2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 At the moment, just some country acts, Yellowcard with the Ataris and Vanilla Ice. Scheduling has been extremely slow around here so far and might pick up around next week but for now, it's weak. Probably just Dwight Yoakam, Big & Rich w/ Cowboy Troy, Yellowcard with the Ataris (which I'm going to hate), Marty Stuart, and Vanilla Ice. Is Yoakum pretty sweet in concert? I'd think it'd make for a pretty fun atmosphere. The first time I saw him was at our state fair which is the most uptight place on the planet and he loosened that place up. I had to pay 40 for the ticket this time but it's in a small venue with a group of mostly college aged adults so it's going to kick some major ass. I think he depends on the venue, he does put on a good show though and he sounds very good live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 Dama, I went last year for the "hardcore" stage (two hardcore bands, a bunch of shitty emocore bands, and the rest were pseudo-metal acts) and The Offspring, and I left a van of Valient Thorr. They're on the bill this year. Go just for them. They are fucking WORTH IT. I may go to see Comeback Kid (only "emocore" band I can stand, and that's mostly because they have the old-school hardcore punk feel to 'em) and Valient Thorr. Plus, my old bandmates in The Throes of War (formerly The Deepest Remorse) are trying to get on the bill through some contest, so if they do...I'm gonna be there to make fun of 'em. I got a lot of people taking pictures of me last year because I had "emo kids fuck off" written on my back and "I PEED MYSELF" on my chest, so hey. Maybe I shall return as well. ...doubtful, though. I'd likely end up getting thrown out for causing too many fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to see Rakim in Baltimore and Roots/Kweli later on in Baltimore but I'm not sure I'll make it to either of those shows. If Shadows Fall are coming around here, I WILL be seeing them, I'm gonna go check dates right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2006 *bump* Didn't feel like starting a new thread so I just bumped this one. I found out that Bob Dylan's minor league baseball tour is heading near my way to Manchester, New Hampshire on August 27th. Jimmie Vaughn's new band and Junior Brown are opening. Tickets are expensive ($50, the same price I paid for U2 tickets last year) but I've got the money and it's a smaller venue (6,000 seats) plus it's Bob Fucking Dylan!

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Bob Dylan is pretty pitiful live these days. Fair warning. If you want to see Bob Dylan because it's Bob Dylan, have fun, but be ready to hear almost none of the songs that made him famous while he's propped up behind a keyboard or something. I'm going to see The Dillinger Escape plan again the first week of august, was considering the first day of Lollapalooza for Deadboy/Ween. My next can't miss deal is Hypocrisy/Decapitated/Suffocation in Detroit this fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted July 5, 2006 I might go see Guster at Summerfest on Saturday night, and I'm probably going to the Pitchfork fest in Chicago to see the Mountain Goats and whoever else is there that I might like. I'll probably get to a few more drum and bugle corps shows this summer as well, but I was disappointed by the show in Bloomington. Boring music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to see Bob Dylan because it's Bob Dylan, have fun, but be ready to hear almost none of the songs that made him famous while he's propped up behind a keyboard or something. Yeah, I've heard a lot of negative stuff about his live shows but oh well. I'm not expecting Bob Dylan circa 1966. I'm going to try to have a good time anyways and Junior Brown should be good at least as an opener. I was thinking about going to a local music festival that had Dr. John, Blues Traveler, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Saw Doctors and a bunch of local bands. But $55 for a bunch of bands that I don't really like but can tolerate is probably too much. So I think it's just going to be Guster/Ray LaMontagne and The Bob Dylan Show this summer for me.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted July 5, 2006 Czech, I'm going to Zappa Plays Zappa on the 22nd in Cleveland. AWESOME. I'm aiming for the Minneapolis show on the 20th. I heard Terry Bozzio hurt his arm and was out of commission at least as far as drums were concerned, so hopefully he's at 100% by October. (Of course he would.) The set lists look like a pretty comprehensive mix of 70s stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2006 Well, on Wednesday I saw Puffy AmiYumi in a small club with Tally Hall as an opening act. I was quite happy with Tally Hall, they did some straight rock, some rock reggae type stuff, a little bit of rapping, and closed out with a cover of what I think is Kevin Federline's song(goes something like "Oh baby you/ got what I need/ but you say he's just a friend....) as a joke, but it was pretty killer. They're coming back to the area next month and I may just look into seeing them again. Puffy AmiYumi was excellant, as they were last year, and they spoke more English this time around between songs. It looks like covering Basketcase is a regular part of their live sets now, which I have no problem with. They claim it's their favorite song by their favorite band. They also did some new songs from their new CD, Splurge, which comes out on the 25th, but they were selling it at the show and I was one of the first 30 who bought it, so I got a pre signed copy. It's not as good as their other stuff, Nice blows this out of the water. I think their main problem is they tend to have very weak English lyrics written for them, but they can't really get big singing in Japanese, which seems to be their goal. They still sound awesome when they do their Japanese songs, though. My one complaint was the speakers were way too loud for such a small club, the floor was vibrating and my ears were ringing for a while after. It's a bizzare sight to see a band singing in Japanese in America, but Puffy always puts on a good show, and if they're coming to your town, I would strongly suggest you investigate seeing them, tickets for the two shows I've seen of them have been only $20 a pop(saw them last year as well). If they have Tally Hall with them as well, you're in for a real treat and a solid two hours of good music. That, by the way, would be my primary complaint, Puffy doesn't do much more than an hour of songs. I'm curious to see if they cme back, though, and if they'll do the Teen Titans song again, since it'll be that much longer canceled by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2006 I actually don't mind that because with Fear Factory on the bill, they're gonna draw more money so that should mean more well deserved money for Suffocation. They will end up with a shorter set though, sadly. I actually don't hate Fear Factory, but it is a very odd tour grouping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considered by some to be the forefather of death metal, even predating Death or Morbid Angel. The fact they only had two albums and an EP makes it easy to check them out. Start with Seven Churches.
