The Official Bonnaroo 2009 Coachella Board thread

[Backwater]

Again. Missing NIN last show ever for MGMT..... It does deserve ridicule. Even if it wasn't the last tour, this is the last show of the last tour forever or at least for a really long time. MGMT and Yeasayer are not going anywhere.

QFT

Come on man, NIN in the AM, in the middle of nowhere, stoned out of your skull, going crazy?

or

"Control yourself, take only what you neeeeeeeed from it?"

Are you fucking kidding me?

[faxman75]

Since we're talking about allergies I feel I should point out that Faxy is allergic to boobies :nono That's all I have to offer.

:nono

Thanks for cock blocking me for the entire festival fucker. :nono

[canexplain]

Someone please translate Ron for me.

silly ........ cr****
should i stay or should i go ........ clash

[Mr. Dylanja]

Someone please translate Ron for me.

He has to go to Seattle to clean out a home that he's considering selling. He only has so much PTO and weather permitting Roo week is his only chance.



Ron, I work for a title insurance company, if you can hold off, wait it out. If you're in a crunch go get it taken care of. As long as you'll be there for MHF I won't be mad if you don't go :)

At the very least the ability for Sushy to log into this board should be removed permanently.

Do you not like NIN Sushy? If you don't dig them at all I would understand or even if you only know that one "fuck you like an animal song". Even then I would understand. You should still be removed from this board for christs sake you have to know something about music if you want to see Yeasayer. So what am I missing here?

see what you need to understand is that i'm not a huge NIN fan fax. I'm moderate at best, i'm going to NINJA twice for Janes Addiction, and just happy I get to see NIN twice opening. So understand now?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Sushy, if for no other reason you should go to NIN just to see how crazy I'm going to go. Yes folks, Saturday night starting at 1am I'm checking out of reality as I know it for a few hours. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join me!

[faxman75]

Is he? I've never heard of any straight guy hating boobies! In fact most of the gay guys I know will go ahead and give a tit a squeeze too.

In my experience, even guys who claim they are ass men, or leg men, or that they only like small chests, once they have a handful they're pleased as punch.


This stems from me saying I don't like blowing my money at strip clubs. I like boobies fine. I am an ass man though, I love a chick with a nice ass. Tit size is not really important. My ex had a large A or a small B cup. The chick I was with before that was an A cup.

Fuck, i'm not really helping my argument about being allergic to tits here am I?

Fax, Yeasayer is actually really good. I still agree with this. Sushy, are you out of your fucking mind? And you wonder why we give you so much shit.

[Backwater]

should i act grownup lol ...... cr****

Haha

Nah, I say you should act like the kid in you.

But you see Sushy, NIN is a legendary band performing an epic set that will be talked about for years, think Radiohead 06, and you're missing that for flavor of the year pop/rock? For sure you can miss SOME of MGMT for NIN, otherwise that would just be massive, massive fail and you'll seriously regret it. I just don't want you having to tell your kids, "No ... sadly I WAS at bonnaroo 2009, but I did not that set. No, I forget who I saw actually, some band with initials maybe .... "

[suprefan]

Last NIN performance ever in the u.s. thats all I am gonna say.



Really S cheeks it's there last show?

Yep, this is a farewell tour, he is done with NIN in this form for now after all of this.

[faxman75]

Sushy, if for no other reason you should go to NIN just to see how crazy I'm going to go. Yes folks, Saturday night starting at 1am I'm checking out of reality as I know it for a few hours. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join me!

IN.

Sorry Sushy, if you are just a moderate fan. You should still be checking this late night last show ever shit out.

As a moderate fan, give me your top 5 favorite songs or something. I don't even know what a moderate fan is. Casual would be all the radio singles, right? So Head Like a Hole, Closer, Wish and we're in this together or something. Hmmm

I'm mostly giving you a hard time here Sushy but I don't want you to miss this. I know you will like it better. Fuckin' mgmt? srsly? I fucking love Oracular Spectacular and shit but live they aren't there yet. They are working on it and they are young and that's great. Now is not the time for that bullshit though.

[Backwater]

Are you that afraid of hippies supre? Why the hell aren't you going to this?

[faxman75]

Fax, Yeasayer is actually really good. I still agree with this. Sushy, are you out of your fucking mind? And you wonder why we give you so much shit.

Yes, I know that's why I said he had to know a little something about music if he likes Yeasayer. :)

[Sushov23]

Haha! Exactly.



Fax, Yeasayer is actually really good. I still agree with this. Sushy, are you out of your fucking mind? And you wonder why we give you so much shit.

I don't wonder why you give me shit. I just don't really care, i've told you before. Also seeing Yeasayer is more important for me at least over NIN, I am gonna walk over to NIN after yeasayer ends though, then walk back when MGMT start. Well that is the plan.

[faxman75]

Last NIN performance ever in the u.s. thats all I am gonna say.




Yep, this is a farewell tour, he is done with NIN in this form for now after all of this.


I would have to question how do we know that there won't be any shows in July or August anywhere? He said last shows for Europe tour...period. He never said that after the Roo date. It seems likely but it is possible there are a few more unannounced dates here in the states, no?

[faxman75]

I don't wonder why you give me shit. I just don't really care, i've told you before. Also seeing Yeasayer is more important for me at least over NIN, I am gonna walk over to NIN after yeasayer ends though, then walk back when MGMT start. Well that is the plan.

Ban User.

[Backwater]

Are you fucking serious? I did not know that. I hate the word epic but I can't think of anything else to describe this.

Dylan, Vegas was a joke compared to what this is going to be. We're going to be so fucking fried.

[miSTEVEious]

i have a quandry gang :( cr****

the tickets have arrived ron, thanks again. i will send the stubs back to you plus some!

[miSTEVEious]

so are all of you camping together or in separate groups? i'm going to want to meet up with as many of you as possible and chill!

[Sushov23]

IN.

Sorry Sushy, if you are just a moderate fan. You should still be checking this late night last show ever shit out.

