Let's talk about music

This is a pretty hot version of Sludgefeast:

If one of them had to have become the biggest band in the world for a period of time, I would have voted for Dinosaur over Nirvana.

[Gaucho]

J and me are fine with them having been the best band for a period of (or in) time.

J Mascis is playing Club Cafe in pgh on Oct 15th.
The ticket price is 49.50; more than twice the price of any other show on their schedule.

[FreeCandy44]

Maybe cause Club Cafe holds like 150?

[viva la ben]

Also why its not sold out.

[FreeCandy44]

Meh

holy ****

King Diamond at Stage AE in October

surprised he's stopping here and skipping so many other cities around Pittsburgh, its usually the other way around.

I'm a big Dinosaur Jr. fan but there's no way I'd pay $50 to see J. Mascis. That's just crazy talk.

Side A of Bug still blows me away. Every. Single. Time.

^^ A band I never was able to get into. I bought their first record when it came out and was underwhelmed and still am.

However, the SST pressing is a collectors item....so you have that going for you.

Well, their very first isn't all that great.

[Factorial]

I thought their first release was on Homestead?

[columbia]

Correct. My gaffe.

"Black Flag" is playing Altar Bar tonight. I don't feel like paying $25 to see a Black Flag cover band.

[FreeCandy44]

If Greg Ginn is there, is it technically a cover band?

Probably one of my most favorite concerts I've been to in a long time.

Greg Ginn is there, but at this point I think he's the last remaining member of the pre-reunion Black Flag that will be in the band.

Ron Reyes was booted mid-show last year, Keith Morris, Dez, and Dukowski are all touring as Flag, and Rollins couldn't be any less interested in a Black Flag/Flag appearance. So basically you have Mike Vallely (former skater/hockey player/band manager) growling his way through songs, and two disposable members who have been in the band for less than a year.....oh, and Greg Ginn.

I think this quote to a recent review is similar to what I'm saying

Finally, Black Flag took the stage, or rather, the current weird variation of Black Flag took the stage. Composing of Greg Ginn, Mike Vallely, Tyler Smith, and Brandon Pertzborn, there is something misleading about attending a reunion when the lineup consists of only one original member.

Sounds like a version of Megadeth I saw in 2005. It was Dave Mustine and 3 ringers, only recently did they get Dave Jr back on bass. Everyone knows the best lineup was 89-00. But yeah...this has nothing to do with BF.

Last time I heard of Vallely he was a Bam Margera hanger-on.

I'm posting this to cleanse everyone's mind of whatever is passing as Black Flag nowadays:

that dinosaur record (before they were dino jr.) is not very good... it certainly isn't in the same league as the records that followed it. regarding black flag, i would agree that greg ginn alone does not a reunion make. 'flag' is pretty great live, though. as for mike v. -- used to be one of my favorite skaters. definitely had tons of style and did things his own way, but i'm pretty sure he's a terrible singer.
