BlackSox13 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) yes, it's sort of a standard "pavilion" structure with a big lawn in the back, similar to the Hollywood Casino Music Theater south of Chicago (My word that's what it's called now?). Probably fits 25000 or so. 25k is a nice size venue and imo, always better to catch bands outdoors when the weather is warmer. Well, as long as the sound system is good and the beer garden is close by. Yeah, that place in Tinley Park has changed names a few times. Last time I was there it was The World Music Theatre but that was 2000 when I went to see Megadeth and The World's sound system was absolutely horrible! Haven't been there since but I'm not far away from Sears Centre so I try and catch bands there when I can. I really miss Poplar Creek since it was outdoors and close by but that's been gone for over 20 years so there's really no outdoor venues close to me any more which kinda sucks.

farmteam Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 01:21 AM) New Macklemore song is great. The video is even better. Is that that Downtown song? I wasn't sure what was worse, the song or the video. They were both just so, so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you mean downtown, which, to me, is your average annoying pop song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find it very interesting, but I haven't really liked any FF tunes for a while now. It is indeed possible to not like free unexpected music.

"Want to go to the U2 concert tomorrow?" "Oh, are we gonna go to it or are they gonna break into our living room and play for us there?"

They toured all over the country and wrote cheap songs that sound like all their other songs about their experiences. It's too bad, too. Wasting Light was one of their better efforts in some time.

At this point it's pretty clear Grohl is more focused on the expansion of the Foo Fighters brand (ie the HBO show) than the music itself. But the music is still enjoyable, even if it's not as good as the Colour and the Shape or There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
