People were all nervous with Tool last year and shit was fine. This'll be no different.

You're saying you didn't notice the change of crowd?

I felt like it was the worst crowd at any fest I've been to (even including DMB fans at Bonnaroo '05)...a lot less friendlier. A lot of people we talked to felt the same way and said this was their last Bonnaroo.


And yes, ciGarski, I'd live with hippies anyday. They're friendly, they share...and they're generally very chill. Other than the lineups, this is why I go to music fests.

But that's cool if other people are gonna enjoy the fest now and it's gonna be like another Coachella with a little bluegrass mixed in. It's just not for me...

Can't say that I did. I had good neighbors (one set who even loaned me a tent that they could have used for their group since mine was packed without the poles). My experiences in Centeroo with people were always friendly. Sitting here now I can't honestly think of one time where I saw or interacted with anyone I'd consider to be douchebaggy.

I had a great time last year, really. No complaints.

I thought Kanye was terrible at Lolla a couple years ago, so it's safe to say I won't be going to his set. But I'm actually looking forward to seeing Metallica again. I don't think I'd pay to see them on their own these days, but the couple times I've seen them previously have been real fun, and I don't expect this one to be much different.

Have fun waiting for a couple hours to get in.

Seems an awful waste of time to just wait when there's a ton of other things to see/hear at the same time.

I think the comedy tent is open when headliners are playing. Should be fun to see how long the line is before Metallica plays.

i agree with you, just saying i'm not jumping out of my boots over the announcement. i have seen both bands live multiple times and i KNOW i'll have a good time during the shows. it could certainly be alot worse...

also agree with this.

Oh, heh.


For that, plan on being in your car while moving slowly on the side of the road for 3-4 hours. You may get lucky and get in sooner, but don't plan on it. If your car has problems with overheating and/or the cooling system, don't bring it.

only the comedy tent, because it is closed and has fire code.

everyone complaining about lack of jam bands can kindly GTFO as it appears to following are about to be added (their artist pages were updated)


Brett Dennen
Ani DiFranco
moe.
ALO
Cracker
Mike Doughty
Patti Smith

also Mars Volta are possibly in as a later add.

I love seeing Patti Smith. I hope that rumor turns out to be true. She was one of my favorites from the 04 Roo and also at Lolla last year. She's just amazing.

I certainly wouldn't mind another Volta late set either. Just not against Sigur Ros.

that set was insane :)

^ Crazy.

Schedules don't usually come out until April or maybe even May.

oh good lord. i think this is the worst band ever.

agreed

Well I'm going, and I'm so fucking excited. I would die if LCD Soundsystem and Mars Volta are added.

added today!

Cat Power
Zappa Plays Zappa
Disco Biscuits
MSTRKRFT
Chromeo

I like ALL of these bands...nice.

God damn it.

I believe you missed both of them two years ago. Or at least Mars Volta.

That was my first Bonnaroo and I drove the whole way there, we waited in line for 4 or 5 hours and then I nearly died of heat exhaustion, so I went to sleep and slept through most of the first night's show. Missing Mars Volta.

This was that sleep. :mad:

They were at the last price point within a couple hours of the onsale.


As for the new additions... Cat Power is good. Maybe Eddie Vedder can guest with her on Good Woman and whatever other song he sings with her on that album.
