Title: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on April 11, 2006, 10:24:31 AM
Now we have a thread for talking about rock shows.  You're welcome.

I saw Art Brut last night and had a great time.  A woman tried to pour a beer over my head.  A beer I had just given her.  She was possibly the drunkest person in the bar.  The band played very well, with lots of energy and fun.  The sound system and mixing were excellent.

I don't know what show I'm going to next.  I'm old and boring and I don't go out much any more.

Ha, the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread title was Art Brut.  I saw him Sunday night in DC.  It was a really kick ass show.  Not sure where you saw him but my venure was really small, few hundred people tops, and it was crazy loud and full of energy.  If any of you haven't heard of him, check it out, he's kinda brit punk/pop, if that's a real thing.

I havn't been to a show in awhile other than a few small shows at the chameleon in lancaster.  This summer has alot of good tours coming up though.

The best show I've seen recently was Paul Westerberg at the HOB in Orlando.

Excellent performance.  He was (relatively) sober and in good spirits.  Tight set and a nice mixture of old and new songs.

Black Cat

I don't know if you ever went to the "old" Otto bar, but it moved a couple years ago to its present venue.  Much bigger, better sound system, etc.  Anyway..point is I think they aim to be the Baltimore version of the Black Cat. 

I like both places just fine.

Went to the moe show on saturday night.  I'm not a huge jam-band/hippy rock fan, but every few months or so I like to get stoned and go dance like a retard.  I can't help but laugh at how everyone just spasms and they pretend it's dancing.  This place was outdoors and byob so obviously I was very intoxicated.  We brought a 12-pack, a bottle of wine, and a bottle of champagne.  Second time I've seen them actually and I've had a great time at both.  Not to mention tons of cute hippy chicks.

Also, going to see NIN tonight.

it's a great show.  went 2 weeks ago, it was also an outdoor show and i loved it.  saw them indoors about 6 months ago and i actually liked the outdor show better.  the lights and all the effects they do on stage makes it seem like your watching a movie, and it's different for every show.  if you're a nails fan, you'll love it. 

plus it helps to get really high before and during.  it really made me want to follow them around, thats how good the show was.  stupid job.

This past Friday Mrs. Demon and I went to see Black Crowes, with Drive By Tuckers and The Robert Randolph Family Band opening.  RR & The Family Band was the best show on the bill.  Lots of funky jamming, coupled with new-age hippy chicks dancing in very skimpy clothing.  The chicks were hot, the night was cool, and the music was great.

I would most defiantly go see The Robert Randolph Family Band again.
Title: Re: Rock shows

I'm dig the Drive By Truckers.  You weren't impressed with their show?
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: phattymatty on June 27, 2006, 09:51:52 AM
Nice, I saw the Black Crowes a little while back.  They were good, a little more jam bandy than I thought they would be.  I was a big fan of Shake your Moneymaker when I was little and never knew they were so hippyish, because the album was pretty rocking.  Still a good show though. 
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on June 27, 2006, 09:56:44 AM
It's a shame what happened to that band.  They weren't breaking any new ground with Shake Your Moneymaker, but the execution was spot on.  It was a pretty kick ass rock and roll album.

Now they're just a stoned out hippy jam band collecting checks from displaced Dead heads and their progeny. 
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: mussa on June 27, 2006, 11:16:06 AM
black crowes are classic rock and roll. you wonder why hippies go to their concerts? ha. black crowes are good and if ever get to hear the live cd with jimmy page, its excellent.  chris robinson is prob the only guy that can sing close to robert plant.

I saw the Crowes a while back at the House of Blues in Orlando.

They weren't bad.  They weren't great either and I was expecting a lot more from that show than they actually delivered.

Ah, well...

Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on June 27, 2006, 12:53:34 PM
I'm not saying they sound alike, I'm saying they're both jam bands.  The Black Crowes fancy themselves something akin to the Allman Bros., but with their interminable, noodley jams, they come off sounding more like a traditional jam band than a serious blues-based rock and roll band.

I don't need to see them again, that's for sure.
Title: Re: Rock shows

Not at all, I had two options here:
Option A: Use a winky face after the sentence to let you know I was just farging around. I know how much you hate those faces so I went with Option B which was just the sentence. You should feel privledged that I took your feelings into account.  And great SW reference there (you'd get a thumbs up)

Saw Silvertide and Sammy Hagar tonight.

Silvertide plays some good ol' rock-n-roll, ala vintage Black Crowes.  They also played some new stuff that I suppose is on their upcoming CD.   :cfhead :cfhead

Sammy is Sammy... what can you say.  The man can put together a stage show, that's for sure.  Lots of bikini-clad waitresses bringing him and band-mates out Waboritas, lots of confetti, lots of posing with the St. Louis jersyes...   plus, some real good old time rock.  I forgot I liked him as much as I now remember.  Also, I want to drink tequilla.  And quite a bit of it.  Good show.   :cfhead :cfhead :cfhead

bloc party was pretty great.  would have been better had it been at a smaller venue.  this was a huge place that used to be a public swimming pool in greenpoint brooklyn.  but they rocked.

secret machines opened up for them, they were pretty good too, i'm not a huge fan though.

it actually could be a really cool place.

but the beer situation was awful.  basically you had to wait in one line to get a bracelet, only to wait in another line to actually get your beer.

luckily i had already been drinking heavily for 4 hours beforehand or else i probably would have waited.  it must have taken people close to 2 hours to get beers.

Just got home from Willie Nelson and John Fogarty.

Willie was Willie, but it's a shame he's showing his age.  In fact, considering all the abuse he has put his body through, I'm surprised he's lasted 73 years.  He did a good job -- nice, mellow evening listening to twangy music.  I really wanted to see Willie tonight, as he is an "American Icon."

I've never been much of a CCR or John Fogarty fan, but Mrs. Demon and I decided to stay and listen anyway.  Damn glad I did -- Fogarty's show was amazing.  Loud doesn't begin to describe it, but the music was awesome, Fogarty's voice was strong, and the energy was extremely high.  I'm now much more of a fan of his that I was.  I'd definately see him again given the chance.

The entire show was amazing. Jambi was great, def one of my fav's off the new album. I'd have to say Lateralus or AEnima were the highlights of the night for me. Lateralus for just the awesomeness of the song and everyone was going crazy and AEnima because EVERYONE was singing right along.  The rain was a bitch at first, but after awhile you were drenched and you didn't care. From then on it just added to the show.

I've heared mixed reviews on the Verizon Center (formerly the MCI Center). Some say it has terrible accoustics, while others say it's great for a large concert. I'd rather see them at the Nissan Pavillion, but farg it. It's TOOL. I'd watch them just about anywhere. The concert they did in Osaka was easily the best show I have ever seen in my life, and there have been many. I've seen TOOL two times, tomorrow will be my third, and I've seen A Perfect Circle twice.  Both the TOOL and the APC concerts easily rank in the top ten I've seen.

Same here, Lateralus was insane, I thought the place was going to explode when they played Aenima. They opened with Stinkfist, The Pot and 46 and 2. Didn't hear anything off their first album and was a little disappointed they didn't play Prison Sex or Sober but oh well, the show was awesome.

Dylan was fantastic.  He played keyboard and harp for the entire show.  His harp skills have not diminished one bit..in fact, they've improved.  Excellent renditions of Ballad of a Thin Man and Thunder on the Mountain, among several outstanding songs.

QuoteWaters' upcoming show at Wachovia Center will include two full sets plus encores, with "state-of-the-art staging lighting and sound." The first set will feature an overview of Waters' musical career, including selections from throughout his run as Pink Floyd's primary songwriter. The second set will feature Waters and a full band performing "Dark Side of the Moon" from start to finish. The album was issued in l973, and remained on the Billboard Top 200 chart for a record-breaking 15 years.

Waters' band for the tour features Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar, vocals), Snowy White (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar, vocals) Jon Carin (keyboards, vocals), Graham Broad (drums), Harry Waters (Hammond organ), Ian Ritchie (saxophone), and Katie Kissoon, PP Arnold and Carol Kenyon (vocals).

Waters was a primary creative force in Pink Floyd from 1965 to 1983. Pink Floyd's recordings were moderately successful through 1972. But "The Dark Side of the Moon" (March 1973), for which Waters wrote all the lyrics and some of the music, was a commercial breakthrough that became one of the most successful albums in rock history. (He was the sole author of the album's Top Ten hit, "Money.") He took an increasingly dominant role in the writing of subsequent Pink Floyd albums, writing all the lyrics and collaborating on the music for "Wish You Were Here" (September 1975), writing most of "Animals" (February 1977) and "The Wall" (November 1979), and writing all of "The Final Cut" (March 1983). All were million sellers, with "The Wall" in particular rivaling the sales of "The Dark Side of the Moon." (Waters was the sole author of "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2," a gold, number one single drawn from The Wall.)

I'm in for the Tampa show.

"Roger Waters. Wachovia Center. June 1, 2007." That's the writing on the wall - well, on this jumbo-sized, really heavy brick the folks at Comcast Spectacor sent as part of a news release. The Pink Floyd dude will tour with a wigged-out playlist: Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety and select songs from other Pink records. Tix, at $56 to $128, go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. Info: ComcastTIX.com, 1-800-298-4200 or the Wachovia Complex Box Office.

So, what to do with this p.r. brick...

I have to agree with Dio on this one, for sure.  I gave up arena shows ten years ago.  Too big, can't see shtein, and the sound is almost always distorted from teh echo.

I now go to  a) small bar places with <700 people, or b) outside amphitheaters, but more for the experience and people watching than expecting to see a great show.  Music is usually OK, but people watching puts it over the top.

Saw (hed) pe last night on a whim.  Buddy of mine called around 10pm and said they were headlining a show in J-ville.  Got there around 10:45 and they weren't scheduled to come out until 11:30.  Apparently the bands prior to were a bunch of unknowns because it seemed like everyone was showing up around 11. 

2nd time I've seen them live and they friggin r@\/\/k3d!!  Not bad for $10.  This was by far, the coolest thing to ever happen in this town.

What songs did they play, do you remember? Represent and War would be badass in real life I'd imagine.

Bartender may be my favorite live performance song of all time.  Both times I've seen them play that song it seems to really turn the place out.  Them and Godsmack put on 2 of the best live performances I've ever seen. 

They played some stuff off their newest album too (Back 2 Base X) that I hadn't heard before.  Actually, I hadn't heard anything off of that album.  I suck. 

