I'm a little jealous. I've always liked Primal Scream since I first heard them in the early 90s. Never had the chance to see them live though.
I just checked for more tour dates but California is the only North American stop. Anyway, I think it'll be a really good live show.


I got tickets to see Sinead O'Connor in December. She's doing 2 nights at a venue with max capacity 480. Should be a pretty intimate performance. In the past I've seen here at medium to largish sized venues. I've found some youtubes of recent performances and she is looking and sounding really good. I think her treatment and meds are really helping her.

I'm going to see the Foo Fighters on Dec. 13 :wiggle:
It was funny, I've been moping around about not going and this morning I was chatting with this friend on fb and told him that I wasn't going cause I didn't want to spend more money and that I wasn't going to do the presale today. He told me that he would try to get me a ticket and just got confirmation a moment ago. Thank you internet and thank you fb for letting me contact old friends or classmates I didn't even remember (like my friend, seriously I still don't remember him but we've become friends thanks to fb)

I'm embarrassed, but I'm going to see Metallica on March 27. I'm going with the same friend I went to Jane's, and basically for the same reasons. Just to see the band we liked 13 years ago.

I've seen Metallica a few times over the years. I haven't seen them recently, but enjoyed the shows I went to. The last time, I saw them was in the mid 90s. It'll be a good show, Larry. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

I like Metallica but they're in a comfortable rut as a live act, imo. They've been kind of playing the same basic set for the last 10 years, that is, heavy on the 80's classics, Enter Sandman and maybe one or two other tunes off the "black" album, a couple off Death Magnetic, Fuel from the 90's Load albums, nothing from St Anger. I don't know if Magilla Gorilla has toned down the crabcore shtick though.

Not too much booked in at the moment - off the top of my head, Ry X, Damien Jurado and Pearl Jam. Might grab tix to see The Orwells but that whole scene looks a little too young to an old guy like me nowadays.

Yup, that's why I'm somewhat embarrassed. They've become really lazy, apparently.

However, they're now doing a "Metallica by Request" tour, where supposedly the audience votes beforehand on the setlist. Here is the current vote for the show in Santiago. I'm glad to see "Ride the Lightning" there. I don't know how much Metallica will stick to these voting or if it's even legit, but I checked out the voting for both shows in Argentina and they're quite different. So yeah, hopefully they won't play Frantic and St. Anger.

So I guess the line marks how many songs they'll play in the set? Everything above that line has been regularly played for years now except Orion which they included as a set closer just for the last year or two. I'd love to hear them play "Eye Of The Beholder" again. That hasn't been played since early on the "Black" album tour around '91. Also funny, the two very bottom songs rank high in my personal Metallica favorites.

A couple weeks ago I caught Don Carlos at the Ashkenaz in Berkeley. GREAT show. Nice to see one of the reggae legends in such an intimate venue. Sound was incredible as was the horn section. Don still has a voice of an angel. I think I'm gonna grab tickets to Pato Banton there also, my GF loves him and it's the day before her birthday. :cool:

So far, i am going to see Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Gary Numan.

I saw that primal Scream has some Canadian dates in the spring, so I will likely get tickets for that.

I wanted to get tix for kraftwerk in March but it is sold out. :mad:

If it's like the concert I saw late last year in LA, Primal Scream is touring without all the backup singers, etc they had in Europe and the UK earlier in the current tour. It's just the core band and it was a really strong show.

Going to Roky Erickson and The Black Angels in 2 weeks, then Pixies and Cults a few nights later. Other than that I have tickets to Black Lips and might go check out White Denim. Not much else on the horizon.

Seeing Neutral Milk Hotel too, this Monday, super excited. I saw Jeff Mangum a year or two ago by himself. It was great but obviously stripped down and I never thought seeing NMH was a realistic thought, so I'm really stoked.

Also funny, the two very bottom songs rank high in my personal Metallica favorites.
Today I had to vote for the songs I want Metallica to play in the show. They'll play 18 songs: 1 new (chosen by them) and the other 17 by popular vote. These were my choices:

"Serious" (i.e., the ones I actually want to hear)

1. Fade to Black
2. Seek and Destroy
3. The Unforgiven
4. Creeping Death
5. Ride the Lightning
6. For Whom the Bell Tolls
7. Whiplash
8. The Four Horsemen
9. Fight Fire with Fire
10. Hit the Lights
11. Hero of the Day
12. Jump in the Fire
13. Of Wolf and Man

"Joke votes" (i.e., the ones I'd laugh at if they play them)

14. The Memory Remains
15. I Disappear
16. Mama Said
17. Turn the Page

I thought about voting for Eye of the Beholder, but standing at 780 votes there's hardly any chance of their playing it (the cut is currently at 3,200 votes.)

I must admit that it was quite fun voting for the songs. I called the friend with which I'm going and we chatted for like 10 minutes while voting. Doesn't happen every day.

I remember being in high school around '86 driving from La Jolla into Mission Beach looking to score crystal while listening to Master of Puppets with some very hardcore people. I never would have imagined the widespread success Metallica would have.

I'm going to get tickets to see these young boys from Ireland. I heard about them about a year ago and have been waiting for them to make the trek to North America which they finally did last week. Unfortunately, I missed their show on the 20th, but saw that they are coming back again in March! :rockon:

The Strypes

Hey, so I'm super lame and late at responding to this... :lol: :scared:

Anyways, I had an idea Larry if you're interested - it would require a little bit of work on your part:

So fans at shows constantly make/adapt flags and wave them at shows and try to get them to the band. The best ones actually get put up at HQ and adorn the walls here:

Might be something cool for you if you want to do something with one of these?