Wish
Starfucker
Reptile
somewhat damaged
Terrible Lie
at this moment. It changes.

[TommyboyUNM]

Sushy, in your words, there isn't a fail picture big enough to do your fail justice. Yeasayer will be around and tour. Think about it. Really, just think about it.

[Sushov23]

Ban User.

ok man, ban me. sure, I'm gonna see NIN twice this month. That is enough for me. I'm not going to defend my decision anymore guys. So what is everyone's game plan for now? Byrne or Bboys? I'm gonna go with Bboys, then catch the rest of Byrne.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Are you fucking serious? I did not know that. I hate the word epic but I can't think of anything else to describe this.

Dylan, Vegas was a joke compared to what this is going to be. We're going to be so fucking fried.

Yeah dude, last date in the US too. During Bruce I'm going to have to go back to camp and do some resting, some stretching, some warm up fist pumps, practice face melt expressions etc etc.

If he wasn't playing late night I wouldn't be going, simple as that.

[Mr. Dylanja]

So what is everyone's game plan for now? Byrne or Bboys? I'm gonna go with Bboys, then catch the rest of Byrne.

To keep the NIN theme...

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

[Backwater]

So what is everyone's game plan for now? Byrne or Bboys? I'm gonna go with Bboys, then catch the rest of Byrne.

Like I told Paul, easiest conflict ever.

I love Ani and Lucinda (that's a stupid conflict btw) but I'm going to have to leave them early to get the best spot for Byrne. He's my #3 priority after Phish and NIN.

[pancakespancakes]

I will watch TVOTR's second half for a good spot for Byrne.

[TommyboyUNM]

I'm going with Beastie Boys. I grew up on them. They are basically the soundtrack to my high school years and I've never seen them live. I'm not that familiar with David Byrne, though I highly respect his work with Talking Heads and his influence. So it's really no offense to David Byrne that I'll be skipping him.

D-Lo, I'm gonna see some of Bruce then do the same thing as you. I'm resting up for Nine Inch Nails. Holy shit I'm excited for that show. I'm seeing them 3 times before Roo, but Roo just FEELS different.

[Backwater]

I will watch TVOTR's second half for a good spot for Byrne.

So will I. I've been loving Talking Heads lately. Plus, if it weren't for the sound issues, TVOTR wouldn't really have been that bad at Coachella.

[canexplain]

the tickets have arrived ron, thanks again. i will send the stubs back to you plus some!

way cool ... no dont send anything dude, well super lsd lol , but do this for me then, sign the tics with you misteveious name and a smiley face or something and you will be on the wall.... i will catch you on the rebound ..... ron *****

[Sushov23]

I'm going with TV on the radio, into the rest of Amadou and Mariam, then the bboys. I just realized sat late night is weak. Why not save santogold for late night?

[sin213]

bboys

[Backwater]

D-Lo, I'm gonna see some of Bruce then do the same thing as you. I'm resting up for Nine Inch Nails.

I'm not missing any of Bruce either. He'll tear it up, you probably won't want to leave, but we'll see. I also want to get a really, really good spot for NIN so no resting for me. Cocaine will assist me through Saturday evening.

[TommyboyUNM]

I wanna check out as much of Amadou & Mariam as possible. I might even skip out on all of TV On The Radio since I've seen them before.

Sushy, I think you mean Friday late night. And it's not the best, but the rolls will allow me to have a blast. See THAT'S when the drugs really come in handy for me. When there's time to kill.

[hawkingvsreeve]

While I am excited for it, I dont think we should hype up this NIN too much. If he is going to be playing mostly stuff from the last 3 records, it will be good, but not great. If he digs deep into the Fragile, Downward Spiral and Broken EP, then everyone around me gets an excited punch in the neck. Lets hope for those punches.

If he plays Just Like You Imagined I will lose. my. fucking. shit.

[pancakespancakes]

So will I. I've been loving Talking Heads lately. Plus, if it weren't for the sound issues, TVOTR wouldn't really have been that bad at Coachella.

I am looking forward to seeing them again after Street Scene, since that was my first, now that Dear Science is out and I know it well and love it with all my heart. Can't miss a second of the Reverend though, so second half it is.

[Backwater]

Fax, you're going to hate me for this but I'm seeing David Grisman and some Elvis Costello instead of Wilco. I've just seen Wilco too many times already.

[Sushov23]

I wanna check out as much of Amadou & Mariam as possible. I might even skip out on all of TV On The Radio since I've seen them before.

Sushy, I think you mean Friday late night. And it's not the best, but the rolls will allow me to have a blast. See THAT'S when the drugs really come in handy for me. When there's time to kill.

Yeah, I meant friday. ooops. Saturday is so good, then friday is just meh.

[Backwater]

If he digs deep into the Fragile, Downward Spiral and Broken EP, then everyone around me gets an excited punch in the neck. Lets hope for those punches.



If? There's no doubt in my mind he will. Not only is this the last show ever, but it's bonnaroo. Have you seen the Tool and Radiohead setlists?

[sin213]

i wanna see wilco finally. i'll go with you faxy.

[pancakespancakes]

Has the NINJA tour started yet? What's NIN's shows been like anyway now that the big lights show is history? I would like to know to planb my Saturday a little better...

[suprefan]

If he plays Just Like You Imagined I will lose. my. fucking. shit.


If you saw what was played back in February, you would be pleased. The Fragile (the song), The Downward Spiral (the song), Something I can Never Have, La Mer, Suck, Reptile, Dead Souls, The Big Come Down, Wish, Gave Up, Burn, and Non Entity are some of the songs they did. I expect those and some that havent been done in a while too.

No Ghosts songs to be played this tour, a few covers, The song Lights In The Sky will be played, and Closer WILL NOT BE PLAYED. (Trent stated this in an interview yesterday)

[sin213]

tomorrow in florida

[sin213]

and Closer WILL NOT BE PLAYED. (Trent stated this in an interview yesterday)

FINALLY!

i like the song, but give it a rest already...