But yeah, the show was awesome.

Clutch did kick ass. I was worried that perhaps 26 was too late in life to see my first concert, as the first band was too loud and sucked badly. The second band also sucked, but not nearly as much. Clutch apparently had people to tune their instruments and do sound checks, as they sounded just fine.

I have to wonder when it became appropriate to wear the shirt of the band you're going to see. Just in the line outside there were a dozen Clutch shirts that I could see, and more than a handful inside where there were a couple hundred people.

Saw Tool last night in Jacksonville.  Good show.  The band was excellent. 

One thing, though... does Maynard James Keenan always sing with his back facing the audience?  At first I thought it was amusing and kinda cool but as the show progressed it become increasingly distracting to watch.

Also - I took several photos with my useless cell phone but only a couple of them turned out.  Sorry for the lousy quality...

yea he's always had a strange stage positions. earlier in his career he was more up front, but as years went on he became less noticeable. lateralus tour you just saw his outline against a screen filled with graphics. ive seen them twice since 10k days has been released and its pretty much the same.

i don't know why that would bother you. i mean its about the music and the visuals and how they mix. who gives a farg where the singer is?

do you remember the set list at all? im seeing them twice nxt weekend. and then again in july. can't wait!

Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
Intension/Right in Two
Intermission
Wings for Marie/10k Days
Lateralus
Vicarious


And I didn't say it "bothered" me, mussa.  I said it was distracting.  I'm a relative newcomer to the band and it was my first time seeing them live.  I'm not used to seeing a lead singer standing in the back next to the drummer without so much as a spotlight on him.  It was an interesting choice and like I said it didn't bother me so much as it was a distraction visually.

no pushtein? i just looked up the setlists and saw they were using 2 setlists. yours looked like it should include pushtein also. im just curious because thats prob my fav tool song and the ext. live version is soo good. after these 3 shows i will have seen them live 8 times.

yea i guess it can be kind of distracting. i mean they don't appear in there videos and they pretty much try to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible, so to a longtime fan its not big deal, its just how they do.

There's a cocktail waitress at a local watering hole that was absolutely beautiful when she first started last football season.  She was young, athletic, and really naturally pretty.  Think Pam Anderson before she sucked 10,000 dicks.

Anyway, it's been a while since I've been to this particular joint so I stopped in on Friday night to watch a ball game and grab a bite to eat.  She comes walking up to me and I swear to God I didn't recognize her.

She had tattoos up and down both arms and legs, she had piercings in her ears, nose, upper lip and eyebrows and she had cut her naturally blonde hair off and dyed it black like some ridiculous goth nitwit.

I almost cried.  Why do women insist on defacing something that is so hot?  I even asked her why she did it and she said she just needed a change.  A change??  I don't know, why not just get a couple of fake colored contact lenses then?

Stupid bitch.

I've come around on the tattoo issue.  I like one or two on a woman if they're well-placed.   That's fine.

This funhole had literally covered herself in tattoos up and down all four limbs.  In a couple of years when she's got two bastich children hanging off each sagging tit and two black eyes from the unemployed loser she's shacked up with, those tattoos are really gonna look sweet in the welfare line.

since now I know this exists:

I went to the Taste of Chaos tour yesterday in Camden

Bullet for my Valentine was much better than expected [and often reported as]

Atreyu was good, but played too many new songs, and didn't showcase their guitarist[Danny] as much, which blows

Avenged Sevenfold is a great live band, but they only played 5 songs I knew [of about 10], and I only liked 2 [Unholy Confessions/Second Heartbeat]


overall a good show, and had fun tailgating

For the most part Doughty is good live, with his soul coughing days, i think I have seen him 6 or 7 times. His biggest problem is actually that he tours too much and you can tell when he has because the only people at his show are his diehards.

I think he's been touring for 3 years straight now, and you can tell he is sick of it. He's playing the TLA next week, but he was here back in January, and again last spring. He overkills himself, especially with the songs Busting up a Starbucks and 27 Jennifers

Saw Ben Folds last night.  Before I get called a fag, I always thought he was one of those homo indie rock douches too, but dude totally killed it.  It was seriously an awesome show.  That guy can rock out.  Plus, it was at this great outdoor venue where you can bring all the food and booze in you want.  There was a girl on the left part of the stage who was signing for the deaf people throughout the show, so at one point he improved a song where he just said shtein and farg, then he started saying poop, just to see if i was a different sign than shtein, then a bunch of really long words and then the girl just shrugged her shoulders and gave up.  Anyway, I have a brand new respect for Ben Folds, the music was good and he was funny and put on a really good show.

i'd definitely check him out again. 

he had a guitarist and a drummer with him, but they weren't on stage the entire show.  it was mostly just him on the piano.  And he played an altoids tin for one song.

Cruefest.  I don't know if it's true or not, but Nikki Sixx said this was the first stop on a national Cruefest tour.

Bands:
Trapt
Sixx AM
Papa Roach
Buckcherry
Motley Crue

The sound for Trapt sucked.  I'm sure they were good, but I couldn't tell, because it sounded like mush.

Sixx AM was very, very good.  They rocked, and had great stage presence.  Plus, with it being Nikki Sixx's side project, the sound was great.

Papa Roach stole the show.  I went to this wanting to see Buckcherry, but I could have left after Papa Roach performed and thought I saw a great show.  I would absolutely see them again, whether they opened or headlined.   The lead singer, Jacoby Shaddix, went waaaaay deep into the crowd for a song, and Phanatic and I were right there next to him.  We were high-fived by a Roach.  Awesome.

Buckcherry - Great music, and a good show.  But following the Roach was bad for them.  They just couldn't pull it off as a semi-headliner.  Which disappointed me, because I'm a big fan.

Crue - started off VERY rough, with Vince Niel missing half his lines and making the crowd sing the first two songs.  After that, they were able to pull it together.  Did Live Wire, Anarchy, and Dr. Feelgood to win us back after a couple of zesty songs.  Great pyrotechnics and show.

There were two chickes there I tried really, really hard to get pictures of, because I knew you fargers would like them.  One was Pregnant Girl, wearing a skimpy bikini top and about 8 months pregnant.  In fact, we got better seats than our own because of her.  When she passed, we were right in front of Row One of the second half, and this old chick asked me "Did you see that shtein?"  To which I replied - "You know why I dig pregnant chicks? Because it's gets me THAT close to a threesome!"  She loved the line, and we sat in her better seats the rest of the show.  The second chick was Body Armor Chick, who was wearing a full upper body cast that had pre-molded tits on it, and she was rocking out as best she could without moving anything between her neck and hips.  You would have loved her.  My camera phone sucks ass, so no pictures.  Sorry.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Phanatic on July 21, 2008, 02:04:53 AM
Gotta say that despite the cheesey cliche music that is Motley Crew that hot chick in front of us practically stripped right in the isle to 'Girls Girls Girls'. Hitty hit hit F'n A!

Also sensed some animosity between Crew and the Buck Cherry guys. All the singers came out to chip in on a crew song except BC's singer and they were not mentioned by Vince Neil at all while everyone else was.

I was also surprised at how well Vince was able to sing the night. Despite cheating here and there he sounded pretty good for him.

That and yes Papa Roach stole the show no doubt about it...

To cap the evening we saw a pretty hot chick drop her pants and piss in the parking lot all over herself. It was hot and disgusting all at the same time...

Really like The Bravery.  Ashes Divide is awesome, basically members of A Perfect Circle.  10 Years is a really good band imo, other than ever song having the same sound.  Atreyu is good hard stuff, and my boy who went to the show in philly is in love with the Street drum corps

There were some serious hotties in Jax too but that's not all that uncommon.  I had club seats and the best part of sitting there is open access to full liquor all night long.  I ran out of money and had to hit the ATM about 2/3 of the way through the show.

Metallica was in St. Louis last night, but I didn't go.  Haven't liked them since way back, just like everyone.  But one thing I heard about the show is that they played edited versions of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "One", shortening them each by several minutes. 

What a sell out piece of shtein band they have become.

top 9 bands with the worst fans (http://www.spike.com/blog/top-9-bands-with/74145)

Quote9. The Grateful Dead


I'm gonna go ahead and say now that as a band, The Grateful Dead isn't as bad as everybody makes them out to be. They do have some really amazing songs. Blues For Allah is a great f***ing record, and it's not their fault their fans act like every single one of their lives sets is the greatest thing since the iPhone. I feel like the fans kinda turned the band in a cartoon cliché of what they originally were back in the '60s. It was like the Deadhead community was growing like the plague and the band had no control over it. Freakin' longhairs.

I guess people just hate hippies. Sorry, Jerry.


8. Fall Out Boy


Even though this band made their millions and are now officially falling of the pop map, I still want to point out how dumb and naive their followers are.

How can you be a fan a band that tries to make fun of pop clichés when they are the f***ing clichés themselves? I can't deny that these talentless assclowns made a buttload of money pretty much overnight, but I find it disgusting that they wrap themselves in a fanbase of mindless teenage girls. If I was a parent and my teenage daughter had a poster of Pete Wentz on her wall, I would throw her in a box and ship her to Burma.

You can toss their fans in the "teeny bopper" category, but these goth-poppers actually think they're non-conforming by listening to these dickless goobers.

7. Tokio Hotel



When I wrote my year-end Top 10 Worst Music Videos of 2008 list I of course threw a Tokio Hotel video in at the #4 spot. After featuring the list, I got an endless stream of comments and personal messages from their 12-year-old fans telling me how stupid I am for putting them on the list. What kind of Kool-Aid are these fruity emo f***s feeding these girls?

First off, their music is just plain horrible. All of their songs are watered-down melodic pop/rock with the worst lyrics I have ever heard in my life. They're like a goth boy band who grew up on David Hasselhoff and Bauhaus. I just hope these little girls understand that in two years time they will be spending weeks on end trying to figure out why they even bought into this band's music in the first. I guarantee Tokio Hotel will be on an episode of "Where Are They Now" in the very near future. Guaranteed!

6. Madonna


If it wasn't for fat chicks and gay men, Madonna's career would have been over a long time ago. (This goes for Britney Spears as well). Seriously, when was the last time this women actually put out a half-decent album? Her fans are so braindead that they will buy into any new persona Madonna reinvents herself as.

"I'm a ****. No, wait, I'm political. No. No, wait, I'm a washed-up 50-year-old disco queen wearing really revealing spandex."

