You missed the cringe tag on this one.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

RTJ all day baby

 

[Punished Miku]

Yeah I got this alert earlier. If it was at a smaller venue I'd probably go. They seem to be playing mostly huge venues.

I saw them years ago at one of the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, just the one time. They're obviously great live. I just haven't really listened to them for a very long time.

No, sorry, "Lil uzi vert peep pump waka flocka gucci brapp brapp sizzurp face" are not performing with these OGs.

Yeah, Moda center for Portland, that' kind of sucks, last time I saw them was at the Hawthorne theater and it was so much better.

My girlfriend just dragged me to Post Malone. Let me assure you any of that shit even vaguely like that sucks so much ass live you wouldn't believe it. Literally just one guy on stage singing over a recording. Its karaoke.

Even an older band like Rage runs laps around them. A whole generation of people seem to not know what a good live show is.

 

[haxan7]

There’s so much more interesting music these days. RATM is incredibly generic and played out.

Normally I wouldn’t comment on something I’m not interested in but you all need to hear the truth since you want to go in on brap for a mild comment.

brap says the same thing on almost any live music thread lol.

FUCK THIS BOOMER BAND

- Brap & Miyazaki

 

[drganon]

I hope they play the song where the singer yells and the guitarist makes weird noises with his guitar.

 

[brap]

By OG's you mean a band filled with rich guys talking about how capitalism bad and 2 goofy fuckin bernie bros? Fucking lmao dude. White liberals shouldn't make rap.

Even an older band like Rage runs laps around them. A whole generation of people seem to not know what a good live show is.

Well it sure as fuck isn't gonna be a bunch of 50 year old rich guys screaming about how capitalism bad before they go back to their mansions and eat caviar.

My girlfriend just dragged me to Post Malone. Let me assure you any of that shit even vaguely like that sucks so much ass live you wouldn't believe it. Literally just one guy on stage singing over a recording. Its karaoke.

Nice job complaining about the music of some goofy ass fake depressed fat white dude droning on and on. You really think he wouldn't be boring as fuck to see?

brap says the same thing on almost any live music thread lol.

Do I? I don't remember.

FUCK THIS BOOMER BAND

True tbh. Get some good taste in boomer bands like Bloodhound Gang, Weezer, Rush, Cake, Primus, etc.

4 out of 5 of those are Gen X.

Boomers are anyone over the age of 25 nowadays, shitlord!

No lol, it wasn't my choice to go to post malone. But the set up for the stage show is similar with that whole style of music. The openers were the same. Other shows I've seen like that are the same. It's just not that great live compared to a real band. It's literally singing over a recording.

They all do that shit and it's pathetic. Rappers too busy rolling up weed to bother saying some words. You sounded surprised about it though which is why I said something.

Well I tried to keep an open mind. It was a weak show though. Oh well ...

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Wow, it takes me back. 20 years ago I was smoking pot and listening to this band thinking I was gonna change the greedy world with my rebelliousness.

Then I got a job because I didn’t want to be a bum. Also have expensive tastes.

 

[eddie4]

someone can't take a joke, shit.

 

[haxan7]

someone can't take a joke, shit.

You just did a great job of describing your first response in this thread.

 

[Sp3eD]

Might have to get tickets to the Portland, OR show. Hmmmmm

 

[eot]

Are they putting out new music? It's usually a bad sign if they're not IMO.
Nostalgia tours are pretty hit and miss for me, especially with such attitude driven music.

There’s so much more interesting music these days. RATM is incredibly generic and played out.

Calling RATM generic, that's a new one

 

[Naibel]

Looooved RATM's debut as a teen, and I still think musically (and in terms of production, MY GOD it's sooo crisp and good !) it holds up fantastically well ! No complaints about that.

Lyrically, weeeelllll...

As a teen, I too wanted to burn the whole "machine" down and scream to my boomer parents : "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me !!".

Then, I grew up.

And now I find it hard not to cringe when listening to them, sadly... More power to you if you still enjoy them !

I do admit that listening sometimes to "Killing In The Name Of" is a riveting and cathartic experience...

Run The Jewels still kicks ass tho.

 

[ScarletSpider]

Rage would’ve been cool to see if it was 10-15 years ago.

RTJ is good tho

 

[Urprobablyright]

Tokyo or it didn't happen. Sniff.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Hope Rage endorses Sanders, remake a Bulls on Parade video with him in it, and it goes to number one on the Billboard charts 24ish years after its initial release.

And if that all happens I want a cut.

 

[AV]

This right here's a day ticket, but why in the absolute fuck are Idles not where Courteeners are? That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen, 90% of the people at the mainstage will be running to the 2nd stage and back again.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

IDLES and Slowthai fucking SLAP.

 

[Greedings]

old socialists from the 90s perform for one last cash grab.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Holy shit. I am going to try to get tickets to this.

 

[Irobot82]

nothing in Florida........

 

[HotPocket69]

nothing in Florida........

Yeah seriously. No shows even remotely close to the southern states aside from El Paso

I must’ve slept through the timeline shift where now people aren’t fans of Rage anymore.

What is it with 25 and unders having absolute SHIT TASTE in music?

They were preparing to become hormonal teenagers when Spotify launched and change music forever.

Think about it. Spotify brought with it an endless stream of recommendations and playlists. Tons of teenagers these days don't even know what they listen to. They just sub to playlists and have no attachment to music.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Boomers are anyone over the age of 25 nowadays, shitlord!

27.

27 is the cutoff.

If you don't succumb to the 27 Club and live to 28, then you're a Boomer.
