And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

Damnit. Now I wish I lived in California so I could go to Coachella. Their line-up is great. Don't get me wrong the line-up here is still ok...but damn.
"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made." Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), The Soul of Man Under Socialism
"You're either on the bus or off the bus." Ken Kesey
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Hunter S. Thompson
Now they have it all in order on the myspace page. It looks ridiculously underwhelming. If that's all they got, they have really done a horrible job this year. DMB top listed?! Kings of Leon #2?! I love the D, but Tenacious D #5 and Weezer #6?
I really don't know how I feel right now. I was set on buying tickets today but now I don't know. I know I'm still gonna go but I have to get past this let down that I feel right now.
we need a big saturday headliner...i think we will get another big addition
Hopefully there WILL be additions...but I'm pretty sure the "waiting" portion of this is done for me. They should have announced some better s h i t today, NOT three weeks from now.

i'm actually mad. this wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have people sitting at their computers watching this crap all day. this went from being a good idea to them not coming through.
its sad that roger waters, neil young, and mmj are not on the lineup (as well as some of my less likely favorite acts), but the lineup had me excited all day long. i too am disappointed by stevie being the final act, but i love the rest of the lineup.
10 acts i must see, 25 i really want to see, and another 20 id like to check out.
we went from positivity all day (apparently filled with anticipation of the big names) to "this is the worst lineup in the history of the festival". get over the finale and focus on the vibes of the festival and the amazing undercard. and dmb have an amazing catalog, as does jay z and kol.
So are The Lips playing a set of their own stuff before they do Dark Side?
yeah, they did an interview where they play for about 2 hours of their stuff and then do DSOTM after....i cant remember where the interview was, but they specifically said they were doing that at roo
I am so let down right. I truly was expexting something great. Especially with all the talk about Pavement, Roger Waters,Neil Young. And when evrybody was saying they were disapointed with headliners, they said its all about the undercard...and just look at the undercard...horrendous. Where are all the exciting young bands. We just got all the leftovers and has beens. I can't believe I bought not 1, but 2 early bird tickets. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with them.
Good lord people. Looks like a great weekend of music to me. WTF? ;D
I'm with you. There are only a zillion things to see.
agreed. i agree the headliners are underwhelming (except jayz and dmb for me), but the past two years i didn't like metallica, bruce, phish or widespread and i had a great time. i think the undercard in this lineup is awesome. there are a few bands missing i'd like to see, so hopefully they really will have some real additions.
Because the headliners you are not going? Geez. I rarely see the headliners anyways. Thats cool if it is your opinion but bitching and moaning on here isn't gonna change anything. My opinion is you people not coming will miss a great time and some great music.

the fest has amazing names on the lineup that put on awesome shows.
jeff beck, john fogerty, kris kristofferson, stevie wonder - all legends black keys, dr. dog, franti & spearhead, phoenix, avett brothers, dead weather - all amazing midcard acts
deadmau5, MMW, chromeo, claypool, etc etc.
This is all really very good. but it still feels underwhelming. can't believe no waters, neil, pavement, paul simon. Crazy.
Because the headliners you are not going? Geez. I rarely see the headliners anyways. Thats cool if it is your opinion but bitching and moaning on here isn't gonna change anything. My opinion is you people not coming will miss a great time and some great music.
bahahhahahah go back to PR on other sites son, i dont need your encouragement, you suck ahha

it's not just like they came out with the line up and it let everybody down - they wasted everybody's day. if you don't have the goods then don't do this.
Well the good news is, hopefully it won't be as crowded as it has been some years. I was worried about crowd size with Rothbury getting axed, but this should off-set that effect.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.

Part of me feels like this is backlash for the way it's been delivered. I wonder if we had just gotten the lineup if everyone woulda been so outraged. I'm still dreaming of Neil tonight. I'll dream about it until the day I cram my shit into the Geo and drive down. And if the mans not there, well, life goes on.