It's unbelievable to think that these dumbasses went ahead and paid upwards of $300 a ticket to see her perform live. Can you believe that they helped Madonna gross $281.6 million worth of tickets for her Sticky and Sweet tour last year? If you want to see an old women in spandex rolling around on stage just go watch my grandma get down at her retirement home aerobics class in Miami. It's free!

5. The Dave Matthews Band


This goes out to every douchey frat guy that used a Dave Matthews song to get laid in college.

Dave Matthews fans are like a cleaner, richer, and cheesier version of a Deadhead. They eat up every single thing the band puts out and drop ridiculous sums of money to see the band play the same set list show after show. I also find it annoying that they always refer to the band as "Dave."

"Did you see Dave this weekend? It was a killer set, man. They closed the show with 'Crash' and 'Tripping Billies.' Unreal, bra!"

Blow me. Why do most rich white collar Americans always have the worst taste in music? Farm Aid would be out of business if they stopped listening though.

(All respects to Willie Nelson BTW...)

4. Backstreet Boys, New Kids, Tiffany, etc. (Teeny Boppers)

The thing that sucks about these fans the most is that they really have no musical taste whatsoever. It's pretty much known that they don't give two s**ts about the music they purchase in the millions. All they care about is the image of the artist. That's all they're infatuated with. The Backstreet Boys could have farted into a microphone for the entirety of one of their CDs and it still would have gone multiplatinum. Just as long as they look young, wholesome, and cute doing it, they would continue to have success with their zombie-like fanbase.

3. Insane Clown Posse


I've said a lot of bad things about this band and their followers and it ain't gonna stop now.

I do understand that ICP tries to stand up for the little man, but their fans really don't help the situation by acting like a gang of scumbags. They're loud, ignorant, and loyal. This combination of elements makes for a very dangerous situation. The idea that these fans devote themselves to a group that walks around in face paint and raps about Faygo soda pop is some side-splitting s**t.

Again, what the f**k is a Juggalo and what purpose does he serve? I would give every drop of blood in my body to see a Juggalo try to rep ICP on the streets of East LA.

2. Phish



I'm gonna have to start out by saying that this band is one of the most overrated acts in the history of music. The fact that people follow this band all around the world so they can catch every single note Phish creates is simply unbelievable.

On of my biggest problems with their fans is the fact that they're mostly rich white kids from New England trying to grow dreadlocks and live the so-called "hippie lifestyle." Do me a favor and take a count of all the Range Rovers in the parking lot the next time you catch one of their shows. On second thought, skip the show.

The other thing that drives me insane is the way the fans act like Phish is the only important/relevant band on the planet. They are literally some of the most close-minded people when it comes to music. All they do is completely dedicate themselves to Phish and no one else. How many more times do you really need to listen to "Bounce Around the Room?" Answer: Zero.

They also act like they care about the well-being of the world, when all they really do is eat mushrooms, smoke weed, and drive around the U.S. following Phish. Way to start the revolution, f***ers.

1. Skrewdriver



If you don't know already, Skrewdriver was a British punk rock band formed in a town near Blackpool in 1976 by Ian Stuart Donaldson. They later changed into a skinhead band, and then became one of the first neo-Nazi white power rock bands, playing a big role in the far right Rock Against Communism movement. Dumbasses.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about these iceholes? F*** 'em.

As for their fans, I assume most of them are lost little puppy dogs trying to find their place in the world and, for some reason, decided to let this untalented band of Hitler lovers do the talking for them. How in the funk can you follow a band that denies the Holocaust? Grow a brain. If you need attention that bad, just grow a mullet.

It was at the Grand Opera House last night, which by the way is a great building, but i always forget how much ass Market street sucks.  Went there with friend, figured we'd get a bite to eat before the show.  Not one farging restaurant open, not even a quiznos.

Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Munson on September 04, 2009, 11:18:09 AM
Another reason why I hardly venture into the city. There's more to do in the northern burbs then there is in the city. Drive up Market street til it turns to Philly Pike, and you woulda ran into a shtein load of restaurants/bars/WaWas/etc.

The Riverfront and Trolley Square are the only places worth trying to find something to do in the city.


If I had known Taylor Swift was in the Grand Opera House I would have went to that concert. I'd farg the shtein out of that girl next door.

nah, she wasnt there last night, and i know wilmington better than you ever will, try driving on the eastside all day.  Its just disappointing that after all these years they still basically close that part of the city down at night because its still a shteinhole. 
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Munson on September 04, 2009, 11:30:59 AM
I'm sure you do, because as I said I stick mostly to the northern burbs unless I'm going to the bars at Trolley/Riverfront. I still don't get the logic in closing down The Big Kahuna and then 5 years later trying to turn the Riverfront into some sort of bar/social center.


And damn. She was playing with him some where, a friend of mine just put up pics of a concert of them two. She's not the best looking girl, but she's got that innocent look that makes me want to do terrible terrible things.

Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Seabiscuit36 on September 04, 2009, 11:39:04 AM
She's a hotty.  I used to know the owner of the Kahuna, he was losing money there and other places.  He was looking to sell it to other investors, but everyone backed out, and that was that.  Whats crazy is how much space they now have open in there, but the city didnt really push to get somehting else in there.  Theres some talk that Hooters would go in there, but the city gave the Kahuna all types of problems with noise violations, especially when they put the Condo's across the river. 
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Munson on September 04, 2009, 11:44:56 AM
Yeah, that's what I heard (I was still underage obviously) about the noise violations. The deck outside + the live bands = getting shut down.

They've put a couple smaller places in on the ground floors of the new condos they just built there, but they're not going to turn it into what they want it to be until they get a "fun" bar down there. Timothy's/Iron Hill aint cuttin it. Though I admittedly have never been to Timothy's.

Saw U2 tonight in Tampa.

Their performance was outstanding.  The setlist had songs from every era of the group and they even played The Unforgettable Fire which I haven't heard them play live in about 2 decades.  They had a strange satellite hookup/interview with the guy who created Cirque Du Soleil who is currently on board the ISS.   Weird and completely unnecessary but still interesting.   With Or Without You was amazing.  Bono can still frigging bring it.

The stage is grotesque and incredibly distracting, though.  Hated that part of it, but then again, I've hated almost every stadium show I've ever been to, so...

I have a ton of photos taken from all over the stadium, but mostly from my vantage point stage left to the rear.  Not bad seats but not great either.

Oh, and Tampa, Florida is officially the worst farging place on Earth.  The stadium is a total shteinhole and the only thing worse than the stadium are the douchebag corksuckers who live there.  I've literally been to probably 1,000 sporting events and concerts combined and I've never seen a more farged up place from top to bottom than Tampa.  Just horrible.  Took me 4 hours to get there (traffic horrors) but only 2 1/2 to get back home.  Yay.

Went and saw Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio in The Balcony Bar at the Troc last night in Philly. His solo stuff is folksy and acoustic mostly, but I still dig it. He's one of my favorite song writers, even for the amount of cheese he writes.


I forgot the Troc was in ChinaTown....smelled lovely out there.

PJ f'ing rocked again.  Ibanez and Eyre were backstage and there were a few LETS GO PHILLIES and F*** THE YANKEES chants between songs.  It was nice to visit the Spectrum one last time but it's time to go.  Too cramped...

Post by: Rome on October 31, 2009, 09:11:07 AM
When they knock down the Spectrum I'll be much sadder than when the Vet went kaboom.    I loved the Spectrum and everything about it.  The seats were great, Ovations was great back in the day, and the acoustics were fairly great considering it's little more than a tin can.  Plus it drew a more ferocious brand of fan than the Wach Center does.  There were times during the 70's that I thought the roof was gonna cave in again because it was so effing loud in that joint.

Anyway - glad P.J. was great, Ed.

How are people fans of Dave Matthews Band?  Seriously, I can't find one element of him, his music or his stage show that is the least bit enjoyable.  He's on Palladia right now strangling a cat and I had to mute the television because it was so horrendous.

Coheed and Cambria @ Hardware Bar in Scranton last night. Awesome. First time seeing them live and they put on a great show. I was about 15 ft from stage. Really small venue. I'll never get to see them that close again. Earl Greyhound opened for them and their equipment just wasn't the best and I don't think they had a sound guy cause the douche running their PA, was bad. Vocals were hard to pick up, and guitar. It was pretty good for what they were working with. Def would not go see another band there. Place was built for drinking and girls dancing on the bar, not shows.

MMrbq was unreal. We were row 2 behind the pit and dead center.  If I didn't know Layne Staley was dead I'd of thought that was him singing on stage, Alice In Chains lead singer sounds exactly like him...they were unreal.

The show last night was ridiculously good it was at the River Stage.  What a cool venue to see a concert way better than festival pier.  They played a lot of stuff from their new album and quite a bit of their older material.  The only song they didn't play that I wanted to hear was "Just Got to Be". 

For anybody that likes these guys and hasn't watched them live you are really missing out.

I saw Dead Weather monday night in Baltimore.  The venue felt like a movie theater.  I hated the crowd and their goddamn cell phone video cameras.  The whole thing felt like a PTA sponsored after prom party, a mass consumption of a commercial product.  I would have left straight away if I hadn't gone with a friend on free guest list tickets.   Dead Weather was very good, but it was like being a stranger in a strange land.

I go see a band, I expect people farging in the bathrooms, puking in the hallways, bleeding on stage, smoking anything they can wherever they want, and drunk drunk drunks everywhere.  Not that abortion of a yuppie sanctioned spectacle.

saw public enemy last night...was like a farging wet dream for a 30 year old rap kid like me.  just crazy energy. chuck d and flav look and sound exactly the same. they did fear of a black planet in its entirety...plus a bunch of other shtein...and they had a sick guitarist and drummer on stage the whole time. dj lord was good too. 

wasn't really expecting it to be as great as it was but it was one of the better live shows i've been to in a really long time.

Kid n Play are having a 20 yr reunion concert in some little desert town called Ridgecrest, which is about 45min north of me.  I won't be going but I find it somewhat tragic that they are reduced to playing such an awful venue. 

Even more tragic is that En Vogue is performing in another little shteinhole town named Palmdale. 

