You guys know the rule... If you weren't there, it wasn't anything special...

Anyone who ever played a part, they wouldn't turn around and hate it.

I'm not sure if I followed this thread correctly, but what guys are saying is that Dave Thomas sold crack in inner-city DC in the mid-80's, right?

Bonaroo tried to touch my penis when I was 8.

I'm just glad I have a more appropriate place now to voice my reasonable opinions of this festival ...  :police:

edit to add: "Bitchfest" works too, though  :laugh:

Every thread here that mentions Bonnaroo descends into the same old BS which makes it difficult for the people who wish to discuss the actual lineup or plans to attend.

I understand, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Speaking of inconveniences though, man that lineup announcement...that's just inconvenient...

Agreed. This non-announcement is their stupidest move ever.
(aside from all those DMB & WSP bookings.)

Every big rockfest is a pain in the ass, if you love you music enough you suck it up and deal with it.

So what else is new?

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

I guess my thing with Bonnaroo last year (the only year I went) was that I only went for phish. There were a few other bands on the lineup that I looked forward to seeing (Snoop, Galactic, Wilco, Toubab Krewe) but for the most part I got the vibe that the fest was going really "indie" (TV on the Radio, Mars Volta, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, MGMT, of montreal, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear) - That type of music isn't bad, its just really not my thing.

This band passion pit I saw was terrible though. I didn't understand how people considered it music. And all the little indie-hipster kids were eating it up.

Like I said, that was my first year at bonnaroo so this may be unjustified but, I think it's changed a lot. Looking at the lineups from 02, 03 - I dunno, I think I would have much rather wanted to "suck it up" and deal with any sort of hardships with lineups like they used to have.

For 'roo to continue to be a relevant fest it has to attract 20-somethings consistently. That is what they do best. In 2002 20-somethings were into jambands. In 2009 they were into indie bands. 2010 promises to be more of the same. I can't fault 'roo for that.

I saw Passion Pit last year, too. I was not impressed, but they had the kids dancing like Phish used to! 
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

You're totally right, and I didn't really think about it like that (The 20-somethings thing). Oh well, I guess roo just isn't my festival

Despite a large number of "Indie" rock acts you could hit up Bonnaroo and not see a single "Indie" band.

There are so many ways to spend your day, so much different music to see - if you would try and see 10 or more of the bands in the lineup, it's worth going.
