Oh shit, Primus? I've wanted to see them live for years, I might have to go just for them.
Obviously Eminem and Weezy are wastes of headliner spots. But whatever.
Yeah no kidding. Bootsy Collins's band too.Quote:

This is a big year for funk.
There will be more big announcements probably.
Electronica is weaksauce this year. Beats Antique needs to be latenight to help salvage that department. Bassnectar/Pretty Lights/Girl Talk?? They werent even trying...
I'm stoked for Wiz Khalifa. Neil Young.
Good stuff.
lol who made that lineup? pitchfork.com?
Not interested.
I would want to see 5 of those performers. 5. That's all. And that doesn't include any of the rappers.
Really unfortunate that the Daft Punk rumors were untrue.Quote:

Yeah man for sure.Quote:

You have to keep in mind that bringing in a pitchfork.com lineup will obviously attract pitchfork.com readers...Quote:

Dude 80% of them wouldnt even go to Bonnaroo to see their favorite bands. Its hardcore, and uncomfortable if you dont know how to camp at a festival.Quote:

Its really not that bad. I shit you not, the scetchyness factor has been declining steadily since Phish broke up and all the dope fiends had no home on the road. Now that hes opiate clean the scene is way different, no large scale smack scene.
I'm counting four bands on there I'd want to see... two of which I've seen live before.
^^
Yeah and then the other 80% of those names are ones youve never ever seen before, don't recognize, and should probably look up or something.
Theres a shitload of great music on the undercard and midcard of this lineup. If you dont see that then you seriously need to listen to a lot more different kinds of music.
The headliners are shit.
Maybe arcade fire is good. I have no idea. Never heard them before.
Arcade fire?! Why ate people still listening to them?Quote:

I agree.Quote:

So I'm going to have a great time regardless. Its a killer party and you never get to see all the shows you want to, and end up seeing a bunch of great stuff you werent expecting. :)
You're right. It's not about the music. It will probably be a lot of fun.Quote:

Without Bela Fleck, Abigail Washburn, Bootsy, Dr. John, Beats Antique, etc etc I wouldnt be going.
but I go in accepting that I will miss something I wanted to see and will see a bunch of stuff I didnt plan on, that was tight.
Dude, be serious with yourself. You don't sit out a massive party just because the host isn't playing music you really want to hear. You go to the party because it's going to be a good time, regardless of the host's taste in music.Quote:

Weezy and Eminem is pathetic though. I'm still not over that sting.
The Sword is the best act on the list.
I kind of want you to argue against my point because it would help give me a reason not to make the trip.Quote:

It's 30 minutes from my house. I'll definitely be there....and for FREE! Hope to see some NG members...
Do you get free passes for living so close?Quote:

It's rare to get a great headliner, but there are PLENTY of great bands and artists performing to merit a trip. I have some friends that are dismissing the whole show. my response was.....there are going to be 100,000 cool people in yer back yard. who cares who's playing.
....but the great lineup is much appreciated
The Meters and Primus on the same bill?!?
A chance for the Misc. Debris version of 'Tippy Toes' being performed?
*faints*
...I'm not kidding: if you are able to see Zig drum, and you miss the chance- you will regret it. The Meters are ancient. Don't miss your chance!
I know! Its going to be a funk event.Quote:

Random sit ins are part of what makes Bonnaroo so great.
Any of the bands I'd want to see, and a lot I don't, are already performing at this year's Jazz Fest.
P.S. - Why would you want to be any place other than New Orleans to see music? Never makes any sense to me.
Bonnaroo is a lot like New Orleans, out in a field, and much weirder.Quote:

One time I actually saw music, but I was on 2 pills of exstacy, shrooms, two tabs of acid, and pretty sure I smoked weed too.Quote:
