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'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 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.
only a foo would fight for the foo fighters
We just went on a Cub Scout outing yesterday to tour KBON. Showed us around and let the kids introduce themselves live on air. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend checking the place out. The people that run the station have so many stories to share. There’s one area that has autographs all over the walls from musicians only and another area where they started having the cooks sign the walls in the back where they cook and feed people. The owners grandfather is the late Alfred Lamson (UL softball) - picture of him carrying the Olympic torch for 1996 games with a replica torch on display. Lots of neat items to see. Very friendly and down to earth people - said to tell our friends to go visit them. They’d love to share their experiences.
