I may be there, but being it's a Monday, being that I over estimated by tolerance for alcohol this weekend, and being that I'm not too psyched about their new album, I may wind up skipping it.

Anyone know if the Buddyhead gossip about the Perfect Circle dude playing second guitar for this tour is true?

They're playing at Fletcher's on September 4, which is a Saturday, for those who want to skip a Monday show.

Same here. I had fully planned on going, but I've got too much to do at home.

Jeordie = Perfect Circle dude
http://www.basetendencies.com/News.html:
July 30, 2004
The Burning Brides tore it up at the legendary Troubadour nightclub in West Hollywood last night, where they were joined midway through their set by Jeordie rocking out on guitar for two songs. To try to keep everyone up to date on this (and as an addendum to yesterday's report), the bottom line regarding Jeordie's plans to appear with the Brides on tour is that work on his album with Chris Goss is his first priority. As such, it's hard to commit to any specific dates/cities. It is possible he could show up at another one of the West Coast dates, and performing for a week or two in August towards the end of the tour is another possibility. Nothing, however, is set in stone. My advice? If the Brides are coming to your neck of the woods, just go! They're energetic and fun to watch and overall put on a great performance. The venues are mostly of the small/intimate variety and tickets are very affordable (roughly in the $10-15 range). If anything changes to where I do have some definite dates, I will immediately post that information here.

Hmmm, I was gonna go, but it's up in the air. I'd love to though…albums has ups and downs (some of it is awfully old school metal sounding), but I think it would be a good show.

You say that as if it were a bad thing.

Sounds like the Brides have been jilted by their fans.

Well it was their fans' loss.
It was a smokin' show. Best of the four times I've seen them. The new material (which made up the bulk of the show) was fantastic live. The old stuff sounded great as always.
The crowd was definitely small, but the band didn't seem to care. They rocked hard.
The metalphobes may not have been as overwhelmingly pleased, as the show definitely had a heavy, guitar solo-laden edge. But for those in touch with their inner Dio, it was great.

wow wow wow. just got back from the show. great way to end the day as i was suffering from a case of the "mondays." i was there primarily to see the explosion, who rocked my ass off and wasn't really expecting much from burning brides. boy was i wrong. they fucking shredded. borderline metal band at times as the headbanging in the audience of 100 or so indicated. i gotta pick up their cd tomorrow.

I thought the Explosion phoned it in a bit last night (compared to other times I've seen them.) The Brides were astoudingly good. Third time I've seen them, easily the best. The new stuff is much better appreciated live. Here's hoping their next visit to town isn't on a Monday. If you skipped it last night, you really did miss something special. And yes I'm rubbing it in.
