I am a relatively new TR fan. I have gone overboard and made up for lost time but still a newbie. I went to my first show in April and it was everything that i expected. We all know his performace levels are through the roof. TR is so good that he has made me think twice about other band that I have liked. For instance, I like the band Coldplay. They are a bit poppy but they do what they do well. They have they the ability to evoke emotion. I recently saw an advertisement to go to 3 Coldplay shows in May, I found out the price was near $2000.00. This is what i call a commercial jack ass. I was able to see TR for $15.00. Something aint right. Coldplay is into the maketradefair.com, they should take a look at the site maketicketpricesfair.com or hownottosuck.com. Anyway TR for $2000.00 is a bargain even WalMart cant touch let alsone $15.00 This proves day in day out more people should think like our friend TR. You define the word SLAUGHTER.
p.s. thanks Jar |
Slaughter, a word to live by.... |

| well said. i hold coldplay in relative derision, but we'll let that slide. it's astounding that i can pay (provided he plays near me) like 15 dollars to see a true master of the instrument, and i'd have to pay considerably more to see some apefuck group who are mediocre at best. |
death to false metal. |

| Coldplay played at the HFStival, my local pop/rock extravaganza blow-out festival pot and alcohol binge. Two years ago they got booed off stage, understandably as they went right after like Foo Fighters or something a lot less... mellow. This year, though, I hear they got alot of respect. I enjoy their music, and for a while I thought they were alot more genuine, till now I hear about this 2000$ thing. I read somewhere that parachutes was going to be their last album and they were all going to become fishermen, but it was a huge success so they decided to stick with musicianship. That's mainly what made me respect them alot more. |
my favorite color is go fuck yourself. :D |

| They have some good tracks, but they are a bunch of snooty pop-heads who I can't see making anything groundbreaking anytime soon. Hey I got an idea! Name your kid "Apple." 'Nuff said. |

| yeah hsftival is way too full of bullshit bands. Coldplay, FOo Fighters, and Billy Idol would have been the only acts I would want to see this year, since they may have had potential entertainment value. |