[Backwater]

As far as Friday late night goes, I'm so glad Phish is playing. Now I won't have to decide between nostalgia hip hop and jokes of DJ's getting their Plurs on.

[pancakespancakes]

Closer WILL NOT BE PLAYED. (Trent stated this in an interview yesterday)

My sister is going to be sad to learn this news

[TommyboyUNM]

Brandon, NIN is one of my all-time favorite bands. So it's not really about the set list for me. It's just about them playing and being on, which they almost always are. And I'm confident we'll get a ton of old gems.

[chiapet]

I actually would really like to see closer played. So sue me. Ideal set with me would be a lot from PHM, Broken, some from TDS and very little "new"

[TommyboyUNM]

I actually would really like to see closer played. So sue me. Ideal set with me would be a lot from PHM, Broken, some from TDS and very little "new"


Don't tempt us to post ideal NIN set lists. :) Cause we'll do it.

[pancakespancakes]

Schedule's up on Bonnaroo official site now in case anyone cares. It's too legit to quit now!

[suprefan]

I actually would really like to see closer played. So sue me. Ideal set with me would be a lot from PHM, Broken, some from TDS and very little "new"

The Fragile isnt ''new'', so you can put that into your little list there.

[pancakespancakes]

I still would really like a Cinema Tent schedule :nono

Here's hoping for another Late Night Noir on Saturday morning...

[chiapet]

supre, embarrassingly I've not listened to it much. I lost interest in NIN in the mid-90s. I've been catching up recently.

Ryan, it's been up for hours. You guys forced me to go customize my schedule (and redo my sasquatch one) while in meetings earlier. ;P

[paulb]

NIN to play LAST at the LAST US show ever!

[Backwater]

Ryan, it's been up for hours. You guys forced me to go customize my schedule (and redo my sasquatch one) while in meetings earlier. ;P

That was just on COS though, could've been fake.

They'll have late night noir again I'd think.

[Backwater]

To all the people who did much more research than I did. Are any of these Thursday bands really can't miss? Thursday is usually my comedy night.

[pancakespancakes]

Just Portugal the Man for me, then I'll be checking out what's in the Comedy Tent...

Last year seemed to be unusually stellar for Thursday.

[chiapet]

No, when I logged on earlier and started commenting it was already up on Roo's site. :)

[chiapet]

Tim, don't you like Rap/hip-hop? What about Murs and The Knux? I think White Rabbits is good also.

[Backwater]

Tim, don't you like Rap/hip-hop? What about Murs and The Knux?

I've seen Murs like eight times. He's been at most Scribblejams. Haven't heard the Knux yet, what are some good songs from them? Keep in mind, I love standup comedy and the tent is way too crowded and there's way too many conflicts with music for the rest of the weekend for me to even consider it again after Thursday.

[faxman75]

Fax, you're going to hate me for this but I'm seeing David Grisman and some Elvis Costello instead of Wilco. I've just seen Wilco too many times already.


No hate here. Joel (roommate) is actually as big a wilco fan as me and he's seeing Elvis Costello. I'm not big on Elvis and TomAZ assured me he is boring solo so 2 hours of Wilco it is!

[faxman75]

i wanna see wilco finally. i'll go with you faxy.

Awesome!

[faxman75]

and Closer WILL NOT BE PLAYED. (Trent stated this in an interview yesterday)

That's great news actually. Open up space for another song.

[pancakespancakes]

Backwater I'm in the exact same boat as you about the Comedy. The good thing is that this year's comedy lineup doesn't exactly strike me as stellar as the last 2 years.

[Backwater]

I think we'll be seeing each other very often that weekend pancakes.

[faxman75]

I actually would really like to see closer played. So sue me. Ideal set with me would be a lot from PHM, Broken, some from TDS and very little "new"

I had a bit of an NIN rebirth which I spoke of briefly a couple days ago. The Fragile, Year Zero and With Teeth are all incredible albums and should not be ignored.

[Backwater]

No hate here. Joel (roommate) is actually as big a wilco fan as me and he's seeing Elvis Costello. I'm not big on Elvis and TomAZ assured me he is boring solo so 2 hours of Wilco it is!

Don't forget the bluegrass legend. He's takes much precedence over both. I know Wilco is one of your favorite bands though.

[sin213]

I've seen Murs like eight times. He's been at most Scribblejams. Haven't heard the Knux yet, what are some good songs from them?

[faxman75]

Schedule's up on Bonnaroo official site now in case anyone cares. It's too legit to quit now!


That's where the link from the COS site took me. I didn't understand all the skepticism, the schedule was on the official Roo site.

[sin213]

the knux were in my top 10 for coachella

[faxman75]

To all the people who did much more research than I did. Are any of these Thursday bands really can't miss? Thursday is usually my comedy night.


Alberta Cross did really well at Coachella. Sounded loud and rockin'.

[paulb]

Who wants to camp at the barricade with Camp Canada after Mars Volta for NIN?

[faxman75]

Don't forget the bluegrass legend. He's takes much precedence over both. I know Wilco is one of your favorite bands though.

Yeah, you know i'll be at Wilco watching Nels shred and the band play rock n' roll. I'm very excited to see Wilco play for 2 hours at Roo.

[faxman75]

Who wants to camp at the barricade with Camp Canada after Mars Volta for NIN?

I will. I have nothing to do between Wilco and NIN, i'm contemplating moving up and sitting through The Boss, he's on the same stage right?

[apostle2]

That's where the link from the COS site took me. I didn't understand all the skepticism, the schedule was on the official Roo site.

The original was actually part of a facebook application based off of the Roo site. what he means is that the schedule is now up on the actual schedule grid in the information part of the bonnaroo site. so yes, now it is offish legit.

[Backwater]

Who wants to camp at the barricade with Camp Canada after Mars Volta for NIN?

I'd love to but I'm not missing Boss Time. If you guys could save a spot for me though I'll give you drugs, or beer, or whatever.

[apostle2]

I will. I have nothing to do between Wilco and NIN.