This place sucks.

public enemy has always been way more popular with whites than blacks...at least since rolling stone put nation of millions in their best albums of all time list...the white media adored pe which attracted white kids to them...plus the bomb squad with their many guitar samples and overall sonics made more head bang type rap than head nod...toss in an anthrax collabo and BOOM you got suburban whites lining up for nation of islam membership cards....white guilt be powerful shtein

because public enemy were media darlings with the white press they became sickeningly overrated....they have some classic stuff but overall they dont have an album or song that should be anywhere near raps all time best of anything

and xclan and ice cube did the pro black thing much better

cube's tune no vaseline is still the best diss track ever IMO.

cube by far was the best mc in the group...i mean he arguably the best ever

but ren in his prime was off the charts good and say what you want about eazy not writing his own rhymes all you want the fact is that he was a a very talented mc and had ridiculous personality on the mic

and lol at calling efil4zaggin shtein....not to mention rens solo stuff being very good

Wondering how much you got raped for the APC tickets. I am not even trying. Its pretty sad I can't afford to see bands like this anymore. I used to go see shows religiously during college and easily afford it with a shtein job. Now tickets are at least $35 to see even an up and coming band, then $15-$20 in taxes and fees. No thanks, I'll stick to indie bands and small venues.

It was at the Electric Factory last night and it was farging amazing.  I've seen a shteinload of concerts, but their show was by far the best i've seen.  They play at a level that CD's cant replicate.  DIO they had a band called Celebration out of Baltimore.  Really trippy shtein, lead singer seemed like she was a female Jim Morrison,  you might wanna give em a listen/show. 
Title: Re: Rock shows

Yeah, I know Celebration.  Not my thing really.  It is nice to see them doing well though.  There's a pretty good music and arts thing going on in Charm City.

My favorite Baltimore band right now is J.Roddy Walston and the Business (though they only moved to Baltimore from Tennessee something like six years ago).

APC was good...but not great. Outsider was unreal but it basically sounded like an amped up version of the song. They didn't play Judith or 3 Libras. I mean, they're REALLY known for a few songs and they don't bother playing those songs. Maynard sat in the back left hand corner of the stage the whole time and the band only revved it up a few times. Every time I've seen TOOL they've blown my farging mind. APC didn't come close.

Does it really surprise you that they (he) didn't give the audience what it wanted or paid for?

They played Imagine & People Are People (really?!) but not Judith.

PS: According to THIS LINK (http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/a-perfect-circle/2011/festival-pier-at-penns-landing-philadelphia-pa-bd34106.html) 3 Libras was the 11th song they played.

Not at all. And they definitely didn't play 3 Libras. Don't think they played 18 songs, more like 12 . The opening band was some Japanese punk rock band and they were awful.

I didn't pay for the tickets thankfully. But they were just underwhelming.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: SD on July 17, 2011, 10:37:49 AM
I looked on APC's facebook page and there are a ton of complaints about their set list. It's hilarious watching their fanboys stick up for them.

And I guess they did play 3 Libras but it was some crappy remix so it really wasn't 3 Libras, just the lyrics and some slop they threw over top of it.

Someone else mentioned they played too many Emotive songs. Glad I didn't end up going. I've seen them 3 or 4 times years ago and every concert was amazing. I understand bands have to make money, but going on tour without new songs is kind of lazy if you ask me. Give your fans something new.

Playing cover songs is one thing but refusing to play the most popular songs in the catalog is a sign that the band has little respect for its fans.

Doesn't surprise me because Maynard is a colossal dickhead. 
Title: Re: Rock shows

I also forgot to mention they only played for an hour and 15 minutes. Pretty lame. And it wasn't just the set list they played (which was mostly eMOTIVe which is by far their worst album) but there was just no energy in the crowd. The atmosphere was just very timid.

A lot of people who were bitching on their facebook page said "I wasted $60 on that zesty show" so I guess that's what they went for. I'm sure it was more if they got them off stubhub.

The second stage had Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Cypress Hill, Porno For Pyros, Rage Against The Machine, & Stone Temple Pilots.

Oh you bring back some memories Rome.  Saw Nirvana a week after they were on SNL at a little dive in Honolulu back in 1992.  There were probably 150 people in the venue.  Saw Alice in Chains a few months later at another small venue.  That crowd was out of control.  Ended the year with Pearl Jam.  That was an awesome concert.

iirc they didn't do any songs from Undertow when I saw them in 2006. I think it would be cool if they busted out some songs from Opiate.

Whatever.  I guess I'll listen to it on the way to the show.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: SD on January 21, 2012, 06:19:29 PM
Here was the set list from their 2006 show...a few variations but almost the same:
STINKFIST
THE POT
FORTY-SIX & 2
JAMBI
SCHISM
LOST KEYS / ROSETTA STONED
WINGS FOR MARIE / 10,000 DAYS
LATERALUS
ÆNEMA

I saw them 2 or 3 times prior to the show in 2006 but the 2006 show was easily the best show I ever saw in my life.

Taking the g/f to see Rain Tuesday night at the Mann Music Center in Center City. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them they're a Beatles cover band. They do a decade by decade theme (black suits/Sgt. Pepper/Hippie crap) then do an encore. Pretty much the best cover band in the world.

Oh yeah, and TOOL is tonight. Spiral out.

I saw them in Daytona 3 or 4 years ago.  They're quite excellent.  There's like 14 or something musicians doing different eras.  The Revolver/Rubber Soul era was the best.

I saw Tool 5 times in 2007 after 10k Days was released. Basically the same show, with minor changes to set list. I really have no need to go see them play the same stuff again. Seen them a dozen times. Until they release a new album they are not getting my money.

Going to see Dr. Dog March 25th at Electric Factory and Delta Spirit at Union Transfer March 30th.

There's only 3 things in life that I'd rank ahead of watching TOOL, more specifically watching them perform Lateralus:
Watching my daughter be born
Watching the Phillies win the World Series
Having sex with a really hot chick

Everything else pales in comparison. I'd watch the perform every night if it was possible.

They were incredible tonight. Really wanted to hear Hooker with a Penis live, they started off the show with it. Jambi live was holy shtein good. I'm not a big fan of Schism but live it's one of my favorite songs to hear. Danny Carey wore a Kansas Jayhawks basketball jersey during the show. Maynard had a mowhawk with glasses.

The bad:

They played every song on their set list except for The Pot.
They were anal as farg about taking photos. They warned us twice on the way in. My room mate took a shot of the stage 10 minutes before they came on and a security guard came up and told him he would be asked to leave if he did that again. Then during 46 and 2 when the laser lights really started going off there was some dick on the side of the stage who would point a laser at anyone with a cell phone, security would make their way over there then escort them out. Lame.
Like every show at SBC the bass was too much...it drowned the vocals.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Rome on January 30, 2012, 10:32:40 AM
As much as I love their music they really are pretentious fargheads.

Meh - you take the good with the bad and in their case their ridiculous behavior is worth tolerating.  I don't really pay attention to them anyway.  What's going on behind them and the noise they're making is what makes the show incredible.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: SD on January 30, 2012, 11:48:08 AM
What's ironic is half their tour is already on youtube so who gives a farg if I snap a photo? Regardless they were pretty amazing as usual and I was just happy to be in attendance...plus the ticket was free and we had VIP which entitled us to free sandwiches and shtein (still had to pay for beer). I've probably been to the SBC around 30 times but that was the first time for an indoor event.

I swear to god when they perform Lateralus my brain goes into convulsions. I don't know how people can handle drugs combined with their shows. That would be sensory overload.

Just got home.  Words can't do those fargers justice.

46 & 2 was the best performance of a rock song I've ever seen.  Totally blew me away.

The only minor annoyance was the gestapo security dickheads.  I can see asking people politely to keep their phones out of sight but these fagtards were just ridiculous.  You're getting 10 bucks an hour, guys.  Try acting like it.

Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Rome on February 08, 2012, 09:26:37 AM
I was in the second row to the side of the stage literally standing 5 feet away from a redshirt.  I pulled my phone out for a second just to check the time and he flashed his little penlight at me.  I told him I was just checking the time and to settle down.  I don't think they're used to someone my age talking to them like that, so he just said, oh, sorry about that... SIR.

I wasn't a jerk about it, though.  Just like respect your elder, son.

It wasn't that big a deal because of what was going on in front of me.

Also - did they bring Travis from Yob out to play with Danny during Lateralus?  I thought it was cool and all but it kinda interrupted the performance.  I think the Yob bassist played with/for Justin and after the song ended he walked over to shake Keenan's hand and Keenan says, "who the f*** is this?"  Danny immediately jumped up and explained who he was.  His reaction was hilarious.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: SD on February 08, 2012, 12:19:06 PM
No TOOL played all of their songs. And the guy was only shining a pen light? They were shining the full fledged lasers that go off during the show at people holding up their cell phones. The whole thing is a joke.

How was that YOB band? A girl i know saw them in Virginia Friday and she said they played a heavy dose of Opiate, Undertow and Aenima. Unreal since they usually stick to their typical set list.

If they had played Sober instead of Parabola and the security dicks weren't so annoying it would have been the best show I've ever seen.   46 & 2 was incredibe.

99/100 rating overall.

Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Rome on February 09, 2012, 06:25:54 PM
They swapped Ticks & Leeches, Parabola & Sober in and out of the set.  I was keeping an eye on the setlists and they'd go 3 or 4 shows between switches.  I just missed out as they played Sober in Lauderdale the night before and then they went back to it on the final night in Atlanta.

I mean, it's okay and all.  Parabola is a great song.  Of course, I'd rather hear Vicarious than Intension (good time to take a piss) but you take what you get.

Hooker With A Penis is a freaking awesome song to open the show with, btw.  I was shocked how many people knew the words to the song around me.

been around for maybe 2 months or so...pretty much had A list concerts right off the bat then I realized it's owned by LiveNation the PR/whatever company that sets up a lot of shows these days. i guess it's good because it keeps overhead down and you get to bypass ticketmaster. i have not been there yet though.

I'm def going, unfortunately I can't afford to buy the tickets right this moment so I'm gonna miss the early bird price.

Dio, they're doing it in one of the big fields/wooded areas near Dover Downs that they usually use for campsites/parking for the NASCAR races I'm pretty sure. They've got a map/pictures of the place on the website link.

