It's not really that expensive, Salah, considering how much more you can spend on the expensive frames and glass. And yes, my name is Micah. Nice to meet you too. Did you ever get to see MOF when they were touring?

[MissingPerson]

Framing is bloody expensive. It's a constant source of rage to me.

Just throwin' that in.

[suprefan]

It does suck cause AF makes some of the best posters out there in recent times.

[Mr. Dylanja]

When is SupreROO, 2012?

[sbessiso]

Sadly no. Atlanta was the nearest stop and its exactly a hop and a skip away. I decided that I just couldnt spend the $$ on ticket, gas, drugs, food. As much as I wanted to.

thanks for reminding me :(

[Alligator Bogaloo]

Just think about all the good shows you saw at Bonnaroo this year. That should turn that frown upside down.

[sbessiso]

BOSS TIME!

my god, bruce springsteen was so intense. the molly had nothing to do with it

[liquidsnake28]

Over at inforoo they're all saying:

DMB (makes sense because they haven't played since 05, and they were great then)
KOL (as a subheadliner, whatever)
Stevie Wonder (this has me excited)

[Mr. Dylanja]

Damn, Stevie would be amazing on the farm.

Thanks for the info, Micah.

[liquidsnake28]

As long as he doesn't play I Just Called to Say I Love You. When the boss played Santa Claus is Coming to Town I felt embarassed for him.

[Mr. Dylanja]

The drugs are there to mask your embarrassment.

[yeahfontaine]

As long as he doesn't play I Just Called to Say I Love You. When the boss played Santa Claus is Coming to Town I felt embarassed for him.

Ha! We were on the ferris wheel when he played that. Such a surreal moment...

[liquidsnake28]

Oh and another one I forgot, Further is supposedly going to headline. Yes, Further. You're probably thinking "who in the fuck is that?" It's basically what The Dead call themselves now. I could definitely see them closing out Sunday if MMJ doesn't. Oh and MMJ is most definitely a jamband. There is no argument. I can't possibly see how anyone can see them live (a full set, not the measly one hour or so they got at coachella 08) and think otherwise.

Sunday festival closers:
05 - Widespread Panic
06 - Phil Lesh and Friends
07 - Widespread Panic
08 - Widespread Panic
09 - Phish

I love how they do this. They keep the tradition of closing with a jamband every year to remind everyone of their roots. The last 15 minutes of Widespread Panic in 05 was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life, they had about 40,000 people dancing into a fucking FRENZY. Phil and friends in 06 was cool for two reasons, I finally got to hear Shakedown Street live and it rained during Box of Rain.

[canexplain]

Furthur is really just Phil and Bobby. I think if they do the roo, micky will be there too. Just a guess. So I am trying to decide between coachella and the roo. I WILL be at one of them this year .... grrrrrrr ..... cr****

[liquidsnake28]

Furthur is really just Phil and Bobby.

Which is really all that's left who helped defined the band. While I love Mickey and Bill's drumming, it's not exactly a distinctive part of their sound. Bobby really needs to stop trying to sing. Have you heard the Rothbury bootleg? Fucking awful. String Cheese Incident, on the other hand, was phenomenal at Rothbury. That break was just what they needed. I wouldn't be surprised if they're at roo next year.

The latenight conflicts in 07 were so brutal, SCI/Superjam/STS9 on friday and Flaming Lips/Gov't Mule/Galactic/Sasha and Digweed on saturday. I'm glad I went with Gov't Mule because John Paul Jones came out and played No Quarter with them (the best Led Zepplin song.) How'd they manage to fuck up so bad last year. Piss poor late nights (besides NIN) and no Superjam ... wtf?

I heard Superjam happened early, early, Saturday morning after Nine Inch Nails, with Trent Reznor, Warren Haynes, and Grace Potter. Just hearsay though

[rage patton]

The Phoenix->Crystal Castles->Girl Talk combo was a ton a fun. I had a great time Friday night. My only regret is leaving to go check out Paul Oakenfold. Should have stayed at Girl Talk.

[liquidsnake28]

Trent and Warren?!?! Oh fuck, that'd would've been so awesome. Can anyone else confirm or deny this? The 07 Superjam was really special, ?uestlove and JPJ is a rhythm section that you normally just dream about like something in the Create Your Supergroup thread.

[TommyboyUNM]

Please explain to me why you need to pay somebody to frame a poster for you. You just put the poster in the frame......right?

Girl Talk was really fun right? I don't think I would ever pay for a Girl Talk show, but at a festival he is a priority based on how much fun his show is.

Sushy, I'm not sure how you define "fun." When I saw him at Monolith, I was annoyed. A bunch of corny songs I don't like mashed up into one big pile of shit. FUN.

[liquidsnake28]

I'm glad I was at Phish and Phoenix avoiding all the plur faggotry.

tommy we've gone over this many times before. You enjoy your time at a concert however you will, and I'll enjoy myself. No need to get nasty about it.

[TommyboyUNM]

Two of them. I bought the frames and put the posters in the frames. Now they're on my wall.

[TommyboyUNM]

There is a need to get nasty about it because my way is the right way and your way sucks.

Before Bonnaroo, I didn't really like Girl Talk. I remember in 07 when I was researching bands, I didn't even listen to one full song on his myspace before skipping. I tried listening to him a few times since them... and I guess its not really my thing. However, at Bonnaroo I decided I might as well give him a chance because I had a decent spot already and I heard he was fun live. And he sure was. I really enjoyed his set. The energy of the crowd was amazing. The music was meh, but the atmosphere and the energy was awesome. Girl Talk looks like he has A LOT of fun up on stage, I love seeing performers enjoy their work live. Like I said, the music wasn't very memorable, but the experience of the show was. I left the set with a big dumb smile on my face. Then I got to Paul Oakenfold... ugh.