Boss Time.

[faxman75]

The original was actually part of a facebook application based off of the Roo site. what he means is that the schedule is now up on the actual schedule grid in the information part of the bonnaroo site. so yes, now it is offish legit.


Interesting. It looked like it took me to the official Roo site, I didn't realize it was a portal. :)

[faxman75]

I'd love to but I'm not missing Boss Time. If you guys could save a spot for me in I'll give you free drugs, or beer, or whatever.

Ahh I see now.

Paul. I will meet you at the Mars Volta after Wilco. It will be awesome to hang with you and Josh.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

It's going to be Boss Time for three and a half hours. I might get bossed out.

I will still be able to see most of top ten. Wilco, Erykah Badu, NIN, David Byrne, etc... I'm a little bummed about missing Beasties, but whatever.

Also, I feel like I'm going to see less bands in four days than I saw at Coachella. How is that possible.

Do sets usually start on time, or is there generally 5-10 minutes you can expect them to go late?

[pancakespancakes]

Also, I feel like I'm going to see less bands in four days than I saw at Coachella. How is that possible.


Well your answer actually lies right here my friend...




It's going to be Boss Time for three and a half hours.

Long set times for everbody.

[faxman75]

I'm still not convinced NIN is not adding any more dates after Bonnaroo. Do we have anything definitive on that? In his interview yesterday Trent confirmed this tour is it for a several years at the very least and people going to multiple shows will be happy with different set lists as well.

[apostle2]

I will definitely see less bands at Bonnaroo, but I love the long set times. Usually the sets start right on time, more so than other festivals. Also, I am debating how much time to give bruce before I stake out my NIN spot. I'm thinking 90 ish minutes.

[paulb]

Ahh I see now.

Paul. I will meet you at the Mars Volta after Wilco. It will be awesome to hang with you and Josh.

i wouldnt mind seeing some Boss Time....but NIN last show in north america>boss time

[faxman75]

i wouldnt mind seeing some Boss Time....but NIN last show in north america>boss time

I have no interest in Boss time. I was only going to watch for a good NIN spot before I realized it was 2 different stages we were talking about.

[amyzzz]

Where are you at when you wait in those special pit lines?

[sin213]

i wanna see some of bruce, but if he yells "It's Boss Time!!"...i'm leaving.

[sin213]

did you like those knux vids, tim?

[apostle2]

Where are you at when you wait in those special pit lines?

They run along the stage extending out to the sides, then cut 90 degrees and run outward, away from the stage. I don't know if we specified this, but the pits are only at the What Stage.

[faxman75]

I've taken matters into my own hands and decided to get thoughts and opinions from the NIN.com forum regarding last US tour date ever. I also threw out D$ idea of them using the LITS rig.

I think i'm just in denial over it being the last show ever.

[sin213]

so there is a barricaded section that you have to wait your turn to get in to? there is security there or something counting how many go in and out?

[faxman75]

They have a similar system at Sasquatch. I don't know that they count as much as they watch and see how full it gets.

[amyzzz]

They run along the stage extending out to the sides, then cut 90 degrees and run outward, away from the stage. I don't know if we specified this, but the pits are only at the What Stage.
Well, fuck, no one mentioned that. :nono
So now we're back to camping at the Which Stage for NIN then. So I guess I'm in with the Canada group thing or whatever.

[sin213]

yeah, i'll camp out too. i'll see some of bruce, but not all of it.

[apostle2]

They have a similar system at Sasquatch. I don't know that they count as much as they watch and see how full it gets.

They have two security guys at each gate in and one of them has one of the click counter things, but i'm not sure how stringent they are with it. they pretty much make a pathway to the pit with railings, and funnel people into the pit that way so they can keep the count accurate.

also, I have a pit tip that I am not going to post, I will give it in the camp, somebody remind me.

[faxman75]

PM?

[pancakespancakes]

I didn't realize that NIN are on the Which Stage... that's going to be such a crazy pushfest in between them and The Mars Volta.

I don't think I want to be up front for TMV anymore :nono

And on the bright side this means I could actually see Wilco!!

[woogie846]

Yeah, you know i'll be at Wilco watching Nels shred and the band play rock n' roll. I'm very excited to see Wilco play for 2 hours at Roo.

Arggh! I love Wilco too, but I don't want to miss Elvis Costello. But I do have the Wiltern shows. I'm going to have to think this one over.

[faxman75]

And on the bright side this means I could actually see Wilco!!

Fuck yeah flapjacks!

[faxman75]

Arggh! I love Wilco too, but I don't want to miss Elvis Costello. But I am seeing Wilco at the Wiltern at least two nights. I'm going to have to think this one over.


Yeah, i'm not very familiar with Elvis. I fail at that part of musicology. That said, there isn't a conflict and they are my favorite band. It would be like Paul B missing the Beastie Boys.

[sin213]

awwww,,,i didn't notice that costello was pushed up so close on wilco. i may have to do half and half on those two. i don't usually do that, but i really wanted to see costello.

[pancakespancakes]

Fuck yeah flapjacks!

But only seeing 45 minutes of a 2-hour set would be super lame. It's like I'd rather skip it altogether. I'm torn. They're the one band in my Top 10 of the weekend that I have to miss...

[LooseAtTheZoo]

They run along the stage extending out to the sides, then cut 90 degrees and run outward, away from the stage. I don't know if we specified this, but the pits are only at the What Stage.

So every other stage it's just like Coachella, in terms of getting to the front?

[sin213]

^ that question, plus...how pushy are people to get to the front? like coachella? or worse like lolla?

[TommyboyUNM]

But only seeing 45 minutes of a 2-hour set would be super lame. It's like I'd rather skip it altogether.


You can't be serious. Drama queen much?

[woogie846]

Yeah, i'm not very familiar with Elvis. I fail at that part of musicology. That said, there isn't a conflict and they are my favorite band. It would be like Paul B missing the Beastie Boys.

Hmm...this is definitely a tough one for me. Either way, I'm sure Wilco is going to have an awesome set.

