🤣 Okay, now this is just getting ridiculous 😁

Come on, explain yourself so we can all have a good laugh too! 🤷

Charles Hill2 said:Disturbed and Mastodon are

I was actually just about to mention that Crack the Skye totally blew me away right from the first listen—well, maybe the second!—but from what I've heard so far, Disturbed just isn't really my thing at all. 😬
edit: though I have to admit, Blood Mountain didn't exactly click for me immediately. Honestly? Not even a little bit! 😳

Just grabbed my ticket today! 👋
They asked for my ID and scribbled some stuff down from it... I'm not even sure what they were looking for, probably just some registration number or something.

Tyler Doyle said:Oh great, now I bet random fans will try to force themselves to listen to Mastodon too🙄

🙄
I honestly just don't get these kinds of things—you know, those weird fan meltdowns after a concert? Like, seriously, what's the harm in people checking out some great bands (even if that isn't usually their go-to genre)? Or better yet, why not just show up to a live show for a band you haven't heard much of, just because you have a hunch you might actually dig them?

I was actually just spinning The Skye a little bit ago, just to remind myself how incredible that album really is!🙏

jbt Mastodon 👋

edit: It’s definitely going to overlap with something else I’ll want to hear—like Arcade Fire—because honestly, who on earth listens to both at the same time? 😳 :|

I haven't really spent much time listening to The Streets or NERD, to be honest—but man, does this feel like a massive step up! 🤷

I have no idea how I managed to miss your post entirely... but honestly, let’s just leave that link right there so people can dive into those extra details.

A silent disco—maybe because they aren't allowed to crank the volume after 1 AM or whenever the noise ordinance kicks in...

This is such heavy news, even if they tried to lighten things up with a joke...
Gerard Smith (the bassist from TV on the Radio) has been diagnosed with lung cancer.

I honestly can't tell if I've finally lost my mind or if I'm just not used to things being this concise—maybe the track really is just that incredible? Either way, I’ve already blasted the new Trembling Hands 🙏
five times in a row since first hearing it!

Anyway, I totally blanked on sending this earlier, so here goes:
Could someone please explain this whole "sludgy" or "cheap" label? (I feel like people throw similar critiques at the entire post-rock 🙄 genre). Thanks!

GY!BE isn't really the point here, though there are some similarities... but those guys use a million strings and seem way more pretentious. Honestly, Have You Passed Through This Night? doesn't even come close to Dead Flag Blues or Providence..

I've heard people mention Friday Night Lights, but I have no clue what it's actually about or what the vibe is. Does it even fit the music? 😁

Amanda Barrett4 said:And they seriously need to show up!
Plus, that guy in their video... man, he is totally tripping out 🤣

Yeah, honestly? I highly doubt they'll ever bother coming back here again—not after they had about 3,000 people show up at Martha's Vineyard last year!

Maybe you caught that exclusive interview from a few years back! 😬

Nicole Bennett88 said:Wait, since when did a Grammy even become the gold standard?

Well, that’s exactly why it’s such an auto-fail!😁

Megan Miller31 said:Arcade Fire won their Grammy and hey, they're a fantastic band, no doubt about it, but honestly, compared to someone like Alice in Chains last year, they just don't hold a candle 🤷

🙂 🙂
That is a total self-goal 🙏 🙏 🙏

Justin Watson36 said:Seriously though, is Coachella trying to get back at Lollapalooza by booking Pulp?

Megan Miller31 said:I’m honestly starting to think about just selling my ticket and heading to Lollapalooza this year—Coachella has been such a letdown so far.

Look, Coachella and Lollapalooza aren't boxers, they're music festivals!
And hey, I don't mind people bragging about going to Lollapalooza, but I can't help noticing how last year everyone was complaining that the lineup was way worse than previous years and asking, "Who even is The Flaming Lips?" and all that.
As for Jamiroquai—look, I'm not a huge fan either—but we had Billy Idol headlining one of the nights last year, so I really don't see this as being a step backward. Honestly, if there isn't anything else catching my eye, I might actually check this set out! Last year, instead of seeing Billy Idol, I ended up seeing Pendulum, and let me tell you, they weren't my cup of tea either!
😬 🤷

Rebecca Lee said:Wait, didn't they play that at our last two shows? I could have sworn they played it at the local arena 🤷
my absolute dream would be to hear them play "Wake Up" live 😍

I wasn't there myself, but a buddy told me they definitely didn't... though honestly, he might've just been sugarcoating it to spare my feelings! 😲

If they bring out The Prodigy, then they absolutely HAVE to play no Good! 🙂

Carol Rodriguez16 said:Oh man, you've gotta be kidding me, son! 😁
Where's the show happening? And more importantly—when do they take the stage?

