razazteca Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Will DDP, Kanyon, Bam Bam Bigelow make a special apperance?
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Damn...pretty good lineup there...Local H
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 The only group on there really worth anything is AWK. I am somewhat unimpressed, but then again, I'm not into the supercool fiddle-stylings of Yellowcard.
BUTT Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 I might go to the first day, only to see Andrew W.K., but $30 is a pretty steep price if I'm just going for one band.
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Andrew WK, and Static Lullaby and Reliant K are the WORST on that lineup...soo many better bands there.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 You, my friend, have never seen AWK live. Whatever you think of his music (which rules, duh), the man puts on the ultimate show. $30 is a bit steep though - I've seen him in a club for $10, and I think that environment lends itself to the experience a bit better. Reliant K, however, is mortally bad. I saw them open for Billy Idol, which was...really weird. The twelve-year old girls were there for them, the 40-year old men for Billy. I think a lot of 40-year old men went home with love on their minds that night.
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 (edited) You, my friend, have never seen AWK live. And I never will either...you know how many other exciting(and Im noit denying he prolly puts on a great show, everyone says he does so Ill believe it) bands and artists I would rather see in bars/clubs/parties for under 10$? ALOT....and I prolly wont have to see many MTV dork kids there either. Just my opinion...and for energetic music - Local H trumps AWK. edit- Thats not meant to say that I think your an 'MTV dork'.

5_moves_of_doom Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 The only group on there really worth anything is AWK. I am somewhat unimpressed, but then again, I'm not into the supercool fiddle-stylings of Yellowcard. Agreed.
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Don't you wish you were me? No.
Henry Spencer Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Excluding Local H and Andrew WK, there's not a single decent band on that lineup.
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Excluding Local H and Andrew WK, there's not a single decent band on that lineup. Boy Sets Fire. Coheed and Cambria. Lucky Boys Confusion. Less Than Jake. Yellowcard. Sparta.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Don't you wish you were me? No. Ditto. I also never understood the mentality that even if one thinks a band sucks that "THEY RULE LIVE~!". If I can't stand their music normally, what makes you think I'll appreciate them delving deeper into their own shit? Not bloody likely. You couldn't pay me to go to that show, and I'm surprised at the AWK love on this board. Reliant K; aren't they a Christian punk band? I remember someone telling me that. Don't know for sure though, it would be interesting to me anyway.
justsoyouknow Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah, they are a Christian punk band. Which is a little bit strange. That lineup sounds pretty "Look at me I'm different" to me...and I don't know why ANYONE in their right mind would want to see or listen to Yellowcard.
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 I also never understood the mentality that even if one thinks a band sucks that "THEY RULE LIVE~!". If I can't stand their music normally, what makes you think I'll appreciate them delving deeper into their own shit? Not bloody likely. Actually, I'd use the "they rule live" line to describe Sevendust. I can't stand the band, but live? Entirely different deal. Their music is the most generic of modern hard rock, but those guys are NUTS live. Pure energy, man. Lajon has the crowd eating out of his tiny hand before he even says a single word, and the guitarists are jumping all over the place. You'd think they'd suck because they're tools and all, but are actually quite fun.
Red Baron Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 I'll take a prime example of this, and the metal heads of the likes of Corey, AoO, Thumbtack, and well others will again question my metalheadness Remember seeing Motorhead, Dio, and Maiden last year, I was pissed that Dio was not the opening act. After Motorhead left the stage with my ears hurting more than ever, Dio came to the stage, and it didn't help that he's 5' and a tall idiot infront of me, (which later passed out before Maiden hit the stage) I thought it was gonna suck. Truth be Told, Dio was fuckin amazing. Simply amazing, i' mean not to Iron Maiden extent, but I thought Dio was better than Motorhead *what Corey will say after reading this post (Corey: Thall shall give you King of Power Metal status and give to Metal Maniac )
Guest El Satanico Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 wow...that's...um...wow...those are...um Yaaawn...a bunch of bands with whiny voices I'm sure...colour me unexcited.
The Czech Republic Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Well I like Brand New's "Quiet Things THat No One Ever Knows" song, it's in NHL 2004. Something Corporate has some great songs out. I like Motion City Soundtrack. And I actually saw Lucky Boys Confusion when they were playing at Gameworks in Schaumburg, before they ever hit it big.
Henry Spencer Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Boy Sets Fire. Coheed and Cambria. Lucky Boys Confusion. Less Than Jake. Yellowcard. Sparta. Didn't see Sparta. They're okay. The rest suck.
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 Truth be Told, Dio was fuckin amazing. ronnie james dio gag reflex
snuffbox Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 And I actually saw Lucky Boys Confusion when they were playing at Gameworks in Schaumburg, before they ever hit it big. I didnt know they had even hit it big yet...theyre still playing my fave tiny local club regularly. Are they pretty popular outside of Wisconsin/Midwest?
Steviekick Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Boy Sets Fire. Coheed and Cambria. Lucky Boys Confusion. Less Than Jake. Yellowcard. Sparta. Didn't see Sparta. They're okay. The rest suck. My friend saw Sparta, and leading up to their concert, he swore by them. After he saw them, he never mentioned them again and said it was the worst concert ever.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I saw Sparta open for Weezer. They were all right, and that's about it. Felt kinda hopelessly dull. It didn't really help that the crowd wasn't exactly skewed their way, but they were pretty unimpressive any way you look at it.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I saw Sevendust once. They were pretty fun. My "they rule live but are nothing special otherwise" band: Soulfly. I can't stand their last two albums at all, but they get better every time I see them.
converge241 Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 well i dont wish i were you id only trade places with you for this if there were more than a small handful of bands i like ..but it sounds like you will have fun at this..write up a review afterwards i always enjoy a good recap of a multi act festival
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I saw Sevendust once. They were pretty fun. My "they rule live but are nothing special otherwise" band: Soulfly. I can't stand their last two albums at all, but they get better every time I see them. Yeah. Soulfly is pretty good live. Can't hear a damn thing they're playing as it's all one big "OOMFOOMF" from the bass, and you can hear Max go "RAHHH!" now and then, but that's about it. Insane fans, though. Pretty much the entire Portuguese population in Massachusetts turned up for them in the H8 2002 Tour (Slayer headlined, also featured In Flames). This one hot chick kept crowdsurfing and getting her tits slammed in my face. Mmmmmmm...tiiiiiits.....
Matt Young Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 So many good bands... soooooooo many.... At least I have the Warped Tour to look forward to. I haven't gone since 2001. I need to see if there are any good, affordable shows coming up soon in Anaheim, Long Beach, or LA. Oh, and I can also vouch for Sevendust's live awesomeness. They headlined the Locobazooka Tour 2002- at least the show I went to, which was in Biloxi, MS, and sponsored by local radio station WCPR- and kicked copious quantities of ass.