[rage patton]

Except those of us (Josh and myself) who really want to see Yeasayer as well are fucked in the ass. Woo Roo!

What are you going to do Brandon? Seriously, this conflict is tearing me apart inside.


I didn't realize that NIN are on the Which Stage... that's going to be such a crazy pushfest in between them and The Mars Volta.

Pancakes, you do realize that there is a 4 hour and 15 minutes gap between TMV and NIN, right? And between that 4 hour gap... Boss Time will be playing for 3.5 hours of it. I expect the Which Stage to be pretty for at least the first 2 hours.

[faxman75]

I'm with you Canadians. I got nothing to do but get a killer spot for the last show.

[apostle2]

So every other stage it's just like Coachella, in terms of getting to the front?

Yeah, pretty much. The tents are exactly like coachella, and the Which Stage is like the outdoor theatre, except bigger and there is a center rail and walkway.


how pushy are people to get to the front? like coachella? or worse like lolla?

More like coachella than Lolla. the front is crowded and people will stake out spots all day, but the crowd spreads out and chills farther back. way, way better than lolla.

Yeah, there is a LOT of down time in there. Last year for MMJ I waited through Metallica and other than people on the front rail, people didn't start showing up until about an hour before they started.

[hawkingvsreeve]

What are you going to do Brandon? Seriously, this conflict is tearing me apart inside.

Well I have seen NIN before, so I am going to watch Yeasayer for at least 30 minutes, more if they really have me. I have a feeling the last 2/3rds of the NIN set is what is going to kill. I rarely see full sets anyway, and missing some songs doesn't bother me all that much, unless I miss Just Like You Imagined, in which case I will punch- ohyouknowtherest. Also I am not one to get up close because I don't think it sounds as good, and I need sufficient room to rock out. If you wanna tag team for Saturday night I'd be happy to hang out. Well, as long as I don't have to stand behind you at either show.

[rage patton]

Don't be surprised if Yeasayer keep you there for the full 45 minutes Brandon. I saw them last November and they were awesome. I cannot stress enough how much better they are live than on album. I don't know what I am going to do though. I do really want to see them, but this may be my last chance seeing NIN for a LONG time. Also, Yeasayer have a new album comming out sometime this year, so that must mean there will be a tour to follow. So I am most likely going to see all of NIN. If I somehow wind up at Yeasayer though, I will make sure you are not standing behind me.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Appreciated.

[TommyboyUNM]

I love Yeasayer, but they will tour some more. I'm guessing I'll get a chance to see them again. Hell, they may be added to Monolith and that would solve everything. Wishful thinking, but still.

[apostle2]

I'm thinking the same thing, Yeasayer are great live, but they have a bunch more touring left in them. If this is really it for NIN, at least for a while, I don't want to miss a second of it.

[hawkingvsreeve]

San Diego doesn't always get great shows (I say this as I am seeing both Mogwai and M83 in the same month) so I feel I need to take this opportunity to see Yeasayer while it presents itself. I could always try to find a cheap ticket to the NINJA tour and leave after NIN.

[woogie846]

The chances of seeing Yeasayer again are much higher than seeing NIN again.

[apostle2]

where have you been all day sal? what do you think?

[Backwater]

but this may be my last chance seeing NIN for a LONG time.

Don't miss any of NIN. This will probably be the last chance to see them ever, not just a long time.

[Boourns]

Holy shit, after looking at this schedule, I'm no longer bummed about missing this. St. Vincent vs Animal Collective vs Santigold, Beastie Boys vs David Byrne, Public Enemy vs Crystal Castles, Of Montreal vs Jenny Lewis, Elvis Costello vs Decemberists, Band of Horses vs Neko Case? Brutal.

[faxman75]

How long before Trent holes himself up in Vegas for a residency?

[faxman75]

Frank, did you see the pictures i took for you in the Asobi Seksu thread?

[rage patton]

Don't miss any of NIN. This will probably be the last chance to see them ever, not just a long time.

This won't be the end of NIN. But I am guessing this will be the last NIN show for about 4-5 years.

[hawkingvsreeve]

I checked TM and CL, and I can get tix for the NINJA show here even at the $75 price level if I wanted. Show is next week. If it makes everyone here feel better, I can always see them twice on this tour.

[hawkingvsreeve]

where have you been all day sal? what do you think?

Getting scolded in the Plursday thread.

[TommyboyUNM]

Didn't I already tell you that Byrne is scheduled to still be playing 45 minutes after Beastie Boys get off stage? They aren't playing at the exact same time. You CAN see both of them if you want. It's all up to you.

[sbessiso]

where have you been all day sal? what do you think?

Not happy.

Its just kind of lame that for the first time ever, a band is conflicting with a headliner. And not just any band, its David Byrne.

[TommyboyUNM]

Yes, you did. But im still bummed that I cant see each set in its entirety. They were my top acts


Be an adult and suck it up. You can still see them both, even if they aren't for entire sets. And you've seen them both before. So either you see an entire set of one or you see like 45 minutes to an hour of both. Either way you're getting a good experience.

Edit: Or you can even see Beastie Boys entire set and catch the last 35 minutes or so of David Byrne. What the fuck is the big deal?

[TommyboyUNM]

Its just kind of lame that for the first time ever, a band is conflicting with a headliner. And not just any band, its David Byrne.


Maybe they're just counting Phish as the What Stage headliner for Friday? I don't know. You guys do realize you're complaining about getting to see two awesome acts at a music festival. Right?

[apostle2]

yeah, I don't think anyone ever called beastie boys the headliners. Phish are headliners two nights, it just so happens that one of their slots is later...

[faxman75]

I think I will catch some of the Beastie Boys and most of Byrne.

[sbessiso]

3 1/2 hours for Boss Time is fucking intense!

[rage patton]

I dont think I will be seeing ANY Boss Time.

[sbessiso]

Jooooooooooosh,

COME ON

edit

i used your name. you know im cereal

[Backwater]

Yeah, BBoys are subheadliners. There's four headlining sets billed above them.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Pumpky, I missed you today, can you post me a B-Flow pic pretty pleez?

