I respect that they're still trying new things. Some of it hits, some of it doesn't. I liked Propaganda, Break It To Me, and Blockades from the non-singles the most.

so many people here are gonna hate this version but i think it's fun

alright i'm in. I wish Algorithm was an instrumental. stay tuned for more reactions while i procrastinate at work!!

I think chances are good for ATL, but I also said that in 2016/17. So...  

I mean look I've missed every tour since Somewhere Back In Time. I'll travel if need be I would just super prefer one down the street.

edit: and i just want to hear the clansman live

edit 2: ATL HOE!!! at the least ideal venue but idgaf

if there's no ATL date i swear to god

Frankly, I don't care enough about Muse anymore to go looking for the leak so I'll report back tomorrow. I'd agree on Dig Down though I feel like that's been around forever and it always feels cheap when a band does that.

i guess i'll listen to this. i thought drones kinda sucked but actually liked most of the 2nd law. thought contagion has grown on me but not a huge fan of the other singles so far.

sure is ironic that trump supporters love to call liberals snowflakes 

hey when is the US leg gonna get announced

It's not. But I would still recommend going.

Word. I found a ticket for ATL on Thursday for below face the other night. I'm going.

Does anyone who knows more than me know if the rumor of this being the last NIN tour has any truth to it? Money is a little tight right now but if this is it I'm going to figure out a way to go.

Would anyone be interested in a 2016 Nashville litho? Like new. PM me.

I'm listed as questionable due to potential hangover on waiting out for tickets for the Atlanta shows tomorrow.

Oh word? I've been waffling on whether to buy a ticket for their show here next week. If I like the song tomorrow I might have to.

lol what

bring this the fuck on

I've only been able to listen to it once through (plus I've been listening to the singles since they got put out) and I'm more intrigued than anything. Historically, that means eventually I'll love it.

Just him playing with programmed backing tracks. He has a guy off to the side helping him with that. He is incredible though.

Gotcha. Would rather a band but hey, never seen him before so I'm pumped either way.

I saw Buckethead tonight in Lawrence fuckin KS

He played some AC/DC (bad boy boogie I think) and I’m pretty sure I heard part of Better way deep in the 2nd encore...

Good show. Enjoyed it.

I have a ticket to see him here in ATL in May - pretty excited. Did he have a backing band or was it just him?

How the fuck am I supposed to know if I can go to a show in January 2019?

If Nashville or Birmingham are on a Friday or Saturday, I'm gonna make it happen. Not many bands left on my bucket list to see and Metallica is one of the top ones.

Sooooooooo far:

2/9 - The White Buffalo

2/10 - Tyler the Creator & Vince Staples

3/2 - Gramatik

3/7 - Injury Reserve

4/6 - Big K.R.I.T.

5/4-5/6 - Shaky Knees Festival (Jack White, Queens of the Stone Age, The National, David Byrne, a bunch more)

5/10 - Alice in Chains

6/4 - Pond

Probably doing Bonnaroo too. A good start.

The reason why you don't kick people is because you would get charged?  Laws, yay!

As for it being an accident: He certainly wanted to kick the camera but it probably was an accidental that the camera flew and hit her face. Or do people think that was his intention 

As for not liking his music (and nothing to do with your post, gunsguy). It's too varied to be rejected altogether. With Kyuss I understand it. It is a monotonous type of music you either like or don't. But QOTSA is so varied, from trippy, happy I Sat By The Ocean, to sluggish, funky Wanna Make It With Chu, to kick-ass rockers like Little Sister, to melodic piano ballads like Vampyre, to progressive songs like Mosquito, and so on. Simply too varied to be dismissed entirely, unless you just hate music in general. And the guitar sound is different from record to record, too. I almost wanted to say you could hate his voice (which is take it or leave it), sure, but even that is not a constant with Oliveri providing screamo vocals back on early records and Lanegan bringing in his beautiful voice on some songs, too. Heh, Homme even managed to make Mr. Dull himself, Dave Grohl, temporarily cool by placing him back behind the drums where he ought to be for Songs for the Deaf. I certainly don't like everything from QOTSA, but there is a good couple of dozens songs there that are fantastic and spans such a varied style of music. He is also a gifted featured musician, and I immediately think of Iggy Pop and Lanegan, and of course Eagles of Death Metal.

But a douche? Sure, at times.

And since I am in a rambling mood. Anyone listened to the last record? Aforementioned Fortress is great. A song to his kids about getting through shitty times. But what I particularly like is how it starts off a bit electronically ambient and then this cool guitar riff kicks and becomes more and more distinct in the mix, before the songs ends with this dual guitar riffing. Another great song off the last record is Evil has Landed which is more traditional QOTSA song with a chugging riff from Homme, but then it ends and this catchy rock start songs for a minute or so before ending. The whole record is just overflowing with ideas and creativity. 

 

Plus he's on the best supergroup album of the 2000s, if not ever.

Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.

Jay-Z - 4:44

Tyler, the Creator - Flower Boy

Wiki - No Mountains in Manhattan

Man, this one has taken me a few days to process and I'm not sure if I quite have yet. As others have said, AC/DC was the gateway drug to the rest of music for me. It's not far-fetched to say that I wouldn't be nearly the person I am if it hadn't been for AC/DC kicking off an absolute obsession with music. Even though they're not a band I listen to a lot now, every now and again I'd put some on and it would be as amazing as it was the first time I listened to them. Malcolm was a big part of that. Sometimes I'd (and still do) go listen to Jailbreak, High Voltage, and Let There Be Rock from AC/DC Live just to hear Malcolm's rhythm guitar during the extended solos. I don't know what caused it, but my appreciation of Malcolm's role in the band has absolutely increased in recent years. Younger me was drawn to Angus's leads and now, later in life, I find I'm listening more to the background - what's constructing the song in the first place.

Angus's statement was perfect. I can't imagine what he's going through right now with both George and Malcolm. Reading his words regarding Malcolm end with "job well done" is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. That's what AC/DC always has been and always will be about - going to work and getting the job done.

Rest in peace.
