The good thing about being too old for the floor is that you can afford to pay for the VIP balcony seats in a lot of venues. Of course, then you have to deal with Fat Mike calling you "bougey" throughout the show. Worth it.Ronnie said:

You have to be in a certain "state of mind" for Radiohead. Then it all makes perfect sense.Brian Earl Spilner said:This was my second option for this question.Quote:
Overrated - Radiohead. I like a few of their songs, but all in all, I just don't get the praise that is heaped on them.

Bro! I remember when that happened. I watched it play out on instagram and facebook. Sucks Mike sheet the bed. I've been to far too many shows when he's done that. Still, cool bit of history to be in attendance for.Jasomania said:Quote:

Got a story for you ags.
I went to the Warped Tour 25th Anniversary Show in California last year and NOFX was the headliner for the last night. So all day they keep pushing back the sets and making them a little longer so NOFX winds up going on an hour later than normally planned, no big deal, but weird. So their set time finally comes up and nothing really happens for like 30 minutes before Kevin Lyman comes on stage and lets everyone know that NOFX was stuck in Minnesota and they did a mad dash all day to get them a private jet to they could still make it to the show. The venue has a noise ordinance in place so no matter what they would have to end the show at 11 pm. Even with the private plane and a police escort to the venue they were likely not going to get there until 10:30 and get a 30 minute set tops. So while we are waiting they got a bunch of the bands that performed that day to do NOFX covers while we waited. They had the guys from Starting Line, The Used, Goldfinger, Sum 41, and a bunch of others do NOFX songs which they had worked on that afternoon. It was really cool and definitely a once in a life time opportunity to see this massive supergroup.
So we get word they landed and are on their way, we see the police lights and they showed up with 30 minutes on the clock before they'd have to shut down, basically a true warped tour set. Their gear is already on stage and ready to go minus the guitars which the guys had on them. They get on stage tuned up a little bit and started what was one of the most disappointing performances I've ever seen. Fat Mike was clearly drunk and his voice was completely shot. The rest of the band tried their best and they ran through some of their hits but there was a lot of starts and stops and confusion the whole time over what song they were going to play next. It's one of those moments when they could have completely saved the day and they totally whiffed it.

I created my Spring 1992 Aggie schedule to give me Fridays off because Ministry was playing at Numbers on Friday. Really cool concert.
