So is this the only way S.O.O.L. is coming through the area?  If so -- bummer.

dude, I was reading on my way DOWN, hadn't gotten there yet.  It was a reasonable question.  I saw it, I saw it.
 
 Or don't you know I only read threads started by sonick.     :p

sure they aren't faggy brit-pop and they arent the hottest band out there.  but I've always liked the bluesy rock they play.  i have never seen them live (and that list of bands is very short) and the Hammerstein Ballroom is one of my favourite places to see shows. PLUS, TSOOL is there, its in NYC where i love to go, I have a free place to stay......
 
   but i dont think i need to defend myself on the Crowes.  the Music maybe, but not the Black Crowes.

There's nothing wrong with the Black Crowes.  Especially, at a small-ish place like the Hammerstein.
 
 If they were playing in this area, I'd be there.

Are you sure you are not Rob Gee/Guiny?
 
 Black Crowes are the American equivalent of Keane.

Sonic hearts the Counting Crows, the Black Crows, and CCR.
 
 What I don't understand is why he doesn't love him some real Americana, instead of the watered down version that the two Crow bands play.

i dont like the Counting Crows anymore, their first two albums were good, their 3rd was ok.  thier last couple or whatever, arent cool.
 
    as for the watered down part.....when someone doesnt REALLY love a genre...they tend to like the watered down bands of that genre.
   
    like a very casual hip=hop fan might like Outkast, Jurassic 5, Black Eyed Peas....when in reality, these bands are definitely watered down compared to a lot of true hip-hop fans.
 
    Electronic music fans would say the same of Crystal Method or Fatboy Slim
 
    you get it....
 
   and i dont listen to the Crowes anymore, but i was shaking my money maker back in 1990 or whatever and  it just seems like a cool show...it was only $40 man....its not like i mortgaged my house for these tickets.

Black Crowes = Watered Down Americana
 Keane = Watered Down Brit Pop
Title: Re: Ticketmaster loves me today
Post by: sonickteam2 on February 03, 2005, 12:23:00 pm
ohhhh, i forgot.  Markie only likes bands that sound completely original and have NO recognizable musical influences.  gotcha.  :)
Title: Re: Ticketmaster loves me today
Post by: Bags on February 03, 2005, 12:25:00 pm
I fully admit to enjoying the watered-down versions of genres I'm not a big fan of -- Outkast and Fat Boy Slim are good examples.  And Madonna's my pop fix.
 
 But for me, I wouldn't go to a Black Crowes show if I got free tickets...  Counting Crows, show is free -- probably.

I'd go if the Crowes were free and having a local show. Crows - no way. They suck live.
 I saw the Crowes back in '90. They said "hello" to the crowd, naming the wrong city. "Huh? OH. Where are we? Oops..." straight into the next song. Ah, nothing like the Crowes in a southern college gymnasium.

Take earplugs.  When I saw the Crowes they were  LOUD.

Well he's not Rob Gee, I'm sure he's not too upset with that. I absolutely do not like the Black Crowes, there's something about his voice that makes my skin crawl.
 
 However Sonick, I will also be at the Crue concert. We must meet somewhere on 7th street for a few drinks before the show.   :D

With all of the Canadian bands that I've been listening to lately, I think that Sonick and I got switched at birth. In fact, I'm listening to one now (Readymade).

   Readymade is good.  thier old band Pipedream is pretty good too, if you can get an import of one of thier discs, they are kind of hard to find.

You must read Spin Magazine. They say Canada is the new cool. At least that's what the copy at my gym said.

My favorite Canadian band is Dayglow Abortions. Their best cd in my opinion is "Feed us a fetus".

Thank you for your help and support.
 
 I saw on the TSOOL website that they are doing a few dates with Robert Plant. *shudders*

Actually, yes, I used to have a tape of theirs with the title I gave before. Maybe they got worse as they went along or maybe it was one of the first punk tapes I listened to. I thought they were pretty decent and funny at the same time. They are no holds barred. Alot of the titles are outrageous. But I havent heard anything other than that one tape.
