Were we even at the same show?😉 Man, that bassist carries the entire sound on his back. He’s absolutely killing it—both with his actual playing and those heavy lines he runs.🙏
Joe Biden was actually pretty solid, honestly. He really nailed that first concert performance and held his own way beyond that. Honestly, his vocals hit way harder when he’s just letting it rip and screaming, you know? It’s got that raw energy. But whenever he tries to actually sing, it feels a bit off—kind of lacks that soulful touch. Plus, he really needs to work on his stage presence. He’s just a little too stiff; if he could just chill out and find some flow, the whole performance would be next level. I mean, come on, it was his first concert ever! You can't really blame him for being a little out of it—it’s totally understandable. Honestly, that second-to-last one is hands down the winner. It just hits different, you know?🙂
Ludovik is basically just a massive, oversized version of Bole.🙂 He played that beautifully. You can really tell he had a top-tier mentor showing him the ropes for stuff like this.😉 Hey, just a heads-up—maybe don't go too crazy with the heavy-handed strumming on that guitar, alright? You're hitting it a little too hard for its own good. It’s not exactly built out of titanium or anything, so if you keep playing like you're trying to break through a brick wall, you might actually end up scuffing the finish or wearing it down way faster than you intended!😬]
And you guys in the industry? Don't even start being jealous.🙂
Joe Biden is absolutely killing it right now—total legend status. Much respect.🙏 Man, my bassist is basically taking up half the entire mix. It’s wild.🙏🙏 Honestly, he’s got that classic Frenchman look—just plain ugly.🙏🙏
Look, I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but maybe hold off on the celebration until you double-check that everyone you're looking for is actually CONFIRMED on the list. 🤷

I don't really get it🤷 considering it’s easily their best track from the last two albums combined🤷 maybe it’s just too upbeat? Like, they can't pull it off live because it doesn't fit the whole vibe of the show🤷
No need to go digging for proof, either. Someone actually put together a stat breakdown recently showing how much they played certain songs during their tours over the last couple of years... and this specific track hasn't shown up on a single setlist once🤷
Samuel Murphy6 said:First things first, we gotta figure out when they're actually playing "The Sun Smells Too Loud." 🙈 If they don't play, then who cares? Honestly, it’s not that deep. 🙂 Hey, that guy from just above...
I mean, let’s be real—they seriously never actually play them. Like, ever.🤷
Susan Clark10 said:The organizers over in Austin are basically saying they just don't feel like showing up... seriously, what kind of excuse is that? 👎
Yeah... they could have just stayed home instead. ☕
The savior of American music hit up VIP to drop a review for Helmet, claiming they have "perfect dynamics."🙂🙂🙂
What kind of freaking dynamics are we even talking about here?!?!🙂 If there’s one thing Helmet definitely DOESN'T have, it’s dynamics.🙏🙏 🙏 Seriously, once again, just totally off base.🙏
