I think im going to spring for the vip pass.

2/13/2007 11:03:50 AM

Went last year. Worth it just for Radiohead, but I would never ever want to endure the heat + smelly hippies again unless it was someone on the scale of a Smiths reunion or a Daft Punk performance.

2/13/2007 4:35:10 PM

what does the vip pass entail?

*BREAKING NEWS*

Quote :

"Tool, the White Stripes and Widespread Panic will join the reunited Police at the 2007 Bonnaroo festival, to be held June 14-17 in Manchester, Tenn. An official announced is expected tomorrow (Feb. 14), but the full list of performers was briefly available earlier today on the event's Web site and captured by eagle-eyed fans on the Inforoo message board before being removed. Other acts on the bill for the event include Wilco, the Flaming Lips, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Manu Chao, String Cheese Incident, Franz Ferdinand, Ween, the Roots, Kings Of Leon, the Black Keys, Wolfmother, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Gov't Mule and Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. Continuing with recent Bonnaroo lineup trends, indie rock has a strong presence again in the form of the Decemberists, Spoon, the Hold Steady, Feist, Tortoise, Cold War Kids, the National, Annuals and Apollo Sunshine. Several notable dance and electronic acts have signed on as well, including DJ Shadow, Sasha & Digweed, Hot Chip and Girl Talk. The lineup is rounded out by Damien Rice, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Regina Spektor, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Keller Williams, Fountains Of Wayne, Hot Tuna, STS9, Galactic, North Mississippi Allstars, Ralph Stanley, Richard Thompson, Mavis Staples, T-Bone Burnett, Brazilian Girls, the Slip and Rodrigo y Gabriela. Speclation about this year's talent roster has been unusually intense. Last month, the Manchester Times ran a lineup attributed to unnamed sources wrongly claiming acts like Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket, Ryan Adams and Tom Waits would be on hand. As previously reported, Bonnaroo producers Superfly Productions and A.C. Entertainment are finalizing the purchase of the bulk of the festival site land near Manchester in Coffee County, Tenn. "We always felt the land would be a good long term investment for us," Superfly president Jonathan Mayers told Billboard last month. "It's a big investment for us, but we believe in the long term of the festival and other events we can create on the property, and the fact that we're going to be able to put permanent infrastructure there. We're really excited about that.""

" Tool Tour Postponed After Drummer Injury Tool February 22, 2007, 10:30 AM ET Katie Hasty, N.Y. Fans who bought tickets to Tool's upcoming spring tour will have to wait a little longer see the band live. The outing has been postponed indefinitely after drummer Danny Carey tore his bicep, requiring surgery. According to Tool's Web site, the procedure "went well" but Carey will not be recovered in time for the planned start of the tour on March 15 at the Pearl in Las Vegas. Rescheduled dates have yet to be announced. The tour was to keep Tool on the road in North America through the end of April. It is expected the band will be able to honor a previously announced co-headlining appearance at the Bonnaroo Festival in mid-June in Manchester, Tenn. Tool is touring in support of its latest studio album, "10,000 Days," which has sold more than 1.4 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

3/1/2007 7:25:32 PM

clutch @ a hippy jam fest. awesome.

i envision this being a inident silimar to putting the slayer cd in to break up the hippy jam fest on south park. but i think only 50-75% of the people would leave as clutch isnt quite as heavy as slayer. clutch is like hardrock/metal jam band though.

3/3/2007 11:03:59 AM

I would estimate anybody who knew 25% or more of the bands listed would realize that it hasn't been a "hippy jam fest" for years.

3/3/2007 11:06:18 AM

yeah, this festival is realllllly eclectic nowadays...

last time i went, there were more sketchy peirced people getting chased by security for having knives than patchouli smelling hippies

ok... i'm exaggerating, but still... def not a hippie fest

3/3/2007 1:43:20 PM

3/3/2007 4:53:32 PM

hmm I just got clutch's self titled album, and was listening to the opening track and was all "hey, this isn't too bad," then i heard the vocals

I guess I'm not hardcore enough or something

3/3/2007 5:19:14 PM

actually, i've never listened to clutch, but from your limited musical knowledge i'm going to guess they suck.

3/3/2007 5:36:16 PM

I just agreed with you

so because i dont listen to the music that you listen to or know every band on that list i have a limited knowledge of music?

ok so i made an overgeneralization calling it and hippie jam fest. but i know that the fest was geared around jam type bands (read phish/widespread panic types). and the point that i was trying to make was that people that listen to those bands dont typically listen to band like clutch.

bands/people on the liste i wouldnt mind seeing:

clutch
tool
earl scruggs
les claypool
willie nelson
the police(maybe)

thats about it.

3/3/2007 6:36:12 PM

to be honest, i was just antagonizing you the whole time.
