I don't see Rush on there; WTF subby?

 
AmStatic1 [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 09:59:50 PM  
Holy Crap! Triumph! Sat 3rd row in 87. Lights came up, explosions..don't really remember much after that.

And on the 8th day, God grew a mullet, and he saw that it was GOOD!

Celine Dion?

/Rush FTW

Chilliwack??

 
IronTom [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 10:14:41 PM  
Wow, Tesla will be there too. This would be a good time to be independently wealthy and just go off to the concert.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 10:15:54 PM  
Triumph?


Umm, Sure. Subby, pass what you're smoking please. I'll be wanting some when I go to see Rush this summer.

Oh my God!

Armored Saint is playing!! Yay.


/Bought one of their tapes from a bargain bin in the early 90's, remember feeling that I did get my $2 worth.

I just saw George Jones live in concert tonight.

Suck on that!

 
RagingLeonard [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 11:13:37 PM  

I saw Triumph at their "height". On the Allied Forces tour.
They sucked then. I can only imagine how much they suck now.


scottbody: I just saw George Jones live in concert tonight.

Suck on that!


Awesome! I saw George a few years ago. It was a religious experience.

The only problem is that he did a medley of his greatest hits. I would rather hear three full songs than 35 seconds of 15 songs.



 
scottbody 2008-04-17 11:20:34 PM  
He sang almost 2 hours. Amazing for his age.

I'm glad that I'm no longer in Canada.

I see no Crash Test Dummies. Subby is a liar.

 
Highroller48 [TotalFark] 2008-04-18 01:18:07 AM  
This concert needs more Trooper.

/But Triumph is (was? we'll see) pretty goddamned awesome.

I would be lying if I said I just threw up in my mouth a little. Because I actually just heaved all over the floor.

My opinion: see it, smell it, but try not to step in it. The janitor will be here in a minute with a bag of sawdust.

Speaking of Rush, I have a major dilemma: do I go see them this summer at Riverport (f*** "UMB Bank Pavilion" or "Verizon Wireless Amphitheater" or whatever they're calling it this summer) in St. Louis this June, or to my wedding? I've never seen Rush before, but it's one thing I want to do before Geddy Lee is too old to wail.

Nothing says 80's metalfest like the band EXTREME

/The most extreme thing about them was their name

 
Jacques Lestrap 2008-04-18 05:11:10 AM  
Crowbar?

/Anvil?

/wants to see the new Anvil documentary. looks funny. (hotdocs.ca)

madden101: my wedding?

Is it too late to change the wedding venue?

 
Jacques Lestrap 2008-04-18 06:18:24 AM  
Spoons?
Extras?
Lisle?
Edward Bear?

/finished now
//thanks

Jedekai 2008-04-18 06:35:32 AM  
Greatest 80's metalfest, huh?

Okay, answer where these guys are:

Venom
Mercyful Fate
Vader
Bathory

... And then I'll only go if Quothorn and Cronos simultaneously behead Sebastian Bach and Bret Michaels.

That would be so awesome I would have no choice but to crap my pants while giving fifteen minutes of mandatory applause.

They were a better band than those two songs that everyone latched onto. Nuno Bettencourt is one of the best guitarist of all time! His solo album Schizophinc is great

I know that they're a rock band, but in a sea of cheesiness (albeit enjoyable cheesiness), they're the cracker.

/unintended puns FTW

 
HeadbangerSmurf [TotalFark] 2008-04-18 07:02:40 AM  
I'm wondering if my wife will divorce me if I skip her birthday to go to this. Damn. There are so many bands I want to see on this list it is just unreal.

 
The Glass Dragon 2008-04-18 07:44:31 AM  
No Rush? Submitter duped me.

/likes Triumph

 
PYROY 2008-04-18 08:29:24 AM  
Subby misspelled ever, I notice these things.
