Woo! D has always been my favorite chord!

i find it amusing that kevin shields once sued the pub next door for being too noisy!

Awesome, they're coming as close as... Texas? Dammit.

tallguywithglasseson: Awesome, they're coming as close as... Texas? Dammit.

I was feeling your pain until they announced a Seattle date.

/subby.

No SF date?? Booooooo......

/they were awesome last year

5 dates is not a tour.

/disappointed

clkelley5v1: 5 dates is not a tour.

/disappointed



though I'm inclined to agree, I'm not sure MBV would be able to do a viable full US tour outside a handful of the big cities. Especially since not only is nigh impossible for Kevin to release a new album, let alone those endlessly delayed remasters.

FeedTheCollapse: they announced a Seattle date.

!!!

And it's only a few blocks from the office! I am so there - I just hope tickets don't sell out too soon.

/getting one tonight... hopefully

Kodiak Attack: /getting one tonight... hopefully



point me in the right direction if you do as apparently they're not on sale until next week.

Heh, nevermind - tickets don't hit the Internet pre-sale until Wednesday the 18th.

/waiting sucks
//also not a deaf hipster, subby
///yet :)

You bunch of Emo pussys!!!!

I'm pretty sure they could sell out a show in Minneapolis, but they're not coming anywhere else in the midwest, since they did Chicago last time. farkers.

And it was an amazing show.

/wish they were coming back.

Do their drums sound as tinny live as they do on the albums?

gmoney101: You bunch of Emo pussys!!!!

I think maybe I stand corrected...... so said the man in orthopeidic shoes.....

clkelley5v1: 5 dates is not a tour.



disagree.

gmoney101: gmoney101: You bunch of Emo pussys!!!!

I think maybe I stand corrected...... so said the man in orthopeidic shoes.....

Yeah, I think you've got a little misdirected hate there. Shoegaze doesn't have much in common with emo at all.

irockalot: Do their drums sound as tinny live as they do on the albums?

from the bootlegs I've heard, the drums do sound fuller. Loveless' drums sound "tinny" as they do due to Colm being sick and the drum tracks largely consisting of loops of what they had recorded from him at the time.

I'm sure this kid is waiting in line for tickets as we speak.

Saw them here in Chicago in October. I thought I'd see what happened if I removed one earplug for a second. I am now deaf in my left ear. Great show.

Kali-Yuga: I'm sure this kid is waiting in line for tickets as we speak.

Where did this My Bloody Valentine = emo thing come from?

Are you morons confusing them with My Chemical Romance? Christ, the difference between the two crowds will be enormous.

nickxero: Are you morons confusing them with My Chemical Romance? Christ, the difference between the two crowds will be enormous.

that and probably Bullet For My Valentine.


but then again, this is Fark: Where any song that is not about how much you want to \m/RAWK!\m/ and is even slightly less depressing than MMMBop = Emo.

nickxero: Are you morons confusing them with My Chemical Romance? Christ, the difference between the two crowds will be enormous.

I'm so old I don't even know who My Chemical Romance is.

Rapmaster2000: Kali-Yuga: I'm sure this kid is waiting in line for tickets as we speak.

Here at Fark, if it isn't AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, or Rush, it is therefore emo and sucks. Hey, here's a clue Farkers: try listening to something other than the "classic RAWK" station. You might actually find some stuff you like.

I guess I should have figured. MBV has been around for about 20 years, and yet the Fark music experts don't even know who they are.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. LIMP BIZKIT RULEZZZ!!

The last time I saw MBV is was the most painfully loud experience of my life. The air moved by the speakers alone made it seem like there was a strong breeze in the club and I felt like someone was playing my sternum with a kick drum pedal. People were passing out in the audience and my tinnitus lasted for days afterward. It was pretty rad.

Deaf hipsters want to get murdered in a mine?

No. No. No.

My wife is a huge fan. I listened to Loveless a few times, kind of enjoyed it. Not really my thing, but I could appreciate it and what they were doing.

