OT: 2016 Ottawa Music Festival and Concerts Thread

[NyQuil]

I've seen RHCP live on two occasions.

Once when Queens of the Stone Age opened.

I forget who opened the second time.

I was pleasantly surprised by the vocals after all of the horror stories I'd heard.

Both ended up being good shows.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Funeral is definitely one of the best albums of the past 30 or 40 years.

I think you have a lot of stuff to listen to before you can make such an outrageous claim

 

[Ohhh Franco]

Diplo has been added to Escapade. Pretty big get.

I was at the show with Queens of the Stone Age, Mars Volta also opened. I thought it was a great show. RHCP are a great band to see live, lots of solid tunes, long career. Not many rock bands from that era or since that stack up aside from the Pearl Jams, etc.

Right, The Mars Volta. I'd forgotten.

Say Bluesfest tell someone on twitter that there will be no shows on either the Monday or the Tuesday. So they did in fact cut a day this year.

Zero interest.

LOL, gotta be close to 30ish years since these guys put out good music

 

[Babych Moustache]

Zero interest.

You're doing 'your doing' it wrong... for the record.

GnR isn't GnR anymore... Axl is a sad caricature of himself, and Slash is too busy busting out national anthems on his axe.

 

[Smash88]

Saw the Axl show in 2008 I think it was. I was actually very surprised, he was very good that night.

I would definitely go again. Especially if Slash is there too.

If they just played Appetite from top to bottom, I'd be happy.

Just an assumption but it seems like he's the type of guy that probably doesn't like to play his old/good stuff.

Nah, he's always been pretty good in that regard. He usually plays most of the hits.

 

[Daffy]

Axl is such an *******. If you want to see him be 3 hours late to perform, he's your guy.

Pass.

Last time I saw him it was more...


SHANANA...wheezz....(catches breath)...wheezes some more...NANAKneeees KNEEEEES...

(grabs fried chicken from offstage bucket).

"We're gonna make you bleeeed!" (Chicken pieces hit first two rows).

 

[Smash88]

Yeah he's done that in that past. It's always a risk when seeing him but I've seen him twice and both times he came on at the scheduled time.

 

[Daffy]

Yeah I was working there when he came on at like 11 or something. Got home at like 4 am lol. The excuses he was giving for not going on on time were hilarious.

Was that the show when Sebastian Bach opened for him?

If so, he was scheduled to go on at that time. He wasn't late.

I'm not sure but the one I was working he was definitely late. The opening act had to come back out. The fans were just sitting in the concourse waiting.

First he said he needed a massage, then it was I have a cold so I'll need some popcorn. Great excuses lol

Ah ok , yeah not the same show.

But yeah he is an odd fellow, it's too bad, because he's definitely got real talent.

 

[Back in Black]

Come on Summer......

 

[Caeldan]

Honestly Myles Kennedy plus Slash interests me way more than an Axl-led GnR these days.

I think that was also the show where someone dressed up as Slash in the crowd, Axl had them thrown out, and then didn't come onstage to sing Don't Cry so the band had to do an instrumental version.

It was still a great show despite the Axl-isms! I would go see an Axl / Slash GnR lineup, I'm sure with Slash around they'd avoid a lot of the Chinese Democracy stuff
