any specific recs in antigua or lake atitlan? will be in both of those places later this month but don't really have anything specific planned. would like to hike one of the volcanos.
i saw this corny ass motherfucker and thought it was terrible. i don't give a shit if your house burned down, your dog died, and you lived in a van...your music sucks. yes i have strong opinions about this guy, found him utterly detestable. i encourage everyone to not listen.
that is absolutely not true. i personally know multiple people who shelled out $300 a ticket to see a show on the final tour. no way in hell they were going without that "final" label.
remember when they played their last show, like 20 times? really enjoy the contempt they have for their fanbase. we're gonna milk you out of all your money and you'll beg for more.
it's weird they played no songs from aenima and it was still a fantastic show. would have preferred stinkfist over schism as the closer but whatever. we got the pot and they haven't been playing that one much this tour.
danny carey is 62 fucking years old. that drum and synthesizer shit with pat mastoletto was fantastic. intolerance, rosetta stoned, and the fucking grudge lit me up. god damn that was good. didn't expect the backlash from *gasp* standing during a tool show, but fuck all you lame ass pussies behind me. for the most part people took the phone thing seriously and that was nice. the visuals were incredible.
Got some very cheap tickets to see the doobie brothers last night. Found out when we got there that it was a HAAM benefit and there was a slient auction happening and a bunch of VIP tables on the floor. Weird vibe. Michael McDonald is touring with them, which means they played some shitty Michael McDonald songs. Their voices all sounded surprisingly good and I really enjoyed the 5 songs that I was there to hear. The rest of it was incredibly boring.
if i'm in waco it's because i'm passing through on I-35. 25 minutes out of the way is not ideal...maybe not a BIG deal, but probably would prevent most people from stopping.
brown eyed girl came on the radio while we were crusing around in high school and the first line my friend sings, "hey juan amigo", and he really thought those were the lyrics. still think about it every time i hear that song.
downloaded a shitload of music from napster over the jester dorm ethernet connection and played through winamp. i think eventually they set a download limit. i had a shitload of burned cd's and i imagine some of the mp3's that i still listen to are from those downloads.
each time i saw him he was aggressively begging for free booze or weed and would throw a screaming shit fit if you didn't give it to him. every year at bob marley fest he would walk around and try to hit your joint and then literally show you his ass if you didn't comply. had this conversation with friends a few weeks ago and everyone had the same recollection of him being a piece of shit.
inspired by the leslie talk in the other thread...most people forget, or never knew, that leslie was a deranged asshole pervert that sexually harassed everyone he met. i don't know anyone that had an interaction with him who came away from it thinking, "damn, what a great guy and an austin legend".
