcore

*Faxy, I cant believe you bought your airfare! Congratulations!!!!

*I dont read the clues as Kiss, The White Stripes, etc. because I havent even read the clues. I dont bother with that shit, Im not going to figure it out. Theyre designed to keep you stumped

*Josh, didnt we see Drive-By Truckers at 80/35? Im pretty sure it was that bluegrassy, folky band that I really liked but you and Ally were kinda meh about

*I want The Chili Peppers at Bonnaroo. Ive never seen them and theyre one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE bands. Oh yes

*FUCK RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THEM UP THE ASS

[LooseAtTheZoo]

He was kinda friendly, but also very aloof. .

How is this possible? Aren't these things the exact opposite?

Anyway, that's pretty cool. And I think you made the right choice not to ask him in that kind of setting.

[TommyboyUNM]

Drive-By Truckers was the most average band I think I've ever seen. So much so that they became the measuring stick for my ex and I for whether or not we like a band. If the band is worse than DBT then they suck. If the band is better than DBT then they're good. That rating system has creeped into everyday life as well. "How's your job going?" "Eh, it's a little better than Drive-By Truckers."

RATM is what got me into Coachella.... that day was epic. I dont think ill ever miss a Coachella from now on.

[rage patton]

Rage at Bonnaroo would be awesome. Late night set for sure.

[paulb]

Rage at Bonnaroo would be awesome. Late night set for sure.

RATM playing after Phish? hell yeah.

[TommyboyUNM]

Rage at Bonnaroo would be awesome. Late night set for sure.


As much of a Rage fan as I am, I don't think they need a late-night set. There's nothing about their light show or mood that screams for a late-night set. And if they did play, I'd like them to do more things off of Renegades. I think I only saw them do Renegades of Funk during the 3 shows I went to.

[sbessiso]

I would sell my ticket. I'm dead fucking serious. Have fun guys

[TommyboyUNM]

I would sell my ticket. I'm dead fucking serious. Have fun guys


Drama queen. It's just one band.

[sbessiso]

I don't care. I don't want one penny of my money going into their greedy little pockets

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'm with Beezy, Rage blows, used to be my favorite but being back with the same message and no new material is pathetic....

[TommyboyUNM]

I'm with Beezy, Rage blows, used to be my favorite but being back with the same message and no new material is pathetic....


I'm with you as far as the material goes. I don't want them there unless they play shit they haven't played since they got back together.

But my argument still remains that Sabeezy is just being a drama queen and wouldn't sell his Roo ticket if Rage was there.

[rage patton]

And if they did play, I'd like them to do more things off of Renegades. I think I only saw them do Renegades of Funk during the 3 shows I went to.

Rage shows are 80 minutes. They would get 2.5 hours... play for 80 minutes, then there would be an hour and half of silence. Not a headliner for thr Roo. Any other festival, yes. Not the Roo.


I would sell my ticket. I'm dead fucking serious. Have fun guys

Without Rage, I wouldn't be on the boards. I would have never gone to Coachella and I wouldn't be going to Bonnaroo this year. Don't be so lame.

[Mr. Dylanja]

There is NO ARGUMENT as far as Beezy being a drama queen, it's fact :lips

This whole thread pretty much wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Zach making nice...

[Blinken]

Hey JSam and Flapjacks, we all have something in common. Rage was the reason why I went to Coachella for the first time as well. We're the fans that everyone hated that weekend! Haha.

Count me in that group :)

About the Chili Peppers I really liked the Coachella set. I had seen once before in 2003 at the Pallidium with System of a Down. And it was ok but Fruscainti's guitar kept giving him problems the whole set. He kept storming off the stage as a result. Half of the set was Flea and Chad just jamming. It was cool, but not a proper set at all. So The Coachella set made up for it in my mind. Plus Under the Bridge was amazing that is one of my favorite moments from Coachella in 2007.

[sbessiso]

Without Rage, I would've gone to Coachella 07. I would've seen Bjork, finally seen RCHP, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, that Arcade Fire show that made skeptic into believers, Mika, the list goes on.

I don't understand how you didn't get tickets. I was able to buy tickets maybe a day or 2 after Rage was announced. It didn't sell out THAT fast. I think you only have yourself to blame.

[sbessiso]

Absolutely not.

[Blinken]

If you had gone to Coach that year, you wouldn't have gone to the Roo and seen the White Stripes, right? Think of it as a blessing in disguise, plus Bonnacrew would not exist if not for Rage.

[TommyboyUNM]

Blinken you are the voice of reason. These are both incredibly excellent points. Again, Salah, please explain to me how you weren't able to get tickets to Coachella 2007 when I jumped in on them a couple of days after the announcement and I was fine.