I'm so glad you asked! I actually went ahead and double-checked everything—I just had to make sure—and according to Last.fm, there's a concert happening at Ferrari on July 6th. Hmm, interesting... what do you think? 🤔
(Honestly, everything was probably sold out ages ago—and even if it wasn't, we aren't even close!)

I haven't had a chance to go through this second list too closely yet—my bad!—but from what I can gather, it looks like most of these bands barely tour at all. I mean, there aren't any shows on the horizon, at least nothing anywhere near us... unless you count deus, assuming they decide to swing by somewhere near Slovakia! 😁)

Oh man, I would absolutely love to catch Air or Kings of Convenience live—seriously, they're both so incredible! But wouldn't you know it? They don't have any shows on the calendar at all this year... what a bummer, right? So, get this—I had the wildest dream the other night! I dreamed that Kings of Convenience were just playing a surprise set at Harter... like, totally unannounced! Can you imagine? Everyone just absolutely lost it and started sprinting toward the stage—it was total chaos, just a complete mad dash! 🤣

As far as those desert vibes go—hey, what if we suggested Alcatraz as a potential location? Hmm, wouldn't that be something? 🤔 😉

Man, those Đurđevac sands! 😁

I bet there’s gotta be some footage floating around from their live shows out there—the kind of stuff that would be totally worth watching, even if it absolutely kills me with desire! :)

Man, I’d love to sit down and catch all of that right now—really, I would!—but honestly? My bank account is looking a little thin at the moment... just not quite there yet!

I’ve actually never seen them live, but man, I would love to! They’re touring Europe this year, though maybe not exactly in my neck of the woods
Portishead - March? (plus deus, PiL, Beirut)
Belle and Sebastian - in Vienna?
Explosions in the Sky
PJ Harvey
Fleet Foxes

And honestly, I'd jump at the chance to see these guys again
Radiohead
Bonnie Prince Billy
deus
Shellac
Manic Street Preachers

I'd also love to catch Mogwai again—though, let's be real, I'm not sure I'm up for the travel required for them
Kyuss Lives just isn't Kyuss; they're missing Homme, and they aren't exactly playing shows out in the desert😁 :|

Kenneth Rodriguez58 said:If this has already been posted, just skip it, but if not, check this out: http://www.myspace.com/tvotr

The event listing says they're playing in New York City on June 22nd.👍

WAIT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING AND NOT JUST ANOTHER "MAYBE"?!

Larry Morales12 said:Don't talk nonsense! Last year I used my student ID to get a discount because my college ID was being processed. Their website clearly states you can get the discount if you show a photo ID plus either a student ID, a university card, or an official enrollment verification. Since I've actually graduated and am no longer a student, I'm just wondering—if I show up with my old student ID, can they really check if I'm still enrolled or not? That's really my only concern!

Well, that's actually pretty easy for them to verify through the ID number itself... though, honestly, I highly doubt they even bother to check 🤷

edit: *that = how long you're actually eligible for the discount

Honestly, us Radiohead fans are hands down the worst kind of fans 😁

I feel like the vibe on this forum—especially regarding Radiohead and San Francisco—really started spiraling from stuff like this. People probably just wanted to pick on some random female user or be sarcastic toward her because, let’s face it, she clearly hasn't spent her life herding sheep in the Midwest or whatever—it's your call 🤷

The whole point of having "insider" info is that it actually makes topics like this useful for everyone! That's exactly why so many people flocked to this forum in the first place. Sometimes, people would even figure out who was showing up a full week before a concert was officially announced (though, hey, maybe the fact that they stopped doing that says something, right?). I honestly had no idea—and I still don't really get it—that this kind of talk supposedly interferes with the people working the festival 😢
And don't even get me started on the mountain of fake news out there... but it's usually pretty obvious when someone is just passing on rumors through five different people (like me, for example!) 🤷
