i love slightly stoopid, theyre one of my favorite bands next to radiohead, zep and sublime. songs are pretty simple but its just so chill. i dont listen to that much 311 anymore (new stuff is trash) but i loved them in middle school so i still would consider myself a fan.
the lineup i have in my sig is mostly a prediction of what i think the lineup will actually look like, not necessarily my dream lineup (although i like about 90% of the acts in there)
In your support, if your lineup prediction rings true, then it will be the first time I'm supportive of the whole top two lines... but Slightly Stoopid, 311, and Sublime are just yuck.

i understand people who think 311 and slightly stoopid are yuck, as most of their music could be considered rather uninspired and repetitive, and that style of music is just not some peoples thing. but legitimately hating on the talent and legacy of sublime is borderline blasphemy. bradley nowell was an innovator and genius

Brad Nowell was neither of those. He ripped off so many musicians that I don't understand how he got away with it. The most unoriginal band from the last 20 years. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself.

I don't even like Sublime but that is a terrible reason to discredit a band. I can't think of one good band that didn't rip-off those that came before.

i was about to write up a retort to how stupid this post was, then decided it wasnt even worth my time, then thought about it some more and decided that it was so dumb i was morally obligated to respond
have you ever heard of the concept of a cover song before? artists have literally been doing it since the beginning of music. i guarantee you your favorite band has covered a song before. it is a well known fact that sublime often covered songs, its not like they didnt credit the original musicians. your claim of bradley being a "rip-off" is as far from the truth as one could possibly be. in fact, he routinely paid homage to his musical influences in his lyrics, moreso than any musician ive ever heard. and just because you didnt write the lyrics to a song doesnt mean you cant change the arrangements with your own visions and improve on the song. sublime covers were notorious for this. bradley often changed/added vocals to the songs he covered and their music normally sounds very little like the originals.
not to mention that list you posted contains a mere 6 covers out of the 61 songs that sublime released on their 3 studio albums. MANY of the all-time great musicians have a much higher cover:original ratio than that.
Haha! Have I ever heard of the concept of covering a song? That is some funny shit right there. Yes, I have heard, understood, and even, whilist in a band, performed this concept. Plenty of bands cover other bands. Other bands cover other covers. a lot of people know the song "Cocaine" but not alot know of J.J. Cale.
I was out of line saying the unoriginal thing b/c Otis Redding is a legend and he covered more songs than Sublime wrote. I'll rephrase my disliking. They are overrated. Bradley was a talented guitarist, but that went to waste way to fast. Tragically, and due to that, it hindered what could have been a lengendary legacy.
Sublime,to me, seems like your classic highschool band. I dug them onceuponatime, but my musical tastes evovle constantly. Their music just bores me nowadays b/c I've heard it so many times. Sorry to ruffle the feather there, and BTW, I think that your lineup in you sig is quite roo worthy.
Coco back at you. It's allgood. I really didn't see this conversation turning out this way, but hey, thats what this community is about.
As for speculating
solid chance: Neil Young, My Morning Jacket, decent chance: Primus, Arcade Fire, SCI, The Roots slight chance: Radiohead, APC, Deftones
I would love for all of them to be there. The Radiohead show from 06 has been, hands down the best headliner I've seen all time, at any festival. But who would argue that? Honestly, I'd rather see them in a late night slot so they could play a longer set.
As the biggest deftones lobbyist on this forum, I just wanted to chime in. Why slight chance? New album, will most likely be touring through summer, and they always do festivals. I'd give them solid to decent chance, more so than the other two whose near futures are more uncertain.
I dunno. Just my pesonal guess. They do seem to have more of a chance then the other two. You are right about that. I was just vagely categorizing them. I will say this. Next tuesday is the blackdiamondskyye tour here in Atlanta. My uncle is friends with the fellas in Mastadon. He is trying to get us on the guess list for the show. It's up in the air right now, but if by chance I get to go, and get backstage. I will definately ask if they know that far ahead on their itinerary and if they are roo bound. I doubt that will happen, but he's been friends/worked with them way before they saw any commercial success. So its a slight chance

I wasnt all that into deftones music, until I saw them at Family Values back in 06...wow, I was blown away with their performance. The same goes with Chevelle and Sevendust, live they are soooooo much better.
As far as APC goes, I would prefer tool, but ill take maynard anyway I can get him. emotive was just such a friggin let down.
Sevendust was awesome the two times I saw them live back in I think '01 and '02. Deftones were not awesome. I wouldn't like 'em at 'Roo, but fer you others out there I hope you get your wish.
Yeah, the Deftones were my first favorite band back in middle school, like 12 years ago. They are a great show to get drunk at. I agree with the Chevelle and 7dust being great live. I haven't been into metal in like a good 7 years(went through a hippie phase, now I don't really partake unless at roo of coarse) but everyone needs some good metal every now and again.

I'm well out of my metal phase, and dumped alot of the stuff I used to listen to. But deftones remain in my top 4. There's just something about them
artists I would kill to see, most of whom (at this point in time) seem like relatively realistic candidates for 'Roo 2011...
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Phish - Daft Punk (late night) Rush - Arcade Fire - Rammstein - My Morning Jacket - Alison Krauss & Union Station Wu-Tang Clan - The String Cheese Incident - Vampire Weekend - Dream Theater (late night) - Sigur Rós - Justice (late night) - Gov’t Mule - Modest Mouse - Aphex Twin - blink-182 - Shpongle (late night) - Mos Def - TV on the Radio - Umphrey’s McGee (late night) - Fleet Foxes - Ratatat - Prefuse 73 - Keller Williams Caribou - Down - Explosions in the Sky - Boys Noize - Cursive - Aesop Rock - Flying Lotus (late night) - mewithoutyou - Kaki King - Between the Buried & Me - RX Bandits - Black Moth Super Rainbow - Antipop Consortium - Ryan Bingam - Surfer Blood - Every Time I Die - Immortal Technique - Maps & Atlases - Warpaint - Mountain Man - Designer Drugs
I would love for Radiohead to take Phish's spot; realistically, I don't see Thom recanting his disdain for the whole environmental impact of the festival so I've pretty much written them off. Which blows.

Yeah, this is a no go. My uncle could only get one person on the list, and its my brothers birthday, so he deserves the spot. If he does get to meet with the bands, I'll get him to ask about upcoming festivals.
I like that lineup puddin. Very diverse. Aesop Rock and Immortal Technique would be great hiphop adds. BMSR and DreamTheater. Only bonnaroo could have this diversity.

Still trying to figure out how 311 and Slightly Stoopid got in the Headliner Speculation thread....seriously, if either headlined, people would be BEGGING for Kings of Leon again

While I'd love Rammstein I'm just not sure pyrotechnics in the middle of a farm field are a great idea. Especially if it were to be as dry as in '07.
Truth, but I don't think that would be the reason they wouldn't play. $$$ and timing would be more apt to keep them from the farm; Metallica had pyrotechnics (true, it wasn't as dry in '08 as in '07) and Rammstein's pyrotechnics GENERALLY don't leave the stage. Good point though.

Thanks! And I definitely agree, the diverse selection of artists is one of Bonnaroo's biggest assets.

because of my sig haha, i dont think anyone ever considered them a headliner
Rumor: Daft Punk is scheduled to play 2 shows at Soldier Field (Chicago) in June, 2011. A couple of my Facebook friends from the area are flipping out about it. The info just leaked last night.
Still, they need to play Bonnaroo. They would be incredible. And I heard from a friend that Radiohead is being targeted for Rothbury's return this year. Just thought I would mention it.
