Queens of the Stone Age

Eagles of Death Metal are the opener, according to pollstar.

This is going to be great…I cannot wait to hear the new record either.

Yeah, wasn't there supposed to be a DC101 presale today?? I had a meeting, so knew I couldn't give it a try, and had since forgotten about it. Wondering what happened.

- EDIT -

Just tried, and here are all the answers:

Queens of the Stone Age
Sunday, 3/27/05, 7:30PM EST
9:30 Club
Washington, DC, USA

There are no longer tickets available for this presale.

This event is currently not available for sale through the web. It is scheduled to go onsale at: 02/10/05 10:00AM EST.

Don't yell at me whoever yelled at me last time. I've just seen this info on the presale in the "Just Announced" thread, though it makes a hell of a lot of sense to be in a QOTSA thread (which was the top thread when I got here…..)

i haven't gotten my ticket(s) yet so hopefully they'll still be available.

i'm going to sound like an elitist asshole, but the best time i've seen queens of the stone age was in a tiny room in boston on the self-titled tour, around january 1999. this was when kyuss were still pretty unknown and the whole room was full of dirtbag bikers and stoners. they had strobe lights and smoke and were loud as hell. i still prefer the first record best.

over the years, i've seen them about five times now and i'm getting increasingly bored. i'm not anti-pop, but i think by adding poppier elements, they've become more accessible, and thus, more watered-down. the electricity isn't there for me anymore, and with nick gone, it'll probably have even less of an edge.

regardless, i'll be there, though i'll probably be working.

if you guys wanna see an incredible heavy/stoner show, check out earthride, unearthly trance, and pb army at the warehouse on february 26th.

^shameless plug^

Sounds like a great show. Along with you I prefer the first album and have liked each subsequent one a little less. I DL'd the new one last night and let's just say I'm hoping it grows on me.

the new album is okay i guess….still weaker than Rated R IMHO.

Kyuss ruled! I spent a summer listening to nothing but Kyuss and Cop Shoot Cop.

Allen's wrench……It's all you get!

Guess I'm in the minority that thinks that they are moving into a good direction. I found their first record to be too monotonous, even though I like some of the songs on there. Rated R was great, but Songs for the Deaf has rarely left my CD player for more than a week or 2 since it came out. Personally, I like melody…but there is still plenty of weight to their music. I saw QOTSA back in 1999 when they opened for Smashing Pumpkins and was thoroughly unimpressed…but I am always willing to give a second chance and loved Rated R. Needless to say, I still think they're going to be great without Nick (but I will miss his screaming).

Eagles of Death Metal are also playing the Ottobar Wednesday March 23rd. Tickets go on sale this Friday!!!

do we think this show is going to sell out today or tomorrow?

I very, very rarely buy tickets online, but I did for this one. I think it's a possible swift sellout, but I've been way wrong before. However, for me, if I missed out on tickets, I'd be furious with myself, so I went for it.

Most of the other shows on the tour sold out within a day. Proceed with caution.

DITTO!!

We tried to get tickets earlier this morning but we've been having a recurring problem with tickets.com. We can add tickets to the cart, but when it comes time to checkout, the cart doesn't display correctly and the site hangs.

Anyone else having this problem?

I got my ticket OK…this one will definitely sell out within a few days. I'm bummed that it's a DC101 show. But hopefully a lot of the die-hard fans will show up. I am just glad I'm getting to see them play at the 9:30 again.

xcanuck, can't you call tickets.com?

Bunnyman, do you think the DC101 sponsorship will have any ascertainable impact on the makeup of the audience? I don't, I think QOTSA fans will show up…

Listening to Ash right now as I don't have QOTSA with me at my office – bitchin'!!!

i got my tickets. i can't wait to go. i just don't know if its going to be the same without nick because all my favorite songs were ones that he sang. i'm i qotsa diehard, so i had to go anyways

i saw them at the hfs nutcracker a few years back and was impressed.