[MissingPerson]

Please explain to me why you need to pay somebody to frame a poster for you. You just put the poster in the frame......right?

Sometimes, you have a really nice poster that's not a standard size. Or I guess you might want special glass or something. But other than that, I really don't see the need, which is why the crazy expense makes me cranky.

[liquidsnake28]

I will say that Sasha and Digweed playing until the sun came up in 07 was pretty awesome. Relaxing to some trance in the back of the tent after a mind blowing Gov't Mule was perfect. They should have an electronic act do that every Saturday night/morning of roo.

[TommyboyUNM]

Way to be elitist about it Tommy. Did you buy your ticket for Bonaroo 2010?
EDIT- You also came off like Randy with this post, what the hell is going on buddy?

I'm waiting for the lineup, and other variables, before I buy my ticket. And it's not being elitist, it just is what it is. Girl Talk sucks and I've seen it for myself. I had the displeasure of sitting through him before Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And, yes, I was sitting. I'm not forcing myself to dance to crap I hate.

[rage patton]

You don't have to like Girl Talk, Tommy. I was just saying I had fun at his set. I have no desire to go out and listen to his music or tour stalk him or anything like that. It was just fun. More fun that Paul Okenshitthebed anyways.

[liquidsnake28]

The only decent thing I've ever heard Girl Talk do was a mashup of pumpkins 1979 and a triple six mafia song (I think it was Stay Fly) and that lasted a whopping 20 seconds or so.

[liquidsnake28]

Whatever happened to intellectual property and copyright laws anyway? Girl Talk is just immune to them or what? Arrest that fucker.

[sbessiso]

When the boss played Santa Claus is Coming to Town I felt embarassed for him.

My friends and I left BOSS TIME! for just a moment to go back to camp and get some shit. I will never ever forget all of us stopping what we're doing, looking up and saying something along the lines of "Is Bruce Springsteen playing Santa Claus is coming to town?!?!?!"

Fuck I love Bonnaroo.

Fair use doctrine. The mash-ups constitute original use of material.

[Gribbz]

I don't like Bruce Springsteen. Am I an asshole?

[canexplain]

I don't like Bruce Springsteen. Am I an asshole?

We went thru this before the roo last year. A lot of people here don't like Bruce, but to see him live changes most people's mind. You may still not go home and put on a Bruce cd, but my guess is you would enjoy a live show. cr****

[Sushov23]

Bruce live is amazing Ron, I def agree with you there.

If nothing else, Max Weinburg is at least really fun to watch play.

[amyzzz]

I heard Bruce's version of Santa Claus on the radio the other day and fondly remembered hearing a bit of it at Bonnaroo.

[scoop49er]

bruce does a great version of that song and he was very good at the Roo..

[MindEnoch]

Medeski Martin and Wood should play....

[Aurgasm]

Medeski Martin and Wood should play....

its been awhile since i've seen them at bonnaroo.

im going this year. yay

[faxman75]

Fair use doctrine. The mash-ups constitute original use of material.

No shit? What a crock. The first time I listened to Girl Talk, I was all like 'this is pretty catchy but he's just playing the best parts of every song'. I mean, how hard is that. I thought the talent of a DJ was to play music that will get you to dance by using samples that weren't obvoius or you know, killer beats. I still decided to check him out at Coachella but I only lasted about 3 minutes before I felt the whole thing was ridiculous and cheezy. I can understand how it can be fun in a house party kinda way though.

[liquidsnake28]

Actually it's now Medeski, Martin, Wood and Scofield. It's annoying saying all four of their last names, they should just come up with a name for the band already. When they played with Robert Randolph as The Word in 05, that was awesome.

Mmm....do you think they will promote The Radiolarians with Scofield ?
Scofield was on the road "alone" for pretty much the whole 2009
http://www.johnscofield.com/tour.html
and i think they have finished touring their collabo record

[faxman75]

I recently stated I would make my way to the farm again this year if Guns N' Roses aka Axl and some people were to play.

The second act that would guarantee my attendance is Roger Waters performing The Wall. COS seems to believe there is a good chance of this happening.

[liquidsnake28]

Mmm....do you think they will promote The Radiolarians with Scofield ?


I've never heard of The Radiolarians. Anything to do with The Radiators? They're a great jam band. Scofield has been touring and recording with MMW for a while now, they just need to come up with a fucking name for the band.

Along with the Superjam they also need to bring back the Masquerade Ball. 06 may have been the only year they did it but it was awesome. They only let people in that were wearing costumes. My neighbors helped me throw some stuff together and I got in. The band playing had masks on the whole time so you didn't know who they were. I thought they would take them off at the end but they never did. I'm sure Les Claypool was the bassist because he was tall, skinny, and damn good. He has a distinct style too. Still not sure about any of the others but they were all great. They keep crap like the silent disco and xbox tent but they need to bring back the really fun stuff.

[Caligula]

I've never heard of The Radiolarians. Anything to do with The Radiators? T

no,its just the name of their new album

[scoop49er]

how great would it be to see roger waters perform the wall and then have AXL and co do a late night set....

im not a big axl fan but the songs are great so i would watch for nostalgia only... but the roo would fit nicely for them....

[softbulletin]

After the whole Kanye thing, I doubt Bonnaroo goes after such a risky band like GnR.

