Fuck Kanye

[Angry Ewok]

It says something when you're walking around Bonnaroo and the only person more hated than George Bush is Kanye West.

[Hawkeye]

Any reason in particular?  I mean, besides the self-explanatory ones?

Man, that's just uncool. Not very cool on Pearl Jam's part, either, though, for taking their set an hour over limit when they've got someone with an elaborate stage set-up going after them. In a festival environment, you have GOT to respect everyone else's time constraints.

What would've been cool of Kanye would have been to work hard to get everything set up ASAP, come on and apologize so hard for everything taking a little longer than it should have, and then totally show up Pearl Jam in energy and fun, and really make it worth waiting a little longer. What he did was take the brunt of the disappointment on himself, where it could've been primarily on PJ for giving them little time to set up the stage.

If his lateness was a reaction to PJ, I can understand frustration there, too. But taking it out on fans isn't cool.

Of course, if Eddie didn't run his fucking mouth about politics... then they wouldn't have been so late playing.

THey would have played late anyways. Everyone knew they were gonna go over their time, they never play a 2 hour set. Kanye is a douche though, those people waiting for him could have done other things with their time, like watch the kickass Ghostland Observatory set.

He was orignally given an 8pm time slot but requested late night. Serves him right.

i'm soooo glad i decided to go to bed. i couldn't even hang to see phil lesh :-(  that was ridiculous----i really wanted to see his show, though.

eddie vedder is annoying, i'm sorry. i love PJ but their show was kind of blah---and i'm sick of him saying the same sh** at every show.

i was kind of sick of all the politics there this bonnaroo--even broken social scene broke into a song about f*bush and war..yadda yadda...it's like, yeah we all understand and get it...hopefully it encouraged at least one person to get out and vote.

JJ was actually on hand in the audience during Kanye, way towards the back I believe he left around 4.  He was rocking a blue trucker hat pulled down way low, and kind of barreled through the crowd so not to be recognized.  My buddy spoke to him for a quick second as a fellow Kentucky'er.

Did that article say "bonnaroo boobirds"????

What the hell is that??  ;)

my friend stood next to jim james during kanye---they actually got denied coming in the guest/artist entrance w/their beer and had to stand there and drink it. my friend was laughing. he said JJ was TRASHED and swaying back and forth. wish i could have stayed up!!!

[thatswhatshesaid]

wow. people on here are seriously bitching that PJ went over? like the name of this thread says.... fuck kanye! he should have thought about shit like that before agreeing to go on after them.

kanye says jump, i say how high, how high

The reason I stop liking PJ. Eddie Vedder spent 45 mins at concert one time bitching about Bush. I felt like he wasted my money! I've been so disgusted with PJ since that I don't even bother to listen to them.  >:(

[MMJ_fanatic]

This guys is really getting a lot of hate in all kinds of media outlets for pulling this shiiiite

[upstatestruggler]

shit, dudes, I didn't even go to bonnaroo- for the first time in YEARS- 'cause I knew it would roll out like this. politics, egos, dildos, politics, political dildos... wtfever. flaming lips' set last year was a grim foreshadowing of this year's 'political' bullsheeet, for me. and kanye west? someone who pisses and moans like faith hill with a super plus tampon when someone else, god forbid, wins an award? ugh. my man went with a buddy and when I saw the 'gold tooth' ticket, I was like, huh? why kiss this guy's ass some more? bonnaroo needs to get back to its bonnaroots. sorry, lame pun. I know.
mmj, sorry I missed ya. running into a drunken jim would have prolly been worth 24 straight hours of vedder's barely intelligible sneering and muttering, but I just ain't that lucky.

[Penny Lane]

watching Jim watch Kanye lol
