Wendy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 We have some interesting opinions around here lately ... DBT are a step removed from Kid Rock? Neil Young isn't the kind of artist Wilco would want to be associated with? Jim James voice sounds like Chris Martin from Coldplay? It's really great that we're all different, though. It would be boring if we weren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lizish Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Tried many many times with these guys and was kinda coming around with all the Isbell songs. Then Pfft. Shit, I had a copy of the first pressing of SRO - and there are only 499 others. The last straw was that fucking song 'bob'. When listening to this band I now hear more Jim Stafford than Allman Bros, Derek + Dominoes, Sknyrd, or Bottle Rockets. So I'll take that back, maybe they are more than step above Kid Rock, but have not surpassed Stafford in the suckage scale. and Cortez, fuck off with the personal insults.

"Ghost to Most", "Righteous Path", "Homefront"... none of those grabbed you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He reminds me of Charlie Daniels more than anyone. edit: p.s. got my tix for both nights @ First Ave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm a friendly neighbor to the south in Rochester, always thought I would move up to the cities but I got a job offer I couldn't say no to. I'm up there quite often though.

I did get a ticket for the 16th though!! has it been confirmed that this is just a presale... will tickets eventually go on Ticketmaster? I'm thinking a roadtrip to MN for First Avenue night 1 is in order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody Girl Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 No 930 Club date. I'm bummed about that, too. (Heck, I would have taken anywhere in the Baltimore/D.C. area.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsr8j Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm bummed about that, too. (Heck, I would have taken anywhere in the Baltimore/D.C. area.) Me too! DBT has been one of my favorite bands for years now and I just recently started to get in to The Hold Steady. Boys and Girls in America and Stay Positive have been in extremely heavy rotation in my car and at work recently. Maybe they'll add more dates later and the DC area will get a show.

CortezTheKiller Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 First Ave is an all GA club A number of venues are seated. Some are even dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knepps Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 So I got a ticket for the first night at first ave and I would just like to show everyone how much I love ticketmaster... Buying directly from the band presale: $25 Ticket + $4 service fee = $29 Buying from ticketmaster: $24 Ticket + $7 convienence fee + $1 Building fee + $4 Service fee + tax? = $37.03 Not to change the subject of the thread. I just wanted to vent. Anyways, I'm pretty excited for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
