Strokes Concert October 12th

[markie]

I am half with jadetree on this......
 
 lets see....
 
 The vines album is surprisingly much better than their live show. The album is actualy pretty good.
 
 As for the strokes, well a lot lot of you lot are fickle, fey, fraudsters. You support them on the way up, then when they get somewhere you try and knock them back down.
 
 The strokes may not be the greatest rock band ever, but are they really any worse or better than interpol or the white stripes? Is this it? is a pretty enjoyable listen and when they supported doves, they were one of the few support bands, I had never heard of before the show, to really get me to sit up and pay attention.

So you let the opinions and impressions of other people dictate what you like and dislike? [/b]

that and, as i posted before, i dont like any of their songs.
 
   i shouldve been more clear and said "one of the reasons i dislike the strokes"

At least I'm consistant in calling them all shite....credit where credit is due though, White Stripes are the best of a bad bunch.

much worse.  much much worse.  although i must say the most grueling live show i have seen in a while was Interpol at Coachella.  they insisted on playing the first 8 bars of "Untitled" 4 times because they kept fucking it up...i mean, really, cut to the next song, or pick up where you left off, i have been out in the sun all day and i am too tired to stand almost.

  Where would you guys suggest they play? Of course they're going to go with a larger venue where they can make the most money. Five years from now, they'll be reduced to playing places like JAXX, and their fans will have moved on to some other flavor. Better make the $$ now.

friday/saturday double show at the 930.
 
 i keep forgetting that hating the strokes is oh so deck.  please talk about how trail of dead rips off sonic youth next

 rent party
 the alimony is killing me
 rehab is expensive these days
 drinking in nyc bars bitter about being dropped is expensive

[letters and soda]

hahaha, how about "somewhere closer than baltimore county that you can drink while watching the show"?

[bearman🐻]

oh yeah Mobius...that's what I'm thinking. What a pit that place was!

Being a student at UMBC, I will report that the Fieldhouse is mostly used for sporting events and high school graduations.  
 
 The last concert there was Good Charlotte around six months ago.

Here, here!
 
 The girls think the singer is sooooooo dreamy though, and that seems to be all that matters these days. [/b]

God, girls these days are fucked up.  He looks like a guy posing as a strung out lower east side coolster.  Blech.
 
 Give me Tommy Keene any day

Way worse than the White Stripes.  And I don't hate the Strokes, I can take 'em or leave 'em, but the White Stripes are in a different league.
 
 I don't know shite about Interpol.
