i'm w/intercourse on this one - there really isn't anyone who has come after GnR. they weren't so much the full stop for classic rock as an exclamation mark. nobody has been able to assume the mantle or achieve the success. green day are as close to rock as any major 'rock' band of the last 15 yrs have come. who else are you gonna have, coldplay?!

i'm not a green day fan btw.

green day are just as notable as trey anastasio or zach de la rocha or alicia keys fwiw

the problem i'm having w/the upcoming dublin gig is that it's the first date on the next leg of the tour, right?

atm i'm not going. but i know i'd fucking be pissed off if i didn't go & they ended up playing something different in the setlist. & since there's no gig's prior i only have the most recent setlists to go on & really the only songs i haven't seen this band do are Civil War & Estranged & that's not worth 70 clams.

so don't think im gonna go. shame its so expensive cause the 02 in dublin is a good venue, you can get real close quite easily.
unless gnr are doing that gay PJ thing now w/fenced off area's for sucker fans who pay membership or gold ticket fees or some shit. but i doubt GnR have the wherewithal to be bothered by stuff like that tbh..

I'd bust a nut n spray it all over my YouTube stream if The 5 did One in a Million @ this thing.

that was a p ace opening/only season.
was a bit of a come down initially after the intense mann-infused pilot but it quickly found its rhythm. it's conclusion wasn't overly excellent (farina's great bathroom scene the obv non-gambon/hoffmann highlight) but it was highly strung & well-rounded, & primed for more of the same next yr.

so kinda like deadwood w/racehorses then.

some of it was a little tacky (ace & his grandson w/the stupid hair for one, the vet & her adopted kid/dead embryo) but by & large it was tip-top.
will be missed.
