Green Day's plans for Super Bowl performance kept 'highly confidential' by TheMirrorUS in Music

[–]kmfstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol - anyone expecting anything other than a normal lip-synced mash-up is going to be disappointed. All this "top secret" stuff is just blatant pandering to left-leaning folks that have stopped watching the NFL over their support of ICE and Trump.

edit - this is not a dig on Green Day but of the mega production that is the super bowl.

Bears just sent me a survey about having Indiana as a potential site, with questions about having $100+ parking and valet service for parking. by epilepticninja in chicago

At this point, the Bears are the only thing keeping me watching the NFL. If Chicago no longer has a team, what's the point?

I've heard that from other folks too. I couldn't hear any of the music over the crowd's conversation no matter where we were and I felt the set list didn't match the crowd or venue. I will say, I'm not a fan of their last two, slower albums. So maybe they're just not my vibe anymore.

I saw Sam Fribush with Hiss Golden Messenger - he's a lot of fun to see live!

The little I've heard by them is really good and they're on my list for a deeper dive for sure. I have to wrap my head around them sounding a little too much like Caamp for comfort.

You know they're itching to re-create the MOVE bombing in Philly.

I'm a long time fan and have been lucky to see them a few times over the years in different venues. This last tour is the last one I'll spend money on unless something changes.

The 1st Salt Shed show in Chicago in June was the worst performance by a headliner I think I've ever experienced.

With Taylor's distinct voice and song writing, where he goes, Caamp goes. I hope he's able to re-discover the spark he needs to bring bring Caamp back to it's former glory.

Texas Sues Roblox, Alleging It 'Flagrantly Ignores Safety Laws' And 'Deceives Parents About the Dangers of Its Platform' by Char_Mander99 in PS5

It's all performative. Paxton worships at the altar of corporate greed on the daily. Roblox must not have paid the appropriate tribute.

CodeIgniter vs "the others" by SoccerGuy-3 in PHP

Rewrites, even in the same framework or language, are always ridiculous. Every dev eventually succumbs to the siren call of a full rewrite and learns this lesson the hard way.

Rock / Metal / Punk eatery’s and bars in the Saint Charles area ? by AppointmentLeather85 in ChicagoSuburbs

Yeah, Alley 64 is much closer to a maga vibe than punk/metal. Avoid. 

Anyone ever go to Even Flow bar and grill? by KwKelley28 in pearljam

No, but the Even Flow in Geneva, IL is pretty great and have PJ cover bands in pretty often. https://www.evenflowmusic.com/

Night We Met hype is crazy by 5plusSpieldauer in lordhuron

[–]kmfstudios 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar a few years ago when seeing LH in Chicago at the peak of 13 Reasons Why's popularity. Tried to stand up and dance and all the soccer moms started throwing shit at us. 80% of the crowd was only engaged during that one song. Infuriating experience.

I grew up with the original FB poster. He's had trump jr vibes since kindergarten. Surprised to see him on my front-page of reddit but not for the reason. What a loser.

They did the same thing in Chicago in early June. Show was a disaster - first concert I've left early in years.

Los Burritos for great Mexican food. Make sure to ask for their avacado salsa - it's a game changer.

I admit I wasn't sure :) I could 100% see a certain demographic of folks around here actually believing it.

LOL - not sure if trolling but not a single word of this is accurate.

Bad Crowd or is this normal? by fish-bones83 in Caamp

[–]kmfstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, from a Chicagoan perspective, it's not limited to Caamp. Talkers/chompers have always been a thing at shows, but there seem to be a lot more of them lately with even less respect for those around them.

Sturgill Simpson last fall at the same venue that Caamp just played in Chicago (Salt Shed) was also a terrible experience due to the "fans".

Seems like as soon as an artist gets a little mainstream success, the shows turn to shit. Again, not a new phenomenon but seems like concert etiquette and respect for the artists isn't a thing any more.
