At this point I feel like headliners are going to be something watery and overplayed. Of course, late night will be epic as usual. That's what Bonnaroo is all about for me, anyway.
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

I was fortunate to see Van Halen in their best days and as much as I loved that, I'm not sure Dave's voice is worth anything anymore, yeah give me Aerosmith.

I saw Aersomith when they toured with KISS, and while KISS brought the fuckin' house down, Aersomith was boring as hell. This was like 8 years ago so I am sure that they've only gotten worse.
For the record the Bonnaroo Beacon called Arcade Fire and MMJ co-headliners. Don't know how officially endorsed that idea is, but just sayin.
Considering this means I was right about Arcade Fire not being big enough to headline on their own I will go ahead and concede the MMJ point.
im pretty sure the argument was whether or not the could be an unopposed headliner. and in fact they were the unopposed headliners that night.(if i remember correctly Primus and MMJ overlapped).
Aerosmith has fallen farther than any band on the planet. I'd rather have Rebecca Black fronting Mili Vanilli on the What.
as unjust as it may seem, Rebecca Black fronting Mili Vanilli would probably have to settle for the preheadliner spot. and that'd probably just lead into Aerosmith.

Aerosmith are still a great live band when they lean on their classic material (anything up to and including Pump). They would not be a personal pick/hope for the festival but worse things could happen

Well If you're going to say that this means AF isn't big enough to headline on their own, you would have to be willing to admit it also means Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z aren't either.

Aerosmith is just horrible. While I don't think that Van Halen will ever play Bonnaroo, I would actually go see that show if Dave was a part of it. If Aerosmith was on the farm and there was any chance I could hear it I would go shopping with my wife and hold her purse until they were done playing.
To change the topic, I know the jam headliner is very much a tradition of Bonnaroo. Is there any thought on who might fill that role this year? Furthur perhaps? Or could you see Bonnaroo going away from it this year?
^^^ I think we see MMJ again next year. I could see them Sunday or Friday headlining. If there is a hip hop headliner it will be Kanye or Watch the Throne. The only other hip hop that could headline is Outkast IMO and I see that is unrealistic