[rage patton]

Jooooooooooosh,

COME ON

edit

Im gonna use Boss Time as my Sleep Time.

Sorry.

[Daft Fro]

Animal Collective @ 2:45-4pm? Why not 2:45-4am??? I thought they have bright lights this tour.... Oh well, got my Wiltern floor tix anyway.

YYYs/Grizzly Bear/Santigold/King Sunny ugh... :nono

I'm still damned stoked though! Having missed the LITS shows last year, I'm can't wait to finally see NIN for the 1st/last time!

[paulb]

Yeah, BBoys are subheadliners. There's four headlining sets billed above them.

Animal Collective @ 2:45-4pm? Why not 2:45-4am??? I thought they have bright lights this tour.... Oh well, got my Wiltern floor tix anyway.

AC in the afternoon was probably the biggest letdown for me when I saw the set times. That and the Beastie Boys/David Byrne conflict.

[sbessiso]

Animal Collective, along with Of Montreal, Gov't Mule and Galactic in the daytime just boggles my mind.

Although I wasnt planning on seeing Public Enemy or MGMT but their late night shows are awfully appealing.

Saturday is EASILY the night that needs the most drugs. How do you guys feel?

[Daft Fro]

I wanted to be peaking for some AC. I can't do that in the damn afternoon =(

[Backwater]

just shut the fuck up now, tim. before somebody gets hurt

I'll go with a mattpach response here.

lol

[Mr. Dylanja]

There's no weapons allowed on The Farm, Pauly Walnuts, you can just go and whack somebody like up in Jersey.

[rage patton]

So... whats the deal with the Sonic Stage? Is it usually just acoustic? Or is it full band set up?

[Backwater]

Full band

[boarderwoozel3]

Some mean conflicts in there. David Byrne v Beastie boys is a crime.

3 1/2 hours of Boss time and 6 1/2 hours of Phish!!!! Promoters are getting their money's worth there. Phish unopposed to close the last 3 1/2 hours of the festival is a very roo thing to do.

[paulb]

I for some reason dont see Quasar on the Sonic stage....wtf?

[apostle2]

it'll be more than 6.5 hours of phish too. no way they cut off at 2 am friday night...

[boarderwoozel3]

Yikes. Those fuckers are going to outlast people's trips.

[trancehiphop]

Sup gang?!! Do you think that they are simply fucking with us by releasing the lineup a full month ahead of the festival? That just seems a bit odd to me. I don't know why, call me crazy.

[Mr. Dylanja]

It'd be both fucked up and brilliant if they leaked it on purpose to gauge reaction then adjust accordingly, but do they care that much? No way :nono


Regardless I know you'll be raving it up with us to the TIMELESS TRANCE THAT IS OAKENFOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hawkingvsreeve]

Anyone seen Oakenfold lately? What does he play now? He's done some remixes that I have enjoyed quite a bit (The Faint and Bjork). Not holding out hope of hearing them though.

[rage patton]

Hey D, are you gonna be at TMV with me and Pancakes?

[trancehiphop]

Regardless I know you'll be raving it up with us to the TIMELESS TRANCE THAT IS OAKENFOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHAHA I want to but I have yet to checkout girl talk, I don't want to miss him twice. I will wander over to oakenfold for sure after girl talk is done melting my face. I wish they cared that much! LOL! I just can't wait to experience it all once again. Dylan you're going to bonnaroo!!! LOL! We didn't even meetup that much when we were at coachella. I just remember me giving you random high fives throughout the Groove armada set and us just going NUTS when he started mixing justice in his set...EPIC

[Mr. Dylanja]

Hey D, are you gonna be at TMV with me and Pancakes?

Have you already forgotten my enthusiasm? I think THE ZZZIZZLER is down and most if not all of my friends too. I really wish they were a night set (along with almost every other afternoon band).

[rage patton]

Have you already forgotten my enthusiasm? I think THE ZZZIZZLER is down and most if not all of my friends too. I really wish they were a night set (along with almost every other afternoon band).

Yes! TMV with Pancakes, Dizizlyerzizlez and Amyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is gonna be awesome!

Also, I am REALLY hoping TMV blast through their set time and play a 2.5 hour set, instead of a measley hour and 15 minute set. I have a feeling they will go over by at least a bit...

Also, what time does the sun set at Bonnaroo?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I'm not sure but, my guess is 6-7ish but they do these big smoke rings that are awesome!! I think it's every hour, I'm talking huuuuuuuuuuuuge smoke rings.

[trancehiphop]

LOL! The smoke rings are amazing. I remember pulling up to the camp grounds last year with my brother and his friend. And we see these huge smoke rings. I shout out the car like a 5yr old old, "LOOK AT THOSE SMOKE RINGS!" The guy giving out wristbands shakes his head and smiles, "Welcome to Bonnaroo".

[JSam67]

Yeah. But Tommy, people are throwing down a lot of money and investing time and travel into it. They need to feel they're getting what they put into it back. And if most of the main reasons you are going are going to conflict, you don't have that kind of confidence in getting a good return for your investment. And a lot of us have never been to Bonnaroo so we don't have the dedication to make us overlook what we perceive to be poor scheduling like we might with Coachella. And with so many competing festivals out there . . . etcetcetc.

A perfect summation of how I feel, Patrick. At least we have time to think it over.

[amyzzz]

If we're waiting at the Which stage for 4 hours (NIN), I may as well watch the Mars Volta set. Kinda want to catch some of Decemberists though. You guys want to be close for TMV?

[caco0283]

Hi Amy. How are you today

[amyzzz]

Fucking hell. Airfare shot back up again. I think I'm going to cry.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

it'll be more than 6.5 hours of phish too. no way they cut off at 2 am friday night...

And no way they cut off on Sunday too.

[sbessiso]

I feel a little better now that I slept on it. There were a shit load of conflicts for me last year too, Im just remembering.