Axl Rose is such a twat. Slash was a god and made GNR what it was. Of course now he's a washed up former junky who plays halftime of the superbowl so farg him, but Axl Rose was never farging anything without Slash.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: SD on June 02, 2012, 10:23:57 AM
Slash was farging incredible at the MMRbq, they played a ton of GNR songs. Their lead singer is better than Axl. farg Axl, his act is getting tired. You don't make fans who paid good money to see you perform wait 3 hours...that's about the biggest dick move there is.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: rjs246 on June 02, 2012, 10:29:40 AM
I'm sure Slash is still a fantastic guitarist, but as soon as you share a stage with (whatever other pop douches were playing the halftime show) you can't call yourself rock and roll any more. Has been.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on June 02, 2012, 11:25:55 AM
Slash is still a fantastic guitarist, and a bright dude.  I like him.

Duff and Izzy had a lot to do with why the og GnR was one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.  Duff especially.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: rjs246 on June 02, 2012, 12:57:27 PM
Let's not pretend like Izzy Stradlin made GNR what it was. He was a rhythm guitarist for farg's sake. He was fine and probably better than most but come on now.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on June 02, 2012, 02:05:36 PM
Lets not put words in my mouth.

The band was more than Slash and the diva in front. 

Without Duff and Izzy, it wouldn't have been great.  Especially without Duff.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: ice grillin you on June 02, 2012, 11:43:14 PM
im no vocal coach but axel rose was a pretty phenominal singer and im not sure the group would have existed without him.....certainly nowhere near the level they did with him on board....they are la guns or winger without him....thats not to say he isnt a colassal dickhead...but lets keep shtein in perspective here and not let our emotions get the best of us
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Diomedes on June 03, 2012, 09:22:01 AM
No one is saying the band could have been great without Axl howling and writhing out front. 

Rusty is saying the band was Axl and Slash, plus some bums.  I am saying the band was more than just those two; that Duff and Izzy played a greater role than they are often given credit for, especially Duff, whose bass stylings gave the music more bottom than anything Winger, LA Guns or any other popular rock band of the time was producing.  GnR were filthy and dangerous by comparison to the fluffer bands around them; Duff's bass was crucial to that sound.

You should go back to waxing on about forgotten rappers and your modern day Guthrie wannabe Springsteen.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: rjs246 on June 03, 2012, 11:34:58 AM
IGY was partially right in that I was elevating Slash above Axl. GNR isn't GNR without either of them.

Duff, well yes, he was a damned good bassist and rounded out their sound perfectly. I wasn't totally discounting his contribution just pointing out the obvious fact that he was third fiddle by a country mile. Slash and Axl were GNR and would have been superstars together regardless of the rest of the lineup.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: ice grillin you on June 03, 2012, 12:04:41 PM
i admittedly dont know enough about the other members to say how good they are but i do know axl was a ridiculously good front man and i think its nuts to lesen his contribution to the band

btw who wrote their music?
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: rjs246 on June 03, 2012, 12:17:51 PM
Axl, Duff, Izzy and Slash all wrote their songs.

For a rhythm guitarist, Izzy wrote a surprising amount of their stuff.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: rjs246 on June 03, 2012, 12:22:38 PM
So to summarize:

Axl is a twat, but yes a great front man.
Slash was a god but is now a washed up sellout douche.
Duff was a good bassist, but still just a bassist so no one cares.
Izzy wrote some of their stuff but no one cares about rhythm guitar.

I was never a fan of the Killers [I am now] but they put on one hell of a show. The Black Keys were incredible too. The festival coordinators did a great job with the bands, traffic, amount of port o potties etc.

My only complaint were the amount of hipster douchebags at the event. They're easy enough to spot considering they all wear one of these retarded head bandanas:

A friend of mine that went to bonaroo pointed out that it wasn't the normal festival crowd (hippies) and that they'd be smart to add a few jam bands just to turn off some of the hipster douche bags and attract the usual crowd that these festivals attract.

But yeah there definitely were a lot of dudebro's there. Not that I wasn't dressed like one at least half the time.

The Killers show was awesome. I always considered myself a mild fan of theirs, but they played every song from them I wanted to hear plus a few others that I hadn't heard before and liked. The new CD sounds like it's gonna be good. The single seems a bit more rock n roll than their usual stuff

I'm down with this idea. Aside from the Black Keys who were worth the price of admission and AWOLnation yesterdays lineup blew. Some douchey bandana wearing hipster was trying to convince me that Death Cab for a Cutie is a good band it's just their lead singer was sick. They were horrible and his voice sounded fine.

Pre-med? I must have missed something.

Diffusion is the movement of matter from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solution (liquid) through a semi-permeable membrane.

I was hopeful they'd get The Foo this year, as they do a lot of festivals and Dave Grohl frequents the Delaware beaches....but then they went on hiatus or whatever. Hopefully they pull a every band ever and still get together to play a few festivals or other single shows during the year.

It was an impressive lineup for a first year festival, so I've got high hopes for year 2. Hopefully they can add some other entertainment as well ala Bonnaroo, get a few comics, maybe a late night show here or there, etc.

Saw Chevy Metal Sunday night at a fund raiser for a local foundation.  Chevy Metal is a 70s dirt rock cover band who play deep cuts off albums by Sabbath, Van Halen, AC/DC and The Stones, to name a few. They are comprised of Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins (drums/vocals) and Chris Shiflett (guitar) along with wiley Hodgden (bass/vocals).  Awesome.  Small venue so it was a great environment.  Only negative was it was Sunday night so that part sucked.  Didn't get home until after midnight.  We had VIP seating so the alcohol was all inclusive and flowing.  Monday AM was not fun.

shtein, I'm in one of those!  My friend runs the foundation here.  We had so much fun.  The riveting conversations with some of these surfers on tour were priceless.

he was terrible, and im actually a pretty big fan of his music. it didnt fit - to go from the teary eyed salutes to the first responders, etc with the who, stones and bruce to kanye spitting on the stage, dropping the nbomb and talking about all the douchebags made me question who put the thing together.

other than that, the lineup was incredible - kudos to whoever decided to let it air on tv.

claptons acoustic version of "nobody knows you when youre down and out" was amazing.

yeah, i'm a big kanye fan but that was horrible

Firefly will announce their lineup on Tuesday. They put a bunch of hints up on their website. Supposedly the Lumineers and Black Keys are part of their lineup. I'd like to see TOOL but that's not really their scene. Drummer Danny Carey said their new album will be out this year then Maynard said no new album...meaning there should be a new album this year. One of the songs is 20 minutes long. They're touring in Australia in April and May and Firefly isn't until the end of July.

In other news MMRBQ headliners are Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.

I was never into RHCP. They were always one of those bands who's songs would come on the radio and I wouldn't change the station but was never really into either. I'll still go to their set though as at least it'll be a lot of songs I know the words to and one or two that I do like.

I assume that Vampire Weekend and Foster the People are sharing Headlining duties for the 3rd day.

Once you get past those first few acts though, there's not nearly as many acts that I want to see as last year. They really went all out with the indie hipster type shtein this year.

It's not the headliners I mind (though I definitely preferred The Killers), it's the secondary acts this year. Last year I wanted to see Modest Mouse, Ok Go, John Legend, The Wallflowers, Silversun Pickups, The Flaming Lips, Cake. This year those slots are filled with a lot of radio indie junk.

Last year was a better lineup no doubt, but Public Enemy and RHCP sell me on this show. I figured the Lumineers would be a headliner because they're really popular right now. Not really into Vampire Weekend but Foster the People have a couple of decent song.

The shocker to me is they don't have a lot of repeat bands. Imagine Dragons is decent but I figured the Silver Sun Pickups, Cake, and The Black Keys would be back. There's always a chance some bands get added late because SSP were added a month or so before the show.

A few people I know are saying there's rumors that a 3rd headliner will be announced later. Interesting.

I just don't like how, outside of RHCP, it seemed to ignore any and all rock music made between 1995 and 2008, after last year's pretty diverse line up.

I too would have loved to have seen Silversun or Cake again this year...even though Cake's commentary in between songs got a little weird at times haha

I wonder if they'll get some sort of shuttle service going this year. You would think it would be a good idea for them to do. Though I guess they want as many people camping as possible.

I think my friends are planning on camping again. Apparently one of them is going to buy two camp sites. Sounds good to me. The increased prices are disappointing, but I guess with more bands it makes sense. Will be interesting to see if they've expanded on any of the merch and food and games this year.

They released something a few months ago saying they are increasing the food choices. Dogfish is the sponsor again which I'm happy with. They're having shows last till 2AM this year. I'm happy about that because people will stick around just to stick around meaning everyone isn't going to herd their way out like last year.

Next time you're in Philly, turn on 104.5 on the radio. ANytime they don't play something that's pop punk or alt rock, it'll be stuff like this

Pretty much anything that sounds like it could have fit on the Juno soundtrack. To be fair, I don't lump Imagine Dragons in with that sound usually because they're not really following the soft vocals format. But the musical style is similar.

I like the Lumineers, not my cup of tea as far as music goes but they have a couple of decent songs. I hate the rest of the EMO crap that's played. I'm already doing my homework to map out which bands I want to see.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Munson on February 20, 2013, 09:55:00 PM
I guess a lot of the music I like could be considered "emo" because of the lyrical content, but I've lost track of what is even defined as emo anymore. I know I never got into the bands that had the nasally singers (New Found Glory for example). Dashboard Confessional was probably the stereotypical "emo" band from the early 00's, they were usually too soft musically for me. I've always been more into bands like Brand New or Alkaline Trio. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't usually like at least one or two songs from a lot of bands from that era. I just usually gravitated to the bands who's vocalists didn't fit the typical mold for the genre, guys with unique voices, bands with dual vocals, etc. All this stuff that's on the radio today just sounds too similar to me, usually soft vocals, and an almost electric pop sound mixed with acoustic guitars or other similar instruments. I guess I'm getting old.

Teen angsty music was at its popularity peak during my early-mid teen years, so that probably explains 95% of my musical taste. But at least some of it had some teeth to it.

Yeah I came here to post that earlier and completely forgot to.

Seems like a lot more overlap this year, but I guess that makes sense with the increased amount of bands. I like seeing that they're having some later acts as well.

I really am not a huge fan of this line up so I'm definitely gonna be floating between stages. Will definitely be at the Lawn for MGMT and the backyard for Public Enemy.

It seems like there's going to be more to do overall this year too, more places to just chill out and whatever. Definitely excited about that.

Next to TOOL they're probably my favorite band to see live.

