Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
This is sort of connected to some comments people have made about anti-roo feelings on other sites or even the down with bonneroo sentiments for whatever reason that goes on.
For some strange reason, (okay I'm avoiding doing work shoot me I started readingat someof the Phantasy boards and Jambands.com etc. This is what I found:
Whining, b!@ching and a general attitude of I want it all and I want it now. I'm not going to say everybody is like that (as you all well know) but what is wrong with people that spend their time complaining about the artist they claim to love. In most circles, if someone tells you they love you and then spend the rest of their time criticizing and bashing everything you do, that is abuse. To me, it seems there is an unhealthy need in a lot of people to just tear apart other people because
1) It's not as good as it was before. 2) It's gotten too corporate (which always cracks me up) 3) They've gotten too popular (again that makes me laugh and fell really sad at the same time).
I'm sure there's more reasons to add to this list but I don't want to go on too much. My point is if you find that a band or person or festival or whatever is not meeting your needs as a human being then stop giving them your money and your time. Life is way too short to be spent on such fruitless obsessions.
Sorry, I've had a really good day at work and then came home to a very good meal and then saw this stuff. It made me sad. I'm very glad that this board hasn't descended into this kind of nonsense and I hope it never does.
Bonnaroo f*cking sucks......Sorry I just got caught up in all of it No but it has been this way for awhile, at least to me it seems. Especially with Phish. And then Trey started his band, and played with Dave, and everyone's all, Trey is a sellout, and sh!t. But they still went to see him. I think it's wanting to relive your best experiences, and then whoever, or whatever doesn't live up to what you expected. I've said it before, expectations are sure to ruin a good thing.
hmmm, as for the phan comment about us being disgruntled but still wanting to see trey......i totally disagree, i have been very unimpressed with trey lately......and as a matter of fact i hope to have another show to occupy my time while he is playing this year......reasons=i dont seem to like his (TAB) shows......in the few shows ive seen he appeared authoritative and dictator-ish.....funny thing was with phish he played as a member, not director and i loved it......he definitely exhibits a different personality when away from the phish crew......
That's my point though. R4v3n doesn't care for Trey's current work so he doesn't give Trey his money or support or whatever.
I think there is an epidimeic of neurosesthat is easily working its way through this community. Not just with Phishheads either. All things change and eventually end. It's a part of life and with an increasing amount of people with an inability to accept this fact concerns me.
I'm a pretty big Dylan fan and I used to post on a lot of the sites but I had to stop 'cause man, you think, hippies are crazy and critical! Spend an hour with a hardcore Dylan afficianado who will argue the importance of every single syllable and it's place in a chord structure for an entire albumand how it all relates to the brain matter he lost in his motorcycle accident. A lot of the people were real cool but 70% of the time you'd get folks complaining about some arrangement on the Neverending tour or how his voice is shot or he doesn't play guitar anymore. It just goes on and on.
Yet these people still buy his albums and still pay attention to every little thing he does. I don't know, to me that seems unhealthy.
it does seem unhealthy when put that way......in the very least, depressing......i have to admit that i have friends that have done that very same thing since the phish breakup.....why must we set ourselves up for disappointment??
