Scumcat Esq. Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Iggy should headline this fest and Blink 182 should be expelled from planet Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'd definitely think twice about taking Momma Powerage to the barrier at this gig P5. Who said anything about the barrier at this one? Fuck that, I saw what it was like for Iggy & The Stooges at Yonge and Dundas That was insane!I suspect this will be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that, I saw what it was like for Iggy & The Stooges at Yonge and Dundas I don't do the barrier at punk shows, ever. No exceptions.Agreed, unless the venue is empty. I was at a Street Dogs gig with like 100 or 150 other people, and took the barrier there. Saw the Dropkick Murphys in a packed club, was like 10th or 15th in line to get in, and went straight for the balcony. Not taking any chances...

They played to 300 people last month in Pittsburgh, and it was one of the roughest barriers I've ever been on still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yes, and when Soundgarden got back together, Matt Cameron told the rest of the band that his priority was still Pearl Jam even though Soundgarden was his first band and the band for which he initially gained recognition and any commercial success.AliOne major difference being Pearl Jam routinely writes, records, and releases music together with Matt Cameron and involves him in the day-to-day direction of the band - as opposed to just being expected to show up when beckoned by Eddie Vedder to play tours based solely on the Ten album, which he never appeared on and two or three songs he contributed to 8 years ago in the studio.Exactly.Ali tends to look at every situation through Rose colored glasses. Hopefully he will "understand" your explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzygirl Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm glad for Tommy, at least now he will be playing music that he really likes. I wish the best to The Replacements, hope the tour goes great and they decide to go back together full time, new albums and all that. So, Tommy has to quit Guns and Axl will have to FINALLY make some type of decision about the future of this band (no more Guns, a replacement for Tommy, someone good for a new album, Duff...)

shotgunblues1978 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Tommy said earlier in the year that his goal for 2013 was to see a Replacements record and GnR record get released. Looks like everyone in GnR is doing their own thing this summer/fall after the final Canadian festival date(s).Its actually good news for GnR fans that all of this is happening, as it looks like the touring is on hold. We already know that the next album is basically (or completely) done from a recording standpoint, so hopefully Axl will spend the rest of the year sorting through the business issues and finally getting the thing released.

Saw at least 5 people get concussions, and lots of crowd surfers kicked people in the head. I have no pain tolerance and had run a half marathon that morning. NFW I was fuckin with that stuff.

volcano62 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't see Tommy leaving any time soon, but if he does, I don't know that I want Duff back. I love Loaded and would hate to see it get shelved.IMO guys like Duff, Slash and Izzy no longer want to be part of such a huge juggernaut anymore. They would rather do their own little thing and take care of their families.Tommy said earlier in the year that his goal for 2013 was to see a Replacements record and GnR record get released.

I think it's good news....no touring could mean new album being worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 are the replacements actually any good?If you like punk rock, yes.Thats not fair man, only their first two albums were really punk, as far as that old school sound thing goes.

Guest Len B'stard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 You'd be suprised man, there's a lotta jumping about and that but gigs are pretty soft these days, even with your Iggys and what have you. Although Mr Osterberg waving his plonker about at a site of historical significance might raise an eyebrow or two if he's kindly enough to give it an airing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
