Yeaaa for tickets, but then I can either fly there for 200-300, or sit in a car for over 24 hours for a single night of music. Just not worth it. To each their own, I dont hate on peoples music tastes, but bassnectar has gotten insanely lazy in my opinion. His shows have progressively become less and less fresh, and his most recent album literally was composed of recycled ideas. If I knew the set was gonna be super fresh with lots of outside material I haven't heard, I'd go, but last year was basically bassnectar best hits. Its still awesome, but its something I've seen over and over again. I am bummed I didnt hit Atlanta a few months back tho, but I doubt nye will be like that
Have a good time. Having just saw aphex twin I'm cool with just going to a house party this year
Agreed. I can't justify spendng like $800 on one show (everything included, transportation, tickets, drugs, hotel). Plus Bassnectar always gets a little too pretentious on NYE, trying to play all this downtempo and lame boring stuff. IDK why he still thinks downtempo works in arena venues. It's just not the time or place. Bassnectar Halloween > Bassnectar NYE. And its way less expensive
I also think 360 is really fucking stupid. It's just a way for him to maximize profits and get more tickets to sell. Then he markets it so you think hes doing something totally cool when in reality he's kind of selling out. Like who cares it Android Jones is gonna be there? The only screens are on the jumbotron, which isnt big. And is AJ gonna be doing live visuals? I find that hard to believe
And yeah he's definitely becoming that EDM superstar DJ that hes always shat on. He is lazy. That id 100% the word to describe him. A lot of us know Bassnectar is capable of a lot more if he actually just tried. Night 1 of Basslanta was insanely dope. Then lots of kiddie Bassheads bitched and moaned because it was not a normal typical Bassnectar set, so Night 2 he catered to the edm children and basically played a set for people who never saw him in 2011-12. Just a bunch of old tracks and I was prett bored with it. Nectar is capable of more, but he just doesnt care anymore. I really think he hates his fans so much that its almost taken him out of the game

DID YOU JUST CALL LORINS DOWNTEMPO STUFF LAME AND BORING!??!!?!?!!!?!?!
If Lorin gave a fuck about maximizing profits he would go on a tour instead of only playing destination shows. If you knew anything about android jones you would know that all his visuals are live, that's the point. Ok, you're right about Basslanta, night one was heaven and I wanted to slap each and every one of those snot noses who complained about it. I mean he played queen B damn it.

Ok let me rephrase, I mean tracks like Underwater, Falling, boomerang, etc etc are super boring. Its just so midrange and uninteresting. His old school doentempo is cool. BUT, I still don't wanna see him play those tracks live. Live from Bassnectar all I want now is pure and total destruction, especially in these large venues. If he wants to play downtempo then he needs to play way smaller venues, which he will never do because he won't make as much money
Look, Ive been a basshead for a long time, and he is selling out now, so hard too. That is undeniable, every real head and vet to the scene knows it too. It sucks. Ive kind of moved on from him after a really long time of loving him. It's not me thats changing, its him
And yeah, I just find it really hard to believe AJ is going to be doing live visuals for a whole bassnectar set. I bet he comes out as a special guest for a small segment of time like his other special guests for big shows. Right after his tweet saying he invited AJ, he also mentioned NYE isnt sold out and tix are available. Hes a master marketer and thats really all that meant

All those stupid railriders during Truth pissed me off so much. Some Bassnectar fans are just the worst. Total scenesters and don't kno shit about real bass music. Truth straight killed that shit and everyone up front talked thru their whole set
One of the best Truth sets Ive ever seen. And first time I saw em with both Tristan and Andre

I mean if he can vdj an entire uptempo tipper set, nectar should be a cake-walk.
But idk, I still disagree about Downtempo, that's when I become most alive, it's all about the flow not the whomp.
And I personally don't think he's "selling out" because if he wanted to, he could, and he is very obviously not. In my option he is showing sighs on slowing down and retiring, not selling out. He's trying to play less shows, but bigger, more intimate shows. If he was selling out, wouldn't it make sence to see a tour from him, it's been two years now.

That truth set was bliss, Truth is always such a treat. I tend to stay away from the rail anymore so I didn't see, But I must say I've talked to a ridiculous number of people that got turned onto deep dub step from that set and absolutely love it now.

