You didn't ask if you could come to St. Louis, all you have to do is say please.

i thought about going to modest mouse until I stumbled upon this-
The Pitch Music Showcase (http://www.pitch.com/retail/musicshowcase/2007/pg2.html)
Friday night in Westport, for a mere $5, you and your over-21 running buddies can buy admission to shows by 27 local acts playing in six venues — the Beaumont, McCoy's, the Hurricane, Blayney's, the Westport Beach Club and Karma.

I don't mind Modest Mouse, but I heard they suck live- as in they're one of the bands that just lets the audience sing.

Man, I hate Modest Mouse. One sound...how many songs? About as creative and musically diverse as Nickelback. Float On was great, for a month or two, but I started getting pissed off when every other song of theirs that I heard had the same chord progressions.
-
Ugh, I got suckered into going (and paying ( :banghead:)). At least I kind of like Band of Horses.
:yuck:

I need to get me some Muse cause Muse = :hookem:

Why?
-
not sure.
thought they'd be too emotional or whiney for you.
do you have the king geedorah - take me to your leader album?
-
I have no problem w/ emotional music at all. Not sure why you thought that.
And no, I do not have King Geedorah.

Would be funny if it weren't baseless. The last two albums, yes, lack a bit of range. Prior to that, no.
-

My reasoning for guessing your disdain for them would be vocal tracks similar to MM, not being "emotional".

I just think they write better songs. I don't have a big problem with MM's vocals, just the annoying songs.

First of all, let me start by saying i hate all of you.
Leyton - if you haven't listened to a majority of a bands work i would not pass judgement on a singular sound. but if you have listened to everything i don't know how you couldn't see that modest mouse has been one of the most changing and unique sounding bands i have ever listened to. I completely agree about the last two albums. I havn't even listened to the new one, because i don't want to ruin any more of their music for me.
WorldWideBalla21- you should not be allowed to ever comment on any music ever.
ew2x4 - i don't know about now, but when i saw them in 2000 they put up one hell of a show. they were even comparable to their openers, !!!.
Rusty - it makes sense that you don't like modest mouse
Kilgore - I hope to god they play some of the old stuff for your sake.
I am a little bit biased when it comes to modest mouse. They, along with 764-Hero, Built to Spill, and The Appleseed Cast were what started me on my downward spiral into good music.
-
appleseed cast. best thing to come out of lawrence NOT named 'outhouse'
-
their last album was a bit bleh though.

I think a 7 year body of crappy work is enough to say they now suck, IMO.
Just sayin'.

definitely is your opinion. i know lots of people that don't like em, and a bunch who do.

so..which is more...a LOT or a BUNCH?

My date is a boy...he kind of got suckered into buying 2 MM tickets, and then he kind of suckered me into buying a ticket. My wife would be an easy sell on the Pitch thing.

I'm a Junior. And yes you are right I don't know anything about music, only stoner music hence the avatar.
Modest mouse just isn't really my taste but I don't hate em. I don't mind any band as long as they don't do pussy/emo punk. :banghead:

Christ. I thought you said you don't mind BOH. Go see them and head to the Pitch thing. Everyone wins including Kilgore who won't have to hear Fussty bitch about how MM sucks but doesn't know a reference to one of their major radio hits (that wasn't that great a song :tongue:)

Meh. If the vast majority of the band's concert-going fans don't care that Modest Mouse has produced more than their last two albums, I shouldn't have to know that they've produced anything more interesting than the monotonous crap that I hear on the radio from them.

It's all about the money. I'd love to go for free.
I recognized the song when I googled "Breathes Salty" ('Cla' :chainsaw:)

No, I just quietly listen and smile affectionately at the people singing around me. It's cool to mouth the lyrics and maybe give a whimpering rendition of your own, but if you're at full volume, I'm not diggin' it.

Man, I hate Modest Mouse. One sound...how many songs? About as creative and musically diverse as Nickelback. Float On was great, for a month or two, but I started getting pissed off when every other song of theirs that I heard had the same chord progressions.
Leyton almost described the concert to a T.
The opened with "Bury Me With It", did a f*cking awesome job, and I thought, "damn, they might convert me". Then they played Float On. Fifteen goddam times in a row. They played Float On with a banjo, slow Float On, Float On with a cello, Float On with an extended solo, Float On with an accordian, "hard rock" Float On, Float On with a trumpet, then did an encore with an extended version of Float On.
I really don't understand how they sold so many tickets...they aren't "edgy" enough any more to bring out the music purists, but they still seem too rough around the edges to appeal to the Dragon Shirt crowd.
Side Note: I swear I saw BMW. He was wearing Khaki shorts, no shirt, and some kind of shark tooth necklace. Him and his boyz took about 30 pictures during the encore (in the middle of the crowd) (LOL).

