That is your opinion. I personally love most of his newer albums and think he's still fantastic live.
and my opinion also is he is a has-been and people go to see him do smith songs and earlier songs from his career.

yes, you've now stated that twice.
but you're forgiven for repeating yourself… apparently you don't listen to yourself either.

You like Beach House live, do you not? That is as boring as live music could possibly get.
Not a Deerhunter superfan by any means but I have seen many bands that were more boring. If you like their studio output, chances are you will enjoy them live unless you are Atomicfront. They used to be more aggressive and confrontational but Bradford has since mellowed out.

selling out tiny places. When I saw Morrissey he was playing MPP and had huge crowd. And he didn't even do Smiths songs back then. Now he is playing places a fraction of the size and has to play smiths songs. He was only playing club shows a while back until a few people started missing their youth.

i have never heard their studio output. But just a bass, guitar, drums and male lead singer doing boring straight ahead rock n roll.

so musicians can't play smaller more intimate places or they're has beens even if they sell them out with much higher average ticket prices compared to the bigger places? Please clarify. Thanks.
but Atomicfront raises an important question…
let's say a musician played the best show of his life… and only 10 people were there… is that a has been?
the show was the best show of his life… is what determines whether you're a has been or not what people who aren't even there think of you? seems odd…

It's not possible music has to be popular before its considered good

and to think that after years of reading the musings of this board, i had come to the conclusion that music is only good before it gets popular.
And its even less good if the group only has guitars, bass and drums