[liquidsnake28]

Exactly, I highly doubt GnR will be there. Lots of people are now saying Simon are Garfuknel are headlining a night which would be pretty awesome. There's also rumors of Smoky Robinson, Pixies, and Mew. I doubt all of those come true but we'll see, they don't really have many confirmations at all over there. Stupid hippies.

[softbulletin]

Yea there are a lack of rumors for Bonnaroo right now. Simon and Garfunkel isn't really a rumor, someone brought it up on Inforoo and we're just kind of talking about it. Pixies supposedly have a date in Israel June 9th so they seem unlikely. Mew is a possibility because they posted something to their myspace that they signed on for 3 music festivals but it was very vague. Haven't heard about Smoky Robinson though.

[faxman75]

Gwar lol

[Alligator Bogaloo]

Tier Two Tickets - Sold Out!

[TommyboyUNM]

Lazy fucking hippies haven't produced any solid confirmations or even rumors at this point. In a way that's kind of cool because it's more of a surprise when the lineup is announced.

[seandigi]

[hawkingvsreeve]

What's new Bonnaroo?




















WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA OOOOAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Airline]

I hope the whole lineup is a surprise, everybody knew about Bruce and Phish last year.

U2, Roger Waters, DMB, Pavement, Furthur, Stevie Wonder are a few rumors that are hardly more than guesses.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Brandon, I heard Paul Van Dyke is going to be this year's Choke 'n Fold, ARE.YOU.READY?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Ha.

Funny thing is that I own albums by both men.

Oh, late 90s / early 00s techno, how you fooled me.

[sbessiso]

Gwar lol

I loled too

[Gribbz]

That's pretty hilarious that GWAR is rumored. I hope U2 isn't there.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Pretty sure GWAR will make seandigi commit, he never misses a show.

[TommyboyUNM]

Wow, GWAR really is rumored. Hah. So is Dan Deacon and I'd see GWAR every single time over Dan Deacon.

[faxman75]

I thought you liked Dan Deacon at Lolla, Tommy.

I regretted bailing on that set because of how good the reviews were.

[Gribbz]

I need to buy a tent.

[TommyboyUNM]

I didn't loudly complain about it, but I didn't enjoy his set at all. He acted like a douche bag, I don't like his music, and the hokey-pokey bullshit he had the crowd do was pretty lame.

The only good part of that set was hanging out with Lilia, you, and Edward.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

lol and I bailed early. It seemed like he was trying to orchestrate a lot. I found his Coachella 2008 set fun but it was only him doing his interactive hardcore EDM Set. I'm fairly certain he did the hokey pokey then as well.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Yeah, Tommy is just being courteous. It was really just a good time for him because he got to hang out with me.

Hey Mark, are you planning to go to Bonnaroo? And off the subject, were you cold as fuck in Ireland? It's fucking freezing out here in the UK.

Hey tent shoppers (gribble and Micah) are we all gonna plan to camp in a group together if we all go? I really want to go but I also think a line up I like is what will get me there so I'm holding out on the ticket purchase.

My uncle bought 4 tix to the U2 show in SF in June and invited my brothers and I. Eh. I may go cause I really like San Francisco.

[TommyboyUNM]

Yeah, Tommy is just being courteous. It was really just a good time for him because he got to hang out with me.

You think you know me or something?



Actually, this is almost 100% correct. Sorry, Mark.

[suprefan]

Roger Waters performing The Wall would be awesome. Not sure if I will make it out to Roo this time, but you never know.

Its not happening, no festivals...

Hi Lilia, first of all Ireland was very cold but I can tolerate cold and the day I went to the Cliffs of Moher it was actually beautiful weather that day.

I'm undecided about Glastonbury. I know i'm going to Coachella and Sasquatch. I'm considering some of the smaller European festivals this summer/fall. I'm not sure which one's yet, but Pukkelpop, Rock En Seine and a couple of others. Glastonbury is looking less likely as i'm more interested in a smaller fest, good music and possibly a country I have yet to visit. I will probably make up my mind by March or so.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

Micah, I don't get it.

I was just being sarcastic about your camping post. Of course I'd like to meet up and camp together but you need to get a ticket first. Once you have a ticket we can start to plan how we're going to meet up. Until then, you're just Lucy with a football.

Yeah because Woodstock never happened. It was all a big lie. Just ask Ron.

We'll just chalk it up to me being a pussy for now. I don't have much desire to slop around in mud with 150K people, take shits in a hole and spend a fortune to eat shitty food and another grand or more just to get there. I can survive without the showering but the rest of the picture you painted sounded miserable to me. We'll see if I can put on my big boy pants and change my mind but so far I ain't doing it for U2, The rolling stones or Pearl Jam. I at least still have the option since my desposit is down though and I haven't ruled it out 100%. It's just looking less likely when I can spend that money on airfare and go to a country I haven't seen before with a smaller festival that is less of a chore.

[liquidsnake28]

Have you been to Spain? Primavera sounds amazing. I was set on going next year but reality sunk in and it would be irresponsible of me to spend that much money on going to europe. I'm definitely going to bonnaroo, pitchfork and rothbury since they're all within driving distance.

Glasto has the best festival food I've ever had, for the record. There's a massive love thread for everything at the efests board.

Yeah, I just tossed that in for some random reason. The people I met at Sasquatch this year were raving to me about Glasto before any of this and how unique and awesome it was. Something about one of the restaurants had waiters on stilts walk over and deliver you chocolate covered strawberries. It sounded like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

[unknown]

The photos Frank posted in his Glasto review thread looked so good but also looked like it would definitely have you shitting in a hole real fast.

