Also for 2018. I have tickets for OMD and Valerie June.

Always admit your tastes...fuck it

Is fun boy three opening?

I've got U2 tonight, Noel Gallagher's band is opening. Should be fun.

It was a lovely show. The one with least "punch" I've seen from them, but it was good. In a way, it was a bit more intimate. The screen was incredible. They played "Bad", and at the end Bono sang quite a bit of a song by Violeta Parra, the greatest local musical icon, who would've turned 100 years old this month. Also, many references to the fact that they were playing in a stadium that once was a concentration camp.

As expected, they played "The Best Thing About Me", and it was fine. As expected too, Side B of The Joshua Tree was a bit of a downer for most people - no wonder the encore is basically a "please go home happy!" from the band.

All in all, it was a good show. Noel Gallagher was a bit annoyed by the fact that people didn't really interact with him. He mentioned a couple of Chilean players who play in the English Premier League, expecting to get a cheer at least, but nobody here would've understood his Manc accent. I think he was supposed to play Stand By Me, but cut it out from is show.

Damn,, everything's hitting at once...

:) noobs.

It's not often they play Welcome to this World live. One of my favourite Primus tunes. The sound when the slap part comes in after the tapping .... moehahahaha

Yeah, they just started playing WTTW this past year , think it was played only 2 times prior. Been waiting for that one forever! Mrs. Blaileen and On the Tweek Again have been great addition to the recent sets as well.

What really sucks to me is that people keep repeating Primus Sucks, years after Les has said he no longer likes it.

I saw them back in August and some kids, might have been about 15 years old, tried getting a Primus sucks chant going and I just shook my head and they looked at me like I was an idiot that didn't get it

Anyways, I saw Tash Sultana last night and she is pretty awesome.

I took my partner to see Primus at Brixton when she was pregnant with our first. It must have been summer 2011. There was a long queue outside and lots of big clouds of ganja smoke which she wasn't very impressed with.

Then she hated the band and we left kinda early (she's cool but is very angry throughout pregnancy)!. Also, I didn't recognise any of the songs even though i have about 4 or 5 of their CDs!

Primus Sucks dude!

QOTSA on November 9 and god damm i hope Josh is still a fucking hottie on stage.

Metallica tonight. Looking forward to it.

I really enjoyed it, the new album sounds great live and the lighting rig was superb. They had all this monitor cubes which changed every song and were lowered or raised. Very effective and quite stunning.









They did some really odd 'Trip Away' thing on 'Now that we're dead' (I think) where all the band got up and played on various drums. It was really dissappointing to be honest. Plus the sound cut out on EVERYONE half way through 'One' and they didn't come back on stage for about 5 minutes, but carried on where they left off. Lars was his usual twattish self and was playing FAR too fast on a couple of tracks most notably 'Fuel'. As it was in Birmingham (sorry, BIRMINGGGG-HAAAAAAM - thanks James) Kirk and Rob played a duet of War Pigs with the audience singing. They also played Diamond Head's 'Am I Evil' as they're from Stourbridge - good to see they appreciate the locals!

Overall 8/10. Great set list too.

Hardwired

Looks like at least one more U2 show when they play a week's worth of dates next May.

Yeah, I read that. I think it's too soon for another tour. I mean, how much more of the fans' money can these guys take, eh?!

I don't think they have too many big tours left in them and I wouldn't be surprised if they go dormant for about 4-5 years after next year's tour and wrap their career up with a final farewell/greatest hits type tour in 2023.

I'm a bit pissed that they're making fan club members re-up their annual subscription months early in many cases (including mine) to be able to participate in the pre-sale. Plus, a member can't carry over unused pre-sale codes from this year's tour. They're also using the "Fan Verified System" which means you have to link your Ticketmaster account with them as well as giving out a cell number so they can text you your pre-sale code which is really a way to harvest personal data.

That sounds like a reasonable prediction.

i guess they're getting in as much touring as possible before the health problems start kicking in for the band members.