I didnt get to see any comedy last year and I do not wanna do that again this year. I need to find a way to make that work.

Also,

YYYs Vs. Santogold = :(:(:(:(:(

[caco0283]

Im doing great Amy. Good luck on the plane ticket situation.

[caco0283]

I caught him at an Ultra After Party and he did play a Bjork remix

[canexplain]

good morning gang, i had to go out and take a smoke break inbetween catching up with this damn thread :) dylan, yea MHF for sure .... steve are you going to the roo? and i thought of my halloween costume i think ..i may need a few more add on suggestions though .. cr****

[chiapet]

Amy, someone was telling me that airfare prices drop mid-week (are lowest Tuesday night, and Wednesday) and then are more expensive again on Friday-Sunday... I'm sure they'll go down again.

i think someone might have meant that it's cheaper to actually fly on those days, not buy tickets on those days. i buy airfare like monthly and haven't noticed this.

[Boourns]

Sorry gang, but going to The Mars Volta in the brutal Elvis Costello vs Decemberists battle is like taking the Pepsi challenge and choosing Jif.

No offense to Elvis Costello, but I don't think I'm seeing any of them. Wilco > rest up > some of Bruce > Nine Inch Nails.

[Mr. Dylanja]

You're right Boourns, I really should catch at least some Elvis, I've seen the Decemberists before.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Fuck the decemberists. Saw them at Roo 07 and have no interest in catching them again

You'd see them again up close and personal if the same act was following them tho, right?

I wonder what MGMT will do for 90 minutes.

[miSTEVEious]

Anyone seen Oakenfold lately? What does he play now? He's done some remixes that I have enjoyed quite a bit (The Faint and Bjork). Not holding out hope of hearing them though.

I was wondering this too....is he still doing trance, or has he changed it up? As much as I hate it I'm *KIND OF* looking forward to his set...

[TommyboyUNM]

I wonder what MGMT will do for 90 minutes.


They'll spend most of that time playing to misguided people who chose them over Nine Inch Nails.

[chiapet]

Ivy, no they meant prices (for any day of the week) fluctuate at regular intervals during the week. It has something to do with how airfare rates are sent to 3rd party services? If you're not buying from the airline's site, a clearing house has been used to publish the prices and there are multiple fare levels with an amount of seats per tier. So there is allegedly a schedule to getting the cheapest tickets. Again, allegedly, that's better on Tues/Weds, and on any week day best at 10AM, 1PM, and 8PM ET. I don't know if the time of days are still true. This is old info. I haven't paid enough attention recently to verify, but airfare is definitely more expensive late in my evening.

[amyzzz]

Amy, someone was telling me that airfare prices drop mid-week (are lowest Tuesday night, and Wednesday) and then are more expensive again on Friday-Sunday... I'm sure they'll go down again.
Chia, thank you for telling me this. I will wait until next Tuesday then. I was wondering if something like that was happening because it seemed suspicious for it to jump up on Friday.
(I was thinking, is it because set times are out now?? hehe)

[JSam67]

(I was thinking, is it because set times are out now?? hehe)

So you'd force yourself to sit through some great live acts? Oh no!!

And you have even looked at the schedule much? Or did you just have knee-jerk reactions based on barely glancing at it?

[canexplain]

So I think I might act grown up and go to Seattle instead of going to the roo (: not sure yet …. I talked (email) with the UK guy that might get me tics and he said this is the first time they have tried this at the roo (they mostly do European fests) so he didn’t know what the chances were of the roo sending his business tics ….. So two questions: if I get the tics and don’t go, would a couple of people think about the bands and send me a couple of reviews? I guess you could just post them here but it would be better if I actually had it from you …. 2nd if you have to pick up the tics at the venue, does anyone want my info and they can try and get them yourselves? You could probably sell them for a couple of hundred for the pair, maybe use it as a money pool for the Coachella/roo bunch and just have a toast (ed) for me …. Just thinking ahead thinking I will get lucky …… cr****

[amyzzz]

He was voicing his displeasure with the set times, Zeez.

I know this, but he was being illogical. And I had to point that out. :p

Also, I don't know if any of you know this, but on Thursday, June 11th, it will be my fiancee and I's 4 year anniversary. So that is making Bonnaroo that much more special. :)

[JSam67]

Tommy takes issue with anyone who doesn't talk about Bonnaroo the way that he does. He's BonnaMenik. (No offense, lurking menik)

I'm just pointing out that you had a drama queen reaction yesterday and didn't even know Byrne was scheduled to still be playing 45 minutes after Beastie Boys get off stage until I told you. Same with the NIN/MGMT thing. So I had a serious question. How closely did you look at the schedule before you formed an opinion.

[sbessiso]

I made a mistake thinking MGMT were after NIN. They still are, theres some overlap. Jesus

[TommyboyUNM]

[JSam67]

You pick and choose to comprehend what I say. I've talked about a few things I wish Bonnaroo did differently. I've also pointed out the conflicts I'd rather not have.

Yes, you have. But almost every time someone has a complaint about Bonnaroo, you ridicule them. Not all of us have been to Bonnaroo, T. I've been to enough fests to know that I would love it there.

But it's fucking expensive and the set times, believe it or not, do affect those of us trying to figure out if we can afford it or wait for a year where the music/set times actually coincide more with our personal tastes.

[caco0283]

Only thing that I'm unhappy about is Animal Collective playing so damn early but at the same time at least I don't have any conflicts with them being on early.

[sbessiso]

I wasnt even complaining

[Blinken]

I don't know, for me these conflicts aren't nearly as bad as the Coachella ones were for me this year. They were brutal. These not so much. Plus remember they are not 100% done yet, still no Super Jam on the Schedule I don't think they would cancel the Super jam.

[sin213]

superjam is the last night, right? there is a huge space open for the superjam once the last phish set is done.

[sbessiso]

No, its most definitely not the last night. They always have a band close it out, its usually Widespread Panic but this year we have PHISH

[JSam67]

I don't know, for me these conflicts aren't nearly as bad as the Coachella ones were for me this year. They were brutal. These not so much.

