You people crack me up - it is amazing how the hivemind works in this place.
U2?
Not happening kids . . .
I guess we're finally gonna figure out whether BonnarooDetective just got lucky once, or actually knows what he is talking about.
Pardon me, but I think you are speaking out of turn.
I've seen several people on this board claim that I "just stumbled onto the lineup in 2007" and that is all I've ever done . . . But how quickly you forget - I have two sources (one more credible than the other) directly linked to Superfly. In 2008 I was confirming bands like Metallica and Vampire Weekend a week before the line-up came out. I also revealed Widespread Panic as the "Big Announcement" that year. In 2009, several others made confirmations before me, so I can't take much credit - but I did confirm from one of my sources that both Bruce and Beasties were playing.
I don't feel the need to prove my credibility to any of you (largely, because I've already done so). I actually debated screwing around with you all just for laughs - but so far I've enjoyed watching you argue, bicker, and change your minds relentlessly like children hoped up on amphetamines.
I know the headliners - U2 isn't one of them, unless we have more headliners this year (and someone is deliberately withholding that information from me).
Also, as I've mentioned before, AC/Superfly have been trying to book U2 for at least 5 years now. U2 basically has a standing offer to play the festival, and they aren't interested.

What are your thoughts on the headliners this year? You think it's a big deal for the 10th or will some people on here be disappointed? Have we guessed any of the headliners right in any threads?

Here comes the obligatory . . . "oh yea? well if you know the headliners, why don't you tell us? I don't believe you unless you tell me"
and then 3 posts later the obligatory post from NoD where he whines like a girl and pretends he isn't interested, then claims I'm lying, but still asks me to prove it. Then Airline will say, "YEAH! What he said" . . . and then they make-out, Juggs makes a snide remark, a few people post semi-topical pictures, and we all go home.

Some sort of reasoning behind your conclusion would be appreciated. I know you're the GREAT AND POWERFUL BONNAROO DETECTIVE LOLZ and that YOU STUMBLED INTO THE LINEUP EARLY ONE YEAR but this seems like you just making a statement, at least until you back it up.
Hey, that's great. I don't care if you believe me, so I'm not looking to prove much to you.
I'm not sure why certain phrases in your run-on were capitalized, so I'll say this:
Yes - I am just making a statement. No Leno. I don't care if I back it up, as I don't care if you believe me.
Snow day at the pomp factory for you?
(by the way, thanks for totally validating my previous post)

I'm just wondering if we're in line for a typical Bonnaroo (which would still make me happy) or if there's any reason to think it will be a bigger deal then most years. Wondering about any surprises.
Since you know the headliners, and who am I to question that you do, but will the majority of this board be happy?
That is the best question ever. BD, you don't have to release any info you don't want to, but are we going to be stoked on the lineup? Like 09' stoked?

Any info is greatly appreciated.
This year is going to be like the past 4 years - a lot of hype only proves one thing: you can't make everybody happy.
I don't think the headliners are "over-the-top," but I'm not disappointed either. Are you all getting Daft Punk, Radiohead, Neil Young, Arcade Fire, Furthur, My Morning Jacket, Prince, and David Bowie?
No.
But bear in mind (something I've slowly come to terms with) - the people behind this festival know what we want, and they know what would make a great festival. They certainly tried to book the likes of Daft Punk/Radiohead/The Beatles, but it isn't always feasible. You can't just make a band play your festival; and for most of these guys, more money isn't going to make a difference.
One headliner might come of something as a surprise. I don't keep up on every page of this board anymore, so I can't say exactly what has or hasn't been discussed. As badly as I want to tell you we are getting a Talking Heads reunion, there just isn't a surprise of that capacity in the deck.
Also - I don't know everything. Ultimately, the names I know make up a small part of the line up.
As I hear it shaking down, part of what will make Roo #10 awesome is the undercard.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver

Thanks a bunch. Can you possibly just clarify that when you put those names in the list about who we won't get.....does that mean we won't get "ALL of them" or that all those bands listed definitely won't be on the farm? Like, is your info telling you that we can definitely cross off MMJ, Arcade Fire, Neil Young, Furthur, etc. from the list of potential spots at Roo? Or just that we won't get all the names you listed?

I know the headliners - U2 isn't one of them, unless we have more headliners this year (and someone is deliberately withholding that information from me).
Also, you pepper your statements with things like this - so you can't ever really be wrong. If U2 isn't on the lineup, you can say "see, I told you so!" and be correct, and if they are, you can say "oh, well they withheld that from me because it's such a big deal they didn't want it to leak" or some nonsense.
Unless you come out and say "here are the headliners," and list them, and stand by your prediction, you're going to keep getting second guessed on here. And if you're not going to do that, please stop coming around here and letting us all know what a big deal you are and how you know people and have many leather bound books and so on. It's tiresome.
I really don't care what you think. In fact, I care so little, this is the last time I'm going to address one of your infantile comments.
I have NOTHING to prove to you. I've already demonstrated the validity of my information in the past. It has been demonstrated and documented that I know what I am talking about, and that I have at least one source for inside information.
Get off your .fucking high horse you pompous fuck'. Don't you have another bar exam to fail or something? I'm sure that somewhere out on the internet, someone is wrong, or has a bad opinion of hip-hop music, or thinks Mastodon sucks - go condescend to them. You, and people like you, are the motivating factor in me holding back.
By the way kids, I haven't seen this mentioned . . .
Everyone is gabbing over this gap in U2's tour dates. You know why that gap is there?
That is the weekend of the f'ing Tony Awards.
Yes - the Tony Awards.
I'm sure you are all aware that U2 is responsible for the music behind the infamous Spiderman musical . . .
BonnarooDetective, thanks. I appreciate what you can give us.
This. Clearly this guy has SOME information, considering I can guarantee he has leaked 100% more headliners than anybody in this thread, no matter how it happened. We've been begging and begging for information for weeks now and it finally comes and we start to berate the guy when he gets here. Like somebody else said, I would wanna f**k with you guys if I had info too

white stripes
edit-- but it certainly makes them less possible, shmohawk. that is a great point that really makes me doubt U2.
