driftingeagle27 said:Nicholas Perez33, man, I have to ask—which band from the nineties would you say was actually the most influential?

Maybe Fugazi or maybe Slint...

"Nirvana was definitely the most influential band of the 90s"
"Actually, I think Radiohead had a bigger impact"
"RATM is basically just trying to sound like Radiohead"
"Thom Yorke is in the house!"
"Dredg is just part of the general vibe"

This stuff hits harder than a double espresso☕

Kevin Chavez3 said:MOTÖRHEAD ISN'T METAL!!! 😈

Well, I guess there might be some truth to that, but I see it differently. They honestly feel punchier than most punk bands out there, and they definitely bring more noise than your typical noise act! 🙏

Kevin Chavez3 said:Actually, I'd argue BÖC is probably the most respected heavy metal band out there among people who don't even listen to metal.

I mean, I suspect Motörhead might still take the crown, though. There's really only one Lemmy, you know? Yeah! 🙂

I definitely remember you. And honestly? Everyone else besides you is gay! 🙂

Radiohead? More like KID A! 😁

hollowseal33 said:I have to admit, I found myself wondering during their concert just how much of a total fluke they were. It almost felt like this band doesn't really "have" anything going for them, 😁

The last thing I heard was actually pretty awesome; someone told me the track is called "Wax."

Oh, "Wax!" is an absolute anthem. You should definitely download it! Honestly, the version with the heavy bass is ten times better. 😁

np: the fall - midwatch 1953

amberfalcon172 said:Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the Haymarket Riot at all. I suppose if they had been just a little quieter, I might have enjoyed them more, but there was so much noise that I couldn't even hear the music. They righteously sucked. 😛

Maybe try hunting down an MP3 of the Bloodshot Eyes album? You can actually make out the music there, and unlike that concert, you can finally hear the bass guitar instead of it just drowning everything out. I really think it might change your mind...

eg: The Fall - Entitled

Thomas Myers6 said:I think you guys missed the part where the Haymarket Riot bassist acted like a total jerk and jumped right onto my bass drum. Honestly, I thought it was kind of a bold move for the first few seconds, until I realized the guy was actually standing on MY kick drum.😁

He probably just forgot his own drummer is playing your kick. It’s such a common mistake for them, I guess. 🙂

And you certainly can't say the same for Yes-pes, who tend to strike a bit of "terror" into certain parts of the crowd. Though, I suppose that’s better than being totally monotonous. 😁
By the way, it might be nice to back up those impressions with a few actual arguments, don't you think?

and it would also be nice to handle criticism a bit more maturely 😉
I'm pretty convinced Death Disco is going to absolutely lose it during their first set. I'll take it like a manly man 🙂

for example: the fall - clear off!

Carol Jackson45 said:Well, I might have lost my hearing, but hey, at least I get a good laugh every time I hear those Laura Long5 tracks. 😵

Go ahead and laugh if you want, but I’m honestly worried about going deaf in ten years since I spend basically every single day in a room where the volume is cranked up way too high.🙂

for example: the fall - draygo's guilt

Rachel Jones11 said:Now we’re looking at 5mm deep craters on the edges of the drumheads, and the guy from the opening act (yeah, PES) who was playing the kick drum actually said the head was totally shot.😲
And now you're out here giving airtime to guys like that.🙄

But honestly, the real issue was that the bass guitar was basically non-existent because the kick drum signal just completely swallowed it up... though I guess it doesn't matter much. Personally, I thought they sounded pretty good, even if they weren't playing anything like Technicolor Bombs... actually, you could only really hear the bass when he stopped hammering away at that same beat.🙂
What a total amateur.🙂

For example: Lightning Bolt - Crown of Storms (man, please bring those! I'd love to see them live! 😁 )

Daniel Bailey7 said:..because, like, $12 is just sooooo not punk? 🙄

...anyway, let me know how things went at Haymarket... I think I missed them for the second time now.

Personally, I think the guy totally deserved a rubber chicken to the face this time around.

np: les savy fav - blackouts on thursday

Sandra Chase16 said:You really made my Monday better! 👋

Just a quick jog through Kansas City looking for The Boys—it’s definitely one way to brighten up your life!🙂

And for those of you who don't have anything better to do or just want to dive deeper here are the rest of my reviews

Sandra Chase16 said:Whoa!😂 🙂 😂

Come on, guys, please don't take the review too seriously 🙂
or even worse, just don't take Peter too seriously! 🙂

Jason Rogers said:The New York City scene basically died right after that E. J. Klip concert in Des Moines with The Boys. He's just gone!

Haha, what a wild combination! 🙂

A review of The Boys for an American underground music forum

I wonder, is there actually a written manifesto for New Primitivism somewhere? Or maybe a recording of that 1987 farewell speech?

hollowseal33 said:I’ve definitely got a bit of an itch to see them... 😁 though I suppose I’ll probably head out once the ticket prices aren't so crazy.

Oh, you should totally go! This band is absolutely incredible. "Wax!" and "Technicolor Bombs" are such massive hits...

np: Arcade Fire - Crown of Love

Rachel Jones11 said:Honestly, after pulling a 40-hour marathon this weekend where I basically forgot how to eat or sleep, I can't say I'm surprised I didn't get anything done for tonight's Haymarket Riot show—including grabbing tickets during the presale...
So, they're just going to sell them at the door for the presale $8.25... 😳

And here I was, just getting ready to go hunt down some tickets! 😠
I really hope it doesn't get too crowded. It feels like everyone is showing up to shows lately, and then you end up stuck in a massive, sweaty crowd. 😁

I honestly feel like we shouldn't even bother giving much weight to anything that came out after that fourth—and truly final—album 🙂

Regarding his health issues, there’s this rumor that during one of his shows in Italy, he actually had to perform in diapers. I don't think it was some kind of gimmick, though; it sounds like it was strictly for medical reasons. That said, I suppose some people claim he basically "faded away" because he stayed so close to that director Emir Kusturica—who, let's be honest, is a pretty talented filmmaker even if he does hold some pretty fascist views.

On a different note, I honestly feel like the band "I Am Not From Here" out of East Z. P. is ten times better than anything Snoop Dogg has put out lately, even if both styles feel like a total waste of time to me.