If anyone catches me bitching about the heat at Coachella or humidity at Bonnaroo, smack me in my face and remind me about being dragged out to hike in the mountains in snow when it's 14 degrees out.

I've had a beanie glued to my head ever since I got here!

Comic con would be sweet. I just don't know when we would meet up. My brothers usually go and they're gone each day from way before I wake up till close to midnight. I don't usually attend but it's downtown so I'm sure we could find something to do. Maybe even something super nerdy dealing with the convention. Last year my brother got invited to a roller skating party by Seth Green. Ooh, fun.

Tommy, I know. You're very abusive towards me. You smacked me multiple times at Lolla and Street Scene. I don't even know why we remain friends.

Actually my real dream is to do Comic-Con....tripping muahahah

You're very smackable and you bring out my inner Ike Turner.

[unknown]

Yeah I think that pic of us at Lolla was right before you smacked me. Isn't Edward having a laugh at you getting your hand ready?

[Boourns]

I've always wanted to go to Comic Con. Had free passes in 2003 but stayed home to sit on the computer for Radiohead tickets all weekend.

[faxman75]

Tommy, I know. You're very abusive towards me. You smacked me multiple times at Lolla and Street Scene. I don't even know why we remain friends.

Isn't this typical behavior for Mexican men?

Out of line indeed.

:nono

Salah, you go to Comic Con for the comics, not the lame movie/tv preview crap.




I just realized I got a happy holidays card from Bonnaroo! It's even numbered on the back. wtf! #30/750.

[Boourns]

:nono

Yes. Comic Con, not Movie and TV Con. It's understandable for sci-fi/fantasy dork stuff, but it seems to overshadow the comic element nowadays. I heard that all the teen girls camped through all the other panels of the day to be there for Twilight and fans of those panels had to miss out. Although I have to admit, I was bummed about missing that Kristin Kreuk signing last year.

[liquidsnake28]

Hahaha, Gwar is the first official confirmation. One of the band members spilled the beans on a Sirius radio show. I love how this lineup will come as a complete surprise to us. Other than Gwar now we really have no idea. We can assume the givens like MMJ and WP but still only one solid confirmation. Gov't Mule is the best jamband in the world right now. They really need to bring them back. Last year they had a shitty timeslot against Wilco, Of Montreal and some other good stuff. I downloaded their NYE show from a couple nights ago and it was downright insane. Warren is one of the top ten greatest guitarists alive, maybe ever. Please bring them back.

[stinkbutt]

Gwar? wow awesome

Gov't Mule is great (this is coming from someone who hates jam bands) and that is really one of the only things I envy about the roo maybe some day Coachella will book them

[liquidsnake28]

Gov't Mule is one of the only things you envy about roo? I'd be cool if they played coachella but it would suck that they wouldn't get nearly enough time like with MMJ in 08 and they were a subheadliner so they would get even less time than them.

[stinkbutt]

Well that's kinda what I meant by that is that roo gets jam bands and gives them enough time to do their thing where as Coachella doesn't and I really wouldn't want them to. That being said I would love to see them someday at roo hopefully a late set Warren isn't as good during the day

[liquidsnake28]

Jambase just released their 10 Most Important Shows of the Decade list. They give a nod to Coachella at #3. I think it's a decent list but I'm sure most of you will disagree.

10. Phish - Big Cypress - 01/01/00

9. Phil Lesh and Friends - Oakland, CA - 12/91/00

8. The Concert for NYC - MSG - 10/21/01

7. Widespread Panic - 4/28/02

6. The First Bonnaroo - 6/21/02 - 6/23/02

5. Gov't Mule - New Orleans - 5/23/03

4. New Orleans Jazz Fest, post hurricane year

3. Daft Punk - Coachella 06

2. Radiohead - Bonnaroo 06

1. My Morning Jacket - San Fran - 12/31/06

Guns N' Roses do appear to be planning a N. America tour. I came across a date in my phone for July 10th in Phoenix. My phone searches national and international and lists all of the Canada and S. America dates but oddly enough it only lists the Phoenix date and no other US dates as the tour hasn't been announced yet. Sebastian Bach will be opening.

I guess we'll see if Bonnaroo takes a chance on them soon enough.

[liquidsnake28]

Why do you keep getting your hopes up about this when it's so unlikely? Is there any evidence at all that even suggests that they might be at roo? I haven't seen any and after Kanye (even if these currents tours do well) the chances are so slim.

[TommyboyUNM]

Tim, I don't think it's going to affect his life too much if Guns N' Roses doesn't play Bonnaroo. There is no harm is thinking about the possibility.

[faxman75]

Why do you keep getting your hopes up about this when it's so unlikely? Is there any evidence at all that even suggests that they might be at roo? I haven't seen any and after Kanye (even if these currents tours do well) the chances are so slim.

Lets talk about Kanye. Did that incident hurt Bonnaroo? Did it hurt Kanye? Nope. Both seem to be thriving, even after Kanye's silly award moment this year. What did Kanye do actually? Wasn't an hour of Kanye's delay due to Pearl Jam playing longer than expected and then Kanye was to blame for the other 45 minutes because he wanted to wait for the other stages to go silent?

Big deal. My GnR request is a wish list. Nothing more, nothing less.

My point is, I don't see festivals disqualifying artists or not inviting them based on them acting like Diva's or being fuck ups. Our beloved Paul T. didn't have a problem putting Amy Winhouses name on the poster last year after all that she has done and even after ditching out on her autograph session because she was trashed the last time she played Coachella.

People see Guns N' Roses on the poster and they know there is a chance for some rock star bullshit.