Really, Eric? Man, I thought GV nailed it this year. Yeah, I missed The Orb and The Presets, but saw close to everything else I wanted to see. Different tastes strike again!

[Boourns]

Goldenvoice nailed Sunday. Friday and Saturday were disastrous.

[amyzzz]

Tommy please im begging you, find someone else. PLEASE
Salah, he HAS been ragging on everyone else! :lips

[JSam67]

Friday was a disaster, Frank? Hmm, let's see. I saw full sets of The Black Keys, Franz Ferdinand, Leonard Cohen, Silversun Pickups, and Paul fucking McCartney. Sounds like the greatest day of my life, actually.

[SoulDischarge]

Relax.

Don't do it!


Anyway, you know what would have made a GREAT alternative to Phish on Friday?

I remember LAST year's Coach when I had FOUR BANDS I WANTED TO SEE PLAYING THE SAME TIME on Sunday. And I think I chose the wrong band. (Autolux/Swervedriver/Book Shade/Gogol Bordello)

[SoulDischarge]

Coachella had conflicts and all but I got to see everyone REALLY important that I need to see, and there were always lot's of options. Not everything was crammed into the day time hours and then desolate at night. The exception being maybe 45 minutes of MBV, and it's kind of obvious why that decision was made.

And I'm not just talking about the headliners going unopposed at Bonnaroo. I just mean there's sooooooooo much going on during the day and then like 5 choices all night.

[miSTEVEious]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[clecirclecir]

Claypool's entire Oddity Fair lineup would be a great alternative to Phish sat.

I was getting my hair washed during Gogol's set. Also tripping balls. Great choice

Really, Eric? Man, I thought GV nailed it this year. Yeah, I missed The Orb and The Presets, but saw close to everything else I wanted to see. Different tastes strike again!

Oh yeah, there wasn't much I wanted to see on Saturday to begin with Mastodon, Atmosphere, were my top two. I also wanted to check out MSTRKRFT and Gang Gang Dance. It was a complete cluster fuck. While on Sunday there was no one I wanted to see in that time slot. :nono

I would maybe like something else to see while Phish is playing but hey Bonnaroo made the decision years ago to not have conflicts with headliners. I am fine with that I can rest up.

[SoulDischarge]

I would respect it more if it were ONE night (yes I knew they were playing two nights but still, an hour unopposed one night, and 3 another is too much) and didn't fuck with David Byrne.

I have no desire to see David Byrne so that conflict doesn't do anything for me.

Looking over the set times again, I dont really have many conflicts as much as im just not gunna be able to walk around and explore as much as id like to. Its not so bad, its not so bad.

Wow, really? He's really good dude. REALLY GOOD

Oh man. This is going to be the most fun set of the whole weekend! I'll date rape you into going if I have to. Maybe even I don't have to. ;)

So wait, how many of us are at all of Byrne and how many all of Beasties?
I'm in for Byrne, obviously. (And no, I'm not selling my ticket.)

[clecirclecir]

i've already posted this once but is anyone in interested in sharing a rental car from chattanooga airport to bonnaroo and back?

[SoulDischarge]

I'd probably bitch less if we got Animal Collective or Of Montreal or Yeah Yeah Yeahs or something I'm genuinely excited for as a late night set.

THIS. AC so early in the day was really a heartbreaker for me. Hopefully they'll do an aftershow at Lolla so I can see them appropriately.

[sbessiso]

*sigh*

Josh, I think im in for all of Beasties and last 45ish minutes of Byrne. Theres a good chance that'll change but for now thats the tentative plan.

I knew YYYs werent gunna be late night but of montreal's time slot is fucked the fuck up. Has Bonnaroo even seen their shows before? It requires DARKNESS!!

[chiapet]

Amy is talking about Gogol in 08 not 07. 08 was eh. 07 killed.

Jason.... "hope" we're set up by 5 or 6?? If we're planning on getting in line at 6:30 or 7AM we sure as hell better be in camp after 10-11 hours! I dunno about you guys but I can have my camp together in 10 minutes. Of course, we haven't figured out what we're doing about canopies.... :)

It's ok, dude. You saw Byrne on his own already. And just living vicariously through you at that show was one of the most rewarding moments of my life.

[chiapet]

I admit, I'm also heartbroken about of Montreal being in daylight, but hopefully it won't be ridiculously hot.

Are you still going to try to swing ATP or is that out completely?

[Boourns]

Friday was a disaster, Frank? Hmm, let's see. I saw full sets of The Black Keys, Franz Ferdinand, Leonard Cohen, Silversun Pickups, and Paul fucking McCartney. Sounds like the greatest day of my life, actually.

Two of those bore me, but yeah, I missed:
beginning of Morrissey (he disappointed, but missing "This Charming Man" sucks major)
all of Beirut
all of Franz Ferdinand
all of Crystal Castles
all of A Place to Bury Strangers
all of Crystal Method (but the appearance of LMFAO = glad I missed the Crystal Method)
all of Girl Talk
all of Bajofondo (not due to conflicts but to the 40 minute queue to enter)

Seeing Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney made the day (and the weekend) worth it alone, but still, could have been better.

I'm getting ready to go leave for Chitown and see Mogwai, so I don't have much time to chat about it, but expect a call from me soon about this. If I go, I wanna do it so I can maybe swing into Ohio and road trip with you. That's a lot to work out, I know, but believe me, it's high on my wish list.

7 hrs would be 2pm, if we got in line at 7am. and whats the chance we're all going to get up and get moving right away. there are always a few to wait on while they get their last min items from walmart or just need to find something in their bag before we go...or won't wake up easily...

I'm extra disappointed about this because the only time I got to see them was Outdoor Theater in '07 in the middle of the day and it was just to hot to enjoy it. I was really looking forward to a set in an appropriate setting. And it's not like they're going to come to Ohio any time soon. I'll try to stop whining so much and start getting excited.
