Who's coming to ATL for what may be the first US date of this?

I don't think Odd Future will ever come back as it was before. It was a perfect storm of young and hungry/ambitious rappers that ended up going down their own paths. Luckily, we still have most of them making great music still.

Hit me up with those ATL tickets.

All I want to hear is You're Crazy, Live Era style. Why? Shit bangs.

eyyoo

Wait, what the fuck? I'm just seeing this now.

RIP, Homan.

I'm gonna be at Bonnaroo, so I figure I should listen to them. Best album to start with?

Yeah this would be a must see for me.

^As in god damnit, I really wish they played any of those in ATL

Oh man, I couldn't even give you a full setlist. I only knew about half of it total (Granted I'm not like a super diehard Dropkicks fan the way I am the Bosstones), but Ken said at the end they did 41 songs. Going down a list of songs they've played live off setlist.fm, I know they did:

Curse Of A Fallen Soul

Pipebomb On Lansdowne

Alcohol - Gang Green

Fortunate Son - CCR

Ugh. Glad it was great though! Brighton is actually probably my favorite Boston area venue.

I'm really excited! Tonight was my first time seeing them on the St. Paddy's Day run (Finally!), and while I stand by the fact that the Bosstones top the Dropkicks with the Throwdown, I can't really pretend tomorrow won't be a more exciting show than the Bosstones at TT The Bear's. Don't get me wrong, that TT's show in July was amazing, but they really dropped the ball on the setlist for that show. They opened with 737 and did Chocolate Pudding mid-show, but all in all it was probably the most boring Bosstones setlist I've ever seen. 

How was this show? What'd they bust out?

Seeing the Dropkick Murphys again tomorrow night - they're doing a secret gig at the Brighton Music Hall in Boston for 300 people, and I lucked into a pair of tickets for $20 at the merch booth at the arena gig tonight. Tomorrow night they're doing 2 sets, and all rarities, unplayed live songs, and covers. Should be a great time

Oh my god, I hate you for getting to go to that. I saw the 2013 Brighton gig and it was fucking awesome. I seriously looked into flying back up to Boston when they announced this year's a few weeks ago.

crap i just saw this today.. i had testing this past week and every time i tried to log in here, the site crashed. Sorry for leaving you hanging! that was a pretty crazy show though! 

No worries - that was a goddamn great show. Highlights for me were the Taiyed/Dancehall/Random combo in the first set along with the Livin & Rockin/Omaha Stylee to end it, plus the Sun Come Through and Get Down appearances in the second set. Obviously the choir part was awesome as well.

It could be interesting to see if this leads to a different type of stage show, as I could definitely see whoever guests more comfortable with letting the other 3 work the crowd more than just him and Angus.

Does anyone have a goddamn clue who it could be? Even just who they think could do a good job? Bueller?

Welp, glad I didn't buy a ticket for Atlanta yet... http://www.acdc.com/news?n_id=274

AC/DC are forced to reschedule the 10 upcoming dates on the U.S. leg of their “Rock or Bust” World Tour. AC/DC’s lead singer, Brian Johnson, has been advised by doctors to stop touring immediately or risk total hearing loss.     Tomorrow's show in Atlanta through Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in early April will be made up later in the year, likely with a guest vocalist. More information regarding these rescheduled shows to come.  Current ticket holders can hold on to their tickets for the rescheduled dates or receive a refund at point of purchase.

I also just bought tickets for the first night of 311 day

Heyyo. Flying solo for that. PM me, let's grab a beer.

Absolutely love his Black Friday track. Just goes to show how versatile he is.

Yeah, this is pretty great. As with TPAB, I can already tell that multiple listens to this will be rewarding. The beat to Untitled 8 is so damn smooth.

I think it'd be pretty cool. Don't see it happening though.

Oh shit, I forgot to post this. Here's Bruce working through the front/back GA divide before he crowdsurfed during Hungry Heart:

I love how up in arms the presence of a Kanye thread on a GNR forum seems to get people.

edit: that isn't to say there's no valid criticism of the guy or anything like that. but asking things like when his 15 minutes are up (hint: he's not going anywhere) and posting memes are idiotic

Where on the floor did you end up? Not that it really matters. I got as fucked as fucked gets with my GA in Chicago (My group had 201-204, lucky lotto winner was 280, over 900 bands given out). We wound up about 5-6 people back of the second railing. Still far and away the most fun I've ever had at a show other than the last Spectrum show.

Damn, that's a tough break. I lucked out pretty hard - had wristband #1026 and they drew somewhere in the 670s, so I was one of the last 20 or so people in the front pit section. It was great because I still had an awesome spot, but because I was towards the back of the section, didn't have to ever worry about leaving and losing the rail or anything right up front. Just an incredible time, but as you said that would've been true no matter where I watched from.

Fuck me, last night was awesome. Highlights from The River were Independence Day, I'm A Rocker, Point Blank, and Drive All Night. The "hits" section of the show after was tremendous too with Rosalita as my favorite and the show reaching near transcendent levels during Nils's Because The Night solo. Worth every penny I spent for a GA ticket, I'll post a few pictures later.

Sweet baby Jesus, I'm coming up on ten years too. I hate you all.

So I checked Ticketmaster and sure enough, I pulled up a floor ticket for the ATL show tomorrow. Hooray impulse buys!
