inb4 Jess mistakenly insists that he would headline, citing venue sizes as sources
"BUT HE SOLD OUT THE SAME ARENA THAT ARCADE FIRE PLAYED!!11!"
Actually Jess is going to go with YOU ARE ALL quacking IDIOTS IF YOU THINK LARGE BANDS THAT SELL OUT ARENAS WILL BE PLAYING BONNAROO DURING THE DAY!!!!!
Sorry, be a moron all you want but people on large arena tours will not be playing at Bonnaroo in a small capacity. This goes for Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger and Jimmy Buffett. Stop being an idiot about it dude, and accept some reality for a change. Seriously this as ignorant as saying Radiohead will be playing Saturday 2-4pm on the What.

You mean the same Jimmy Buffet that played the Which Stage at noon in 2009? huh, yeah, never would play during the day..
How about John Fogerty?
How about you just face that large sweeping statements about scheduling and booking at Bonnaroo are rarely true, and stop making them. It's kind of hilarious seeing the irony in you saying "accept some reality for a change" when you're the one who thinks that Jimmy Buffet would headline Bonnaroo. Talk about out of touch with reality...

I can see the conversation now. Mr Seger derp derp we know you sold out large arenas and stadiums and command a million plus dollars for an appeareance but some idiots on inforoo would like to see you so can we offer you 35 grand to play during the day derp..

You know what, Jess? Even though I don't agree, I kind of see your point in a really abstract way...BUT I just think this means that artists like Bob Seger will probably never be booked because (sort of like with Smashing Pumpkins) their name would command a big spot on the lineup, but would at the same time disappoint and/or turn off a whole lot of people by grabbing that slot.

Buffett = last minute guest
Fogerty = under 4000 capacity theater tour
mc = quacking moron for even trying this.
I'll admit that I wasn't a hundred percent sure about Fogerty's tours and how big of a venue he plays, but you're a fucking idiot still if you think that Jimmy Buffet would be in the top 3 at Bonnaroo. If you wanna get all huffy about it and then go ahead and do so. Just like the "record sales" argument that people try to throw out so often, your correlation between what kind of venues they play on their own tours and what their position is on the lineup and schedule is also just nonsense
How are we back to whether Jimmy Buffett would headline bonnaroo again?
Because there are still idiots who still think people who get a million dollars plus will play Bonnaroo in a headlining spot unless they own a record label and are going to sit in with a unknown artist.
Actually though it is now Bob Seger but it is the same thing. You just can't fix stupid I guess

Actually I have always said this as well. He won't be booked for this reason, same with the Eagles.

First off the discussion was about Bob Seger, secondly every time I hear Bonnaroo would never book XXX band I smile a little inside. Still it is a stupid argument because you can not prove a negative.
Buffet maybe would have headlined Bonnaroo in like 2003 or 04 when it was still catered to a very niche audience that probably would have loved to see him there. Now, it's a totally different story. I'm sorry but if you think that Jimmy Buffet has the same kind of drawing power as names like Radiohead, RHCP, Phish, Arcade Fire, Eminem, Kings of Leon, Stevie Wonder, Jay-z, etc. then you are just delusional. The fact is that the festival demands top notch, relevant performers at the top of this list at this point. I don't care that Buffet costs a million dollars to book, so does fucking Bon Jovi and he DEFINITELY wouldn't headline roo... ever.
Beyond that we just have to agree to disagree but you definitely need to stop being such a douche about it because it's a rhetorical argument that will never be answered ever.

So we were talking about Seger, you guys were the ones being douches by bringing Buffett back into it at all. Also I was pointing out the general idiocy of you Alberto, and others thinking million dollar acts will play Sunday afternoon.
Well, theoretically they would because they WOULDNT headline... but that really just brings me to karoskos point which is that they probably just wont play because they cost too much but would have to be too low on the lineup unless we had like the craziest undercard the world has ever seen.
edit: also I wasn't paying attention to this discussion until this page.... and the first post I quoted you in you mentioned Jimmy Buffet, so I was just responding to that.

I still think Buffett will be a Sunday act one day, however this is something reasonable people can differ on. But at least you are getting the point that big stadium name acts will headline not play daytime slots. Which for a year now is what I have been saying.
If he were to play, which he never will, because he falls into the "too expensive to play any slot but headlining but wouldn't be a headliner" category. He headlined Jazz Fest, which is similar enough. He has been selling out stadiums, amphitheaters, and arenas in under a minute since the 1990s. He drew an extremely packed crowd to Which at a last minute booking, for only a few songs.
My guess is he would have to pre-headline What (which honestly wouldn't be a bad idea). He has drawing power, but he doesn't really overlap with the regular crowd that Bonnaroo draws.
And it's not like Buffett really is that off the wall. I think his concerts are the most fun I've ever had, and so do many of my friends with good taste in music. He covers the Dead, Van Morrison, Crosby Stills & Nash, etc. live.

Jess, for all your posts about how the board is a meaner place now, there's less camaraderie etc etc, you must rank right up there with Juggs for posts where you call other posters a "quacking idiot, quacking moron, hipster douche."