[liquidsnake28]

You seemed pretty set on GnR playing before and I was just suggesting not to set yourself up for a huge disappointment.


Lets talk about Kanye. Did that incident hurt Bonnaroo? Did it hurt Kanye? Nope.


Yes and yes, moreso Kanye because almost everyone realized it was his fault. Of course they're both still thriving. They're both gigantic and in their prime. Kanye fans were not happy at all. This wasn't anything career damaging but it still hurt them.


Wasn't an hour of Kanye's delay due to Pearl Jam playing longer than expected and then Kanye was to blame for the other 45 minutes because he wanted to wait for the other stages to go silent?


No and no. PJ had nothing to do with him being so late, he just said that and hoped some people would buy it. He waited much longer than you think. "the other 45 minutes" lol

Set? I don't think you are reading anything i'm saying. Not once did I say it was even likely. I think I said the equivalent of 'if GNR is at Bonnaroo then i'm there'.

That's not really set, is it?

I wasn't there. The stories I have read say Pearl Jam went over their set time by an hour. He has a pretty elaborate stage set up. I only know what I have read so if the delay was more than 1:45 minutes, how long was it?

I also don't follow how you can say yes and yes to the the question about it hurting Kanye or Bonnaroo when you have nothing to support that argument. Kanye's tour didn't suffer, his music sales didn't suffer, Bonnaroo's ticket sales didn't suffer or at least not in some way you can prove.

[Airline]

Well he'll never play Bonnaroo again, I can assure you of that. Not that Kanye really cares....

[liquidsnake28]

He has a pretty elaborate stage set up.

No he didn't. It was just a couple paper mache rocks. This was in the middle of the Glow in the Dark Tour and everyone who saw the actual tour said the stage set up was extremely disappointing. Well this was even more minimal than the regular tour dates. Salah said it was the lamest thing he's ever seen.


I only know what I have read so if the delay was more than 1:45 minutes, how long was it?


I wasn't there either. What I've read said PJ ended at around 12:55 and Kanye started anywhere from 4:25-4:45. Also he was originally scheduled for 8:15 but he demanded that they reorganize the schedule and change it so that he got a late night slot.

We're getting way derailed here though, the point is it was a much bigger deal than you're making it out to be and because of that lesson learned it's highly unlikely they would ever even try with GnR.

[faxman75]

No he didn't. It was just a couple paper mache rocks. This was in the middle of the Glow in the Dark Tour and everyone who saw the actual tour said the stage set up was extremely disappointing. Well this was even more minimal than the regular tour dates. Salah said it was the lamest thing he's ever seen.

I'm not going to argue with you but his set up was a scaled down version of his glow in the dark tour. That's how the whole mess started. He wanted to do the whole set up but it was too big so he had a scaled down version which was still big and still had many of the glow elements. This was far more than a normal band set up like say My Morning Jacket or Bruce.

Just because Salah said he was disapointed with it doesn't mean shit about how long it took to set up and what was involved with it. The fact is, he did his glow in the dark show. He didn't do some set that was absent of his Glow in the Dark set. He scaled it back a bit, no more no less.



I wasn't there either. What I've read said PJ ended at around 12:55 and Kanye started anywhere from 4:25-4:45. Also he was originally scheduled for 8:15 but he demanded that they reorganize the schedule and change it so that he got a late night slot.

Ok, and I have to agree with Kanye when said going on at 8:15PM in Tennessee when it's still completely light out in June would be fucking retarded especially when Bonnaroo was apparently going back and forth with him on whether the GITD stage setup would work. Finally they agreed a scaled back version would work and fit on the stage. That's how the story goes and like you say, who cares which side is right.




We're getting way derailed here though, the point is it was a much bigger deal than you're making it out to be

Not really. Kanye went on late. People were pissed. That's really the extent of it.


and because of that lesson learned it's highly unlikely they would ever even try with GnR.

That's fine but that's not really getting us back on track because as i've said multiple times now, I never said it was likely. They are on my wish list. Just like I said, we will find out soon enough. You spent all your responses making up arguments that didn't really exist for me.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

It would be nice if someone else would buy a ticket to this so we could start discussing going to the festival, instead of having to watch Mark and liquidsnake hit each other over the head with rocks over Kanye and GnR.

Could we please go back to the MMJ faggotry at least...

[apostle2]

that argument was so, so ridiculous. we need a line up, any line up, quickly. To prevent shit like that from happening again.

is liquidsnake bw Tim?

[TommyboyUNM]

Liquidsnake is, indeed, Backwater Tim.


I have a feeling My Morning Jacket will be on that lineup and I'll have to sell bone marrow (among other things) to go.

[apostle2]

huh. fancy that.

I'm thinking there will be a Monsters of Folk Superjam in the old school Sunday early evening slot. Which would obviously call for MMJ and a Conor Oberst solo set.

[liquidsnake28]

is liquidsnake bw Tim?

I guess you figured that out because I was actually talking about a jamband in the bonnaroo thread, hehe.

MMJ seems like such a shoe-in that there will be a whole lot of disappointed people if somehow they aren't on the lineup. Maybe they'll announce them as a late surprise which isn't really a surprise at all like WP in 08. They both took their turns having their year off.

[scoop49er]

i was there for the Kanye incident and to be honest, part of the blame goes to the Bonnaroo staff...

pearl jam went over time and then had to haul all their equipment out, then kanye wanted to try to put on some spectacle but you could see they could not get it fixed and it loooked terrible...

but kanye also deserves alot of shit cuz his whole organization should of been better prepped and his performance was horrible...

but it was a trip watching him perform with the sun coming up!

guns n roses could fit bonnaroo if they give Axl a late night spot and let him do whatever from 1am-5am....

