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!!
I think the most logical answer so far is 30 Seconds to Mars, but it's not logical at all that they'd be at Bonnaroo in the first place. Who knew this clue would be so hard after the first one was figured out so quickly!?
One type of food that can be crunchy and comes in different flavors is pie. But the only band that comes to mind in that case is Humble Pie and that's totally out of the question, right? What about Peter Frampton?
also a band called Hot Apple Pie out of Nashville.
Ok, if you want to go the Tennessee Titans route... Daniel Graham is their Tight End Cereal is crunchy/sometimes not Golden Grahams is a popular cereal...
What a difficult clue......I've read all the pages and I don't have much to go off of. There are flavors of gum. Trident is a well known chewing gum brand, and a Trident (or spear) can be related to Poseidon (son of Cronus and Rhea, the OG Titans). Thats all I have....and I've been trying to find an act or band with relevance to the above, but with no avail.

Is it possible that Gary released the clue on the day he did for a particular reason? Maybe having something to do with the title game?
Also, it seems as though he is mocking us...giving an easy one at first to whet the appetite, then coming with some fire. Hopefully the next one is not as tough.

Just a summary of Gary's notes:
1. Titan has to do with the NHL 2. Flavor does not have anything to do with Ice Cream 3. Flavor is in reference to something that is edible and sometimes/can be Crunchy
k2boarder really screwed people up saying that Gary confirmed the NFL connection when he was really confirming the edible aspect of the flavor portion of the clue.

I've been busting my brain on this one. And I still think RHCP makes the most sense. A name amongst the Titans defines their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, What's your favorite flavor- chili peppers certainly have flavors, they can be crunchy, and the band is headed out of the country in late June, it's a perfect warm up gig. Haters? Anything?

not that this clue applys but im now like 95% that rhcp r playing roo. Before they had a bunch of dates in the usa till like april then started again in europe in late june but the tour got postponed today because of anthony keides breaking his foot. the tour now begins in april but instead of postponing the europe shows and completing the us tour they take a break for may and most of june, go to europe, and then come back to do the us shows from august-october. i think that they scheduled the delays this way because of bonnaroo
from Tennessee (amongst the Titans), and there songs are monster themed Funk. General Mills discontinued a cereal called Fruity Yummy Mummy, and i dont need to tell any of you about their line of monster themed cereal.
Would love for it to be the Mummies! I've been wanting to see them live for years but they never come around my neck of the woods.

OK I GOT IT. After being shitfaced last night I sat down and brought up the band Alabama shakes. They are from ATHENS Alabama (amongst the titans) and SHAKES (what's your favorite flavor) if drunken me actually solved this I will die in peace.

FINALLY!
I like it.
Have some awesome points.
Well I just had to have a beer again to restart my thought process from 2:30am this morning, thanks!

On second thought, I'm convinced its Battles. I think we (was it noremac?) just guessed it within an hour of Gary posting the clue. As I look at his tweet's, he doesn't come out and say "No. This has nothing to do with ice cream." He simply asks why the concensus is that "Whats your favorite flavor?" implies ice cream? The "You better check yo self before you wreck yo self" tweet could be as close to confirming that we guessed it correctly as we're gonna get. Those are lyrics to an ICE Cube song. And also the tweet to him about stepping his clue game up was a stab or shot at him, which also fits the lyrical response. **** The logic is sound.
"A name amongst the Titans." Atlas, second generation (child of the first generation of Titans)
"Whats your favorite flavor?" Ice cream is food, its edible, and it can be crunchy. I asked my co-worker, "Hey, when you hear "Whats your favorite flavor?", what food comes to mind?" and his response was "What? Like ice cream flavors?"
Battles have Atlas and Ice Cream as song titles. I don't think the first part of the clue has any context for the second part of the clue and vice versa. If the clue is about names of songs by the act, Battles it is.

I mean if the shoe fits roll with it, don't discount any other ideas but this is simple enough to work, now it's just time to see if Gary approves my thought process

best unstretched logic i still want it to be The Polyphonic Spree, but this sounds totally legit
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.
you know, if it's not Alabama Shakes, it might be Deerhunter. Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound) is from Athens GA. I don't recall if we had flavor tied into Atlas Sound at all, but if we do, it could apply.
Ok, going with the Athens thing...being a city... Neutral Milk Hotel--Athens, GA... Matthew Sweet is from Athens, GA-- Drive-By Truckers are from Athens, GA-- Widespread Panic are from Athens, GA--
Haven't made connections with the rest of the clue to any of these though.
The "You better check yo self before you wreck yo self" tweet could be as close to confirming that we guessed it correctly as we're gonna get.
I was totally convinced it was Battles from the start also, but if anything, that tweet you reference openly denies that it is Battles. "You better check yourself" as in, "Are you sure about that?" Gary's tweets also confirm that the "Titans" reference IS a football reference. I've lost all hope in solving it myself, waiting for someone here to step up.. I like the Alabama Shakes one, but the "Titans-to-Athens" thing is a bit of a stretch.
