yes, nothing to see here, keep moving...
-
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
if your gonna go to this one be sure to get fully baked before heading out to the show.... i recommend 450
-
Stupid hipster doofusess.
I saw one of the nights last year at the 9:30, and it was a PHENOMINAL rock show.
Suck it.
-
i saw em in NYC last year and they blew.
i was a fan for 13 years til i saw em live, and i havent listened to them since.
-
Haven't heard this band in years. One semester in college, must have been what,? '91? We listened to their cd quite frequently. I suppose because of that, I haven't unloaded the cd to the used shop yet. So you're saying this is no excuse to show up at the club when they come to town? Probably right, but if there is nothing else to do....
-
The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion and Amorica are two of the best Rock N Roll albums to come out of this country in the last 20 years.
Seeing them live: I hear it can be hit or miss...
For me it's always been a hit.
-
whow's the opener? I couldn't find a good thread on that forum.
-
Saw them at the norva a couple weeks ago. Fun show if you can live with the annoying fratboy crowd but nothing special.
-
i saw them in raleigh on the 12th, with robert randolf and drive by truckers opening. robert killed it . . . which led to the black crowes coming out onto a stage decorated with gigantic mushrooms and lead by a man who appears to be back on the white horse. they seem to now stretch out most songs, instead of playing a proper set scattered with tight gems from ALL albums, as if they are starting to believe the crowes are a jam band. i would even love to hear chris's "new earth mud" material thrown into the roster. sort-a, sort-a of the same-ole, same-ole is what i thought. but what do i know?
-
yeah, please stay away, we don't want any scenester fuckers at these shows.
also, it would really be a waste of your time, because Crowes' shows, unlike say....a strike anywhere show, people are there to hear the music. So, there won't really be any scenester networking. "you see that guy man, what a fake." "yeah, for real....hey, i need to run to the bathroom to "unfix" my hair...its looking a little too neat." "ok kewl, when does the band come on again....and what is their name?" "stroke anywhere, i think. heard they were tight."
if you don't get the ROOTS ladies and gentlemn, you don't get it at all.
-
Some of us don't want it.

it is almost always a hit. 1998 to 2001, now that was one big miss. 1993 to 1997, and 2005 to hopefully forever......it is one BIG HIT.
to highlight the misconceptions expressed on this forum:
1)they do not jam out every song, at least half the songs in a given set will be no more than 3-5 minutes. they balance it, spcaey pyschedlia here, a little heavy shit there, and a little rootsy alll over.
2)the crowes shows are not overrun with fratties. yes, they are present, but i've found that to be true of nearly every show i've been to. crowes' crowds are a bit of a mix really, older peeps, stoner/hippies/, yong jamband kind hippies. occassionally, a few scenesters even sneak into a show. 'Tis true, i've seen it. However, they just tell their friends they were at the coffee shop reading Bukowski.
3.)to the person that has only heard their first album in 1991, they no longer sound anything like that. it would be like hearing "please please me" and assuming that is all the Beatles are. Obviously, they rew and changed a bit.

are you really having us believe that a BLACK CROWES show will be jam-packed with people who aren't casual fans of the band?!? this show will be full of people who haven't left herndon in a year and will treat the show like a night out at a club, not a concert

you're kidding, right? just a big joke? you're trying to say the BLACK CROWES represent roots music in this country? and if we don't listen to the BLACK CROWES then we don't "get the roots"??!
hi-larious.
-
Hey what's wrong with corporate crap rock playing fake "Americana" music ??? LOL
-
d00d, if you want to hear some real roots music you should check out this kewl indie group the Kings of Leon, noone has heard of them yet, but they are the REAL DEAL
hey, i actually have 2 crowes albums and listen to them on occasion, but to fucking fetishize them as the end-all-be-all is just absurd

One up on Hoya.
That was a double whammy! :D
Fake 'roots' and wannabe hipsters.

good one, and i don't know if you are just throwing them out there as a band you despise, or if you are likening their corporate, pseudo roots rock to the Crowes.
you listen to 2 albums, have you seen them circa 1994 to 1997, or 2005 to present?
they are not the be all or end of all roots music, obvisouly, and i neverf meant to imply that. They're not a freaking bluegrass band or blues group. what they are is an amazing band that touches on various forms of roots music in the context of rock, like say the stones in their heydey, neil young, flying burriots, byrds, etc. They also have a side that sounds more modern and heavily pyschedlic. pretty diverse, in my opinion.
corporate rock? just because they had two hits songs 16 years ago doesn't make them corporate rock. were the beatles and stones corporate rock? and really, who the fuck cares? if it is good, it is good. what about PJ and wilco? more corporate rock? DBT too? ha! or no wait, uncle tup is ok but wilco is soo corporate.
the crowd will be 40-50% crowes diehards, the rest are welcome, too. never seen a fight at a crowes show, though it does happen.

yeah, i'd rather listen to some indie dorks do the same thing, but without the musical ability and hidden deep in a din of feedback to hide said lack of ability.
it's art, man...deep shit, ya know?

The main question here should be 'When do the damn tickets go on sale'????????

your sterotypes are way off. why don't you go enjoy some dave matthews?

I'm going to one of these. And I'm going to see Strike Anywhere. And I have all albums by both bands. And I have short managable hair. Suck on that croweboy.

LOL. i have short manageable hair, too! I applaud your open-mindedness, I'm sure not too many fans of either band know much about the other.
I confess I don'tknow much at all about strike anywhere, i was just starting shit. I know they are tight for what they do,i just don't usually care for that type of music. Most punk with such a aheavy message seems a bit contrived to me....its just like, my opinion, man.
Enjoy the Crowes, have you seen em before?
-
Strike Anywhere and most of their fans are pretty unpunkish compared to other bands as far as silly fashions go.
And no I have not seen the Crows before.
-
Did we all never leave high school?
Seriously, who's cooler - the Black Crowes crew or the Strike Anywhere posse?
Rumble at 3:30 at the playground to settle it once and for all.

that's cool about strike anywher.
oh wow, just go with an open mind, don't let anything on this board sway your opiion about them being corporate etc.
it is, without question, a religous expeience, and chris can't even sing like he used to. but the rest of the band is better and marc and rich sing too. these shows will be two sets, numerous covers will be played, anyting from little feat to dylan to stones to beatles to the band to floyd to neil young to flying burritos to stephen stills to traffic to bonnie and delaney is possible. they fucking own the covers.
OWN.

and they did ain't no more cane on the brazos on 7/14...i was there.
-
I like how this kid thinks we don't like the Crowes because we're "scensters" and that we like "strike anywhere." Yeah, because so many of the scensters on here like Strike Anywhere. That's really a band we talk about on here... :roll:
-
two pumps and a motherfucking BUMP!!!
just fucking do it, you dirty dog bastards.
if you open your mind, stop listening to critics and naysayers. nothing is more tredny than bashing this band.

as the other guy on this board who likes strike anywhere, that's a really accurate description of the band and their fans... :roll:

i always wondered what the term "bumpin' uglies" referred to and now i know :D

kate and chris broke up. sigh. i can see why. he looked horrible at the raleigh show. i'd say he's back on h, because he was dirty, skinny, hazy, and lazy with the show.
i wonder how long it will take rich to dump him, again?
-
$40.00 for that shit? Puh-leez! I'm sure it's going to his girlie's wardrobe fund. Eff that!
-
there's a rumour going around that owen wilson is the reason for the break-up of kate and chris.
two words: ha-hah.
-
I thought it was because Kate finally heard what a REAL rock band sounds like when she saw Drive By Truckers open for Black Crows.