[sin213]

what i never understood is how Kanye didn't know that he was scheduled for the opening slot before Pearl Jam. if it was going to be such an issue, why did he wait until the night of the show to cause a commotion about set times...?

[apostle2]

he didn't, it went back and forth for a while apparently with Kanye requesting a late night slot and Bonnaroo asking him to play on the Which stage. Bonnaroo caved. Kanye's late night set got announced the week of Bonnaroo, like maybe the Monday before and it happened on Saturday night.

[softbulletin]

There is also this:


Kanye and Usher specifically went out of their way to make it to Atlanta for the show. Usher flew in from a promo tour in Japan, while Kanye came to town, performed and flew right back out to make his concert at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee.

"Shout-out to Kanye, he flew all the way in," Jeezy said. "I had to throw him a private jet courtesy of Young."

And Pearl Jams set up was really minimal so I doubt they had much to do with it. Even with them ending late, Kanye's crew should have had from 12:55-2:15 to set up, a lot more than most bands have.

[faxman75]

This argument isn't going to die is it.

I think it's been established there were people to blame on both sides. Kanye is a dick but the promoters didn't help and Pearl Jam went late. It's already been established in this thread that it took Pearl Jam some time to take down before Kanye could start his elaborate set up.

The average break between acts on the main stage is about an hour. Every article out there says Pearl Jam played an hour longer than they were supposed to and that Kanye's stage was elaborate.

Did you guys ever read his angry apology?


Here's his side of the back and forth between Kanye and Bonnaroo.


“BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN’T LET’S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE’D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY’D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN’T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS!”

and then there's the rest of his rant err umm apology.


“MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, ” IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!” I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I”

“I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT’S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN’T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT’S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART.”

“WHEN I GOT 2 “THROUGH THE WIRE” I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN’T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT.” …
“I’M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I’M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… “

[liquidsnake28]

Who fucking cares??? I thought we buried this pointless discussion yesterday.

If the pattern continues we should have an amazing lineup this year:

02
03 - amazing lineups

04
05 - great but not amazing

06
07 - amazing

08
09 - great

2010 ... let's hope

[TommyboyUNM]

The bigger picture is that it didn't hurt Kanye nor did it hurt Bonnaroo. Both are very much successful. It was blown out of proportion and all it really means is that Kanye will never play Bonnaroo again.

Some of you come up with other theories like you are running the festival, when it reality you're really just guessing and don't know shit.

[TommyboyUNM]

Tim, the pre-06 lineups look fucking boring to me. I don't agree with your pattern.

[liquidsnake28]

Do you agree about 06 on though? I know you only went to the most recent two which I'm claiming to be worse so it's really hard to be objective... 07 was my favorite so far.

[TommyboyUNM]

I've liked all of the lineups since 06. I even liked last year's a lot. I'm biased with 06 cause of Radiohead. It's hard to put them into buckets of "great" and "amazing" cause all of them would've got me to go if I had the money.

[liquidsnake28]

I don't think "fucking boring" was the right way to phrase it. Perhaps "unfamiliar with most of the bands on the lineup so I can't form an honest opinion." I really wish I would have gone in 02 and 03 because there was a sense of doing something different at those. That feeling was still somewhat there in 04 and even in 05 but the first one would have been amazing to be at. Now it's just another mainstream music festival, the best one IMO but still just a mainstream fest. Oh well, there's about a hundred other successful smaller festivals in the country now to take it's place while bonnaroo is one of the big three, so it goes.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Bagwodder Teeyum loves his noodles and jam.

[liquidsnake28]

Noodles, haha. That word in reference to this festival brings back some serious memories. I used to have a friend who called himself Noodles. He was once playing around with a whole vial of acid (about 100 doses worth) in his mouth and he accidentally cracked it with his molars and digested the whole fucking thing. He was tripping for like a week straight. Dude is permanentaly crazy. True story.

[apostle2]

Then he joined The Offspring.

'07 had the best lineup

[liquidsnake28]

I was just looking at the 03 schedule, WOW. Friday goes (with no conflicts) MMJ > RJD2 or Yonder Mountain > Tortoise > Sonic Youth > Kid Koala > Neily Young > STS9 all night.
The Roots, The Flaming Lips and James fucking Brown played later in the weekend.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Sadly I wasn't at either but James Fucking Brown > Mother Fucking Prince.

[liquidsnake28]

The second confirmation is in, Alison Krauss and Union Station with Jerry Douglas. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-31528-Savannah-Life-in-Photos-Examiner~y2009m12d30-Alison-Krauss-on-Tour-with-Jerry-Douglas
"Alison Krauss and Union Station are currently touring with Dobro legend Jerry Douglas. The tour begins in January in Chattanooga, promoting Alison Krauss’ new album “Lonely Runs Both Ways.”
Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas have announced 26 dates with more to be added in the next upcoming weeks. The pairing will also make appearances at Bonnaroo and the Telluride Bluegrass festival this year."

I'll definitely watch this set because Alison has an amazing voice and Jerry Douglas is just awesome with everything he does. The first time I saw him I was just blown away.

There's also a rumor about Nada Surf which would be cool for 90's nostalgia. I only know that one "I'm popular" hit song.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Fuck! Alison Krause? Thats awesome.

[liquidsnake28]

Her and Robert Plant were there in 08. Their album together sucked though.

[sbessiso]

By "sucked" you mean "fucking rocked" right?