[sbessiso]

See, I used to believe that Blinky. But no, I would've gone to both. I would've made it fit. I will never forgive RATM, plus I don't like them to begin with. I've been so over rap-metal since middle school, thanks

BECAUSE tommy, we didnt get our tickets in 2006 until much later after the lineup was announced. So this lead us to believe we didnt have to buy our tickets the fucking weekend they went onsale in 2007. One thing I am at fault for is completely underestimated the selling power of a reunited rap/rock group

ANYWAY...

[TommyboyUNM]

If you were REALLY dedicated to going to Coachella that year you would've bought your ticket ASAP regardless of whether or not you thought it might sell out. And you really did underestimate the selling power of Rage. Again, you only have yourself to blame.

[Blinken]

I think Tommy is gonna be added to Salah's bitch slap list.

There is alot of funk in Rage, the are renegades of funk. . .

[TommyboyUNM]

I think Tommy is gonna be added to Salah's bitch slap list.


He still wants to have my babies.

[sbessiso]

I don't have to explain myself.

[TommyboyUNM]

I don't have to explain myself.


Yes you do! I will grill you and demand explanations for every single one of your music choices that I disagree with. Dammit! ;)

[sbessiso]

The Killers should just play both Coachella AND Bonnaroo

[faxman75]

Please stop. Please.

[canexplain]

faxman, its cool to say "see you at the roo" , so just checking in, my work has been busy lately .. i checked all the normal boards and nothing is happing ... oh well ..... bonnarooooooooooo .... cr****

[faxman75]

See you at the Roo Ron!

[apostle2]

apparently through 50 odd pages of discussion, inforoo figured out that all the clues were leading them to a new twitter page from the DJ that gives out the clues, and once they solved that he told them he would start the ACTUAL clues tomorrow. Here's hoping for the easily solved (aka Janis Joplin's Preserves) clues from last year.

[faxman75]

Lame. Let me know what you guys figure out. :D

[amyzzz]

Other than Bjork and Infected Mushroom, 2007 coach was the absolute worst ever.

[Blinken]

Other than Bjork and Infected Mushroom, 2007 coach was the absolute worst ever.

I didn't see either of those, and a great time.

[TommyboyUNM]

I enjoyed Coachella 2007 because of: Rage, Manu Chao, The Roots, The Arcade Fire, Ozomatli, CSS and Kings of Leon.

[MissingPerson]

CSS are ridiculous, and great fun.

[faxman75]

Bjork, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Rage, Explosions in the Sky and Fountains of Wayne are what I remember.

I wish I could back and have seen Rodrigo y Gabriella and Gogol though. I didn't know them at the time.

[TommyboyUNM]

CSS are ridiculous, and great fun.


Yes they are. That show caught me off guard because I didn't expect to have such a good time.

[TommyboyUNM]

I forgot about Explosions in the Sky. Add them to my list. I didn't go on Friday, so I'm sure I would've enjoyed more.

[amyzzz]

CSS are ridiculous, and great fun.
Ok yeah, I forgot about CSS. :)

[MissingPerson]

Ok yeah, I forgot about CSS. :)

:D

Saw them play here at a venue that's famous for it's assholey security staff. The staff made the very terrible error of trying to confiscate a bunch of kids' glowsticks. They reckoned without the utterly fucking enormous glowstick stockpile I'd smuggled in. I passed out so many fucking glowsticks they just had to give up and let us have our fucking glowstick fun. We could have gone home with suntans, there were so many fucking glowsticks going on. It was awesome.

The funny thing is, I don't even really like glowsticks.

I just have a very peculiar sense of justice.

Feather would have been proud of us that night though.

[pancakespancakes]

Rage on Sunday, Arcade Fire on Saturday, and Sonic Youth on Friday, that made the best music festival I've ever been too. But the first is always the best isn't it?


Without Rage, I would've gone to Coachella 07.

This combined with the fact that more than half of this thread came to Coachella for the first time for Rage is kinda funny, you have to admit...

[pancakespancakes]

How is this possible? Aren't these things the exact opposite?

Perhaps I misused that word actually? I just mean he was nice, but he was pretty stupid and not very conversational. But I was talkative. And he was nice to me back. But geez, seeing someone like that up close makes me realize how much I would not want to grow up like them. That man does not seem to have much of an admirable life. And when did he get so old? He had gray hair and wrinkles all over... maybe it's the past drug addictions...

[sbessiso]

[Backwater]

This is completely random but it's been on my mind so I thought I'd throw it out there, Chasing Amy - best film ever? Or at least of our generation? That movie is damn near perfect. Haters need to recognize.