Really cool moment at the MMRBQ. A Soundgarden fan named Kyle held up a sign in the front row saying "Please let me play drums or guitar for any Soundgarden song"...so Chris Cornell pulled him onstage to play "Fell on Black Days". Kyle nailed it

Their show at Firefly >>>>>>>>>> Their show at the SBC

They were amazing at the SBC but the setlist wasn't as good, they played too many slow songs in the beginning, show really didn't pick up until later. There wasn't the same energy as there was at Firefly. It was more of an intimate setting with a great light show to compliment their music.

Really cool moment at the MMRBQ. A Soundgarden fan named Kyle held up a sign in the front row saying "Please let me play drums or guitar for any Soundgarden song"...so Chris Cornell pulled him onstage to play "Fell on Black Days". Kyle nailed it

yo muns did you go to Firefly? I'm done. I was a sloppy mess. I still feel like shtein. Unless TOOL plays next year I won't be making the trip back.

The crowd grew from 30k to 60-80k but they didn't double stuff like port-o-potties/vendors etc. The ATMs were out of cash by Saturday. We waited in line Friday for a half hour to park, only to be told we were in the camping line. We then butted ahead of a bunch of people to park so that we could see Public Enemy. PE was damn good. The Chili Peppers were incredible but Tom Petty was my favorite act. Thought the secondary acts were lacking big time. Last year I found 3-4 new bands to listen too, this year I found none. Didn't even stick around for Foster the People.
Heineken is crap. I wish they would have stuck with Bud. I had a blast at the brewery, the founder and owner of Dogfish was there serving drinks. Chatted with him for a bit, really cool guy. The people there were a  lot more chill.

The douchebag factor went up ten fold.

Pre-sale tickets went up $50 too, meaning they're going to charge $300 +  for 3 day passes next year.

I made the awesome discovery that they had real bathooms from the racetrack open for the public at The Hub, so I did my shteinting up there. And I thought the food at the Hub was pretty good this year, though New York Pizza didn't come back which was disappointing.

It definitely wasn't as fun as last year, though for me it was more about the lineup being not as good. I could deal with the increase in people, I didn't mind that too much. But the bands just weren't as good, especially the secondary offerings as you said. Last year there were like 4-5 bands that weren't headliners that I wanted to see, this year it was pretty much only Public Enemy and MGMT. And MGMT ended up being hugely disappointing, they didn't even play "Kids". I was gonna buy presale tickets but I'm holding off to see the line up. The higher price will be worth paying if I like the line up.

Public Enemy was a shteinton of fun. Must admit I felt a little awkward holding up my fist lol. I was wiped out by the end of the night for RHCP and Petty but I had fun just sitting on a blanket groovin. I actually liked Foster the People's set...their songs were much better live than the radio versions I've heard. They turned Pumped Up Kicks into an actual rock song, it was pretty solid.

I made it over to the brewery twice but unfortunately didn't notice Sam there, because I would have loved to talk to him. I liked the selection they brought this year a little better than last. Maybe I'm just making it up but I thought there were 2 or three different beers this year from last.

I actually spent a lot of time in the arcade this year. They had a SuperChexx table top bubble hockey game, one of my childhood favorites, so me and my buddy probably played for a solid hour on that. My friends did the silent disco's and said they were a lot of fun. They give you the choice between headphones playing electronic crap, or headphones that play hip hop, so that's good to know if I wanna go next year. And on Sunday Elijah Wood apparently showed up and DJ'd the silent disco in the fairgrounds.

They're definitely gonna have to make the overall space bigger and add more food and shtein next year. They were surprisingly prepared last year for 30K people, and surprisingly under-prepared this year for the huge increase.

Firefly lineup is coming out this week. They did a bunch of clues and whatnot again. Last year there was all this speculation and none of the bands guessed actually played. What's even funnier is the idiots guessing are guessing the same bands (Foo Fighters/Cage the Elephant etc.) as last year. It  was lame as farg the Lunineers and Imagine Dragonz cancelled. Unless the lineup is unreal or TOOL is playing I'm out this year. Probably gonna do a Phil's road trip instead.

The first year had a great mixture of headliners and smaller acts I wanted to see...last year had virutally nothing I wanted to see...this one has farging awesome headliners that I want to see, and one or two smaller acts. Seeing Outkast/Foo Fighters alone is enough to get me to go this year, adding Weezer to that clinched it for me.

I definitely figured Foo Fighters would do last year or this year because Grohl vacations down at the Delaware beaches.

A lot of those bands are from "my" generation. You would probably label a lot of it emo/whiney/pop punk, but that's what was popular on modern rock radio when I was growing up and I loved it. Taking Back Sunday is one of my favorite bands, but their lead singer's voice is really hit or miss, especially live. They've got 6 albums out and I love 1-3, and 6, which is probably where most of the songs they play will be from. Albums 2 and 3 had a different guitarist/2nd vocalist, but you'd probably recognize those songs most since they had a couple big radio hits off of those in 2004-2007.

Dashboard Confessional is super "emo", you probably wouldn't be into it (If you remember the song "Vindicated" from the original Spiderman soundtrack, that's them). Dude's got some range in his vocals though.

New Found Glory, Tegan and Sara, The Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack, Senses Fail, 7 Seconds, and The Used are all some version of pop-punk/emo/alt rock bands that I've enjoyed in the past/still enjoy somewhat. Circa Survive falls into that same sound, but his voice is ridiculously high pitched and awful sounding to me.

Geeze, the more I go down the list the more names I see that I recognize. Streetlight Manifesto is ska I'm pretty sure. The Descendents are pretty good, but I never good get really into them. Same with City & Color. Naked Raygun and the Buzzcocks are some of the original pop punk bands. Citizen, La Dispute, and Modern Baseball are all more recent punk/hardcore/posthardcore/whatever you want to call them bands that I have only heard of through my students. But it'll be half singing, half screaming type music.

Hopefully one of those ????? spots gets filled with Brand New, they're doing the other two Riot Fest dates and are from the same Long Island scene that Taking Back Sunday is from. They've got 4 albums, all 4 pretty different from each other.

Caught Alice in Chains at Revel last Friday. Incredible as always, the accoustics at Ovation Hall are spectacular. Jerry Cantrell kept breaking into Zeppelin songs, which got the crowd pumped. Definitely one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen.

MMRBQ was pretty meh. Caught a little bit of Fuel...meh...Dropkick Murphys were good, thought they'd be better. The Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin experience was pretty cool. Caught half of Volbeat...who were actually half decent, then bounced before Rob Zombie came on at 11.

Saw Brand New at The Mann Center in Philly last night. 2nd time I've seen them, last time was back in 2007.

Never been to The Mann before, it was pretty cool. They were on the outdoor stage and it was a nice night.

One of the opening acts, Dinosaur Pile-Up, is a trio from Britain. Reminded me a lot of early 90's alt-rock/grunge. And now I look on their wiki page and they list Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and Weezer among others as some of their influences. Some people here might be into them.

Brand New is goddamn awesome, but don't really think it's anyone here's cup of tea. All 4 of their albums sound completely different though so who knows.

Post by: Munson on September 09, 2014, 04:08:10 PM
I'd murder pretty much every one if you iceholes to get to any of the Riot Fests going on.

THawk, no idea what music you like, but on Saturday I assume you'll be seeing the Wu when they're on. If for some reason you're not, I'd pick Dashboard over The Get Up Kids personally but that's because I went through my teen years with Dashboard. Get Up Kids are a little less whiney vocally, but still pop punk.

Unless you're a fan of The National, check out Taking Back Sunday. They were the free show at Xfinity Live! last Thursday for the Eagles party that I wanted to go. The singer's voice is shredded after smoking for years, but they're still pretty energetic. The National is a band everyone tells me I should love but I haven't really been able to get into them.

Earlier in the day, I'd probably pick seeinn Say Anything, but the Bosstones and Me First and the Gimmie Gimmie's are close seconds.

On Sunday, early in the day...everyone tells me I should get into Bouncing Souls and The Front Bottoms. Bouncing Souls have obviously been around for a while, Front Bottoms are newer. Naked Raygun is up against Motion City Soundtrack...if you're not a Raygun fan, check them out, another decent pop punk outfit. La Dispute is the other band on at that time, I know some of my students listen to them but that's it.

Tegan and Sara are up against Mineral...if you were into the first wave of 'emo' in the 90's, go see Mineral. Tegan and Sara are good though. They'll probably play more of their newer stuff which is more on the dance-pop/indy side of things. Their older stuff is more indy/3rd wave emo. I enjoyed their show at Firefly.

I would choose New Found Glory over Cheap Trick and Social Distortion, but, that's me. I'd have no idea what the farg to do between The Cure and Weezer....I'd probably choose The Cure since I've never seen them and just saw Weezer, but Weezer's set is probably gonna be exactly what you think it'll be. Every big song they've ever had and one or two of the other songs popular with their fan base (like El Scorcho). Bring Me The Horizon is some sort of metalcore/scremo type band, can't see choosing them over either The Cure or Weezer. But, maybe you're into that.

i'm currently living in Austin...been to ACL the last 3 days and have seen some good shtein. Outkast friday night, Eminem yesterday, Pearl Jam tonight. all 3 were really good.  my first PJ show and they did not disappoint.

somehow got sucked into iggy azalea show yesterday and i think she's a complete joke but it was farging fun.

also, band i've been following for like a year now, best new current shtein is a band called chromeo. they killed it again today.

Mmrbq

Halestorm was good, hung out with them back stage for a bit. Really cool peops. Lzzy Hale is hot as shtein.

Breaking Benjamin...wasn't real familiar with their music but recognized their popular songs. They weren't bad at all. Towards the end of their set they said "this ones for the Empire"...went into March of the Imperials from Star Wars then into Schism from TOOL then into Smells like Teen Spirit from Nirvana and finished it off with Walk by Pantera...incredible montage

Saw STP with Weiland at the mmrbq in 2010 and they were great...now they have Chester Bennington who is Linkin Parks lead singer as their front man. I can honestly say it was the worst show I've ever seen. Just farging dreadful. Some bands like Alice in Chains don't miss a beat going from Staley to Duvall. Not the case here.

Last Sunday I hit up Zappa Plays Zappa at Rams Head Live. Good show. Dweezil's current tour included a complete rendition of Frank's album, One Size Fits All. Damned good music, performed with love and care by Dweezil and band.

Thursday was the Dear Jerry freak fest at Merriweather. A ridiculous number of artists - including former Dead members - jammed into 4 hours. It could have been 6 hours easily, as a couple of bands got bumped when they ran out of time. Regardless, it was an experience of a lifetime.