[faxman75]

We should all go discuss Rothbury some more. It's the new Bonnaroo.

[TommyboyUNM]

Rothbury is what Bonnaroo was in 2002, but in a forest.

[sbessiso]

Rothbury is what Bonnaroo was in 2002, but in a forest.

And thats why im dying to fucking go, I dont even care who's playing. Not this year but hopefully 2011.

Definite emphasis on the location. I dont ever get to see real forests

[TommyboyUNM]

I dunno, that seems like quite the journey just to do drugs in a forest.

[caco0283]

And thats why im dying to fucking go, I dont even care who's playing. Not this year but hopefully 2011.

Dude make a drive to the Everglades?

[rskapcat]

Uh, Lonely Runs Both Ways came out in 2004. Not sure why Alison Krauss & Union Station would be touring to promote it. I saw them on that tour. Amazing stuff.

[sbessiso]

Dude make a drive to the Everglades?

A different kind of forest. I love my everglades but sometimes I dont want swamp and stuff

[amyzzz]

SALAH, I want to go to Rothbury this year. Come with me!

[liquidsnake28]

I dunno, that seems like quite the journey just to do drugs in a forest.

[TommyboyUNM]

Yes, Tim, I've seen pics and video. It's a forest with lights.

I hope they nab better acts this year.

[rskapcat]

[liquidsnake28]

Coachella is even further of a journey for Salah "just to do drugs in a desert." Bonnaroo is an awfully far journey for you "just to do drugs on a farm."

[TommyboyUNM]

I actually really like the lineups at Bonnaroo. And I'm sober most of the time.

Salah said he didn't care about the lineup at Rothbury. That's the difference.

[amyzzz]

I just got July 6th off through my work a couple minutes ago. It's a sign that I must go to Rothbury. Now I just need July 2nd and July 5th. haha. (I'm on the "wish list" at my work)

[liquidsnake28]

rskapcat, hmmm the article I posted doesn't have a year on it. Inforoo (where people posted about it) is pretty much worthless. Damn it looks like I got my hopes up for nothing.

You guys are crazy for not thinking both Rothbury lineups were great.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I dont ever get to see real forests

But you see plenty of real woods.



I'd like to point out that the Telluride Bluegrass Festival is a blast. Some of us South Western folk should consider it, only an 8 hour drive from The Nix.

[rskapcat]

Well, the article you posted had a year in the text of the article (2010), so I'm not sure if it was a typo or if the writer of the article screwed up.

Alison Krauss is amazing. I can understand the excitement. :)

[SoulDischarge]

For the record. The forest with pretty lights looks fucking awesome. A festival with paths through a forest totally attracts me. All I need is 8-10 bands I want to see spread out throughout the weekend.

I say that as someone who has done acid once in the last decade and primarily only smokes weed and not even a lot of weed. Drugs or no drugs it looks beautiful.

So take that you beaner.

Alright. So i'm already trying to think of who can headline that's been around less than a decade. I was wondering about Muse and the White Stripes. Both appear to have been around for more than a decade. Who else can headline? I suck at this so far.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Lady Gaga or Kanye

[Mr. Dylanja]

My REAL guess is KOL.

[TommyboyUNM]

I also think it's Kings of Leon.

[faxman75]

According to Wiki they formed in Nashville in 1999. They are more than ten years old.

[TommyboyUNM]

They're related so they kinda formed way earlier than that.

Their first release was in 2003. I think it's more likely the Bonnaroo person was going by when they released their first album rather than when they actually formed.

[Gribbz]

I like MMJ, but are they headliners?

[TommyboyUNM]

At Bonnaroo, yes.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Don't get Tommy riled up, Gribbz. Just checked Faxy's fountain of info and they formed in 98.

[faxman75]

They were around and together in a band called Kings of Leon in 1999. Why would you think they mean when the first album was released? Many bands in fact form, tour and spend time in a stuidio for a long time before even releasing a record. That doesn't mean they aren't around or known.

[Stick an oar in]

So, not to twat up your thread or anything, but a few people were chatting with somebody far more informed than I about whether or not Arcade Fire were serious about skipping out on the festival circuit entirely this year. The answer we got was yeah, pretty damn serious. But "maybe Bonnaroo".

[/Stick an oar in]

[Mr. Dylanja]

It's totally gonna be JUSTICE performing THE CROSS in it's entirety!

Have they been around for 10 years? MP FTW!

[TommyboyUNM]

What's more common knowledge, Fax? When a band actually formed or when they released their first album? When people talk about how long a band has been around, I've always heard it as when the first recording was released. Nobody gives a fuck when they started practicing in their garage.

[TommyboyUNM]

I would love it if Arcade Fire was there. That would be one of the variables that would get me to go.

[amyzzz]

Would Arcade Fire headline then?

[MissingPerson]

They formed aroundabout 2003.

I'm not saying they're a lock, I'm not saying they're headliner worthy, and it's nowhere near solid information or anything, but Bonnaroo was the only possible name thrown out. So that's there anyway, just thought I'd pass it on.

[TommyboyUNM]

Arcade Fire would not headline Bonnaroo. I think they would play Which Stage as well.

[softbulletin]

Muse is touring in France around Bonnaroo so they're out.

Sorry Tommy, you are wrong. :) I'm not worried about "common knowledge". When a band forms and starts playing they become known. Plenty of bands have played live for a while before any album release.

[/Stick an oar in]

Ah and there was going to be my speculation. I just wondered if Arcade Fire was too hipster for the Roo or not big enough to headline yet with only 2 albums and working on a third.

I guess we shall see.

