Good lord, Steve Howe looks like the Cryptkeeper!

I will end up seeing a grand total of four reunion shows this year:

Swervedriver (saw last month)
Polvo (September)
My Bloody Valentine (September)
Original lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd (need more shovels)

I'm going to Iron Maiden this very evening...

The Yes reunion tour has been canceled. Jon Anderson has apparently developed a serious respiratory problem.

/the reunion concert of the summer is Return to Forever. Had 3rd row orchestra pit last night. Stellar.

Vagina

Heh. I'm going to see the Turtles tonight, and I'm getting a kick...

this. ive got shiatty tickets to the atlanta one, but im bringing binoculars.

was rtf even mentioned in this article? im not about to click through some retarded slideshow to find out(or see a picture of candlebox).

Sweet are not Sweet without Brian Connolly.

/polvo, this saturday

Leopold Stotch: I'm going to Iron Maiden this very evening...

I envy you with every fiber of my body!

Up the Irons and have a kick ass time.

/ No mention of Judas Priest, that is blasphemy!

2wheeljunkie: The Yes reunion tour has been canceled.

No!?

Friend of mine saw that last week. Said it was ripping.

CheddarPants: /polvo, this saturday

I have to wait a couple of months, but at least they're coming out this far. Plus, they're playing a very cool venue.

Sitting here staring at my tickets for King Crimson, August 3rd. Must not DIAF before then...

CheddarPants: Sweet are not Sweet without Brian Connolly.

Bittersweet?

saw Maiden 6 days ago in Cleveland, you won't be disappointed.

Sixth row. Still woozy.

taglius: saw Maiden 6 days ago in Cleveland, you won't be disappointed.
Sixth row. Still woozy.

Saw these guys 5 days ago. My 7th time in 20 years & they have never NOT given a 100% kick-arse show.



They do not belong on this list as they never stopped recording or touring.

1) Yes technically didn't regroup. Although Wakeman came back recently, the band has been constantly touring and recording for the last 40 years.

2) Remind me to check out tickets for Heart and King Crimson.

3) Got my Genesis Reunion DVD the other day. It rocks.

GREEN JELLY is doing their first tour in 9 years over this summer.

Saw them last night and I went from "eh.." to "ok...kinda cool" to "THIS IS FARKING AWESOME!!"

Go see those guys if they come near you...it's different

Howe can Yes and Asia be touring simultaneouly?

mcongraff: Howe can Yes and Asia be touring simultaneouly?

Steve will need a break from Wetton with someone who can sing on-key.

mcongraff: Howe can Yes and Asia be touring simultaneouly?

The ASIA tour was supposed end in time for Steve to rehearse the YES tour.

According to a JA tech friend of mine Jon is home and resting.

Keep your eyes open for CIRCA going out on tour since YES isn't.

If you had put into the headline the fact that My Bloody Valentine was one of the bands, there'd be a lot more comments in this thread.

My eardrums havent' recovered from the MBV show I saw over 15 years ago.

Loudest.Show.Ever.

mahavishnunj: was rtf even mentioned in this article?

Of course not. That would require the author to have some depth of taste.

You're going to love the show no matter where you sit. Chick comes out and says that they're still figuring it out. I think they've got it down pretty good after that long a hiatus. It's funny, though, I almost prefer to see them separately. Never miss a chance to see Al or Stanley solo.

Extreme with King's X

New album, too.

Awesome! I've seen them every tour since GUP, in 1984. Agreed with you, they give 100% every show, every tour.

Meh.


/going to see The Meatmen on Friday

Stone Temple Pilots, Heart, Asia, Motley Crue, Night Ranger, Yes, Yaz, My Bloody Valentine, Candlebox and Sweet. Other than Sweet and MBV, all godawful dogsh*t bands. And no mention of The Jesus and Mary Chain, without whom there would probably be no MBV, and who I'm seeing next month. Whoever wrote this list deserves to have every member of those sh*tty bands mentioned cum inside them.

still waiting for someone to put a funny headline to THIS

http://www.antiquiet.com/features /2008/06/weve-got-chinese-democracy-and-its-worth-the-wait/

FTFA: "this second-rate '90s grunge band."


Rarely is a description so spot on.

Steve Howe is a freakazoid fer sure,
but man he is responsible for some of the awesomest licks ever.


Siberian Khatru for the win!!



/down some primo psychedelics
//slip on those headphones, baby!

2wheeljunkie: /the reunion concert of the summer is Return to Forever. Had 3rd row orchestra pit last night. Stellar.

I'm getting my ticket tomorrow morning for the show on Sunday. I'm looking out my window at the venue, across the street. :-)

halmot: Sitting here staring at my tickets for King Crimson, August 3rd. Must not DIAF before then...

Don't know the dates, but I'll be in Chicago for two of those shows. :-)

I cant submit headlines, but heres nine songs from Chinese Democracy if anyone wants'em

not a rick roll (new window)


just trying to spread a little rock

DoctorCal: I'm looking out my window at the venue, across the street. :-)

im having to drive 4 hours for what are probably going to be shiatty seats:( but at least i got 5 free itunes downloads!

/not a real rtf reunion without bill connors. yes, i went there.

I just saw Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman in Kansas City last Friday. Absolutely incredible! Burton's voice sounds great and
Randy can still shred the BTO tunes. Go see them if you get a chance.

Candlebox is far and away the absolute worst live band I've ever heard. They replaced Alice in Chains opening for Metallica back in 1993 (94?) when Layne went back into rehab. Maybe it was just the disappointment of not seeing AiC, but these guys were beyond awful. Ended up getting booed off the stage after the singer told the audience they were a bunch of "farking dicks". You couldn't pay me enough to see those clowns again.

mahavishnunj: im having to drive 4 hours for what are probably going to be shiatty seats

Where?

Yes (maybe?)
King Crimson
Steely Dan
The Tubes
Carcass (but not in the states...yet)
I am going to be seeing some great shows this summer!
/love prog
//love death metal & grindcore

DoctorCal: Where?

atlanta. the seats might not be that bad, its really hard to tell from the seating chart. the 4 hour drive however is going to suck.

JohnnyDreamboat: Yes (maybe?)
King Crimson
Steely Dan
The Tubes
Carcass (but not in the states...yet)

i didnt even know SD, the tubes, and KC were touring. im out of touch.

Ah, so not Indy. Bummer.

I'm going to be working the Steely Dan show (and STP) when they come through.

What, no love for Yaz?

BTW, I had to buy tickets for that shiat-ass band Candlebox just to see The Flaming Lips on their "Transmissions From The Satellite Heart" tour. What was worse was the insult if FL having to OPEN for that steaming pile of quasi-grunge pony loaf.

I saw The Tubes 5 years ago, and it was kinda embarrasing. The stuff Fee Waybill's antics and stage costumes might have been weird and groundbreaking in the 70's, but it was kinda sad to see him do it as an old man.
