ooo, that would be a pretty good one I think

[.]

Melvins, Clutch, Exodus, Dillinger, Trail of Dead

[Duddits]

I would LOVE for Mastodon and Dethklok to play Roo 2012.

[jhammett]

Dethklok must happen.

I think fear factory would be good. Maybe Devildriver, or Machine Head, or maybe even Dream Theater.

[RadioSpirit]

Return of Mastodon
High on Fire
Iron Maiden LN What/Which
Danzig


Bands that aren't technically metal like QotSA, Sleep, and Trail of Dead.

[NotMitchelBade]

Iron Maiden, Dethklok, Mastodon, Slayer. Those are where my votes go.

[Jury]

Mastodon (again)
Iron Maiden
Avenged Sevenfold
Eluveitie
Rammstein
Killswitch Engage
Hatebreed (would never happen, but would like to. I Will Be Heard is a Quackin badass song)
Apocalyptica

[Don Flamenco]

Animals as Leaders and of course Mastadon.

[.]

^ These, for sure. Plus Pelican.

[NoAge]

I'd love a Sunn O))) set, but it would probably have to be late night.

[chandler]

man, Electric Wizard at Bonnaroo would be the shiz.

[Lowerdeck]

High on Fire when I saw them was pretty good. Except Bison B.C., one of the openers, was better.

Fear Factory was decent as well.

[stevevai1]

Mastodon
Electric Wizard
High on Fire
Pelican
Gojira
Meshuggah (late night of death)

[blindmelon]

RAMMSTEIN

[Homer J. Fong]

Didn't we already start this thread somewhere? Oh well.

Mastodon
Dethklok (late night)
Baroness
High on Fire
Pelican
Valient Thorr

[strider]

RAMMSTEIN The Germans are coming The Germans are coming...

[dogfighter28]

Iron Maiden i've been saying for years would be a unique and awesome headliner for any American festival, and we're running out of time before they get too incredibly old and hang it up. People travel hundreds and thousands of miles to see these guys. They regularly play to crowds as big as all of Bonnaroo. Sure, maybe in the US they aren't as huge, but I guarantee you if it was one of their only US dates you'd see plenty of people with Eddie t-shirts on in Manchester in June.

[skibby]

mastodon
between the buried and me - people have been wanting them for the past couple years
animals as leaders
the Dillinger escape plan - it's time they come back
converge
rammstein would be awesome
i could see dethklok at some point since they work with adult swim

[stevevai1]

I think its about guaranteed that mastodon will be there

Torche
Valient Thorr
Pelican

[Scrog]

Sorry, but am I the only one who think Metal and Bonnaroo do not mix, like oil and water? Maybe I am just a corn hittin hippie, but I just see two different vibes.

Yeah probably, considering they've been mixing just fine since 2008.

Just because music is loud doesn't mean it's either a) aggressive or b) angry.

Is there not more to Metal, than just being "loud"?
It my not be the music, but in my limited experience the metal lovers I know are more aggressive and angry.
It is me, I am not metal fan. Now it is too fast and crazy, my brain can not keep up and I get a headache.
what good Metal bands have played since 2008? I want to check them out.

[stevevai1]

Im thinking it is time to get Mike Patton on the farm.

Opeth, Graveyard, Metallica, Mastodon. Wasn't there for Tool in '07 but i heard that rocked.

There is more to metal than just being loud. It's hard to explain being a metal fan but I'll try. First to address the really aggressive bands, it's value is getting your crazy out. We all have nerves of stress and anger that drives us slightly mad. This isn't squeeze a stress ball nerves, more like the world is sometimes Quacked and disillusioned and i need to do something that doesn't involve doing something bad with a bat kind of nerves. Metal concerts are one of the few releases that proves to be an awesome catharsis. Working out helps and a really kind woman would be the others.

Metal's aggressive sound is empowering. I could take my grief and feel sad over a slow acoustic song or "Creep" by Radiohead (not hating on them, just that song is severely depressing in lyrics and action). Or i can listen to metal, and use that empowered anger to get me moving. That and metal shred solos are quacking badass.

As far as the original metal band, Black Sabbath. They are brilliant. It took aspects of 70s psychedelic rock, blues rock, and that heavy downtune of their guitars to create something different and harder than Led Zeppelin. Tony Iommi's guitarwork is terribly underrated because his skill really is comparable to Jimmy Page. That is why Graveyard and The Sword all bow down to Sabbath.