[locachica73]

I've never seen it... (gasp).

[amyzzz]

I saw it when it came out.

[Backwater]

See it loca! I can bring it to phx but you should see it yourself anyway. How about Slumdog Millionaire?

[sbessiso]

On my way home today my best friend gives me a call. So we're talking and shooting the shit and then she says it, she drops the bomb "You know, I think I'm gunna listen to some Tool"
*silence*
"Hello?"
"I don't know what you want me to say. I'm shocked. I'm speechless. It's like you just put a knife in my heart"
"You're being such a drama queen! *lols*"

She said something about how one of her friends down there (she lives in the keys) is a big big fan and convinced her to give them another shot. See? This is what happens when I'm not fucking there to keep thing under control

This is my companion, compadre, my other half. We went to our first Coachella together where out mantra was "Fuck Tool!". We went to Bonnaroo together where our mantra was "Fuck Tool!". I'm really scared she's gunna like it

[Backwater]

I saw it when it came out.

That's why zzzzz is more badass than anyone else on this board.

[locachica73]

I will never understand why anyone would dislike tool. I mean, they have an entire song about anal fisting... how can you hate on that?

Sorry I am a fan.

[Backwater]

The fact that you have to apologize for being a Tool fan means that Salah really failed somewhere along the line.

[locachica73]

See it loca! I can bring it to phx but you should see it yourself anyway. How about Slumdog Millionaire?

I will have to see if I can get it through netflix. But I am not a big movie watcher, I am never home, and when I am I am trying to catch up on my DVR. I have 2 netflix movies sitting at home waiting to be watched right now and my friendly stalker gave me a bootleg version of Eagle Eye which I have yet to watch as well. I need a few more free days.

[faxman75]

QFT

The best movie Kevin Smith ever created and one of the better movies of all time. :) I can watch this one over and over.

[locachica73]

a fan of tool. I do love the song, but not the act. The whole idea is disturbing.

[TommyboyUNM]

Thoughts:

- Chasing Amy is a great movie. Greatest Kevin Smith movie? Yes. One of the greatest of our generation? I'll give it some thought. Loca, see the fuckin movie.

- Salah, your post about your friend listening to Tool made me happy. Stop fighting it. It's great shit. And she will like it. I'm telling you, she will.

- Loca, I hate to crush your dreams but I'm not sure if "Stinkfist" is about anal fisting. I could be wrong, but I think that's just the name of the song.

[locachica73]

Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. Turn around and take my hand.

It is supposedly about fisting. In fact I need to go look but my sister once sent me a link to a site where they interviewed Maynard and asked him about each song and I believe he confirmed that it is about fisting, now if he meant anal or otherwise I don't know but everyone I have spoken to thinks its anal fisting.

[Sushov23]

[allyjoy]

maybe it's about his experiences with the music industry or a record label?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Sabizzle, that single post made me like your friend more than you :winkiss

Like all great songwriters Maynard leaves his lyrics open for interpretaion. The song means what you want it to mean, that's the beauty of it.


God I love it when threads turn to Tool discussion :D


Timmy, how was the show? Were you called a hippie by anyone?

I think it's a metaphor for something. I've heard about modern technology or something. Maybe Dylan can clear this up for us.

what the hell is Dylan talking about Tim? Dylan, tommy can you post talking about some of tool's greatest songs? live video? anything that will piss off sbess? Let's get some RATM videos in here also, it's really his fault for not making Coach. 07, not RATM. Man up sabeezy, buy your tickets once they go onsale. Also 3-day passes where available for 3 weeks homie!

I lost my phone and your number :(. I posted somewhere asking if you would IM it to me so I could drunk dial you but you didn't respond. I thought you were trying to avoid the drunkdial. Now I have muscle relaxers though so it will be doped up calls instead of drunk calls.

Lol I don't think Tool's music really lends itself to a hyperactive frontman. I know where you're coming from, though, Teeeyum.

[TommyboyUNM]

make sure you take your vitamins.


I'll take something similar to a vitamin that will be way more beneficial.

If it lasts longer then 4 hours dial 911... with the other hand that is. ;)

Happiness in Slavery?


Just in case anyone thought I was being racial and didn't know the reference. When Trent recorded Broken, it was a response to being chained to TVT for another album. Trent found "happiness in slavery" while recording Broken. Broken also contains the Pigface track "Suck".

Maynard rarely stands in front of the stage too. He's usually hiding in the back or of the side in the background. He purposely has zero stage presence. I swear that Coachella performance could have been a damn CD playing with awesome visuals, it sounded so crystal clear.

