I was there and saw this dude for a while. He wasn't just fat, he was huge. I'm 6'2" and he made me feel tiny, I think he musta been 6' 6-8" and 350. He was running up and pushing people then falling back on people. Then he was flopping on his stomach and then running into people on all fours plowing them over. He was definitely completely out of his gourd.
I had heard he died from a fellow rooer when we were talking the next day, but the news reported just the one death which wasn't this guy, so I have no idea if he made it or not. Well it wasn't the highlight of the weekend for me, but it may be the scene that sticks in my head the longest. This guy was whacked. He coulda easily destroyed someone.
aaand now i'm glad that i didn't go to mute math lol
dude mute math was one of the best shows this year... u should have gone. the naked dude on stage was a quick start to bonnaroo and made me think... "here we go boys and girls, it has just begun"
lol lol man thats insain. I didnt get to witness the nakedness at the tool show or mute math but I think it would have been amusing to see the tool guy....from a distance that is lol.
I did see a naked kid drive by me that was tied to a gurny being taken away on a golf cart screamming something about sleeping with a chick for weed, and he had 2 medics holding him down.

Did he have long blond hair? Near main shakedown? I saw one kid try and take on the mounties there...
I did see the naked guy at tool. He pushed into the group around me, bit this Rastafarian looking dude, then rolled around on the ground. I saw the chair fly and hit a guy in the head about 20' from me. That guy was bleeding pretty bad. He stuck it out though.
Crazy, crazy times. Makes me wonder if there was some bad sh*t going around. But there are always those that cant hold their liqueur/sanity I suppose

I also heard the rumor that "a guy died during Tool," from a member of the "staff," nonetheless. Guess it was just a rumor. But I kept thinkin how that would be kinda creepy, unless Tool was, like, your favorite band.
I know for a fact that two people died during tool.
quite a short sentence for such drastic news. you don't have any proof?
i didn't see the naked fat guy.. i lost my friends after a visit to the potties and said fuck it, moved up and rocked out. met up with them afterwards and no one said anything about fat naked guys. guess i got lucky.

Naked dude during Mute Math:
I'm pretty sure that was the same guy at the art of such n such. He got kicked out right before Mute Math went on and must have made his way over there.

I was on staff and my manager told me. Is that proof enough?

yeah lol i guess it is.. i'd still like to see a news link but i'll take your word for it. sad.
Sounds like the fat guy during tool was balls to the wall tripping on "fairy" dust (replace fairy with another being with wings. Think halos). Either that or some x cut with some research chemicals. Just my .02. If he died from heat stroke, i'd lean towards the second option. It's really easy to get dehydrated when you're playing with that stuff, especially if you've been drinking, and ESPECIALLY if you're in the middle of a tennesee drought.
Matt, hope you had a blast at 'Roo!! I'm planning on going next year, for the first time. Even with all the negative vibes being thrown around, it's on my list of things to do before I die (or graduate college).
ps - I don't see a reason I can't give you a ride to moe.down. I'll let you know when I know for sure that I'll be going or not. It's looking 90% positive right now.
yep i was right there. he crawled past me on his hands and knees and hugged my buddies leg.....my buddie kicked him off and the guy then flipped onto his back and fank and beans were just hangin out. the guy was sayin "help me.....please". Dont think that anybody did though. i am so glad you created this topic because i was actually wonderin what happened to that guy. We gave my buddie crap the rest of roo.
The naked fat guy started-off the Tool set clothed. He came up to my girlfriend and I and just sort of stared. I told him to get away and he said that everyone was mad at him. I think I inadvertently caused the man to exhaust himself to death....
