Ugh.. Modern war music makes me want to cut my ears off and chant..
I never had a problem with CCR’s Fortunate Son or the Stones Gimme Shelter, but if I hear any of those bullshit Toby Keith songs (or 3 Doors Down for that matter) I feel sick.. Hmm..
"wildestallions " wrote:if you hate noise, what the hell are you doing on this forum? markers would blow any other band that could possibly open for dinosaur out of the water and would make it one hell of an evening. the two forgettable bands that opened for them in nyc in december were hard to get through, and i made sure i showed up late the second night.Last time I checked, this is a Dinosaur jr forum. The next time I attend a dinosaur concert and J decides to forgoe "Forget the Swan" for some hour long guitar-smacking-into-amp action, I suppose I’ll have to find a new favorite band..
"King Tubby " wrote:"wildestallions " wrote:does anyone know who’s opening for them? markers?Good god……hopefully somebody much better than that. Wharton Tiers Ensemble would be just fine. Blind Idiot God would be amazing. Magik Markers would mean I’ll be showing up after they finish. Complete rubbish.
I hate that I am telling this story again – but we saw the markers open for dino in boston in the summer of 05 and the lead lady jumped into the crowd and face humped my husband and then smacked me and some others with her guitar.. pretty eventful night.. Regardless, the markers suck- theatrics or not.. I hate noise bands.
You might not have to worry about anything selling out since this is sort of a later leg of the tour. I wouldn’t take any chances though. Buy those tickets asap because you don’t want to have to tell your grandkids about that time you ALMOST got to see dinosaur jr live…

Erin – When Dinosaur played Memphis, TN this past March, it was an 18+ show, but one of the guys on this forum was 17 and he was able to get in with an adult. We actually met at that show and it all worked out because his mom agreed to take him. You could always check on that with the venue if you really wanted to go to the Lancaster show too. If this is your first dinosaur show, this will be the best birthday present ever.
i’ve lined up some friends to go to the baltimore date… it better be all ages
i’ll be at the Lancaster PA and the Baltimore show. Don’t know about the ages though. I think Lancaster is 18+
Yeah, thats why I won’t be at the Lancaster show. Anyway Lancaster is a little farther from me than Baltimore. But I’d love to go to both.
Have you ever been to the Ottobar before?P.S. the Baltimore show HAS been announced as all ages at the Dino Jr ticketing site. amazing.

Hey, sorry if u took my last post the wrong way
I wasn?t accusing you of calling Dino ?sell-outs? at all.
Rather my comments were directed at the whole forum in general (not an angry attack on your previous post), to get peoples opinion on music critic?s and their hypocrisy when writing about groups in different genres of music. (e.g. rapper vs. indie rockers)And in regard to you, ‘holding out’ till Converse brings out a Dino shoe? hey you never know it may happen(considering they’re the same company as nike) …but lets just hope the do a better job than there last effort with a rock band!!!?

Hell, give me seven pair because my ass would be wearing one every day of the week.
Converse is just as big a name now as nike, if in a different arena. It was the "original basketball shoe" and outcasts, artists, frat boys, and cheerleaders alike can be seen sporting them on any given school campus. I can’t say that I know the sweatshop story behind it because my causes are mostly with the animals, but the moment J comes out with purple cow or Greenmind "cigarette" edition chucks, I’ll be modeling them in my profile pic.
actually Im pretty sure converse is owned by Nike now, and for the record all politics aside I’d rather wear Nike’s then Converse, those All Stars are soo uncomfy
Agreed!! All Stars can be a little rough on the heels. For some reason, however, they are like my safety blanket. Although I know nothing about the Nike/Converse merge, it doesn’t surprise me. Thanks for the info bateman!
Tonas: I’ll take the ferocious wolf and you can have the mild, pensive version on the bottom. Next dinosaur convention, the wolf shirts are on.
Ooohhh.. Extra points scored for the tye-died wolf shirt!! I think I’ll take deepsIush’s idea and stop at the truck stop on my way home. We get lots of travel men along I40 – whether it be wolves howling or rebel flags waving – we’ve got em’ covered!
"tonas " wrote:I was just on vacation in Seaside, Or and almost bought one of those shirts because J wears them. I think they’re horrible looking, and can’t understand why J would sport em’. When it came down to it I couldn’t bring myself to buy one, instead I chose the pirate t-shirt that says "Surrender the Booty"Hehehe.. Okay, you’ve done it now!! I MUST go to my local Goodwill and pick up a wolf shirt today. I will post the photo on here sometime soon. I challenge you to do the same.. Although, I doubt the pickings for wolf howling shirts could be near as abundant in Washington state as what one might find in Jackson, TN.
Oh, and the shoes truly are fucking ridiculous looking, so I can’t help but sort of laugh at this entire thread.

"King Tubby " wrote:"Annastefka " wrote:I do think his songwriting talent surpasses his shoe designing one.Well…..check out the man’s dress sense: an open purple, or green, jogging top over a t-shirt with an airbrushed wolf-howling-at-moon, or diving-whales, picture on it.
The funny thing is, the "wolf howling at the moon" motif is tattooed on every trailerpark arm in my neck of the woods – and then I see it emblazoned across the chest of my favorite musician.. hehehe..
It is kind of like Ronald Miller making the African Anteater dance a craze in "Can’t Buy Me Love"