They came through Chicago last year and I bought tickets for us. I knew it was going to be loud. My wife told me, I read reviews of their live shows. Loud, ok, I got it. I had no idea. The earplugs worked, thankfully.

But fark them. Loud doesn't bother me, some of my favorite bands are played LOUD and I enjoy them fully. But, I got the feeling from their little 30 minute attack on the audience at the end of the show that they were just flipping us off. Like I had blown around 70 bucks (with fees and all) for them to crap in my face and ask if I liked it.

No, I don't. It instantly turned me off, and my wife now knows better than to play anything by MBV in my presence. She can dig them all she wants. To me, they'll always be a group of wankers who took my money.

You'll be right in saying things like, "You should have left" or "You sound like a gay." Don't care. Screw em.

Ah yes, the "apocalypse" section of You Made Me Realise that people have been talking about. I think it's more of an experiment with massive amounts of sound rather than a "fark you" to the audience, though if you're not aware that they do this beforehand, I could see how you'd be royally pissed off.

/prepping myself for the sonic experiment
//going to stand in front of a turbine for a while

I for one am looking forward to the YMMR Holocaust.

Kali-Yuga: I'm sure this kid is waiting in line for tickets as we speak.

Aaaand you have no idea what you are talking about.

FeedTheCollapse: I for one am looking forward to the YMMR Holocaust.

Oh yeah, it should be quite an interesting experience. I've felt kick drums go through me before at a Wolf Eyes show (which was pretty awesome), but this is probably going to be that x1000.

Brentmeister General

to each their own and all that, but they definitely weren't trying to piss anyone off. that's just what they do. there'd likely be people a lot more people feeling they blew $70 or whatever if they DIDN'T do that at the end of their set. that being said, i wouldn't recommend any mogwai shows for you in the near future.

Rapmaster2000: Kali-Yuga: I'm sure this kid is waiting in line for tickets as we speak.

Stupid people who know fark all about music history. Emo has become a meaningless catch all word for anything.

It's the new "ghey".


/mbv is stoner music for aging hipsters.

I just read this whole thread thinking "My Bloody Valentine" was "Bullet for my Valentine," and couldn't understand why the music snobs were defending a young band.

Now I see the error of my ways...

For the uninformed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bloody_Valentine_(band)

As has been said, 5 shows is not a tour. And they could easily sell out multiple shows in lots of big cities. Hell they could probably do a week in NYC AND Chicago AND LA AND Boston AND...well you get the idea.

sweet

while the guys in shellac may disagree, i would consider 5 dates to be a stint on the road.

WhyteRaven74: As has been said, 5 shows is not a tour. And they could easily sell out multiple shows in lots of big cities. Hell they could probably do a week in NYC AND Chicago AND LA AND Boston AND...well you get the idea.

eh, maybe if they were promoting a new album, I can sort of see it. Considering this seems to be more of a lead up to something more, I don't see a "real" tour happening until at least next year.

i saw a noise band show in Chicago, LoveLiesCrushing. It prolly wasn't as loud as an MBV show. It was quite hypnotic though.

Color me clueless. What happened?

Pyynk: During the MBV song "You Made Me Realise", there's a section that breaks down into a noisewall at the 1:40 mark and lasts for about 40 seconds. When they play it live, they've been known to take that noisewall section and make it go for up to 40 minutes.

You Made Me Realise (studio version)
You Made Me Realise (live in '89) (only a 2:15 minute noisewall on this one)

apeiron242: i saw a noise band show in Chicago, LoveLiesCrushing. It prolly wasn't as loud as an MBV show. It was quite hypnotic though.

their Xuvetyn album is probably the best post-MBV shoegaze album.

Got my ticket for the Dallas show this morning. It's going to be loud. I'm going to love it.

Agreed. Thanks for the recommendation on that one in a thread a while back, I've been really enjoying it over the last month or so. I'm thinking of picking up their album Voirshn - are you familiar with it (and can you recommend it)?
