Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
but he's probably right. Nobody would be able to score a ticket with that lineup.
sell out in 5 minutes.
And stop teasing my feeble mind with this SCI and Phish talk at Bonnaroo.
The thing is though, it would sell out to the people who love these bands, WHO ARE KEITH'S LIKEMINDED PEOPLE (by likeminded, I mean musical tastes, not somewhat-ignorant-blanket statement making people like him Keith you are awesome) It would be EXACTLY the "vibe" that he talks about. ;D
Well since Superfly owns the land now. They are smart enough to realize that if Phish did reunite, they would hold a festival just for Phish. Superfly would lose alot of money by having Phish headline Bonnaroo because Phish has the drawing power to make alot of money for a festival on their own.
As for Kanye, who cares? (Dude does) Bonnaroo made a mistake by booking him and not planning ahead to the possible problems that could arise from having him there. They won't do it again. No need for a long diatribe on the future of Bonnaroo. One man cannot take down Bonnaroo.
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
I agree!
For me, the worst thing about the whole Kanye incident while I was there were the bad vibes in the audience, which I had not experienced before at the 'Roo. We were feeling no pain at that moment, having just been to Sigur Ros. I understand people's frustrations, but it was really out of hand, esp. for a Saturday late night. Yea, we got over and of course had a great time, but i could have lived without the negativity at the festival. i still think Superfly's lack of response has been deafening.
Uh...Keith, I usually could care less what you have to rant about, and most of us who've been around for awhile know how you are. Seriously, if this we're to happen, and you weren't there, I'd have to call you a fool. I call bullshit, you don't hate Superfly that much. A lineup like that would revert the Roo back to the "happy place" it once was for you, I guarantee it. ;D
well take a look at who these people are... they all joined inforoo in the past year or so, most are going to thier first or second roo, roo is the only fest they have been to, and the majority of them are talking about jay-z, red hot chili peppers, weezer, slip knot, nin, etc... for future roos.... these arent the people to talk to about how roo is doing.... thats why most of the inforoosters that have been around for years didnt go
i joined inforoo earlier this year, and this was my first roo. i agree with you on how lame it is that a lot of people on here are requesting groups like rhcp, weezer, and slipknot. NIN is cool though, and chuck d once said jay-z is the best rapper alive, but that's not really the point i'm trying to make. even though these kids are requesting those groups on a fan-made forum, it's not like superfly is reading this for guidance on who to book for next year. i know you're entitled to your opinion, and you'll never go back to bonnaroo for whatever reasons. but seriously, if you're gonna shit all over the festival and insult the people who continue to enjoy it, take it somewhere else. this is a thread for expressing extreme disgust for kanye west, not the entire fucking festival. go to some allgood forums or rothbury forums or kanye's blog if you want to keep fanning the negativity flames for bonnaroo. we all get the point. you hate bonnaroo and you won't be back. no one cares.

just so everyone knows, the more you tell Dude you don't care about him or his opinion... the more he enjoys expressing it. If you really don't care about his opinion you probably don't need to waste your time telling him so
But then again... you all are entitled to your opinions, too.

If I never went to Bonnaroo and seen what DUDE was saying I would second guess the festival for all the negitivity he is spreading but I have been there as of 08 and it was the best all around festival I have ever been too and wouldnt miss it ever again.
By the way Kanye is a beeeeeeeeeeeeeyooooooooootch!

this is how i feel about Phantasy Tour in general
if i want somebody to NOT go to a panic show, i'd send them over to PT
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
I wouldn't tell dude to shutup, even if i hate everything he says. I perceive his posts to be the engine of some conversations.
Bonnaroo is great, but it wouldn't be anything without people who have something negative to say about it. Because, if you love Bonnaroo you should know how to defend what you love rather than in existing in some sort of consensus society where everyone likes the same thing.
Remember how steve buscemi's character in Big Fish started to write when he visited the town of Spectre?
What good would this message board be if every single thread said "Bonnaroo is really really great."
(not that you should ever show anyone a work in progress)
that's the way kanye west message board sucks. because everyone just says "kanye west is really really great"
Sorry, i just had to put a reminder in this post that Kanye West and his apology really really sucks. I did buy a macbook air after i read his blog though.
I don't mind opposite opinions at all. So, I can understand someone coming here and giving their opinion. Even if they think Roo sucks now. But, coming back here over and over trying to convince people it does, just makes no sense to me at all.
i dont recall saying anything bad about wsp. umph, bisco, bluegrass allstars, dso, cornmeal, etc.... poop i havent hardly said a quacking word about metallica ( who i have seen) or pj, or anything other then phil getting shut down so kanye could quack around, and in the kanye thread no less.. what is your problem? if you dont understand the reason some people are horribly upset by that to the point of bashing roo to anyone and everyone then your are whats wrong with new roo.. you act like becasue most of the people on this board that went had a good time is basis for me being wrong and a weiner.... well take a look at who these people are... they all joined inforoo in the past year or so, most are going to thier first or second roo, roo is the only fest they have been to, and the majority of them are talking about jay-z, red hot chili peppers, weezer, slip knot, nin, etc... for future roos.... these arent the people to talk to about how roo is doing.... thats why most of the inforoosters that have been around for years didnt go.. or have negative things to say about roo. because its new and it sucks... so sorry... its just an opinion. dont let it get your panties in a bunch. no offense to anyone personally... im sure your all wonderful... and we dont need 5 people to come out and say well i went in 03 and this year was best... its jsut the way i feel and i will encourage everyone i come across to never attend roo. and i dont give 2 shits if they headline sci, phish, the dead, and floyd next year for 200 bucks you can bet your ass i wont be there....
that's all fine. whatever floats your boat. but i think the question is, why are you still here? do you think your shit talking is going to discourage people here from going? definitely not. you would be better suited to go to some boards of popular bands that you hate that have the potential to be at roo next year. go there and try to talk those people into not going if you really want to influence a change. you're just doing in the absolute wrong place.
it's not like superfly is reading this for guidance on who to book for next year.
as far as i know, they do read this board. it probably doesnt have much relevance on who they book, but the "clues" thread with the DJ guy proves they do review 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.

With me it is less his opinion than his hypocrisy, when it comes to bitching about things that ruin vibes. He just seems like he is trying to piss all over mine.

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
Hah!!!! Some of Dude's money may have wound up in thepockets of a commercially successful, "mainstream" musician. That makes me sooooo happy, I can't stop smilin. Superfly hoodwinked a stupid hippie! good for them. It may have even been worth the whole Kanye debacle.
