Interesting news today in the music world: Sleep Token deleted all their Instagram posts & changed their bio to "Nothing Lasts Forever". Hope they aren't done for good...

I guess I'm a bit older. First concert was the Allman Brothers at City Park in N.O. about 1969/1970.

I'm a little younger. ... BUT, there is no doubt in my mind that if I could get in a time machine, I would be going to as many concerts from 1968-1975 that I could. No one can convince me that 68-75 is not the best music ever made.

An Allman Brothers band show would be on top of the list. I have read so many articles that talk about how they would play until the sun would come up. I could listen to their music all day every day.

Closest I've come to seeing them was seeing Devon Allman and Duane Betts at Tipitina's a few years back. When they played Blue Sky, I thought I was listening to Dicky on guitar. Every note was perfect.

Awesome.

I'm no Foo Fighters fan. Not even close. To me, the are equal to Nickelback....

I'm no Foo Fighters fan. Not even close. To me, the are equal to Nickelback. I do appreciate their music, musical talent, and the things Grohl has done for music in general.

As a fan, I'm sure you saw the tribute to Taylor Hawkins show. Shane sure made his dad proud that day.

Not that I'm telling you who to be a fan of, but the Foo Fighters =/= Nickelback. The Foos are playing sold out venues across the country, even after the death of Taylor Hawkins. And Nickelback...well they are the token has-been the Houston Rodeo this year. But I get why they'd be equivalent in your head.

That said, Taylor Hawkins' side project (Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders) was phenomenal. Red Light Fever is probably one of my favorite albums of all time.

I mean really, it is not even clear if they are fighting against the Foo's or are Foo's, and we think martin hall struggles with branding

Was this the show that one of the bands canceled for some reason and 3 Doors Down got called to open as a last minute replacement?

I was at the show. I just could not remember who they opened up for. Like most, I was blown away by them and because an instant fan. Still one of my faves from that era.

Same thing happened to me when we went see The Nixons at The Plaza. A fairly unknown band at the time named Sevendust opened up for them. About a week after that show, Sevendust's debut album released and instantly blew up.

Some judo buddies took me to see Sevendust at Grant Street. Insanely loud and right there in your face. Saw them months later at Woodstock’99.

only a foo would fight for the foo fighters
