Maybe he just saw them live at the local club recently ☕

Someone claiming they heard "peace sells... but who's buying?" wouldn't have phrased it quite like that 😠

I’ve had nothing but "Decade of Aggression" playing on loop in my car lately... if only I could actually experience that energy live one more time 😢

brbin 🙈

Not a single soul from St. Louis showed up. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope for that city after all 🙏 🙏 🙏 😬

I sat through the first three sets and honestly, it was just slow, boring, and felt like a waste of time. I stepped out for some air, then headed back to the bar just as they started playing Pillar of Salt (is that the one with the solo?)—after that, things actually picked up, so I stayed until the end... Since I originally went just to hang out with people, I was surprised to find the music actually decent enough to stick around for—but don't expect me to show up if they ever tour back here...

No, it was never particularly great 😁

Maybe they meant to say that when those idiots played, it was a total pank HOLIDAY 🙂

Fine, whatever you say 😁

Read it more carefully and you'll realize she's complaining because this guy was blocking her with his elbow, preventing her from jumping and dancing... he was just too busy guarding his beer and his peace of mind. 🙄

Maybe try letting the post-two crowd enjoy themselves without all your constant nitpicking for once. 🙄

Once the concert kicks off, everyone’s jumping and dancing like usual—I was right there with them. Then she’s standing behind me, digging her elbow into my ribs just to shove me forward so I don't spill my drink. And she just stays there, unmoving. If you aren't pushing forward, what's the point of even being there? Dammit. I'm still pissed about it. 😠

I was even more hammered than that, and yet I didn't think it was a bright idea to start targeting the performers 🤷 just to prove I wasn't an idiot. ☕

Oh Daniel, but that is $40 🙂

Unless you're Motörhead... 😉

If you had actually seen how Baje tears through Thirsty and Miserable or Ghosts of War, you’d be smashing that microwave to pieces instead of climbing inside it...☕

Sure, and when is someone going to step up and replace Michael Jackson? 🙏 🙏 🙏

The lineup 🙂 we heard two songs while running from The Editors. Those two tracks were nothing more than local trash and some outdated anthem. How much of an idiot do you have to be to think that back in 2009, anyone was actually "proving" anything 🙏 🙏 🙏

My girlfriend felt the same way too🙄

Anyway...

Art Brut is charming enough, but their songs are mostly just tedious. I liked that track about modern art and maybe one or two others following it, but the rest was just filler. The highlights of the set were definitely those bits where they riffed on serial killers and Iggy Pop.
Editors were absolute garbage. I honestly don't know how that guy manages not to die laughing mid-song—or does he just have no idea how to sing? Mimicking someone else is just pathetic. God help us...
God Dethroned is a solid outfit. They play decent, legitimate death metal with some tasteful guitar work and good tracks about World War I. I actually enjoyed them!
Anthrax was hit or miss. The new singer looks like he’s from a rough neighborhood in Jersey; it bugged me at first, but I adjusted quickly. He seems a bit dim, but he hits the belladonna and thrash notes well enough, even if he does bear a slight resemblance to Phil Anselmo with those buck teeth. Everything was great until those assholes at the end tried to wrap up the show after FIFTY dead MINUTES 🙏 then the promoter somehow forced an encore. They played "Got the Time" and "Room for One More" half-assed and called it a night... I mean, an hour of music, and they choose to end the gig with a song from one of their three least popular albums? They could have at least squeezed in "Among the Living" to close it out. What a joke...
Afterward, my wife headed over to Brooklyn, so I tagged along to see her and check out the band. Why does Brooklyn sound like a gritty Off-Broadway theater production? 😕 I expected bass, mumbling, darkness, drugs, and angst—just generic rock music at its worst. I haven't followed their whole career, but the two or three albums I’ve heard sounded nothing like this mess last night... I thought about checking my phone since I think the frontman is alright, but the screaming from that woman kept me at a safe distance. We grabbed a few more beers, toasted to Michael Jackson and Farrah, and headed home tired but happy. Overall, I only liked three metal bands and one punk band at the festival. My musical taste is maturing beautifully 👍

Kyle Wilson74 said:The organization was actually surprisingly decent... which caught me off guard. However, it seems they completely overlooked the fact that human beings occasionally need to use the restroom, and typically prefer doing so in designated facilities...

Lily Allen is just plain underwhelming. You go in expecting catchy pop hooks, but instead, you get this frustrated, pretentious teenager who genuinely believes everything is fine as long as she’s losing weight. And honestly, the crowd was unbearable. A bunch of drunk fifteen-year-olds spent the whole night shrieking each other's names—"AAAAA, Baaaarbaaararaa, you're here!"—to the point where we had to remind them several times that the stage is in front of them, not behind. They were practically nesting in the aisles... I finally had to snap at them with a "One more move like that and you're all out," just to get some peace...

I don't give a damn about all the nitpicking and commentary on how things were written... there were hundreds of bigger shows than this one, weren't there?...

As for the second half of that quote, I honestly think that concert and the artist were curated specifically for Baaaarbaaararaa and her circle... not for some thirty-year-old fossils... 😉 Who do you think you are? Acting like some kind of tough guy just because you can't hear Lily Allen over the crowd... pathetic... 🙏 🙏 🙏