[MissingPerson]

It's not quite straight from the horse's mouth or anything, but it's close. So, no promises, but keep them on the board for now, anyway.

[faxman75]

Kings of Leon was signed to RCA Records in 1997. They had a record contract. How can they not be a band in 1997 if they had the name and a record contract?

[Mr. Dylanja]

MPeezy would get me to Bonnaroo :pulse

[TommyboyUNM]

Sorry Tommy, you are wrong. :) I'm not worried about "common knowledge". When a band forms and starts playing they become known. Plenty of bands have played live for a while before any album release.

It's just that easy, is it? You form a band and start playing and you become known.

Nobody gives a fuck about most of the bands that are around and are playing gigs. Maybe people in that town. But to the rest of the music community that band doesn't exist until they put out a record.

I'm not saying they weren't a band back then, stop twisting it. I'm saying that I think it's highly probable that when someone refers to how long a band has been around, they are talking about when the first recording was released. That's a more common point of reference.

Sorry, Mark...I'm totally with Tommy on this one.

[faxman75]

I didn't know we were picking teams. It's ok you can both be WRONG :)

The twitter says a band that wasn't around 10 years ago. Kings of Leon were around around 10 years ago under the same exact name and signed to a record label. I think it's highly unlikely they were referring specifically to when their album was actually released.

[Monklish]

Suppose a band gets signed to a record label but doesn't release any albums or play any shows for another year. What is the year they started? Does being signed to a label make you a musician or do you have to, y'know, make some music?

We're talking about Kings of Leon. Apparently even by the time they released their first recording their bass player still didn't know how to play bass.

Hell, MGMT didn't seem to know how to play their instruments until 2009 despite having an album out in 2007.

It's not a clear cut answer. I think if you have a band and record contract then that's when you started. You think a band starts with their first studio recording. I think you have to have songs and know how to play a few things before you get to the studio. You don't. Not a big deal.

No no no, see this is a prime example of you being too fucking stupid to even understand the point you're arguing. I'm not saying anything about whether or not they know how to play their instruments.

A band gets signed to Capitol records in 1999. Maybe they dick around for a while, go through some lineup changes, maybe they take an absurdly long time to record their debut going through several stages of retooling at the label's behest. During this time period they are not playing any shows. Let's say that the retooling gets so stressful they say fuck it for a little while, and don't end up returning to the studio until late 2000. They finally get the revisions done and have a product the label is satisfied with by early 2001 and the album is released and they start playing shows.

Did the band come out in 1999 or 2001?

[Mr. Dylanja]

First groupie beejay is when a band becomes official.

In your example they formed in 1999 and came out in 2001.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Faxy, you've formed your gay tendencies but still haven't came out, how long have you been homo?

[faxman75]

Since the first time you went down on my Dizzle. ;)

[amyzzz]

omg!

[Monklish]

Suppose a band gets a record contract and never releases any music or plays anywhere. Were they a band?

[sbessiso]

Would Arcade Fire headline then?

No.

[sin213]

i'm suprised no one has said this one yet regarding the headliner thats been around less than 10 years....

Them Crooked Vultures

[liquidsnake28]

Yeah, Them Crooked Vultures are headlining bonnaroo ....


less than 10 years....


This is something you guys all seemed to have missed. According to Boourns it didn't say less than 10 years, it said "all headliners are booked, one of which wasn't around ten years ago." This could just as well mean that it's a band that has reformed recently and was not playing 10 years ago. For example, Soundgarden was not around 10 years ago.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Neither were The Dead. It's them

[apostle2]

It's Kings of Leon. That's obvious, stop debating it.

Them Crooked Vultures and Arcade Fire aren't headliners. If White Stripes weren't headliners in '07, AF aren't headliners in 2010. They are 4th-6th on the poster.

Oh, and here's why that earlier argument was retarded. You are analyzing the words coming from the mouth of someone who probably put, oh, five seconds of thought into what he said. Do you think he went to wikipedia to research when KoL got signed, just so he could be accurate with his fake off-the-cuff remarks? This isn't CNN, it's COS. And alex was probably talking to an intern or some shit.

[menikmati]

Boy, CoS really has their nose up Bonnaroo's ass.

[PJandBompton]

I'd say Soundgarden is pretty unlikely...Bonnaroo is in a similar position to Coach in that PJ has shows two weeks or less after...Coachella is definitely more possible than Bonnaroo...

I agree with the first 2 paragraphs. I disagree with why the earlier argument was retarded. It was retarded cause we were arguing just for the sake of arguing. And I still count the argument as a win for me.

[liquidsnake28]

Yeah, I think it's Furthur. KOL said they're definitely not playing any shows this year but since they already live right there in Nashville I could see them doing a one off. My money's on Furthur though.

If you thought our debate about whether it's KOL or not was bad then you should see the roo boards. They have a good ten pages of speculation about that one twitter clue. This one was such a stretch it had me laughing,

"I have a reach, Dr. Dre, I know he was around in 2000, but "2001" is thought as his return album from not really being "around." I know "2001" was released in 1999. I am just trying to find a more appealing option."

Haha, and lots of them are seriously considering Norah Jones, while a few think it's Kenny Chesney. ... wow

[scoop49er]

KOL will do shows in 2010 if they score big at the grammys..... they learned alot from U2 when they toured and in articles people have said that Caleb is very into making their band huge so they are a possibility...

[PJandBompton]

Arcade Fire will NOT be there...

[scoop49er]

PJ,

dont be surprised if Prince accepts the offer!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PJandBompton]

PJ,

dont be surprised if Prince accepts the offer!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN! that would be insane...
