i might be weird (ok i'm definitely weird) but after watching some of the videos of his performance on youtube, i definitely wish i could've seen it... it looks kinda cool with the sun coming up, etc
of course it sucks he was SUPER late and cut his set super short (and that he subsequently lost his shit and nearly broke his MACBOOK AIR!!!), but it still looks like it was an ok time, ya know?

signed, person who wasn't there
I'm in the minority, but I had a blast at Kanye's show. I was 8th row center so it was a straight party and I met a lot of cool people. That said I'm glad Kanye came out and said something about his performance. Unfortunately, it made him look like a bigger idiot than people already thought he was.

No guitars, no amps, and no drums. How hard can it really be to setup a glorified drum riser, two screens, and a wireless mic. Jack Johnson was able to have a full band and video screens with no problem and less setup time.
I’m sad that I missed Kanye’s show because I like some of his songs and I wanted to be entertained. I waited from 2:30 until about 4:15 then I went to bed.
OF COURSE YOU HAD FUN AT MY SHOW!!!!!!! CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY THAT KANYE DOESNT CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD SHOW? NEVER SAY I DIDNT GIVE IT MY ALL!!!! I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW!!!!!!

Kanye responds to "Kanye Responds."
Oh shi-
Like dividing by zero, you get a black hole that looks like the background for inforoo right now.
Metallica should send Kanye CASH MONEY for helping to distract from any earlier controversy.
Too true, iSkew! Has anyone seen the Kanye article on TheSuperficial.com?
Kanye West flipped out on his blog about people criticizing his performance at Bonnaroo. Kanye made festivalgoers wait 2-3 hours trying to get his stage show set up. He didn't perform until after 4 a.m. He blames Bonnaroo organizers and Pearl Jam for ending their show an hour late. Here's an excerpt from his blog at Kanye Universe City:
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so quacking hard I might break my quacking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want.... arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, I am an idiot whatever you can think of.... BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M quacking HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? 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 quacking 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 quacking LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did he just call them squid brains? I had no idea Kanye West was a pirate. Anyway, for those of you wondering why he's yelling, no, he's not in a movie theather. Kanye's just really passionate about making sure people know what a dedicated performer he is. And how much he loves overusing punctuation. LOVES IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kanye sucks. His show sucked. I can honestly say Kanye doesn't care about giving a good show. Either that, or his oblivious to what actually constitutes a good show. If you have to ice your knees, your not in very good shape.
^I guess I never expected much so I am not as bugged by the fact it sucked. However like I have said the fact of the matter is he could have used the situation to be Bonnaroo legend rather than laughingstock. All he had to do was go out to the Other Tent, and put on a show with his friend Lupe, If he cared he would have done it. The fact that he didn't do it though is good because I don't have to eat all the comments I made about him.

I may be wrong here, but I've read in a few places tat the Glow in the Dark tour did have a live band, but they were offstage or under the stage or otherwise not a visable part of the show. Not defending Kanye's bullsh!t, just wondering if anyone else knows for sure.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
the kanye bashing wont ever get old for me because i (now) really have a reason to hate him. i missed israel vibration's show because of him going on too late and the crew needing extra time to clean up the main stage area. i went to the main stage about 5 minutes before israel vibration was supposed to go on and i was curious as to why no one was going in. after waiting around for a bit, thinking the show was just delayed, i walked around to the other entrance and a lady was holding a sign that said 'ISRAEL VIBRATION: 1:00 to 2:00 AT THE OTHER TENT'. well they were originallly supposed to start at 1:30 and play till 2:45. so not only did they go from playing the biggest stage to the small tent, but they got their set cut by 15 minutes. by the time i had all this figured out it was after 2 and i had missed the show. someone i explained this to later said it was not kanye's fault at all but my fault for not checking the master schedule. i disagreed with that person.
thats why i hate kanye west and i will continue to say ,"fuck kanye west" anytime i hear someone bring his name up. but thats just me.

before hearing of this incident, i seriously never would've guessed it was even remotely possible for so many people to be so PO'd while at roo.... it kind of makes me sad inside

this sums it up. some people have already made up ther minds that they hate kanye and are going to blame everything on him no matter what. i don't like him, but i can't deny that this wasn't all his fault.
^^^not all his fault?...the fucker makes a commitment months in advance to do a show, then he receives a phone call from young queasy (or whatever he calls himself) about a birthday bash (from what i read, within 24-48 hrs of his bonnaroo performance) and skips out on his prior engagement
well i think an apology from superfly is out of the question... they arent gonna apologize for making money.... and to add insult o injury i bet next year will be red hot chili peppers, nin, rage, and korn. and anyone who spends 300 dollars a ticket deserves what they get.... just like everyone who waited 3 hours for a kanye show got what they deserved at roo..... its a sad day when a phil show is cut short so people can sit around and wait for a kanye show... what a fucking joke.... roo is a joke... "kanye west was lat because pearl jam ran late" is there 1 person on earth that attended roo in 02 thgat thought they would hear those words in 08?????? i serioulsy fucking doubt it... what a fucking disgrace..... im gonna go make myself puke now... remembering that i gave superfly my money to do this just make me that fuckiong ill to my stomach........

What's wrong with RHCP, Rage and NIN? That would be a sick lineup. (Not including Korn because they do suck.)
RHCP an Korn I could do without, but I'm sure NIN and Rage would satisfy not only a majority of the new (05-current) Roo goer, but a decent portion of the OG's as well.
well to most of the people i know all of those bands fall into the same class.... along with metallica, kanye, tool, pj, matisyahu, etc... and when those names are spoken when regarding fests it brings a sickening feeling to ones stomach... although now it brings a devilish little "fvck roo" grin to my face..... but you said it best... "sick" is accurate... and laughable...... but roo is sick is probably the best assesment ive heard yet... although dope, fly, "super" fly and straight would also work well.... dog
nope... its more fun playing here.... there are no kanye, metallica, or matisyahu fans on any of the other fest boards.... although i like you bama...... im just drunk and trolling... and incredibly disappointed at what roo has become..... it worse then dead.... its as if i died and came back as some scum on stallions turd in a water treatment pond... id rather be dead but im not... im just some ruined nasty memory of what i used to be... its a fate worse then death
