Or the nu-Beyonce

This is far beyond "past your prime." Seriously depressing.

On top of that the headliner was FireHouse without CJ.

I went to the Forum last night. The show is just chugging along at like a 7. Someone I know who has gone to hundreds of the shows since the 1970's says now he is good not great. Then after the duets with Patti, who never shows up anymore, he steps on the gas and takes it to a ten for the rest of the...

I agree. Listened a whopping 1 time but really dig Crown Of Horns.

I guess Blondie don't count because theirs is called Under The Gun (For Jeffrey Lee Pierce)

Same night as Hoodoo Gurus at the El Rey but added to calendar just in case. 9/28/24 The Motels @ Canyon Club Montclair 9/28/24 Hoodoo Gurus @ El Rey Theatre 9/28/24 Mitski / Sharon Van Etten @ Hollywood Bowl 9/28/24 Heart / Cheap Trick @ Crypto Arena Crypto could have been the only available venue...

anyone know who owns it now? Gotta be a cash cow. Can't say I would go there willingly, but pretty crazy history to that place. I played their once, the backstage room had like a zillion signatures from every rocker you could think of, that was really f*cking cool. I have some vague memory of seein...

I cannot get past the fake bellowing singing snd awful bass sound. But when you add in his fans, especially the lawyers and professionals that think Bruce is their connection to a blue-collar life, then i start getting pissed. Or the people crying because now that Bruce is asking for what his ticke...

Is that photo from their first show? Would be badass if it was. Great band, I only discovered their discography a few years ago, but love their music, one of my top five "punk" bands. It's not, first show Joey played drums. Tommy was supposed to produce but wasn't happy with the drumming ...

The only "paid" M&G I ever did for a top level artist was Miranda Lambert. At least in 2018 it was included with a $30 fan club membership, by lottery and limited to one a year but there were like 100 people in line so I get the idea it's not that hard. I originally bought fan club for...

It's kinda tough to come up with realistic prices when I know the act's expenses have doubled too and don't buy most of that stuff. I pretty much stopped buying merch or any logo stamped trinkets. Even if I wanted to spend the money it's a constant struggle to keep my living space from turning into ...

Count me in with this guy

It seems like he's always in character or something

Is he really like that??

It's like that for a lot of people

Skid Row wouldn't be in arenas

Most overhyped club in the country. The nostalgia is cool, other than that, turd club. Staff was pretty much indifferent to us when we played. No issues there Absolutely. It's a club for tourists for who don't know any better but out of the 100+ clubs I have to in the years since I turned 21 I woul...

It's OK. The event is on Goldstar so you can get in slightly under $30. You might be able to find a better seat. I am thinking of going.

Seen them twice, fun band.

Now here's a gift, Warning by Black Sabbath

2027 and beyond or summer 2024, you never know. I like to point out Carl Wilson's last Beach Boys show was in the middle of a 5 date Atlantic City run.

And Robin Zander was still smoking at least into the 90's, probably later and he has one of the most perfect voices.

No F'n way unless it becomes a full tribute band. They BARELY made it through PowerTrip. Insurance and money burn cost must be insane on this with 1 day on and 3 days off............ That's why it's gonna take thru 2027 assuming they make it that far. It's why tickets have to be expensive. They cou...

Hanoi Rocks Helsinki, Finland 2022

But the whole trip was a nonstop high just being there.

And the crackpots have now taken the anti-vax hysteria to a point that we're seeing measles outbreaks, so their children are suffering needlessly for their parents' devotion to the Trump idiocracy. Which is weird because Trump isn't antivax. His extreme followers are like extra stupid. His follower...

I always thought it was weird that the public bought into buying DVD collections in the 90s-00's. I get owning the Godfather or bullshit to keep kids occupied, but movies arent like music. Who the fuck was buying Look who's Talking Too or Sahara or The Scorpion King, and saying "Honey! We can ...

What do they put the fentanyl in? Just coke? Or also weed, and if so... Why? I'm not a drug user so I have no clue. I did just discover something called research chemicals though, which is legal here. From what I can see they slightly change the chemistry of a drug and then it is legal, but still m...

This is about movies but could apply to a lot of physical media. And concert DVD's are really the only physical media I have been buying the past 20 years The film fans who refuse to surrender to streaming: ‘One day you’ll barter bread for our DVDs’ As more movies vanish from streaming services, cin...

House Of Blues too big for this

AIC painfully bored me so much at the Hollywood Palladium in 1991 that I never got over it. Same for STP (1993), not boring but just terrible. Was the Palladium show where half of the set was acoustic, with them sitting on a couch playing the tunes from sap that have not been released yet? It was t...

Now the bigger bands play the 02 whatever it's called now.
