Gotta love the "I knew them back when...." pissing contest.  I'm sure the band appreciates your feelings and wishes that they could rewind to the days that they had a small fan base and made no money.    
 
 BTW do you happen to have an extra ticket?  I'd like to be a scumbag too.

Well aren't you just a barrel of fu%king sunshine...dude you need to take something for that social anxiety disorder that you seem to have.  This is not a train concert so don't get your panties in a bunch.
 
 Hmmm, if you actually read some of the posts on this board (you know from them "illiterate scumbags" that you speak of).  You would have known that you could have purchased the tickets BEFORE the show was announced on the 930 site.  And a few months ago (July?  I think) you would have read posts about the band and how great they are live.
 
 So, while you get "cool kid" points for making the Blackcat show...realize that not everyone can be as cool (some of us were on their honeymoon...).  Asshat.

yup Jack White had instanteous fame given to him... let review shall we.
 
 At one point he played in a band called The Go.
 He and Meg came up through the open mic scene in Detroit and use to play a place there called The Stink.
 The White Strips once played the old Ottobar which is about the size of my living room.

Am I the only one that can't really get into this album?  It's not bad at all, but not great either.

I find Arcade Fire to be pretty boring.

I think you're also missing the fact that if they weren't popular and you were the only person at the show, they wouldn't be playing anywhere.
 
 People like good music.  
 
 Get the fuck over it.

Don't worry, I'm sure he yells at his neighbors for gentrifying the city.

Excuse me, but Isn't that what everyone on this board does? I knew the Ramones before they got big, I knew Nirvana before they sold out, we knew all these cool indie/alternative bands before WHFS started playing them and now they are not so cool anymore....and so on, and so on, and so on....
 
 Without the scumbag comments of course.   :)

I'm happy to say that I got into Oasis from way back then and love them more with every passing day...
