Radiohead @MSG

So, I finally saw Radiohead. I admit, it was for my girlfriend mostly, but i really wanted to become a converted fan, I wanted to love their stuff. And I was hoping that hearing them live would do it for me.

Unfortunately, it didn't. Truely, their complex arrangemnts, changing time signatures, etc, are very impressive. But honestly, some of their stuff still just sounded like noise to me. Of their old singles they only played Creep. I would have like to hear maybe a Karma Police, but oh well. It was a cool experience, and we had really good floor seats thanks to the fan club. My only complaint were the ridiculous radiohead fans behind us who i could hear bitching and moaning about me when i sat down between the encores, saying it was a waste for me to get my tickets through the fan club if i was just gonna sit there. if i heard "get the fuck up" one more time, I was gonna start a fight. I paid the same amount they did, its my business what I do in my seats, as long as it doesn't affect them. Ass-holes!

Perhaps that is what bothers me about Radiohead, many of their fans. They are so into it, they think people who aren't are ignorant retards, that we just don't "get it", so we must me stupid. You can't be a real fan of music if you don't love Radiohead. Not all of you, but certainly the majority. Anyway, I had a good time, and I'll still appreciate Radiohead in my own little way, even if its not the "right" way.

Ooooppsss, apparently this Radiohead ignoramus can't even spell Radiohead properly.

you can use the edit function, even in topic "headlines" as Dupek has clearly bilged.

Thanks Markie, never knew you could edit the Title…

It was a new feature when the board got updated a while ago. Its handy for those who cannot type or those who like a little subversion.

did radiohead have an opener?

i've seen tons of ridiculous behavior at shows and that certainly would make the top ten…

I hear you on all of that, redsock. Those fans would have stirred me to some pretty bad behavior (had I drunk a beer or two or seven), I dare say. That is *completely* obnoxious. And how dumb are they – by sitting, you're getting OUT of their way! Sheez.

There is something to R.H. fans; if you don't love them, you're missing it all and you're a shallow fool. It's kind of infuriating. While I may be a fool, I'm not shallow!

;)

yeah, they were two little geeky guys too, and i'm a big guy…. I don't know, its supposed to be about peoplecoming together, not some exclusive club…and why bring the animosity?

yeah, i could see people bitching because you WERE in their way, but bitching because you sat down? wierd. I think that sounds more NYC than Radiohead fans.

and as for those fans….Radiohead fans are people, and most people are assholes, no matter which band they like most ;)

i wish it was possible for me to avoid just ONE radiohead thread.

I feel the same way about Exit Clov threads…

Oh wait, I start all of them….

Bagster, you ignorant, shallow fool. ;)

redsock, yeah, those two particular rhead fans were idiots. To bitch at someone for sitting down.. and getting out of their way.. therefore giving you a better look at the show. Def idiots.

If you're gonna bitch at someone at a show, bitch at the moron who spends half the show on his cell phone.. as I saw a couple of people do that at the Columbia, MD, Radiohead show this past August. Don't go to ANY show and do that. It's just asinine. :cool:

christ alive. bitching at you for SITTING DOWN. when does that ever happen? usually you're getting bitched at for standing. man, those people need to get over theirselves.

are you sure you werent sitting in their seats?

or on thier laps? cause i would bitch at you if you did that

did you have a red sox hat on? thats another surefire way to get bitched at in NYC.

sloan said it best… "It's not the band we hate, it's their fans"

I avoided all Sox paraphanalia during my trip, but after the show there were actually loud chants of "Yankees suck", and "go Sox!"

Made me proud.

Aw come on, I'll bet you were reading a pair of red socks. Just like Mayor Bloomberg did on Sunday while saying in N.Y. the "perp" would have been arrested.

It's not a new feature. You could do it all along. I've done it a couple times myself before the new board changes.

No Jaguar, you must be thinking of another board. I always mis-spelt topics and was always frustrated I couldn't rectify the problem.

Now the moderators are frustrated with Dupek changing titles….. If he could have done it before I am sure he would have.

-Edit-

Markie, you are right. I owe you an apology. Now that I think of it, you couldn't change titles. My mistake. :o
