Top 5 Concerts Attended 2005
- Tom Petty/Black Crowes - Pine Knob. This wins out because it was my first Petty show, filled with da hits, along with the Crowes (second time last year) playing lotsa first album tracks. Also, Pine Knob (DTE Energy Theatre) is a fab place for an outdoor show, complete with the huge guitar beers.
- DMB - ACC. Best Dave i've seen, great seats, live bootleg a week after courtesy of the Bri Man.
- Pearl Jam - JLC. I heard the t.dot show was a bit cooler, but i wasn't at that one!
- Black Crowes - Kool Haus. My first taste of the Crowes in a while, complete with a heavy dose of Southern Harmony, and live CDs right after the show. Far fucking out.
- The Crue - JLC. Not as good as the Dr. Feelgood tour back in their prime, but a welcome spectacle nonetheless back onto the concert scene, save for Vince's sporadic vocal dropouts.
So guess I should of looked thru that Zeppelin magazine more before I dabbed it as a dissapointment thinking it only had that half an article on the boyz..sat down to read it 2nite and found that more into the middle of the mag theres a HUGE "Been a long time" article on the trio included w\pics then and now,a little interveiw session filled w\all of them,and their inspirations.beautiful.great read.batman out!

Posted by: metal vagina on January 26, 2006 06:06 PMVagina,
maybe if you'd threw on a little Zucker or something of that sort, your nights wouldn't end with simply makin' out and fingerin'some chick! maybe, just maybe, you might even get laid!
but don't take my word for it, continue with your Flock of Seagulls and Scorpions.....good luck shithead!!!! lol
Posted by: Steve-o on January 26, 2006 04:56 PMWith such standouts as "Zuckerbaby", "Copyright", I didn't realize this was a "Name every Canadian band that has ever existed" contest.
And don't even get me started on Fucking Hayden.

Posted by: Steve-o on January 25, 2006 02:58 PMgimme a break, so his songs aren't the deepest thinking process, and his voice may not be the most fantastic, but does that really matter ;)
The man has style.
I have to agree with Batman and her suggestion of Kim Mitchell...it just wouldn't be Canadian with out those Patio Lanterns.
Posted by: Pauls on January 25, 2006 11:52 AMMEG should be banned for that "Haynous" suggestion!
