Hopefully the date gets changed because I want to see them so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonik22 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Feb 21, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) I saw Chevelle, Sick Puppies, and Janus last night at the Riviera Theater. Janus, a local product, kicked things off nicely - I think they have some real potential. I wasn't too familiar with Sick Puppies, but they sounded pretty good and did a nice job of keeping the crowd involved with the show. I'm definitely going to check out more of their music as a result of seeing them live. Chevelle was a little stale at times, but overall came through with a really nice show. I have seen them a few times and I think they do a nice job, but they pale in comparison to a band like Tool. On a side note, David Draiman of Disturbed was there checking out the show from a private balcony. I love Chevelle and they always put on a good show. I really need to see Tool in concert, thats probably #1 on my list of things i need to do in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm sorta feeling two completely different albums. The new Sade is actually living up to the hype. And I'm really feeling the new Retribution Gospel Choir album too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont know how it was worked out, I never really asked Justin. I know it was not a happy seperation, and it took 5 years to get them back to square 1. They were working on a second album when they broke up, I dont know if they are staying with some of that music or starting fresh either. Epic really liked them out of the gate, it was a shame to see them break up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to see Tool in concert, thats probably #1 on my list of things i need to do in my life. Tool is incredible. Who knows how much longer they'll be touring, so if I were you, I would jump at the chance to see them if the opportunity arises. I've seen them probably six or seven times and while the music is amazing, the overall show is something you need to experience if you're even a borderline fan of theirs. Every time I leave a concert of theirs, I always say that it's the best show I had ever been to. They do not disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the rumors it was about Mick Jagger because Mick is actually the one (uncredited) doing the male backing vocal on the track.

shipps Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I cant stop playing the Wolfgang album but that Vampire Weekend absolutely blows. The reason I liked them before was because they sounded raw and it was just catchy fun music. They shat on that. Also I want to add, if anyone see's Citizen Cope tickets at the Vic for Friday at a cheaper rate than $100 let me know please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Listening to the new Alkaline Trio disc "This Addiction" right now. I really like it. They're consistently so good. They sold out three shows at Metro instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) For older fogeys in the crowd into progressive thrash and well...just thrash period...Voivod was masterful later night in Springfield, Va. Kreator was great too, but Voivod was simply amazing. Tremendous players and the music Denis (Piggy) wrote defined the word unique. They will probably be calling it a day soon, but it was one special last blast from the past. Also, Michel Langevin (drummer, Away) is probably the most down-to-earth musician I've ever met. The guy is amazing. I probably went to 200+ gigs back in the day and this one will stay with me forever. YOU ROCK Michael....and Voivod...but damned, wish you guys coulda played longer.

kwolf68 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks Critic. Voivod is one of my favorite bands ever so I had to give 'em a plug. They probably would be called "progressive thrash"...an early influence of prog-metal. I personally like their more technical yet faster, more aggressive stuff (Killing Technology, 1987) than their all-out prog metal stuff (Nothingface), but for folks into superb musicianship, odd time signatures, a desire to use lots of minor keys, innovative song structures, conceptual weirdness combined with hardcore punk, heavy thrash, jazz and just plain ole' boogie woogie rock music, this band has never left me wanting more. But they are so weird sound and unique many people don't get them. They are sorta like a super fast and heavy Pink Floyd (even have covered a couple Floyd songs, including Astronomy Domine).

To be honest, I like Voivod better when they kind of strip it down a little. My favorite Voivod song is Gasmask Revival. I'm not much for the prog-thrash stuff in general. It's interesting, but it doesn't hook me. I'm a sucker for a song with a catchy chorus, a riff that sticks in your head like Super-Glue, and a ripping solo.
