The Bottom Line n/a
Off and running... * So Pearl Jam tickets went on sale for the shows here last week. Two minutes after they were on sale, the best available was section 8, the second level of pavilion seating. SO basically they're telling me 5,000 tickets of the lower pavilion seating was sold in 2 minutes? I'm not buying it, not when there's two shows on sale at the same time. Of course, because the second show was announced in advance (and not put on sale only after the first show was sold out, as is usually the case), I want to know why I don't have fan club tickets for both nights. TicketMaster is so by far the most corrupt business in this country. I bet most Boston area brokers have great section 2 seats available (read: section 2 is lower pavilion, center stage). Oh, and how much were my $38 section 8 tickets by the time TM got done bending me over? FIFTY FOUR F*CKING DOLLARS!!! Ugh, sorry I needed to rant. Either way, if you're hitting the Boston or New York shows, I shall be there. You may be able to meet THE king of rock, in the flesh. :) * Note to Less Than Jake: Please, for the love of god, get a brain and get off that craptacular Good Charlotte/New Found Glory tour. It's embarrassing. * Damn, I was so disappointed to hear that DMX is retiring after his next album. How will the hip hop community EVER get over THAT loss? Now, if only Ja Rule would follow him... * Kind of a shame the new Hootie and the Blowfish disc only came in at #46 in it's debut week. I guess that's what happens when you take five years off. For all the crap they got slagged with, they weren't a bad band at all, for what they were. * AC/DC played their only US show of 2003 this past week, and they made sure the setlist had a bunch of surprises in it (three songs from the highly under-rated Powerage album). It's too bad they did this set for a bunch of contest winners and industry execs though. * Kudos to Rolling Stone for an excellent article on Avril Lavigne. It tried to be fair but honest, something no other article about her has done since she broke last summer. * Boo to Rolling Stone for having a big write up on what's wrong with corporate radio. Gee guys, when you put such "unknown" acts like 50 Cent and Avril on your cover, it really puts you in a position to criticize radio for pushing them, and vice versa. * There is NOTHING cooler than the fact that I will soon be able to walk out of every show I go to with a soundboard recording of it...NOTHING. It's about friggin time someone took their head out of their a*s and realized how much of a money maker this could be...a CD of the show I just saw beats the sh*t out of a T-Shirt for a souvenir. * Do you think the Dixie Chicks alienated ALL of their inbred hick fans with their comment, or just SOME of their inbred hick fans? (NOTE: I obviously realize that not all Dixie Chicks fans are inbred hicks, but let's face it, most of them are. This is what we call a joke. Before you get all PO'd at me, relax. Otherwise I shall be forced to taunt you a second time!) * Boston called their new album Corporate America...damn that's funny. * When the hell did AFI become so big that they are able to have a #5 debut on the Billboard charts? I saw them 6 years ago and was completely unimpressed with them. I can only hope they have actually come a very long way and didn't debut so high just because every record store in the land put their disc on sale at mad cheap (read: $5-8) prices. * Yay, Linkin Park, aka BEAVIS BAND, is back with a new album/single. Chester "Hot Blooded" Bennington sounds more like Beavis than ever. What an awful band, can someone explain to me what people see in them? * LOVE the new System of a Down video, directed by Michael Moore... and lastly, * Whispers in my ear tell me to look for that Aerosmith blues album by August at the latest...  |