Damn. Life is good when you are BMW.
-
I can almost verify that I saw Rusty.
I, on the other hand, thought the show was pretty decent and didn't mind the new stuff at all. :twobirds:
-
Rusty: the hipster's anti-hipster.
If you thought the 10+ minute version of "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes" or "Out of Gas" sounded anything like Float On, I'm not sure I can ever trust your judgment on music again outside a moderate recommendation of The Sheds. Leyton already hung himself in effigy comparing Modest Mouse with the likes of Nickelback, even in jest, but your review is pathetic and trite.
My recommendation is this: get over yourself and try to enjoy a show ya hipster &@#%!
-
according to SPC, the sound check took a while because they had to "de-tune" their guitars....
and yes rusty...you suck at life. The extended versions of Tiny cities made of Ashes and during the encore, Spitting Venom were amazing.
I'd like to hear some of your music, Rusty, since apparently you can make much better music. I'd be truly interested to see how you get around the 'same progressions in every song' motif, that you complain about. Start by making seven albums, then I'll listen to the last two and make my judgements solely on those albums.
LMK.
-
I wore khaki shorts, too, FWIW.
I'll admit to being a tad dramatic, but you have to admit that I was right, for the most part. Out of Gas uses the same basic chord progression as Float On...just slowed down. Sorry I lost your musical trust. :-[
Other thoughts: City Market was an awesome venue, IMO...MM had the worst sound crew in history...Where does everyone go after the concert? You'd think the bars would be packed. We went straight to Harry's (:lick:) and got a table in no time.

LOL, that's the worst take ever.

LOL. How come when you all saw each other, you didn't say "hi!" ?
-
I don't know what KG looks like, and I wasn't sure it was BMW.
-
I def. wouldn't say hi to bmw. he would probably make fun. :'(
-
Again, not sure you know WTF you're talking about. First of all, if you don't know the reference to The Ocean Breathes Salty I have hard time believing you knew which one Out of Gas was. Particularly due to Brock's unintelligible nature live. Furthermore, if you think that was an "awesome venue", you haven't been to many good shows. 1. The best place to be at any show is usually close, but due to the only upward grading being on what I think is the west side sloping up (can't imagine the sound carried well over there anyway), I was lucky to see any of the stage more than 30% of the time. 2. Too many damned people in a tight area. 3. The walk to buy a beer or visit a Johnny was absolutely ridiculous.
I'll admit to being a tad dramatic
At least you said it. Your lack of mentioning a fine performance by the band you didn't mind seeing, Band of Horses, shows me what your intent of posting your critique was. You walked into the show with a prefabricated disdain for the headliner and came back out parroting Leyton's cliche'd use of "chord structure" while completely failing to mention the other band's performance. This makes you, wait for it, a music snob! Welcome to the club you mock so much. The next step is using terms like "texture", "atmosphere", "delivery" and "voice". Make sure and do that in repetitive fashion.
I'll fully admit that the cadences they use, especially when they play a great many of the songs at the same speed (one of my only criticisms of the band themselves) mixed with many of the same chords are similar on the last couple of albums. The melodies, bridges, and overall setup of their songs has drastically changed over their career. I still enjoyed hearing the newer stuff but left wishing I'd hear just one song from This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, Building Something Out of Nothing, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks (minus the end of that album at the close of the concert), and more than two singles from Lonesome Crowded West. That's an inherent problem though, anytime you change the band's lineup as much as they have. Hence, you heard about 4 tracks on anything but the last two albums and can't really pass judgment.
In short, had you just gone to be entertained and shelved your bias walking in, you'd have returned and not come off like such a know-it-all attention whore in this thread.

