Some of you guys really need to lay off Petty, just sayin'.
For the record, I give Petty a hard time, but I don't think he's a talentless hack.
I went to an Allman/Petty concert a long time ago and Allman opened and played what my father called a "top-3" Allman concert, and he saw the band when Duane was still in it. Then Petty comes out to a crowd all boned up after a fantastic set (Greg was able to belt out the song, to give you an idea of how rare of a show it was in terms of overall start-to-finish quality) and does songs with 90 second breaks between songs where he walked from one end of the stage to the other with his arms spread out rolling his hands towards himself. It was the milkiest crowd milking I had ever seen, and I was genuinely taken aback by it. I didn't expect that from Petty, so that's part of it.
I also think Free Fallin' is one of the most overplayed and overrated songs ever.
And because Rosko likes him so much I have to rag on him to piss Rosko off.
That's surprising to me. The one time I saw him was at an Amphitheater and he threw down a solid set and didnt do any of that. I came away impressed because I figured with so many hits and playing all the time, it would be a case of playing music without much enthusiasm or jamming. But, they took a lot of their songs and played expanded versions with everyone in the band really showing off their skills and trading licks on their instruments. It was really fun to see. I really hope we see that versus what you saw.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

The worst are people who are either ignorant or stupid and will argue an incorrect point into the ground in a condescending way.
How many of you have bosses like this?
It's not bad to be ignorant on a topic but it is bad to be ignorant on a topic and not only think you know what you are talking about but do so to the point you are condescending. My daughter is in a phase like that right now and it is irritating as hell.

children can be very troublesome.
my step-father threw basketballs at me when i was that age.
ZZ Top Late Night in the Alice Cooper slot. Suck it world!!
I think you're right, but I hope you're wrong. I'd like to see ZZTop again and a late night slot will have to many conflicts. I'm still sad I had to miss Superjam last year because of the conflict with Alice.

I've outgrown this fest. Wanted to ween myself off it and this lineup presents the right chance. I truly hope the rest of you go and have the time of your life, but I'm moving on. Hit 6 of them and loved each one but I know where I'm at with this, done. I'm not here to biznatch, more to politely nod out. Coachella looks really good this year, maybe I'll finally go to it.
If I was going I would be most excited about ZZ Top and Billy Idol. For some reason McCartney has never excited me which is weird because I love the Beatles. If I was on the farm I'd see him and probably really like it though. Most everything else on the lineup I've seen before or am not in to (or admittedly, am not yet familiar with).
Good luck to you all. May the temperature stay the eighties, the lines short, and your schedules free of conflicts.
Looks like they've rearranged the lineup. Nas is moved WAY up. Not sure if there are any other differences as of right now.
Edit: Upon second glance, he's only moved up 7 spots, but those superjams take up a lot of space so it looked like more. Looks like Wolfgang Gartner and Araabmuzik were moved up and Boys Noize moved down as well. Maybe they're figuring out some scheduling issues and modifying the lineup to reflect that?

Based on Nas' position on the poster, I could definitely see him filling the slot Ludacris had last year as he was pretty much in the same position on last years poster, and the genre adds up as well
i'd rather have beth gibbons show up to sing with bjork.
Good luck with that.
i didn't predict it would happen. you just have nothing else to say other than ''that would be amazing''. and we both know i'm not getting responses of that nature here.
Terrible article. This line almost made my head explode:
Bonnaroo should take some inspiration from events such as the iHeart Radio Music Festival. They had acts like Rihanna, Green Day and Taylor Swift. Millions of young fans attended and it was a huge success.
Thank God people like that exist so that they don't ever come to Roo.
I would expect Billy Idol to get a late night over ZZ Top. I really can't picture them late night at all.
I just hope we get Billy Gibbons sitting in with Gov't Mule.
Warren Haynes loves collaborating with people. In '07 late night alone he played with michael franti, bob weir, john paul jones, and Luther dickinson. And had lewis black come tell a joke. I could easily see Billy Gibbons sitting in for a few tunes.
I really didn't think that too many people could possibly biznatch about this line-up. I mean, I was sure that there would be a small minority of people that would be a little disappointed because pleasing everyone is impossible, but the Bonnaroo Facebook page is starting to look like the Gov's Ball page. I guess I sometimes forget what the internet was made for.
It is pretty awful isn't it? I made the mistake of venturing over there for about 5 minutes on Tuesday. From what I could tell, it is mostly the dubstep and jamband fans that are pissed off. Most everyone else likes it.
A bunch of faux-hippies thinking they're entitled to something from someone who doesn't owe them anything. Imagine that.
i admit I was initially upset about the lineup. It was a combination of not knowing much about the undercard and not being able to let 2006 go (greatest lineup ever).
I have since done a 180. Found some new bands I am pumped about, like Tame Impala. BTW John Fullbright is a great lazy morning show. He might be the love child of Arlo Guthrie and Willy Nelson (check out "flower song").
My only objection about this year's lineup is all the Indie rock. I'm not saying you have poor taste for liking M&S, or PTM... but it is just so generic and blah. Don't get me wrong, they have some worthwhile songs... but what do they bring to a live show? what are you gaining by seeing them live as opposed to listening to their CD in your car? I'm not being an ahole here, i am genuinely wondering what the appeal is. At least the Avett Bros put on a show. The Bonnaroo lineup this year just seems like 7-8 Indie Bands that only differ by which way they part their hair or what color their fedora is.
I'm not bitching about it. I just can't help but feel like I am getting bumped out of my demographic by people who are ecstatic about this music and forsaking other bands that actually put on great shows and don't just stand there in a sweater gently strumming a mandolin. It is like talking to your average Fox News watching republican about Ron Paul... you aren't getting it because you have been so inundated with mediocrity. My 2cents

Tennessee's hottest music festival is Bonnaroo! Nightlife designer Ashley Capps is back with the all new lineup that answers the question, “HUHHH?"
Don’t look for security staff, there isn’t one. Instead, Centeroo is guarded by ten jacked homeless guys in old fashioned bathing suits.And inside is just sick: ice sculpture, winos, Gurmfs (German Smurfs), a teddy ruxpin wearing mascara, an old lady with kitten play-hair, and on the yet-to-be-announced EDM stage, none other than DJ Baby Bok Choy… He’s a giant 300 lbs Chinese baby who wears tinted aviator glasses and he spins records with his little ravioli hands.

I give bands a fair shake. I was at Mumfords show last year and fell asleep. I can go on and on about how wrong i was about Jay-Z, because it was such a phenomenal show. Can you please explain to this old man what is so appealing about 4 Mr. Rogers not moving at all on stage?
