"If you haven't seen a band perform live, then you aren't very well acquainted with that band."
This is a pretty ridiculous statement. I never saw Elvis, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, Hendrix, and on and on and on. And yet I feel pretty acquainted with these groups.
"I, once, was a hater." This is really all anyone needs to see of this post to tune out. Now that you've seen the light, you can go around telling everybody that they 'just don't get it? Your post is filled with a whole lot of holier-than-thou.
Also, you should not be be surprised at the response to this thread. This board is filled to the brim with people who care very deeply for their music, and by coming in with this attitude of showing us all the light you were asking for the response. How bout next time you're offended by someone's opinion, you tell it TO THAT PERSON. You know, in "real life." That is, as opposed to waiting to anonymously berate them on a forum on the interwebz that they will probably never see.
I agree with you 100%. I thought it through over and over Sunday night and wished I had said something. I was struggling with the question of "is it worth it?" I wasn't coming into these boards preaching, I was more or less writing a blog about one of my experiences at Bonnaroo that was on my mind and I came off the wrong way. This post was directed at the people constantly yelling obscenities about certain bands at Bonnaroo...if you didn't hear them, then you can't really relate to my experience. I am, however, saying that there are a lot of bands out there that you "don't get" that are amazing artists. Same for me!!!
As far as not being well acquainted with artists you haven't seen live...I think you can have a very good understanding of what an artist is going for and have a great feel for them based off of album material. I also think that an artist can steal you away with their live performance, regardless of what you thought of their material prior. I'm sure you've seen several bands that you weren't a fan of until after the show was over.
OMG you can find anything on the internet. I just found a pic of someones butt tattooed with a rainbow unicorn with white power and a Nazi symbol. WTF!
I did not post it out of respect for all on the board.
damnit, i didnt know my ass shot leaked on the innertubes...
I definitely worded that wrong, I admit. I appreciate what he does and I respect him as a musician, I have just never been able to get into his music. Most people I know that are avid fans grew up listening to him...I did not.
I looooooooove how he STILL doesn't know that he's spelling Bruce Springsteen wrong. Dude, noone is going out of their way to make you look stupid for posting your opinion about DMB, people are going out of their way to make you look stupid because you don't know how to spell Bruce Springsteen. Seriously

Also, that unicorn comment made me seriously LOL.
You know I didn't think Dove Mayhews Band was actually that bad when I saw them at 'roo.
you guys are such a$$es on this site. Everyone of you simply want to act holier than thou and prove how much smarter you are in ANY musical genre. It is revolting, childish, and it is ruining this board.

I know I have not posted much myself, but to defend the OP. I did not think that his intentions were to insult the people that use inforoo are tell them how to express their feeling about bands at bonnaroo. He was simply stating that it would be nice if the small % of people that walk around roo yelling "DMB Killed Bonnaroo" would be more productive if they actually discussed their musical taste with people, and gave band a chance to suprise them in a live show. I agree with him that a guy standing on the side of shakedown screaming "DMB killed Bonnaroo" does nothing to improve the atmosphere of the festive that we love.
In his post he never commented on any of the threads on these boards or the +/- comments people make on the boards, his entire post was about the disheartening experience he had while at roo.
So you joined this board to tell us we are all jerks because we don't like DMB? I mean this is not happy funtime magic unicorn rainbow board, this is a board where we discuss music what we do and do not like, and how it pertains to Bonnaroo.
I didn't say that at all...don't put words in my mouth. I just don't understand why, if this is indeed a board where "we discuss music what we do and do not like", I can't say talk about DMB and say I dislike Bruce Springstein without being told to shut up. Several people have posted on this thread and simply put an opinion (much appreciated), and several have gone out of their way to make me feel stupid for ever posting my opinion. [
You're soooo close, but you haven't quite made it all the way there.
