OT: Anything Goes 27: The Twenty-Seventh Edition

Fair enough on the explanation to my question. I can get your take on how both can exist. I don't necessarily agree on the overrated part, but that's a different discussion. I get the genesis for the thought and that makes sense.

AC/DC is fine but every song just about sounds the same. They just do what they do and it works for them. I have AC/DC Live in my library on my phone and will partake once in a while.

Hot take alert...

I feel like live music is a little overrated. Don't get me wrong, I love music (classic rock and 90s alternative mostly, although some hip hop as well). I generally enjoy myself at them, but never to the level other people seem to. I don't know if I get hung up on the price (tickets/beers) or if I just feel awkward doing the act like your enjoying the music head bob or whatever, but everyone else seems to be having a better time than me. And again, I do like it, just not as much everyone else seems to.

Totally with you. Would much rather drop money on sporting events or travel costs.

My friends wanted me to go to GnR last summer and I had no interest in dropping $80-90 (plus beers) on it. No thanks.

I'm not as ardent of a concertgoer as I was when I was younger, but I still love a really good live show. I'll probably get to one or two a year still depending who's coming through town. Metallica will be my first show since Dierks Bentley at Soldier Field a couple summers ago.

Saw Iron Maiden at the UC last year, will be seeing them against this summer.

I prefer live jazz or classical to rock.

Saw Bob Dylan a few years ago, and I love Dylan, but he couldn't remember half the words to his songs.

I like me some live blues, too.

Selling quick. They've had presales going on since Monday or Tuesday this week.

I didn't realize that. Doh.

I first saw them back in 1989 at Poplar Creek on the Justice tour. Not a fan of their newer stuff as much, though the new album sounds pretty old school.

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow at 10:00 when the general sale starts, but I'm not going to go if I can't get on the floor. Which seems unlikely I guess.

I think the floor sold out as of this morning.

I'm jealous you got to see that tour. Would've loved to see them back in that era.

They might have held some back for the general sale. Probably not a lot though.

Good point.

Shocker those guys are down or negative on something.

Slak is by far the funniest writer they have and is a great twitter follow

Some of their shtick has just started to get old and wear me thin a bit the last little while. Fels in particular.

Road rage to the max this morning. At a red light. One lane, one way road. Light turns green. Passenger in the car in front of me decides AFTER it turns green that it's not time to get out of the car. Then go into the back seat of the car to get their crap. And THEN go back through the passenger door, and lean over for a kiss goodbye. I lay on the horn when he gets back in the front to lean over, and don't let off until she moves. And then he looks at me like I'm the dick. Give me a ****ing break you inconsiderate *****. It's not even cold out, raining, or anything. Idiots.

Yes, Fels is the most self righteous of them all and can be very tiresome.

He's just never happy about anything. There's always some smug, snarky, negative response to stuff all the time. Super tiresome.

That building is a total crap hole.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yes it is

The duct tape carpets really stick out as laughable once you start walking around various floors
