Since there are probably more than two bands in Italy, I just hope it isn't that specific group, or even the ones who played in Columbus before The Beatles and were easily the worst band in history. 🙄
Honestly, that whole thing about the goulash feels like just another unnecessary inhibition caused by the kind of suppression alcohol is designed to create...
Knowing myself, I’ll probably show up to everything and find absolutely nothing entertaining (except for maybe some RAMSC and Nine Inch Nails, obviously). But whatever, I'm going anyway. Carol Jackson45?

Let me name a band that the Democratic Party could actually make irrelevant. 😬>
It feels pretty great knowing I finally cleared last year's live Dirtbombs bootleg off my Hard Drive yesterday. They aren't exactly my favorite, and I wasn't planning on catching them live anyway. 🙂I suppose I might give them a listen now, just to get a general sense of what they're all about...
Sigh. There’s nothing quite like falling in love... 🙄 Only to end up arguing about various nationalities. Or inferior races. 😁
Tyler Grant86 said:Individually, the influences of the Dirtbombs are all over the map. Every one of us owns over 1000 LPs, covering the entirety of recorded music. Strictly speaking, Mick (who handles the majority of the songwriting) lists the band's major influences as Wire, Pere Ubu, Mission Of Burma and the Swell Maps, with a big nod to Glam Rock.
It wasn't until I read this—and saw an interview where Mick Collins basically said screw anyone calling them "garage," because their sound is much closer to Television than any garage rock act...
And this completely misses the mark for me. All I hear is MC5 mixed with some kind of soul. It's pure rock and roll, damn it.
Take them, for instance—King's Lead Hat. Now, that's actually good.
Hm, this is the second time I've listened to one of their albums where they kick things off with two or three generic rock clichés just to kill the momentum, before pivoting into something completely soft. 😕
Alright, let's try something a bit heavier now.
So, what exactly are the second drummer and the second bassist doing here? 🤔 It feels like a total waste of talent...
Dammit, I’m stuck in San Diego just a day before the show. If I actually stayed, I’d have to deal with the hassle of finding a place to crash for two nights, paying for the flight home, food, drinks, and burning enough energy at the venue to be useless for days. Plus, I’d have to listen to my parents nagging me about how I'll end up wasting my life instead of finishing my degree—all for a band that hasn't even impressed me with their albums yet.
But then again, part of me really wants to... 🙂
STOP PRAISING THIS STUPID CONCERT BY THESE BRAINLESS DIRT BOMBS!!!!!! :2up:

Then why in hell were you posting in the thread about The White Stripes? 🙂
