Re: Bonnaroo [Re: greenspectral]

NO dipshit.  Crusty.  Like bummed out sketch ball pretending to be with someone he/she's not and selling bunk bullshit and ditching.  Very very common at a bigger fest like bonnaroo.




Here's why I don't like roo.


It's super hot.


The size of the fest in general.


The bands are always lacking in performance.  The sets are always short.  The stages are set up in a very cheap gimmicky way.



THere are NO hills to see the stage.  It is all flat and very borind areas.


there is commericialism EVERYWHERE.  You are being sold something left an right and advertised something constantly.  It's like being at a a big sporting event or something.......


The crowd tends to be like a big sporting event too.  People who wernt prepared.  Whiney out of place people fresh out of highschool who are dying from the heat.


It's a newb fest.  It's heavily advertised and everyone knows about it.  It's a ton of peoples first fests, and the regulars are all bitching about it, its such an unpleasant enviroment.

those are gross generalizations. you can get a ticket for $150 early bird usually, not to mention you can tickets for less than that off of ebay right up until the week of the festival. crusties? dude you obviously don't know wtf you're talking about and you're just spouting off a line you've heard other people say because you think it makes you sound hip. no such thing as a "crustie", unless you mean a person with the quality of being "crusty" in some way. you mean, CUSTY? like slang for CUSTOMER? yeah those are the people that are there in the market to score, not the ones selling. sheesh.

there is a bunk element there because the festival is so big that some ill-meaning people come in there with the sole purpose of ripping people off. luckily if you have any wits about you, and you know your scene (this guy obviously doesn't), the bunksters are an easy sniff.

as far as undercover cops goes, i've never encountered one and i've been to roo three times in the past five years. they are there but they target only the high level deals. cops on horseback are there for security purposes.




LOL. No man I mean CRUSTY. Sketchy lot kids trying to pass off bunk 95% of the time claiming as GDF. :lol:
Wookie/ Gutter punk types most often. Get your slang straight.

I don't know my scene? :whatever: :rolleyes: Dude I was at the first 4 roos, and the first one was probably my 200th fest. I never said I got ripped off at Roo (although I have been sold bunk before), there's just a lot more bunk flying around that place than most fests, BECAUSE it's a commercialized event and there's lots of easy targets. So it's a haven for the sketchball bad element types.

Of course there's that bad element at virtually every fest, and if you have your wits about you, you really don't have anything to worry about.  But Roo just seems to have turned into too big a monster for its own good. Course you can still have a great time, not saying you can't, you can have a great time in jail too.. its all about what you make of it. I'd just rather avoid the massive commercialism that bonnaroo has become (not to mention the lineup seemingly gets worse every year).. dude asked for opinions, I gave mine. I'd rather go to other fests with better vibes and not baking in the tenessee sun. Vandago pretty much covered the main points.

I don't know what's going on the East Coast nowadays as far as fests... I hear they aren't doing Rothbury this year, that's the one I would have suggested. Sunshine Daydreams in WV holds some badass fests year round, check them out.. smallish fest, intimate setting, lots of good bands going through there. All Good comes to mind. 10,000 lakes.  Mountain Jam.. Gathering of the Vibes...

I don't get all the Bonnaroo hate. I wen't last year for my first time, hell it was even my first major festival. I had a blast everyone I met was really cool chill people just smoking down with all my neighbors they even let me and my friend chill in their little tarp area when we had this crazy rain storm come through even cooked us some breakfast. This year I bought the early bird tickets for around $240. Overall I think it is a great festival but at this point you should probably wait for the lineup to be announced in case you don't like it because the reduced price tickets are sold out. I happen to like a varied lineup with a little bit of everything it brings people from all types of life together not just the hippie types, and isn't that what a music fest is about? As for all the commercialization, yeah they are advertising stuff left and right but it's not like you have to buy the shit they sell its still a free world and that means they are free to advertise stuff they want.

You could've just stopped there.






That's why roo gets a bad rep.  It's full of people like you.  New festival goers, who have never dealt with this sort of thing before, and think it's AMAZING and don't see what the problem is.


Usually having a few other fests under your belt helps you understand. 



Going to roo is like eating at mcdonalds and claiming it to be the best food ever.  While they may have an apple to eat, or a milkshake........the main part of it is a greasy commercialized heart, that pumps off of your money.

I agree with vandago on shroomism on this one, Bonnaroo is bunk. I will not be attending.

Every festival has bunk drugs. All the big festivals have police presence. Do Bonnaroo yourself, dont let someone else who had aq shitty time ruin it for you.

Ive been to roo in '04 and the last 3 years, all have been a great time. Don't be stupid and buy off the first over eager dealer, dont bring attention to you, and don't walk behind the horses.

Plus ive heard rumors that roo's lineup is gonna be steller this year.

Bonnaroo was badass before ClearChannel bought it.

Now it's a yuppie/cop/lameass music fest.
Kids just looking to get as fucked up as possible, crusties trying to sell you bunk drugs, frat boys and undercover cops galore! Yayy!
And all for the low low price of 300 something bucks a ticket.

Sorry, you're about 6 years late on this one. Check out other, smaller fests.
I mean I'm sure you can still have a good time there.. but I'm not going again.

Which ones do you think are best?

Fun festival, you'll have fun either way. Theres a ton of people and if you've never been to anything like this bonnaroo will blow your mind as a first festival experience. If your wondering if they sell beer yes, just about anything you could imagine is up for grabs there. I remember when i was 18 years old going up to the counter hippieflipping buying bottled beer for me and a girl i was with that was even younger.