I saw a guy that looked a lot like the middle dude in the katpak'r event photo with one other guy. I've been wrong before and will continue to be wrong in the future :D
-
at the music showcase right now, the popcicles suck. on to bigger and better music.
have to retake my take.
apparently the band i thought was the pcicles wasn't.
the overall music showcase was incredible. saw two kickass bands at hurricane that just kicked ass. then went to beaumont for popcicles and damn they were incredibly kick ass. missed the jazz fusion joint that rusty recommended because i thought i was at the right place but wasn't.
overall...A+ effort from the Pitch Music Showcase. really great.
and i would have for sure introduced myself to bmw, why the hell not?
we're not all the dickheads we seem when u get us from behind the monitors (except sys)

Um...relax? If I were a Modest Mouse fan, I'd be pretty happy that Rusty checked out the show despite not being a fan.

With a few exceptions, Modest Mouse's songs all sounded the same last night. If I'm wrong for thinking a band should play more than 3 or 4 unique/good songs in a two hour set, oh well.
I thought Band of Horses was better, but still meh-ish.
I liked City Market because it was unique.
Suck it.

Again, not sure you know WTF you're talking about. First of all, if you don't know the reference to The Ocean Breathes Salty I have hard time believing you knew which one Out of Gas was. Particularly due to Brock's unintelligible nature live. Furthermore, if you think that was an "awesome venue", you haven't been to many good shows. 1. The best place to be at any show is usually close, but due to the only upward grading being on what I think is the west side sloping up (can't imagine the sound carried well over there anyway), I was lucky to see any of the stage more than 30% of the time. 2. Too many damned people in a tight area. 3. The walk to buy a beer or visit a Johnny was absolutely ridiculous.
I'll admit to being a tad dramatic
At least you said it. Your lack of mentioning a fine performance by the band you didn't mind seeing, Band of Horses, shows me what your intent of posting your critique was. You walked into the show with a prefabricated disdain for the headliner and came back out parroting Leyton's cliche'd use of "chord structure" while completely failing to mention the other band's performance. This makes you, wait for it, a music snob! Welcome to the club you mock so much. The next step is using terms like "texture", "atmosphere", "delivery" and "voice". Make sure and do that in repetitive fashion.
I'll fully admit that the cadences they use, especially when they play a great many of the songs at the same speed (one of my only criticisms of the band themselves) mixed with many of the same chords are similar on the last couple of albums. The melodies, bridges, and overall setup of their songs has drastically changed over their career. I still enjoyed hearing the newer stuff but left wishing I'd hear just one song from This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, Building Something Out of Nothing, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks (minus the end of that album at the close of the concert), and more than two singles from Lonesome Crowded West. That's an inherent problem though, anytime you change the band's lineup as much as they have. Hence, you heard about 4 tracks on anything but the last two albums and can't really pass judgment.

Agree to disagree I suppose. Sorry they couldn't play that Gwen Stefani song you rave about.

BTW piss, did you get to see Roman Numerals?

Why not say hi, KT?

no bro, i tried but was pretty drunk and wanted to head home before getting too hammered and tired. sorry, i actually pulled my phone out there and looked for who you and rusty recommended. his was too early and yours was too late, i think they were playing at like 12:30 or something. had to grab jimmy johns and crash...

#1 I wasn't 100% sure it was you. This person really did resemble the one photo, but it'd be a little strange to me to walk up to a random dude and say "Hey, aren't you Rusty?" Maybe it's just me.
#2 At the time, early in the show, I was pretty drunk.
#3 I'm a jerk that nobody likes :D
-
BTW, despite not being a huge fan of their new stuff, Bukowski was freaking terrific.
-
BTW, maybe OT, but LOL @ people who sing along at concerts. LOL and grrrrr(!).
Not OT, LOL and grrrr made me chuckle.
-
BTW, I have no problem with KT, dr00d, or anyone else liking what they like, and their opinions are totally valid. That's what makes me better than you &@#%ers.f

I'm not trying to come off as an asshole here, I'm actually a fairly easy going guy, but apparently totally misunderstood on message boards because I use a lot of dry jokes and sarcasm.
I just like what I like and I don't understand why people have to try and drag certain genre's, band's, and artists down with the debbie downer routine. Your post seemed like a prime canidate.
If you don't like it, that doesn't bother me, but why complain about it when you can't really claim you know all their stuff? nor walking in, you already had a bad attitude about the band in the first place. You just set yourself up for failure and a not-so-great night right out of the gates.
cheers.

Just about anything you can hear on popular radio totally sucks %$#@ and is for big time ass munchers.

radio blows x's a gazillion

I've never heard of any of those bands and will go ahead and come to the conclusion that they all suck.
