Panzer Division Marduk Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Happily I am going to see Nuclear Assault that day, so I won't have to endure the blanket media coverage of that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole population of that city may flee to the Jersey shore until this stuff(not music)is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go just to see him. However, there's supposed to be a kick-ass party in Toms River, so I'll pass on the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob D Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The London show is slated to feature Paul McCartney, U2, Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Madonna, Elton John, Sting, Annie Lennox, Dido, Keane, Muse, Scissor Sisters, Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Robbie Williams, R.E.M., Razorlight, Velvet Revolver, the Killers, the Cure, Geldof and Snow Patrol What a crap line-up. There are only 4 names there that I would want to see live. Luckily for me I have tickets to see a proper R.E.M. concert the week after. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me I have tickets to see a proper R.E.M. concert the week after. 8)REM is a total sell-out. I remember when they were an up-and-coming band playing first time at the Pink Peppermint Lounge on 14th st. They were all energy in the Who style. Now we have all the studio gizmos to drown out what might've been there. Maybe they needed the Beatles or Stones producer. It's been all downhill since the first album. I've no patience for these festivals. Too much waiting around between acts who only play 25 min each. Yes, I'm old. And cranky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
