@jiminstitches I'm off to see them at the End of May in Birmingham, will be the first time! Have King Gizzard the night before too, gonna be a sick few days :the_horns:

[jiminstitches]

@endo i can’t wait!

[jiminstitches]

@T4920 dude that’s gonna be amazing! Interestingly I was reading a Maynard interview and he loves PJ Harvey and that every time he see her live she breaks his heart, though that was cool. The Night Sweats are playing in London in June too so I had to grab some tickets for him

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 I have tix for KIng Gizzard at Red Rocks in September!! Stoked!

[Mizmazzle]

@jiminstitches I saw Tool a couple years ago. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Also, probably the loudest show I’ve ever heard. Think my ears are still ringing

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle oh you lucky, lucky man...

It's a dream of mine to see a show there, is it local to you?

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle @ARNC is going to see Sunn O))) soon, I wanted to join but couldn't get a ticket...

They have a reputation for being insanely loud, and I've heard a story about them endangering the structural integrity of a British heritage building with the sheer velocity of their sound..

Don't forget your earplugs, Andrew...

[ARNC]

@T4920 thanks for the reminder - on my list to order!

I think you’re looking out for returns - let me know if you get lucky.

I’m going to be in Madrid in June,and the last night that we’re there Springsteen will be there,so we couldn’t pass that up. My wife is a huge fan.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 yeah buddy. I’m lucky to have Red Rocks right in my back yard. It’s here I met my wife and also got engaged. Can’t count how many shows I’ve seen there. I hope you can make it out one day. I’ll buy ya a vodka lemonade. A Red Rocks specialty!!!

@Mizmazzle Closest I’ve been to a show at Red Rocks is hearing Slipknot do a sound check. Sounded amazing. Pretty high on my musical bucket list.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 that natural landscape and the spiritual energy of that place is pure magic.

[Nocturama]

Not sure how well known Echo and the Bunnymen are outside of the UK, but for a musical child of the 80’s, this pre-tour warm in front of around 400 people was fantastic. I also bumped into a couple of old friends which made the night.

Unlike many frontmen these days, Ian McCulloch spoke at length between every song - unfortunately he mumbled in a very strong Scouse (Liverpool) accent, so none of us Southern softies understood a word he said…or at least I didn’t!

For reference, one of the greatest songs of the 80’s:

[jiminstitches]

@Mizmazzle ah fantastic that’s great to hear! When did you see them and can you remember what Maynard was wearing, always love his outfits!

[Mizmazzle]

@jiminstitches It was like two years ago. I remember he had on a very traditional punk rock type outfit with long plaid shorts, black boot and suspenders. Also he was rocking a mohawk. They absolutely destroyed the place.

EDIT: Just looked it up. I saw them 1/28/22 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle that's awesome about you and your wife, must be extra special going back there together now..

I'll take you up on the offer someday!

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 Thanks man. Year five for us is coming up this June. We go see the same band that we met at every year they play Red Rocks in June.

[IrishHeart]

@Nocturama Great band. Saw them back in the day. Good to hear they can still put on a show.

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle and which band is this!?
