I’m a big Dinosaur Jr. fan, not some Green Mind, Without a Sound person. I want to hear Little Fury Things. I want to hear Let it Ride. I want to hear Lou shred his vocal chords to pieces singing Don’t. But no. Dinosaur Jr. are punk purists, and they should know first hand what it’s like to not be able to get into shows underage, and should know the feeling of rejection, because that’s what it is, you feel rejected by your favorite band, that comes with having to stand outside and listen through the wall as the fans that are of age have a great time inside packed with other fans. If you’re going to the Memphis, look outside for the pissed off kid with short hair and please buy me a beer.
feel your pain. but not as bad when i was your age. nirvana came to town and i was 6 days shy of my 18 birthday. door security at palace, st kilda rolled me. i was so pissed off. my mates got in. i threw my ticket away in disgust. thought i’d see them next time. there was no next time! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Tom " wrote:I just dont get these posts. It’s like going to watch a football game, the complaining afterwards that they didn’t throw the ball to your favorite receiver much.I could see someone being a little upset if they went to a Dinosaur Jr show, and the band did Madonna covers all night or something, but to complain they didnt play the songs you wanted….. I just dont get it.
dude, have you seen that ‘open letter to j’ post? tis about the marketing as hmmmmmmmm says, not about the songs. if this guy knew his 10 fav tunes weren’t going to be played he would have stayed home with his missus and not whinged. the guy’s got kids and is not going to waste his time pre concert checking setlists in this forum. why wasn’t he told about the 3 album only concert when he bought his ticket? sounds like the usa promotion is similar to the aussie tour. research required by ticket buyers. i hate research. fuck that. at our gig half crowd didn’t have a fuckin clue like me. i still jumped around but the dull atmos ruined it for the rest of us.
i don’t know about your sports. but just say you went to a chicago bulls game in their prime and they didn’t play d rod, jordan and luc longey for entire game. shit; i’d complain for sure. except about longley!! sports you expect disappointment at times. not concerts. except if metallica played only their early stuff. yeah.