Adventure Club is "Meh" for me tbh, mostly just because of the people I associate it with in my personal life, not the music, but I Loovve Black Mill.

Tipper uptempo sets are an hour. Nectar sets are 2.5. So idk why you think that...
He doesn't tour because it's not cost effective. His rig is massive and he brings extra subs to every show. He has to employ all these people because of it ya know? He doesn't make that much while touring, hence why he stopped. He is getting older and tired, but he also hates his fans now too. It became too big of a thing. 90% of his touring life happened before he was huge and at kost brought a small screen and some speakers to each show
Every festival set he played this summer was basically an album release party for another garbage album. An album where each track is basically a collab and he didnt do that much with it. I mean his summer shows were extremely lazy and thats what a sell out does. Play the same shit over and over because they don't care (anymore). Thats exactly what sell out DJs do. Thats the exact DJ Lorin used to always talk so much shit about. Im at the point where I will never go to a festival again for Bassnectar, bc his festival sets are fucking garbage. meant for mainstream people, not true bassheads who get down to real shit
He's a good producer but everything he releases is garbage bc he also tries to market that music and make money off it from commercials and movies/trailers. He cant release pure filth and expect to make money off that from huge corporations. When he was younger he never had to think about whether he can market a track or not. He was just an artist. He is without a doubt also a business man now
Honestly some bassheads are too culty for me and act like hes perfect. Lorin is cool but also a giant fucking hypocrite. At some point you need to take a step back and see things how they really are, and not in this picture where hes perfect and can do no wrong. OliverJames who posted earlier in this thread seems to agree with me too with him being lazy and selling out
It sucks cuz I really wish he wouldnt sell out, but he has been. I know way too many people who have completely given up on him. All the music he releases is so shitty (but hes a sick DJ, no doubt)

yeah I was only so close bc the venue was still empty. After ATLiens I had to move back and rage with people who actually knew who Truth was
The shitty thhing is though, all those railriders woulda been going nuts if Bassnectar played the exact same set that Truth did

I was literally at all but two festival sets he played this year and that is simply not true. Some were pretty basic (nothing wrong with that) but others got very dark and strange and where pretty much 80% IDs, particularly closer to the end of the season. His festival sets have always been different than his headlining/solo whatever you wanna call it sets. And I'm sorry but if you think he has been playing the same set you haven't been listing to them. I've quite honestly enjoyed 2016 quite a bit more than I did 2015 and 14. And ya, in all honesty I'm probably the culty type you are describing... 
I feel more connected to the universe raging at a nectar show than I ever have on any type of psycadelic, And it, him, he show, the family, it all just means more to me than I can really describe, and I could never give that up.

Yeah, thats why I mentioned it. Because youre blinded by his stardom and cant't take a step back and realize that he's not perfect and he does some kind of shitty things
Those sets were all so shitty. Just Unlimited over and over and over. But if I was you I'd say the same thing because it wouldnt br cool to say you yraveled all summer to go see extremely similar shows. Those sets were like maybe 20% ID's, and that's why real heads go see Bassnectar for their 50th time, for those tasty ID's. He had more IDs at the end of the summer bc he was super bored of playign the same bullshit set over and over. You can also say you were at all those sets but I seriously seriously doubt that (especially if you think all his sets were fresh, or you musta had some bomb L all summer). They werent. and every basshead knows it. Youre jus being culty. Im being real
I'm really not trying to sound like a dick, but the Bassnectar scene has really culty vibes and a lot of people just cant be real about bassnectar. Its way too common in this scene and a giant pet peeve for meHes been my favorite artist since 2008 and it really makes me sad to say it, but i think hes a sell out noe and his actions over the years have shown it. actions speak louder than words

You might be right, I'm certainly blinded by something, but that doesn't take away from the feeling it gives me and so many others. Call it what you will, but the magic is still there.

But without a doubt hes being lazy when it comes to track selection

But you must admit he was trying to kill us Night two.
I'm also curious why you say he hates his fans now. Sure there are some nickelheads, that that exists in any scene this large, And I haven't seen/heard anything that would lead to me believe he is dissatisfied with his fan base. He's said since the very start Bassnectar is just a means to an end, and that end was to change people's thinking.

That's why I hope he starts getting super political like he used to be, now that this whole trump thing is going on, that way he can lose half his fans and we can purge the scene of the bros.
