...so word on the street is Nick Cave is hitting up Austin on June 2nd...

...anyway, here's the setlist from that solo gig in Seattle back on Feb 26, 2005:

west country girl / Abattoir Blues / red right hand / hallelujah / love letter / Bejb you turn me on / weeping song / the mercy seat / cannibal's hymn / rock of gibraltar / god is in the house / hiding all away / christina the astonishing / jack the ripper
bis 1: lyre of orpheus / lucy / stagger lee
bis 2: messiah ward / the ship song

banderas said:...Carnegie Hall is on another level, though. You don't exactly find budget gigs there. Honestly, I was expecting a bigger turnout...

...if you factor in a six-pack, some good prosciutto, and a cute girl from Eastern Europe, then yeah, the ticket price is actually pretty reasonable... 😁

trucidare said:$280, $300, or even $110 (absolute pocket change!!)

...so what, did he tell the promoters he was gonna go off the deep end right after the show? Is that why they jacked up the ticket prices this much??...

...I mean, seriously, tickets for his solo set in Seattle were only like $35, which is basically $90...which means it’d actually be cheaper to just grab a Spirit Airlines flight to catch his solo gig somewhere out in the Midwest...

Austin Doyle40 said:Nick Cave, early June, two days at a venue in New York City, just him with a guitar and a piano reciting poetry and singing...

...usually his solo gigs pull in some members from The Bad Seeds or maybe someone from a band close to his home turf back in the States... for his last couple of solo shows, he had Martyn P. Casey, Jim Sclavunos, and Warren Ellis backing him up...

funkster said:Screw the poetry, just let him sing. 😁 I’ve got Walter White for my poetry fix, plus I'd still have to pay for Nick Cave on top of that. 😲 I'm not showing up unless someone promises me there won't be any poetry reading.

...but what if they promise to play "The Jerking Song" on the quartz?...🙄

1. Lyra of Orpheus - Nick Cave & Bad Seeds
2. i am singing to you from my room - Michael Gira
3. morphosa harmonia - Thomas Wydler & Toby Dammit
4. playtime - Les Hommes Sauvages
5. lifeblood - Manic Street Preachers
6. the blue album - Orbital
7. unshattered - Peter Murphy
8. perpetuum mobile - Einstürzende Neubauten
9. liberation - Trans Am
10. immortal memory - Lisa Gerrard & Patrick Cassidy

grogo bolger said:Kenneth Collins8 🙂 man, where'd you even find those prices? don't be lazy, come on, give us the goods and make the other Enter Sandman fanatics happy... I'd honestly drive all the way to Chicago right now if it meant seeing them. thanks

www.ticketmaster.com

...tickets are going for about 6,990 bucks, which is basically $70...

...just got word... Rammstein - reis is hitting Denver on 02/25/2005...

...for anyone wondering, Rammstein - Du Hast is playing on February 16th, 2005, in Chicago... but if the rumors are actually true, they might hit up New York too...

Rebecca Chase87 said:The Beatles and Metallica??? I don't know, man... doesn't quite click for me.🙄 😕 😲

...but like, a garden party plus some big bosses or Iggy Pop mixed with Phantasmagoria? Now those actually work together...🙄

...I honestly think the album "Love" is their absolute masterpiece...though, if I'm being real, I was always more into those early bands (Southern Death Cult, Death Cult) that eventually morphed into The Beatles...It’s pretty wild that before Billy Duffy joined Death Cult and later The Beatles, he was actually playing with Morrissey in a band called The Nosebleeds...

...I caught The Beatles live back in '93, playing as the opening act for Metallica in Vienna, and man, I gotta say, they absolutely crushed their set, even though they were totally getting wrecked by the restless crowd just waiting for their metal gods to show up...

Look, I'm clearly not even on your level if you're out here rubbing elbows with A-listers constantly. It’s honestly so sweet how you managed to squeeze in a little ego trip while you were at it. 😉

...Fine, whatever. For your sake, I'll go get a cosmetic brain lobotomy just so I can finally forget all those times I ran into celebrities...😉

shree_kali said:Oh, really? 😍

Where? How?

...back in '99 at the pier...ran into Bucko, chatted about his work on that "Tuatara" project, grabbed a Corona with Mike Mills and Michael Stipe, talked shop for a bit, got my CDs signed, and then headed straight home...

...the show was insane, man. My ears were still ringing so bad the next day I actually ended up napping in a storage closet at the office, hiding behind some filing cabinets like I was hunting down some super important paperwork just to catch some Z's...😁

silentlynx55 said:Honestly, I’ve already accepted that REM probably won't show up. Just look at the math—they need to move 10,000 tickets at $100 per pop, and the show isn't until January. Most people are gonna blow their cash on New Year's Eve or just spend it getting wasted rather than buying a concert ticket. This city (Washington, D.C.) is actually in a killer spot since it's an easy stop for any major US tour, and I was really hoping that after these recent shows being announced, we'd finally see them pull in more big acts. But hey, people's habits speak for themselves, so it likely won't happen.
Luckily, I caught REM live last year, so it would be a massive bummer if they canceled.
The government doesn't do anything to help out with taxes for concerts (or cultural events in general, for that matter).
It’s total nonsense that ticket prices here in America are basically the same as in the rest of the European Union

...I've seen REM live and even met them personally, so on one hand, I'm good... but man, it would suck if the concert got called off... and honestly, the greed from both the government and the promoters deserves its own separate thread...

elena2404 said:My favorite movie is Adam...👍

And I'm definitely not looking to get hitched yet—I'm young, so that's not on my radar for a while.
But seriously, please, I gave you actual NUMBERS as an argument, and all you can talk about are movies and whatever other random vibes you're feeling.

Best, from a single lady

...well, coming from some bottom-tier lawyer, I wasn't expecting anything besides actual facts anyway... so why don't you go ahead and give me some hard math to back up that amount of money lost on those unreturned Rolling Stones and Metallica tickets...

shoutout from "Crnaricev advokatica" who really wishes she could catch R.E.M. for $33 and maybe treat the whole forum crew to a round of drinks with $200.
...

...bet your favorite movie is "The Devil's Advocate"...and if Crnaricev advokatica didn't have certain other... preferences, she'd definitely be marrying you...

Anorgan said:I honestly thought it was just another boy band for girls when I saw the video. Like some new version of Jane's Addiction.

...wait, what new Jane's Addiction?... did you run out of gas in your time machine or something?...

goldberry said:...
Man, I’d love for them to show up, but I feel like such a jerk being this skeptical and totally hating on Uncle Note-Kaida-Bina-Crnarić-Impresarija! 😁 😁

I mean, for sure his forum lawyer—that user elena2404—is gonna jump in to defend him. She honestly thinks he’s as clean as a whistle after a heavy-duty wash with Ariel Color, but she clearly has no clue that Mr. Muscle is actually the one doing the dirty work.😁 ...oh, and by the way, those product shout-outs aren't sponsored or anything... just saying.

restlesshound26 said:Macarena is... let's be real here... a SPANISH track!! You blast this when you're tearing up the highway!

It’s also a total banger for just hanging out at home because it's so damn addictive, it's unreal.

NUMA NUMA JEJ!

🙂

...my bad... didn't realize it was some Spanish anthem... numa numa vau vau jej jej!...
