Wtf? I just got back from roo and only the first few songs are from people that were at the festival. Fail.

MystileArmor @ Jun 15th 2009 11:39PM

hence the word "few" in the article.
It helps when you read it.

..
fail.

Benjamin Breeg @ Jun 15th 2009 11:46PM

Try to follow Iron Maiden = fail.

YoShI MuSt DiE @ Jun 15th 2009 11:50PM

A7X?!?!?! Yes! Woo-hoo!!! And Shinedown??? Are they trying to send me to the poor house???

drumwiz86 @ Jun 16th 2009 12:10AM

congratulations on terrible, awful taste in music. can you like something without a major media conglomerate telling you it's cool?

T @ Jun 16th 2009 1:52AM

@drumwiz86:
congratulations on your self-important, "non-conformist" taste in music. can you like something without the guy behind the counter at hot topic telling you it's cool?

dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jun 16th 2009 1:57AM

Congratulations, assholes, on being assholes. I do sincerely think both of those bands blow chunks, but why do you folks see fit to cut a person down over their tastes? If they like it, they like it. That's that. You can't really convince them otherwise. Some people scour for new and obscure things, and some people are content with what's radio friendly and popular. As long as MY favorite bands are still around, I don't give a fuck.

YoShI MuSt DiE @ Jun 16th 2009 3:57PM

A7X I admit I like. Shinedown I like 1-2 songs and I was excited to see the one song I like be on Rock Band. But that's not all I like. Theres stuff in the same genre I HATE and then theres stuff in other genres I like. I'm not into the whole rap/hip-hop scene and though I put up with it I don't care if other people like or like what I like. So dark_inchworm I'll repeat what you said and say i dont care what u like, as long as what I like is still out there, then i'm happy

drumwiz86 @ Jun 16th 2009 4:15PM

@T

You're obviously clueless, hot topic is the problem. Hot topic is what tells people like the OP what to like. They're part of the major media conglomerate (owned by the same company that owns old navy, the gap). When people start realizing that just because something is on TV or Radio or The internet or other media sources doesn't make it cool, the world will be a much better place full of people capable of independent and critical thought.

@ dark_inchworm

Firstoff, no body needs all your gamertags in one username. Second, I don't really care if he takes my opinions of his tastes into consideration. I'm not here to convince people of anything. That would be stupid. I'm here to run my mouth and share what I think, if you don't like it, then you don't like it. I can live with that.

YoShI MuSt DiE @ Jun 16th 2009 4:22PM

ok 1st off I'm never shopped at Hot Topic and 2nd I dont listen to the media A7X and Shinedown are never in the media. Its music theres something for everyone get over it.

@drumwiz86

I agree once people realize that just because something is in the media it doesnt make it cool. The world would be better off with people finding stuff they like instead of listening to all the media sources out there

SantaDuJuan @ Jun 16th 2009 12:46AM

I'd buy it if it had some Animal Collective
BONNARROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Monkeydog @ Jun 16th 2009 3:44AM

How in the world would you play that?

I'd much prefer some of Montreal or Decemberists. Andrew Bird would be nice too.

Cesaria (seh-sare-ee-ah) @ Jun 16th 2009 11:31AM

I second the of Montreal statement. Although, most of their newer stuff would be nigh impossible to play as well. Can I throw Wilco into the mix? Specifically "Impossible Germany." That would be epic.

SantaDuJuan @ Jun 16th 2009 11:33AM

You could easily put certain sounds to the guitar, bass, or drums.
It's not hard actually

bongoes @ Jun 16th 2009 11:52AM

I second the Decemberists. Specifically "Sixteen Military Wives", that song is all kinds of awesome. And I agree with Wilco. "Impossible Germany" would be epic indeed.

Monkeydog @ Jun 23rd 2009 6:12PM

I know I'm totally late at this.

I know SantaDuJuan, it's just it would be a very odd thing to play Animal Collective songs, since they are very heavily electronic based (especially newer stuff). It'd be like playing anything from Radiohead's Kid A....just weird, even if the instruments are there.

BleachMan! @ Jun 16th 2009 1:20AM

That would be hard to pull off, man :/
But if they do it, my god... insta-buy

So there was this State Farm sponsored booth at Bonnaroo that served two purposes: a) teaching people the way of the DJ, and b) internet access. I went in there exclusively for B once or twice a day. On the leftmost laptop, Joystiq was in the browser's history before I had even touched it.

I smiled.