I know quite a few people who agree with SD's assessment of STP with that screeching douchebag from Linkin Park.   What a total farging disgrace.

I love the comments I've read from the band members, though.  Oh, things are soooooo much better without Scott Weiland.  Chester is such a better singer.  Blah, blah, blah.  Give me a break.

Weiland's a train wreck of a person so I get moving on from him...I mean just watch this from a few weeks ago, they said he wasn't on drugs that he was just tired

http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2015/04/30/stone-temple-pilots-scott-weiland-gasoline-video

But his vocals are incredible, he has a perfect amount of bass in his voice for his genre of music. Bennington just doesn't work on any level. I actually sat for the last portion of their show. Couldn't wait for them to finish.
Title: Re: Rock shows
Post by: Rome on May 17, 2015, 09:57:56 AM
The first time I saw STP was at a free show here in Daytona during MTV spring break back in the early 90's.  Yeah, they were a Pearl Jam/Nirvana ripoff and their music was about as middle of the road as it got for "alternative," but Scott Weiland just lit up the stage, even as farged up as he was back then.   He made that band just as David Lee Roth made Van Halen and Ozzy Osborne made Black Sabbath.  You can slot other guys in the lead singer spot but that doesn't make them adequate replacements.  It's a one in a million thing when the replacement guys exceed the original.

Firefly was pretty fun this year. The rain created a lot of mud which sucked, but in terms of logistics I think it was overall their best set up so far.

Paul McCartney was awesome. Morrissey was also pretty good. Pretty cool to see those two before either of them bite the dust.

Sublime w/Rome got interrupted during their set by the storms that came through, so unfortunately never got to hear Santeria or What I Got. But they played a lot of their other more well known stuff.

The Killers were fantastic again. Only complaint with their setlist is the two songs they played off their most recent album might have been two of my least favorite on what was otherwise a strong album IMO.

Andrew McMahon puts on one of the best live shows I've seen for a guy that spends 75% of the show at his piano.

Unfortunately not, that's the other real big one they didn't get to. We got pretty much everything else you would think though...Doin Time, 40oz To Freedom, Wrong Way, Smoke Two Joints, etc.

This is more of a random musing than a rock show thing, but I thought of it here, so farg it.

So, you guys know my kid plays guitar and stuff. Here's the thing that I just find baffling (and I would if it was any kid). He was hired by a local town to play a different restaurant every Friday. And now every Saturday he gets paid to play at a Kilwins. So, he plays between 2-3 hours on those nights. Makes a couple of bucks to show up, and then makes tips.

I figured he'd make some pocket money. The little farger is cleaning up. Over the past two weekends alone, "working" roughly 8 hours, he made over $1000 cash. More than $5000 cash just this summer so far. Just completely ridiculous, batshtein crazy to me. My wife brings so many singles to the bank I'm sure they think she's some sort of magical stripper. It's insane to me.

I keep telling the kid that it'll be a rude awakening when he has to get a real job. You know, when people don't throw money at you and tell you you're wonderful for doing something you'd do for free.

But, hey, good work if you can get it I guess. I think I'm jealous.

Oh, absolutely. For his age, he's pretty good. And when he plays harmonica while he plays people can't throw money out fast enough. But I told him, listen...don't get used to this. You'll have get better twice as fast as you get inevitably less cute, so don't get a big head. He's down to earth about it, though. His friends come out and he has a great time.

That's fantastic! Just think about it - he will probably keep cleaning up for a couple years so he can buy a car when its time for that thus saving you money. Hell he may get so good at the guitar and music that he won't have to get a real gig.

I have a friend who was in jazz band with me who took the music route in college and then just finished up his masters in music theory. He's never had a "real job" and has always played gigs. He just moved to NYC to play sax in some shows off broadway and with some bands.

lol at your wife taking the ones to the bank. Anytime anyone has a stack of singles people assume it is for/from a strip joint. So I am sure the tellers probably whisper about it when she leaves.

I watch the videos you post on FB of his gigs and he's got some real skills. Good for him!

I figured this was a scam but I have like 30 pairs of free ticket vouchers available to me.


QuoteSchlesinger v. Ticketmaster Settlement Information Site
UPDATE JUNE 21 1:35 AM EDT In 2003, the Schlesinger v. Ticketmaster class action lawsuit was filed alleging that Ticketmaster failed to fully disclose to consumers all aspects of its UPS and Order Processing Fees. While vigorously defending the lawsuit, Ticketmaster settled the case in 2013, with the court granting final approval of the settlement in February 2015.

The settlement class includes all consumers who transacted on Ticketmaster.com from 1999-2013.

As part of the settlement,

Ticketmaster agreed to provide all members of the class a $2.25 credit on the future purchase of primary tickets for each transaction over the class period, for up to 17 claims.
In addition, a $5 UPS voucher was made available to members of the class who had used UPS delivery during the class period, again to a maximum of 17 claims.
Also Ticketmaster agreed to provide $5 million in ticket vouchers for select Live Nation concerts through May 2017, subject to availability and a cap of 17 claims per account. Given the tremendous initial interest for these tickets, Ticketmaster will increase to $10 million its allotment of tickets made available through May 2017. The potential for additional tickets will be based on the redemption rates of the discount and UPS vouchers.
This website displays the list of eligible events for which the settlement ticket vouchers may be used. Please note that the list of eligible events will be periodically updated.

How to redeem your ticket voucher for General Admission Seating:

Once ticket codes are made available to you in your Ticketmaster account (https://www.ticketmaster.com/member/vouchers), you may attempt to use the codes for redemption on this website. The ticket codes are available on a first come, first serve basis. 
Select an event from the list of eligible events displayed on this website and proceed through the purchase process. Note that codes are ticket vouchers are only valid for General Admission seating. 
On the Billing Page, during your transaction, look for a "Voucher Code" link and enter your code to receive your discount(s).
For a list of guidelines regarding using your settlement ticket vouchers, please visit the official Settlement Website, http://www.ticketfeelitigation.com/faq#Q18.

Went to Firefly again this year.

Blink182 were awesome and had by far the biggest non-headliner crowd. Ludacris got moved from Friday night to sunday at 12:30, and the idiot event organizers didn't open the gates early on Sunday, so I didn't get to see him. Florence+the machine were good, Kings of Leon and Mumford were okay. Death Cab was pretty good too. Earth, Wind & Fire were a looot of fun, crowd was dancing the whole time, even the younger kids.

The festival has come a long way since year 1. A much bigger crowd but for the most part a much smoother operation, minus the Ludacris fiasco. I was in an RV this year, so much better than camping.

a guy i do work with is apparently g-love's cousin so he had him come into town yesterday to play a private party for a bunch of us on a rooftop overlooking the mall, dude killed it. had a drink with him beforehand and asked him to play the sixers song and he eventually did and that turned into a bunch of shtein talking dc sports. was a fun time.

he also showed up with like a pound of weed and one of our marketing girls had to carry it to his green room. she was so nervous.

My buddy opened a new bar here in town a couple of weeks ago.  His concept is for an 80's/90's alternative bar with emphasis on bands like New Order, Depeche Mode and R.E.M. but also occasionally harder stuff like Nine Inch Nails. 

Anyway, it's been a rousing success so far.  I went there on Friday night which was technically his hard opening and he had a double bill of tribute Nirvana & Stone Temple Pilots bands.  The STP act was pretty good.  A little silly but pretty representative of them.  The guitarist was terrific but the lead guy was a bit of a tool.  Kinda like STP, actually. 

The Nirvana band was amazing, though.  As you might imagine they all looked the part but the singer was a dead on ringer for Cobain.  I took a video of them doing Come As You Are and it's uncanny how much they looked and sounded like the real deal.  The only minor annoyance was "Cobain" played guitar right-handed.  LOL  Seriously, though... I haven't had that much fun at a show in a long time. 

In case any of you mongrels come into town, it's called ROK Bar and my buddy's name is Chris.

Got last minute tickets to the unity show in Charlottesville. The show was predictably great.

The Roots played with Brittany Howard (from Alabama Shakes) and Farrell both of which were phenomenal. Didn't stay for DMB because hahahaha no, but missed the Stevie Wonder appearance. Justin Timberlake was dreamy. Ariana Grande was irritating. Cage the Elephant was really good when they weren't talking. Some country dude was there too.

It was a blast but they didn't serve beer so F THEM.

Forgot about this thread. Sounds like a solid festival. Out on Ariana...something about her is awful. Or maybe it's everything.

I found out my kid is going to play a gig with Steve Miller in the next couple of months. Granted Steve Miller is a billion years old at this point, but from his deathbed the last request my dad ever had for my son was to learn a Steve Miller song. If he knew he'd be playing with him a few years later, he'd have died. Hey, maybe he knew? Kidding aside, pretty cool coincidence.

Saw Steve Winwood last night...that guy has an AMAZING history. It was the greatest hits live tour and his stuff just goes back forever. The guy sounds great, and while I primarily think of him playing the Hammond, he's a pretty incredible guitar player. More than that, he's a super nice guy. His manager reached out and asked us to bring my son back to talk to him after the show. He spent a good amount of time with the kid talking about all kinds of music stuff. Really incredibly generous.

My dad loved this guy. Actually, Steve Winwood and Steve Miller were two of his favorite artists of all time. It's a shame that he passed away before he could see things like this. He'd be over the moon with Jake being brought back to hang out with Winwood, and the kid is supposed to play a gig with Steve Miller soon. I think my dad would have shtein himself. Then again, he'd be pretty old by now, so he might have just shtein himself anyway.

mmrbq was Saturday. Always hang out in the VIP area, free beer and food and whatnot. The local celebs are there. Line up was a bunch of bands, STP, Ghost, and Alice in Chains were the headliners. First time ever got a hook up to go back stage. I thought the bands would be hanging out in a room drinking beers like Alice Cooper in Wayne's World. But it was commotion. STP was getting ready to go on, no idea who Ghost is but there was a group in an area that looked like rock stars so I'm assuming it was them. Went to the area where AIC was, William Duvall was chatting with a few people, Jerry Cantrell popped out for about 30 seconds. Bunch of people were messing with wires, lighting, moving shtein around. Needless to say being back stage isn't all it's cracked up to be.

STP was better with the new guy than they were with Chester Bennington (not a high bar to hurdle) but still fell way short of when Scott Weiland was alive. Been an Alice in Chains fan since high school. Layne Staley was the man but they couldn't have picked a better front man than William Duvall. 7th time seeing them, they were unreal, one of the top 5 live bands I've ever seen.

