CRobi21 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Boom. Roasted. Lol. Hilarious scene. The hardest I've ever laughed at a tv show. If that is what you're referencing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullnelson9999 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm really going to try hard to go this year. I'll have to save up for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I went last year and had a good time. Interested to see what the lineup will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I went in 2005 and 2007... '07 being my favorite year because I got to see Tool and Tom Morello. I'd love to go every year but it's just so freaking expensive and I usually only know a handful of artists (I also hate jam bands). Guess I'm not a hippie. Bonnaroo is still such a great time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Line-up is up... a few cool acts. Not sure I want to spend the money to go now, though. What does everyone think about Bonnaroo 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's not a terrible lineup, but I'm seeing better festivals out there (for what I'm looking for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Eminem is a terrible choice for a headliner. Arcade Fire will be great. Some nice choices, but it seems like every year the jam side gets more and more marginalized in favor of more commercial bands that don't really fit with what Bonnaroo used to be about.

Eminem and 'Lil Wayne would probably be pretty fun to watch in concert... and hip hop acts are not new to Bonnaroo, regardless. Bonnaroo is no longer just a big jam band festival like their first couple years, it's more along the lines of Coachella and Lollapalooza. I actually like that I can drive to a festival like that close to the east coast. I think there's still plenty of variety... and whoever goes will still have an amazing time, but people are going to always ***** and have the same arguments ever year no matter what.

Fan since a Fetus Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am seriously thinking about it. The price is turning me off. But I am under two hours away from there. I love Opeth and would really like to go see them. Others I would like to see is Allison Krause, Warren Haynes, Neil Young, and Explsions in the Sky.

I know they have had prior hip hop acts. Doesn't change my opinion about Eminem one bit. And you're right, it is becoming more like mainstream festivals, and people can argue about whether or not that is a good thing. The changing lineup isn't what's stopping me from going (I haven't been since the second one, just due to changes in life and lifestyle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadium-Armory Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I went to the first Roo in 2002, but haven't been back since. This year's lineup looks siiiick though. ---------- Post added February-15th-2011 at 05:24 PM ---------- Jurassic 5 played the first Roo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most things you say about music, so of course, I will give them a listen. As I am typing this, I am listening to 'She Don't Use Jelly.' I think I remember this song from the 90's. Anything you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I also am thinking of going, but the price for a festival without Phish is tough to get beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am typing this, I am listening to 'She Don't Use Jelly.' I think I remember this song from the 90's. Anything you recommend? They have since gone in a pretty different direction. About half of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is very accessible (particularly the first couple tracks) but the first few times you listen to it you might hate the other half of the songs. Soft Bulletin is probably my favorite of theirs. jcFKlEfu_eU NHK9C5cy74c&annotation_id=annotation_354419 MHRPVN4ZAi4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flaming Lips reference was my surprise at them not being on the setlist, but since you asked, my man. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 depends on your budget and preferences. Price is fine, but not worth the headache. I have no interest in sitting on a lawn for four days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
