Anyway, rapidbison42... Thanks for the heads-up about this show. If you stumble upon anything else like it, you should definitely start a new thread. 😁

I showed up just before Garbage started their set. We actually stepped out to grab some beers, but I still managed to catch about 90% of the show. 😁
Since they were playing alongside the Dow Chemical brothers, I was happy enough to stick it out. Honestly? Pretty satisfied. It was a solid performance.
I only caught one song by Snoop Dogg because we went on a second beer run, and by the time we got back, we’d moved closer to the stage. As for SD, it kind of bummed me out... 😬

Then the Dow Chemical bros came on... Between the inevitable shoving to get closer to the stage, we basically caused an international incident, though it got sorted out pretty fast. After that, the rest of the "crew"—me and the rest of the crowd—just vibed through the rest of the show. It was great. Actually, it was genius! Lasted about an hour and a half. An hour and a half of pure fun.

Don't even ask about the setlists. 😁

Just wanted to tell the people who couldn't make it that they missed out on a killer night of fun and overpriced beer. 😁

P.S. Some maniacs were doing motorcycle stunts between Garbage and Snoop Dogg. 🙏 🙏 Those guys have balls of steel. 😬

P.P.S. Like Roose Bolton says... A bunch of teenagers... 😬 Not that I cared or anything. 😲 😁

That short??? I guess it's a shame... Though I suppose some people will be happy since they have to work Friday morning. 😬

rapidbison42 said:About 50 of us from San Francisco are heading out...

There might actually be more Americans there than the local crowd. 😁
But hey, I guess that’s just how it goes with concerts that aren't too far from home. 😬

lonebison37 said:When does this actually start, sorry, when does it *actually* start? Does anyone have relatives in New York City I can just text for an update? 😁

Supposedly at 7 PM. I saw it on the MTV Island site, so I think that's what they're saying.

I managed to talk my group of friends into it, so we're all heading up there together. 😁

swiftmaker20 said:Is this thing actually legit? Like, am I 100% sure about this concert? I don't want to show up and find nothing but pigeons in an empty parking lot. 😁

Also... when does this even start? Anyone got a link? God, what a mess... 😁

And is it really free? Because my family and I are definitely working with a pretty tight budget right now. 😬

wiredfalcon2 said:Dammit, why does this have to be on Thursday when I’ve got an exam at 8 AM on Friday?
Unbelievable.

😬 😬

Just fail out of college like I did. Then every day will feel like a weekend—except Sunday, obviously, because Sunday is a dead day. 😁

Is this actually legit? I mean, is the show 100% confirmed? I don't want to drive all the way there just to find a bunch of pigeons sitting where the stage should be. 😁

Also... when does this thing even start? Someone send me a link. God, what a mess... 😁

That was an awesome show, especially since it didn't cost me a dime. I might have to crunch some numbers and see if I can make this a regular thing. 😬

Daniel Sullivan352 said:What do you guys think about the new album?

Nothing good. I listened to the single and my first thought was just, "Man, this sounds exactly like the last album!"

Their debut had a few decent tracks, but I feel like they've just been getting worse and worse since then.

Gregory Walker15 said:They’d actually make a pretty decent band.😁
I think I might go pick up some drumsticks right now...

I'm just waiting until my next trip to New York City to grab my own copy. Until then, I guess I'll just be sitting on the fence.😁

So, can anyone join that band, or is it just going to be a bunch of forum trolls? 😬

velvetcrane85 said:... lasts 3 days...

Look, the first two days are just some random nonsense events, and then there's the actual concert on the last day. Just go check the website and read it, for crying out loud. 🙄>

Olivia Martinez3 said:Look, South by Southwest - Austin is kind of garbage, but since we don't really have much metal worth seeing here in the States, it's actually pretty decent!

May 25th. Boogaloo

I don't give a damn about SXSW. 😁

Wait, you haven't even listened to it yet??? 😲 😲

Gregory Robinson71 said:Not bad, I guess. Decent experience.

I keep hearing this forum is a total mess. Is it actually that hard to leave? 😁

Just look at Black metal vs. garbage. 😁

Gregory Robinson71 said:just a clone of himself 😎

Relax, I haven't even reached that level of crazy yet.

I don't even have anyone on my ignore list right now. 😁

I hadn't thought about doing that for two years until yesterday... 😂 😂 But maybe I'll just go ahead and clear them off my ignore list too. 😁

Gregory Robinson71 said:Yeah, sure... nostalgia... everything used to happen sooner back in the day... 😁

Just whose clone are you supposed to be? 😁

Gregory Robinson71 said:I honestly have no clue... we need to fire these moderators. They aren't doing their jobs right at all.

Man! And here I was, actually volunteering to be a mod... 😁

Gregory Robinson71 said:It would be a shame if it wasn't...

or 😲

maybe Americans just teamed up, caught on, and decided to mess around in their own way 😲 😲 😁

I doubt it... They're probably too pre-depressed for something like that. 😂

When is someone actually going to close this thread? 😁

That thing is a total beast... He's just trolling at this point, haha... 😁