[allyjoy]

I don't think anyone was accusing you of being racist








... this time

[faxman75]

Faxy = racist :nono

Dylan = douche :nono

:P

I think it's just sort of implied that Faxy is being racist. We gotta rise up and overcome, Ally.

[faxman75]

Whatever....it's always you people that have a problem with me.

[TommyboyUNM]

Whatever....it's always you people that have a problem with me.


It's ok, Faxy, the Lord will take care of you.

[faxman75]

Ok Chico and the Man.

[Backwater]

Did you guys hear about the new Jewish car?

It stops on a dime then goes back and picks it up.


What's the most confusing day in Harlem?

Father's Day (sorry Ally, had to do it, blame faxy)

[HEADSTRUCK]

WOW

[Mr. Dylanja]

:nono

[allyjoy]

they're funny. I can't fault you. you might need to change the city though since in about 5 years there won't be any blacks in harlem anymore

[HEADSTRUCK]

where are they all going?

[TommyboyUNM]

Hah, what an excellent way to celebrate 4,000 there Teeeyum!! I'm a little offended you didn't include a Mexican joke in there.

[TommyboyUNM]

where are they all going?


Hopefully back to.........shit nevermind.

[allyjoy]

Tommy, you're really pushing it today... who gave you candy and why are you channelling brokendoll?

[HEADSTRUCK]

Hopefully back to.........shit nevermind.
my god.....this thread is hot today

[Backwater]

This thread is always hot because bonnaroo is the hotness. Coachella is lukewarm.

[TommyboyUNM]

Tommy, you're really pushing it today... who gave you candy and why are you channelling brokendoll?


You just compared me to brokendoll? FUCK. :(

[HEADSTRUCK]

This thread is always hot because bonnaroo is the hotness. Coachella is lukewarm.

thats cause you are a dirty hippie that loves jambands and drum circles

[Backwater]

That's cuz I'm from the dirty south, right? Screwed up and chopped.

[faxman75]

Alright, i'm currently in the middle of a heated debate on another board about who the coolest african american TV dad of the late 80's early 90's is. Bill Cosby excluded it was between Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince and Carl the dad in Family Matters. I called bullshit and nominated Roc. One of the best shows of its time. They were the first series to go live for an entire season since the 50's. I loved Roc. Ton Loc was on that show too and it deal with real issues. None of that huxtables brady bunch bullshit.

[TommyboyUNM]

Hmmm. Charles S. Dutton (Roc) is extremely underrated, but he didn't really have the overall warmth that a Carl Winslow had. But Carl was sometimes too nice and I just felt sorry for him.

In conclusion, my vote goes to Phillip Banks. He was stern, but I still got the sense that he was a nice guy.

[Backwater]

Uncle Phil wins this in a landslide. No contest.

[faxman75]

He's certainly winning the poll but Roc isn't on the poll so it doesn't even count. Dutton FTW!

[TommyboyUNM]

Who else is on the poll aside from Uncle Phil and Carl? Robert Townsend?

[ShyGuy75]

errrr

[Backwater]

Shyguy is the best black sitcom dad.

[ShyGuy75]

yey! so what do i win?

[Backwater]

Faxs' friends' approval ... in the other forum.

[rage patton]

This HAS to be a joke.

[Backwater]

Even though STP, Pulp and TI have about 0% chance of playing bonnaroo, these are all great songs. Enjoy.

No joke. Have you seen STP live? He's much better than that Eugene ***. Yes, I've seen Gogoal live.

[rage patton]

Yes. They were boring.

Teeeeyum is spitting some venom today.

[Backwater]

Rage, I hope you realize that two years from now nobody will give a fuck about Gogol Bordello. Yet, people still remember STP. It doesn't click with you canadians, fine whatever, but please don't spit hate .... gypsy punks .... AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[rage patton]

No joke. Have you seen STP live? He's much better than that Eugene ***. Yes, I've seen Gogoal live.

Woh woh woh. Where do you get off calling Eugene Hutz a "***?" That is the guy who get me onstage to propose to my girlfriend. I can say that Eugene Hutz is an awesome guy! Really nice, friendly and down to earth. If you don't like Gogol, fine. But I don't see why you have to insult Eugene Hutz to get your point agross. It wasn't meant to be a personal. Jesus...

As for STP, I was actually excited to see them, but I left the show disapointed. Simple as that. Scott Weiland was entertaining to watch on stage, but one of the best frontman ever? No. Far from it. I was actually an STP fan before the show... but that show left such a bad taste in my mouth I can't listen to them anymore.

[Sushov23]

Eugene> Weiland, any day. Talking shit about gogol, LAME. I like STP, but come on Tim, not cool.
