I was completely out of the loop today, and just found out about the additions. Personally, I'm pretty stoked, especially for Santigold, Puscifer and The Cave Singers. I'd be more excited for Danzig Legacy, but I only want to see the Misfits portion of the set.
I'm very happy with Santigold and Puscifer. Danzig, The Cave Singers, and The Temper Trap are also very good additions. It's a shame they'll be wasting a tent slot on fun. I do agree that it will be Neon Trees 2.0 though. Here's hoping for another couple good adds throughout the week!

And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

Saw Fun. a couple years ago. They were okay but nothing spectacular. I liked Aim & Ignite some, but haven't given their new album a listen yet. Probably won't be seeing them, inless this new album blows me away somehow. Solid adds though!

Seriously peeps? I cant believe you can bash Fun and not be complaining about The Beach boys or friggin Ben Folds Five! I actually teared up today with joy when I read the add ons.. DANZIG yes!!!! As well as Temper Trap, Santagold , The Cave Singers and Puscifier that is by my book a stellar addition!!! I can't wait it just keeps getting better and better.

Out of all the artists on the lineup you pick The Beach Boys and Ben Folds Five to bash? Really? When you had acts like Skrillex, Mac Miller, Childish Gambino or SOJA readily available to you for bashing?

To me, it seems clear that Puscifer won't be in the same tent as the other bands you guys are mentioning. Remember what Maynard said in the interview? He said he was NOT going to be at Roo because he didn't want to be in the same one as Alice or Danzig. To me, it seems like Roo probably cut a deal so that he purposely wouldn't play with those too. He said he hates how everything he does is compared to Tool, so putting his non-Tool band in a tent with two other commercial hard rock artists is probably the total opposite of what he wants.
On a side note, these are definitely the biggest adds they've ever had. Last year, I remember the two biggest adds being NOFX and Galactic, and I don't think either were in the top 25 (I could be wrong though). This year's are pretty awesome, as I would see most of them (other than Cave Singers, that I've never heard of, and Santigold, who I'm seeing with RHCP).
I love the pick up of Temper Trap and Puscifier! Both bands offer a lot of versatility to the lineup and should really work well. Give me a Head and The Heart addition and I may stroke out before the actual festival.
Hopefully the addition of Glenn Danzig will be a wise one. Just heard about that nonsense he pulled at last year's Fun Fun Fun Fest. From the sound of that scenario, he could be this year's Kanye.

the additions were good and all, and i know we don't usually get that many higher-end additions, but they honestly weren't that special, except Danzig and Puscifer, but those appeal to the same crowd. Santigold, Temper Trap, etc. are solid additions, but they're nothing special. I've seen both of them and fun. several times (fun. opened for Janelle Monae when I saw her, and they played at a festival I went to a few years ago). but overall i think it's pretty meh. Danzig and Puscifer are cool, but I feel like there will be mad conflicts around them.
2012 shows: 3/23 - The Men 4/9 - Of Monsters & Men 4/21 - Bassnectar 5/2 - Shpongle 5/22 - Jack White 6/1 - tUnE-yArDs 6/7-6/10 - Bonnaroo 2012 6/18 - Destroyer 6/20 - The Tallest Man On Earth 6/23-6/24 - Governor's Ball

Well, Beach Boys and Ben Folds Five are 2/3 of my most anticipated acts for Sunday. I really only dislike fun. because dude is really trying way too hard to be Freddie Mercury on certain parts of that record. I can't take him seriously after that.

I hope all goes well with Danzig at roo he can be a bit of a Diva.I'm glad there will be 100+ bands there because that just means there is something for everyone!

I'm just now listening to fun. I'd never heard them before because I don't listen to the radio and haven't in many years. I got all the way through Aim and Ignite and I'm about half way through Some Nights and I think both albums are very strong. A little too much auto-tune on the second album, but he'd already proven that he can sing on the first one.
Do you guys also not like Queen, or is this the classic case of hatred from hearing it too much?

I thought Aim and Ignite was pretty good too back when it came out. I haven't heard their new album but if there's anything I've learned from this forum it's that you cannot take these people's musical opinions seriously. A lot of the time I think exactly the opposite of the general consensus on here. I have not heard their song that's been on the radio because I do not listen to the radio. Who listens to the radio?!?! There are some artists that I have tried out because of people's recommendations on here but I would never rule out a band just because there's some haters on here. However I do usually rule out anything autotuned... because really, I could produce that music. In any case, I think fun. is a solid add that a lot of Rooers will enjoy, but I doubt I'll go see them since I'm sure there will be conflicts.
I'm happy to see everyone so amped for Santigold, though! I cannot wait to rage that crowd with all you fine folks!

I had actually never heard the song that everyone claimed I would know ("We Are Young" I think it was called) and I couldnt stand it, or the rest of them