Went with the lady to see Phil Collins tonight in Fort Lauderdale.  He was fantastic.   The arena is the worst place I've ever been in my life in terms of setup, acoustics, etc and the people who work there are absolute iceholes. 

It's like every old retired Kenzo douchebag moved south and got a part time gig there. 

Show: A+.  His voice was great and his band is probably the tightest in the biz.   Poor guy is a broken down old mofo, though.  Literally stood up for only 1 song.

NIN was amazing. i've seen them more than any other act, at least 20 times live, and they get better every time. the best live act there is in my opinion.  new venue that recently opened up in DC was perfect spot, holds about 4000 so still kind of intimate vibe and the light show was good as usual. good mix of 75% old school hits and 25% stuff from the last 10 years.

went two nights in a row actually, pre-gamed and smoked a blunt outside before the first night, second night went sober. first night was better.

The Keys unofficially broke up for four years.  They called it a break but not playing or touring or really speaking to each other isn't a sabbatical.

They were really good, though.  They do limited tour posters for each city and I bagged an Orlando one.

I've said this before but seeing shows in Orlando is the strangest experience.  The vibe almost always sucks because there's no real community there.  It's just a bunch of people from everywhere else.  Seeing Springsteen in Philly vs Orlando is the best example.  Bruce is Bruce but the crowd barely sings along here.  Weird energy.

The only thing worse than a crowd of fans singing along is when they start clapping in time like a gang of hypnotized seals.

I didn't come to the concert to listen to you sing State Trooper, old fat dudes around me, I came to hear Bruce sing it.

You'll hear me signing and you'll like it, Mister.

Also - I forgot to mention I saw Vampire Weekend with my daughter a while back (her favorite band whom I also like).  They were excellent. 

They asked an audience member if he could play "A-Punk" on the guitar and he said yes, so they invited him up.  I'm not crazy about stunts like that, but it turns out the kid shredded the lead.  Cool as hell.  Reminded me of Greg's boy ripping on Petty's gig.

Is there a show you'd pay to see?  I'll always see Pearl Jam no questions asked. 

I'm going to see RATM in Phoenix next year.  That's a certainty.  I don't care what it costs. 

I'd pay to see Oasis if they ever re-form.

fans at Bruce shows don't sing along to state trooper they go to the bathroom

his two acoustic tours were legendary....so farging spine tingling especially if you are not into the crowd participation thing

Not many any longer, no.  Used to be you'd go to a club and it wasn't a PTA sanctioned social at a movie-theatreesque venue pushing Heineken from six bars.  There was blood and smoke and someone was getting pregnant.  Now, it's parents in 42W/30L dockers leading a phone-mesmerized teenager around under the well-designed lighting. 

But off the top of my head:

I'd spill my own blood to see Fugazi if they ever play together again.
I'll travel hundreds of miles to see Shellac. 
I'd pay good money to see Ry Cooder.
If Double Dagger ever played together again I'd try to see that show.
Never seen the Coup, would love to see them.  (RIP Pam)  Don't know if they are still playing out.
Willis Alan Ramsey would be worth going out of my way for but that's fantasy.  David Bromberg can be hit or miss but with a full band on a high energy night he's fantastic.  I think those days are done for him though. 
McLusky are long gone but if they played together again that would be worth paying money to see.  Mission of Burma still play and are good, worth money. 
Baroness is too expensive...not paying $80 to see a farging prog metal band I don't care how good they are.  The Sword would be fun but farg the crowds at festivals.  If they wanted to come East, I'd enjoy seeing Squalus perform "The Great Fish."  That would likely be a very small show.  farg people.

So yeah, there are some acts worth my time and money.

SD I think they sold single day passes the last couple years after the 3 day passes didn't sell out.
Not sure if there will be single day passes again this year with that lineup. I imagine Rage alone is going to be a ticket seller.

I'd love to go but don't think I can convince wifey to do another festival. Definitely prob can't convince her to camp down there again lol. And I just don't like enough of the undercard, it's Rage and Blink and then a bunch of meh for me. I'd be spending $500 or whatever to really want to see 2 bands.

Romey if you're not camping, the festival life ain't too bad. Walk from stage to stage, catch some music, stop off in the air conditioned tents here and there, drive home and get some sleep. It's the camping in the sometimes extreme heat that'll get you.

I don't know how many times I've seen NIN before.  Probably 10 or so?   Tonite was, well... interesting. 

Friday and Saturday were both mostly rained out.  Big surprise in Florida in May, right?  Anyway, today was not bad weather wise.  Saw Halestorm, (not bad) Porno For Pyros (interesting considering it was their first performance in 26 years, and finally Smashing Pumpkins.  They were really amazing. 

But back to NIN... if anything was going to go wrong on a usually flawless (down to the beat) set, tonite was the night.  About four songs in, they completely lost power to their monitors (meaning they couldn't hear their own performance.). They were just starting March Of The Pigs when poof, it all went dead.  Trent came on and basically said because of the humidity, their system failed.

Anyway, after about 15 minutes, shtein got back on track, and it was incredible.  I'd love to see them without the metal trash around me, but other than that, it was phenomenal.

Go see them.

The end.

low cut connie was there i believe...really like them. philly band, but couldnt make the show.

went to that punk show instead. a jew loves a hook up. not much of a fan of this type of music so had never been to a show...its pretty chaotic but like organized chaos. people just randomly go on to the stage to go crowd surfing. the band just kinda plays through it. they went hard for 1 hour and that was it. i guess it takes a lot out of you to play nonstop. fun but not anything id ever want to listen to any other context.

the band was cool as shtein though...like legit people. i think theyre coming through again in the fall so if anyone wants to see amyl and the sniffers i might be able to help.

Impressive performance...but bloodless, no push and pull at all...so as an intellectual/concept I think it's cool, and the technical chops these dudes have are outrageous...but I'd love to hear them play some rock and roll without a metronome, or a super curated arrangement...I don't know if they could make you want to shake your ass in a roadhouse, or find a groove without three months of practice on the piece

Saw Burr last night at the wfc. Everyone who came had to put their phones in this thing called a yondr

I was expecting him to address the Philly incident but he never brought it up. Whole new routine...he's on my Mount Rushmore of comedians (Burr/Murphy/Rock/Gaffigan) but his new material was only so so.

really lame when artists do that. youd think hed be a guy not worried at all if online leftists got mad about his jokes, thats his whole shtick

xpn fez last night at the tweeter center (or freedom mortgage pavilion) to see war on drugs and patti smith. patti is getting up there but she can still bring it. TWOD were amazing as usual. my first time there somehow and that place just sucks. i guess its fun if you pay $20 for lawn seats and get to chill at a concert for nothing but theres just no way to really get energy in that kind of venue

Got tickets for Depeche Mode in October.  I had the presale password so my tickets are fairly and reasonably priced but since when are tickets in the first few rows $2,000?    I mean holy shtein.  I'd pay that for exactly no one.  Maybe if the Beatles played with resurrected Lennon and Harrison on stage, but that's about it.

The Killers were $300/each at an amphitheater down here too.  Wut.

They've never had a bad show. The encore they used to go 10-15 years ago(Aenima/Schism/Lateralus) was the greatest encore in the history of music. Not sure why they don't play 7empest live. Did they tell you you could bring your camera phone out for Stinkfist?

I've heard from a few other people that they are bombarded with street fight videos too. Even if it's disgusting, at least amplifying the racist alt right accounts would make some sense. Why they are forcing street fights down everyone's throats is a mystery lol.

I missed going to concerts with Covid being an issue, so I've been going to see bands in bars and whatnot lately. 

Going to see Morrissey from The Smiths next Saturday, Depeche Mode the following Tuesday, Phoenix in November and then Steve Miller Band in December.

Welcome To Rockville here in Hell's Acres has gotten bigger with each subsequent festival.  They released the initial lineup for 2024 and it's pretty underwhelming despite having 150 acts scheduled (so far).

Saturday looks pretty good, however.

My friends get the super VIP package and that typically comes with access to meet and greets.

I'm not a big fan of that usually because most interactions I've had with rock stars have been meh.

But I wouldn't mind shaking Dave Grohl's hand.  Dude is amazing.

And Clutch is fantastic but I'd pay the freight just to see Helmet again.  It's been 30 years. 

Also - Descendents are coming to Orlando in March with Circle Jerks. 16 yr-old Rome is very excited about that show.

Eagles "farewell" shows went on sale yesterday.  For giggles I looked at ticket prices and was surprised to see them semi-reasonable in nosebleeds.  $145.  But they add another $55 in fees on top of that. 

Good seats were $600 each which is mind-boggling. 

Steely Dan (half anyway) is opening for them.

Maybe it's just me but going to a local bar and listening to a cover band for $10 play the same songs seems more palatable. 

I saw Phoenix at HOB on Sunday.  They were great.

I saw the Fugees a couple weeks ago.  I got my first CD player installed in my car in the late 90s just so I could play that album. 

First half of the show was Lauryn Hill solo - which was actually kinda garbage - could barely tell which songs she was singing.  But the last hour or so was all of them back together and it was pretty dope.  I guess it was one of Pras' last shows because he can't travel out of the country with them lol - something about being a Russian spy or some nonsense lol.

Fall Out Boy is fine. I'll always prefer their pop punk/emo early days to the stadium rock they do now but even some of that is catchy.

I bit the bullet and bought us tickets to Green Day at CBP in August. They announced they were playing Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety so I couldn't pass it up. Unfortunately once they made that announcement the prices of tickets jumped and I had to shell out lol.

Also seeing Taking Back Sunday at the Bottle n Cork in Dewey in August. It's been kinda cool seeing all the bands that were big when I was in HS starting to play Bottle and Cork, just saw Wheetus and Dashboard Confessional there last year

Fallout boy show was pretty remarkable. Only know their popular stuff but they put on a helluva a show. Haven't been to many concerts where the crowd was as energized. Not a fan of their music but understand the popularity. My daughter said it was the best night of her life so it was worth the aggravation. Jimmy eat world opened (there were two other bands but they blew). They were half decent. Didn't get home until 3am. Train stopped mid trip for 30 minutes. First time seeing a show at msg but great concert venue.

I'll be at the Green Day concert in August. More going for smashing pumpkins but should be a great day of music
