I don't think I have a Band Bucket List...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Diva) Oct 1 '13, 19:14

not because I've seen everyone I ever wanted to but because, as Reagen mentioned, I'd need a Time Machine too.

Everytime I see an older band who I've never seen before invariably it turns out that the band is doing it for the wrong reasons. Case in point: Courtney Love. I wanted so bad for it to be 1992 but it was 2013 and there was an old used up person just pretending to be the girl I expected. It was disappointing.

I wanted to see the Cars when they did their show here in town but I knew to stay away from that one too. The reviews confirmed I did the right thing.

Bowie is one I wouldn't mind seeing as I think he'd put effort into a show. But really, I missed the show I should have seen...NIN/Bowie.

I've been kind of lucky in that sense in that older acts that I've seen seem to be touring for the right reasons - JD Oct 1, 20:51

I heard that NIN tour was not pretty. People just didn't care about Bowie and would leave -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 19:20 9

  - Pumpkins on the Porcelina tour was fantastic. -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 19:36 6
    - I saw them on the Mellon Collie tour and they were clearly bored by the whole thing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 21:05 3
      - I saw them twice in the '90s, the first time it was pretty obvious Billy Corgan played all the instruments on the album, because man the rest of them - mafic Oct 1, 21:11 2
        
        It might have also been, "We're where? Saska-what? That's a real place?" -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 21:27

    - I would love pumpkins, except I cannot STAND corgin's voice. - loosi at home Oct 1, 20:53
