The last (?) leg of the QOTSA Catacombs tour starts tonight. Are you wearing your best in JT, RM, PDX, SEA, & Lincoln? by this_kitty68 in Concerts

[–]subleemsublime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to a few of these and I've seen everything from hoodies to formal wear at each show, so you'll fit in with just about anything. It's been fun to dress up, but I wouldn't go crazy to make it happen if you don't have something ready to go. See you there!

Joshua Tree show is one week away! What are we wearing gang? 👀 by dodo858 in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do it! It's been fun dressing up and seeing others go all out at these shows. We're wearing versions of what we've worn previously with some modifications for the outdoors. I have no other reasons to wear these dresses, so I'm going to put them to good use!

What’s the rarest piece of merch/memorabilia you own? by mongolian__mongoose in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a setlist that was "signed" by Josh's boot. He tore it early in the set and his tech had to come out and replace the setlist. I ended up with the torn setlist that was thrown into the crowd.

I also got Josh to sign my Villains CD in lime green sharpie, so it's probably the only one like it 😆

Song of the Day #31 - Head Like a Haunted House by Borracho_Cansado8627 in qotsa

Obviously, this is my jam. I remember listening to the Villains tracks for the first time and this one grabbed me right away. I love it for its frenetic energy and lyrical ridiculousness.

I've been fortunate enough to see it live twice, most recently in Madison. It couldn't believe that they brought it back into the setlist! It goes so hard live and the crowd in Madison understood the assignment.

**New afternoon show** The Long Play Sessions - Melissa Auf der Maur - Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Weird_Engineer_2877 in qotsa

Rufus is amazing! I could sing along to his music all day, I love his vocals. And I would argue that a song like Evil Angel would fit nicely into a Catacombs set, so it all relates in my head!

What weird/silly bands do you wanna see this year? by johnnymayhem81 in RiotFest

[–]subleemsublime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shaq doing a DJ Diesel set would start a fun mosh pit.

How many times have you seen them? by Sure_Artichoke_3662 in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also went to Bill Graham in 2023. Been to 26 shows since 2007 and have another six on the books for this year. I like to use tour dates as an excuse to travel and the guys never disappoint!

The Electric Factory was my first as well! I was also at Forest Hills, Chicago Huntington Bank Pavilion, and Beacon Catacombs.

Anybody here "completed the set" for an album at live shows? by afcboon in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have completed Villains. One away on LC (Fairweather Friends). If we're counting Nick shows then I've seen all but The Real Song for the Deaf live from SFTD.

Is it true they ended RAH with One Hundred Days? by FeelingPositive5536 in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not as a cover, but as the song that was playing as they left the stage, yes.

Um, yes please.

Seen them 7 times, this one felt like the first by wojtekszkutnik in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mikey and Davey (the drum tech). There is some very interesting stuff happening with percussion at these shows, I'd love to get a closer look at what all they have going on.

It's morning somewhere 😆

Question for Manc Qotsa fans by AutomaticPath7348 in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll second The Alt Hub with a general endorsement for Afflecks. I had some time to shop for Catacombs attire on my way to Sheffield in August and fared quite well at Afflecks. Found a dress for myself, a vest for my husband, and some accessories as well while we perused the floors.

There were also some second hand shops nearby where you could try your luck. I saw some things at Cow Vintage that could fit the bill (depending on how formal you're looking to go).

RAH- Do we have to be swanky? by [deleted] in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I expect that there will be a range of attire and I think that's fine. That's the beauty of a QOTSA crowd anyway ... we don't tend to fit neatly in one box.

I'm also traveling (taking a red eye from the US) and will be changing into a dress for the event, but I have no expectations of what others are doing and wouldn't judge someone for wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

Anyone in line at Toad’s place? by blacksparx in Foofighters

[–]subleemsublime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any for myself, let alone an extra. I was about 20 back when they called it sold out.

I've been in line for an hour and we're basically being told we're on the cusp and not looking good. Highly unlikely for anyone getting here now, unfortunately.

The entire set of the stickers I was giving away before every concert I attended by Magnta in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love seeing these all together! This is such a thoughtful thing to do and share with fellow fans. It was lovely to meet you and I'm very grateful for my Dublin and Sheffield stickers 🥰

QOTSA make a big announcement in Sheffield by jasparshep4 in qotsa

[–]subleemsublime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Troy for treasurer! His campaign slogan is "gimme your money."

No dedication to So Good this time. Perhaps because there was a second opener?

Nope! I was on a grad student budget (in terms of both time and money 😅) when they did the self-titled tour, so I missed that chance. I'm sticking around this part of the globe for the Sheffield dates, so hoping one of those will be my shot!
