Title: I just bid money I don't have on a Bonnaroo ticket
Post by: Bloodwake on April 13, 2009, 02:57:12 PM: I've never been before, but I always wanted to go. Plus, of Montreal is playing and that has to be worth the price of admission alone.

And my girlfriend is going.

I'm sure I will get outbid but whatever.

Post by: Bloodwake on April 13, 2009, 03:05:30 PM: I have the money in a savings account. I really want to go. I will probably have to sit through Bruce Springsteen but the other bands are worth the price of admission. P

Drugs would be the only way to survive! science fact that phish shows are great if you're stoned enough. Their light show is fucking incredible...

Post by: Don Flamenco on April 13, 2009, 03:10:00 PM: true. definitely no shortage of "I got busted before/after a [insert jamband here] show" horror stories.

Post by: Bloodwake on April 13, 2009, 03:15:49 PM: Yeah, Bonnaroo is sorta known for rampant drug use too. I have so many friends with Radiohead acid trip stories it's incredible.

Why the hate for jam bands? You know that jazz groups are essentially jam acts as well, right?

:lol no fucking way. you're thinking "they both improvise, so they MUST be similar." The fact is, musically, there's a whole different thing going on in both. and it's not a straight line from jazz to jam bands. it's more like jazz > funk, disco > fusion > prog rock > jam bands.
Jam bands bite off all of those (and incorporate blue grass, techno, rap, etc. as well.) 50s sitcom and commercial music are also jazzy, but that's not like...some...weird requirement that I have to like those now just because it's talented and like jazz.

They use different instrument sets and largely different chord palettes, but it takes essentially the same skills to play these styles. Hate on the fans all you want, but denying the talent and musical ability of these guys is absurd.

There's no denying the talent. Phish is seriously fucking talented, especially. but it's not the same skills at all. The closer neighbors to jam bands are fusion and prog rock. Talent doesn't mean people have to like it. basically any nationally known musician/group has enough talent to get nationally known. ;)

every dead jazz musician is rolling in their grave...

I knew that the Bop circles had some strong usage but I didn't know that extended outward as well.

Phish sucks.

True that, one of my best friends likes them (he's been to Bonnaroo a couple of times). He played them for me one time and with all their talent they write songs like "the wheels are the things on the bus that make it go round and round" or some crap like that and I'm like, really? ::) Spend $25 and go see Cannibal Corpse and Obscura nukka! :punch
