Coheed sucks lately.

It's a shame to, i've seen them like 13 times over the course of the last 6 years and as their fanbase grew the show became less inspired. :cry:

Now that they're rock stars, the crowd is a piece of shit... it seems all there old fans have moved on... I too.... :(

I dunno...were you at neverender back in october? One of the craziest crowds I have ever seen.

I wouldn't call them rock stars yet...they never get to headline outside of tiny club dates or the occasional prime festival slot
Usually they get dragged along by linkin park or slipknot when they play arenas, hardly crowds that would dig that kind of music.

But they do!!!

i was indeed at neverender, i saw the first three days. It was pretty awesome.


BUT! i saw them at the electric factory in philly afterwards.... and it was really not good. They just do the same show, and play the crowd pleasers :[

The crowd is unresponsive at shows lately. i don't know. My baby has grown up into a big machine :(

I waited 10 hours to get in. Seriously.

BUT OMGWTF IT WAS AMAZING.

The Decemberits and NIN put on AMAZING shows, and everyone I saw was incredible.

No boobs, though. : [

We only waited two because we got there just in time for a little late night storm-shit-fest. NIN was incredible, but The Boss was amazing.

Who else did you see?

Delta Spirits, Portugal. The Man, Gomez, Kaki King, Bela Fleck, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beastie Boys, Phoenix, Chrystal Castles, Rodrigo Y Gabriella, Of Montreal, The Decemberists, Russian Circles, Nine Inch Nails, High on Fire, Merle Haggard, Snoop Dogg, Coheed and Cambria. In that order.

There were more that I wanted to see... There are some more I would have liked to catch... I cut out of some early to catch others.

I felt rushed to try and get in all I wanted to see and ended up missing out on a lot. This is my first Bonnaroo but not my first festival and it was really hard to see all the stuff going on there. I felt like it was harder than other festivals to get to stage to stage. Oh well, I still got to see some amazing stuff: Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, TV on the Radio, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Bon Iver, Wilco, Bruce, NIN.

'Twas my first festival in general. I didn't have... that much trouble, but I was pretty decided on what I wanted to see before I went into it. The only problem I had is that I got lost a lot... everything looked the same. :lol: I can think of a few bands I would have liked to see that I didn't get to, though. I figure for that to happen, the festival would have to be longer (since I was almost constantly watching SOMETHING), and I was sooo drained at the end.

They had Veggie pizza, though. And Iced Chai. Which was a great combo for chilling to Merle Haggard after having my ears blasted out by High on Fire. :love:

Yeah don't worry I got lost a lot too.

The food was actually really good, and not that horribly priced either.

I wanted to see both Merle and High on Fire, but once again sacrifices :(
