Cox is a world famous DJ but The Prodigy is the band that introduced industrial/electronic in the 90s.

These are DJ's? I don't know Carl Cox or Prodigy

Carl Cox is probably the most respected interational DJ of all time. And you definitely know the Prodigy if you ever lived through the 90s and ever turned on MTV in its prime.

I watched Billy Strings from the couch last night. Show came to an abrupt end. I had friends there in Charlotteseville and I asked what the hell happened in real time. They said they couldn't tell but that EMT was on the scene taking someone out on a stretcher.

Turns out it was Billy. Dude decided to skateboard between the end of the second set and what would have been encore and broke either his ankle or leg.

I had just said to my buddy the night before that it makes me nervous seeing Billy post all these videos skating and reminded him of the Beastie Boys tour that got canceled because Mike D fell off his bike and shattered his wrist/arm.

Worst jinx ever on my part.

The 90's wasn't MTV in its prime.

Bringing in a lot of crap that had nothing to do with music was what made it so bad.

I got into the lottery for the UFC Washington DC 250 Party next month

free concert with Zac Brown Band outside the White House

but it was good in the 90s. I mean B&B and real world are both classic.
It was after that first wave of success of non music that they jumped the shark and it got bad quick.

Ouch.

"Well, can't say y'all didn't warn me about screwing around on my skateboard!! Saturday night I walked off stage right before the encore I was all zazzed up from a really fun show. I grabbed my board and tried to do a trick I've done a million times (back 180) and landed awkwardly and broke my leg. I heard it snap over the screaming crowd!! Sounded like a damn 2x4. It's been an interesting couple days to say the least complete with the most extreme pain and crazy ketamine trips and operations stuff but the staff here at UVA rules. They screwed me all back together. They are absolute angels on Earth.

I had every intention of carrying on with the tour and Dave Grohling it. He even texted me and offered me the throne! I really don't want to let anybody down, but after some long talks with these doctors, my friends, band and colleagues, my wife etc.. I should probably let this thing heal. I don't believe that I could give you guys the show you deserve coming right out of this surgery and these first few days are really important as far as keeping this thing elevated and letting it heal. Plus I'm all messed up on pain killers and stuff. It's a dumb ass mistake and it's all my fault .. I feel like such an idiot. But what are ya gonna do , ya know? At least I didn't hit my head or break my wrist or something."

Real World?

You mean Fake World?

Every season was:

Moody foreigner of some persuasion

Struggling artist/writer/musician/singer

Conservative person/cop/veteran

Minority/gay/lesbian and really militant about it

Some kind of love interest between at least two characters

Would anyone here be interested in 2 tickets for Eric Johnson for Friday @ Houston House of Blues?

Row F. $75/each?

Geez. That would be a steal. Right now I don't think I can wing it.

I picked up Godsmack/STP, thinking about Beatles tribute band at Paramount playing Help, Killswitch/Machine head, and Spirit world

I saw that email but pretty slim pickings this year. Nothing jumped out at me.

I noticed if you scroll artists, I didn't see Muse, but if I search muse, they are included. So kinda weird.

Best way (assuming you only want local) is to scroll through the venues that populate based on your city.

I'm pissed Muse has damn near every show, except Denver which they play at a AXS amphitheater.

I also don't understand why for example, Breaking benjamin is an option for houston at woodlands, but BB in Denver at Ball arena doesn't show up, even though several other shows at Ball arena do show up.

I'm gonna guess it's because Ticketmaster/Live Nation sucks and is mad at someone in Denver.

I think it's more to do with Anschutz, a man with strong ties to Denver, who owns AEG/AXS.

I'd probably leave after REK, Childers has just never done it for me.

Seeing this tonight in Lieden Netherlands

Saw MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee Saturday at Masonic Temple Theater in Detroit. Really cool venue and they put on a great acoustic set.

Out in Midland on business this week and Clutch/Corrosion of Conformity are passing through tonight - looking forward to some West Texas pure rock fury on a Tuesday

(ok i may have scheduled my trip around it)

Hell yes, new COC has some rippers on it, that show is going to be epic!!!

Why is Billy Gibbons playing bass in COC?

Has anybody ever heard of the upgrade option on AXS? I hadn't until an hour ago when my buddy told me. We have 3rd row BALC center for Joe Russo's Almost Dead tomorrow night at ACL Live. If you're not familiar with them, they are the greatest Grateful Dead tribute band that has ever existed.

So my buddy told me there was a single pair for sale front row dead center Mezzanine. I went online and grabbed them for only $20 extra each and now we'll suddenly be in the single best spot in the entire venue. I cannot freaking wait.

Then Lukas Nelson in Waco Saturday at the Hippodrome Theatre. I'd never even heard of it but apparently it's a 100 year old building and small theatre. Should be great.
