System of a Down at 930??

[chokeychicken]

So apparently, System of a Down is going on a "guerrila" tour, playing small clubs to promote the release of their new record.  All that's been released right now by Pollstar is that they are playing venues the size of the Metro in Chicago, and First Avenue in Minnesota.  Usually, this also means the 9:30 club is on the list of stops. Anybody know any plans of SOAD stopping at 930???!

audioslave is pure watered down crap ... at least system of a down is idiosyncratic, they have some interesting stuff ...

Well, even locally, 1,100 people disagree with you, plus we already know your opinion from your obviously biased posting in your "column" for this week - conveniently posted under another thread.  How about we make a deal; if you don't like a band - don't abuse the journalistic code of "unbiased, non-personalized reporting" by flaming them in your "press", just don't promote their event, non?  Of course, shutting up seems to be your most difficult challenge.

no, 1100 people don't disagree with me, they just like watered down crap
 
 if i didn't interject my opinion into the list, i wouldn't have a job, the WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE COLUMN is the fact that i have an opinion.
 
 how about we make a deal: if you don't understand the journalistic difference between a white house correspondent and someone who writes a personal column about upcoming club gigs, keep your mouth shut.
 
 audioslave is 10% as interesting as their previous bands ... it's like chris cornell came in and said: "ok, forget about all that interesting stuff you played with your last band, and get ready for some bland crap"
 
 while i'm not a fan, i like some of system of a down's stuff, i think they're interesting ...

Hoya, that's bullshit. Where does your "opinion" reflect in listing  a VERY sold-out concert - for a group you have such major contempt for - in a column that supposedly designed to list upcoming "things to do" for the weekend?  I think your "opinion" is to show what a cool, up on everything, hipster you are...unless you're supporting scalpers  - and you intended to feed their trade. IF anyone really cared about what YOU thought, your negative crap would make people feel badly about themselves and their tastes..I just think you're ridiculous in your pursuit of attention...by using bad language, cracking un-funny jokes about rape, murder and suicide - and slamming many very entertaining groups playing at 930 - and their fans. I'm surprised you're still allowed to post here. Bet your supply of free tickets starts to dry up.

well said. His "column" certainly seems to have young, recently reformed hipster, who used to listen to this crap and now must distance himself from it at all costs, written all over it.

A little obsessive....?

 Yeah, been saving it up.  My once a week or so posts are so boring - as opposed - to say once every three minutes on every thread?

[HoyaSaxa03]

this is fun, i can't believe you get so riled up about this ...

this is pretty boring stuff, but if you really want to know ...
 
 my job is twofold: 1) to list the "hot" things going on in town for the weekend and 2) to inject my personal opinion, writing style, "voice", whatever you want to call it
 
 you can get a full list of what's going on elsewhere in express, i guess they pay me to write the column because they want my "voice"
 
 that said, you're seeing an unedited version, i usually push the envelope and let my editor decide what to take out or tone down

shit!!! you caught me!!! ok, i'll give it up ... i'm actually sponsored by ticketsnow.com ... if you look closely (and it looks like you really follow my work, thank you), you'll notices that the second letter in every fourth word spells out "t-i-c-k-e-t-s-n-o-w")
 
 my opinion is just that. my opinion.
 
 i think that audioslave is a watered-down version of their former bands, and, frankly, this opinion isn't exactly original ... it isn't fucking breaking news that many people think audioslave is vanilla wafer crap ... as i said in a previous post this morning, i'm not ripping on people for liking the music, everyone approaches music from a completely different perspective

i honestly could care less if people care about what i think ... obviously someone likes it though, because i've been doing this for a while now

what?  pursuit of attention?  we're on a fucking internet message board!!  and when do i make jokes like that? i'd venture to say that i'm more considerate than a few other folks on here ... bad language? are we in middle school?
