A fitting punishment indeed. One of my all-time fave PF reviews.

"Us Generation X'ers never gave the world shit. We don't care about anything. We don't even care about ourselves. We blew through our dotcom cash and we're still stuck with our student loans. Our biggest political moment was turning Ralph Nader into a presidential spoiler. And now, justice comes swiftly knocking. It is time to face that which we fear the most: the second coming of Lollapalooza's grunge-rock all-stars."
Audioslave

There was a link to the presale at DC101.com as well, I bet that lessoned everyone's chances a bit..
Personally, think it's lame to hate a band just because they are 'mainstream' - good music is good music…regardless if they are making the big $$$. If this were Soundgarden before they got big, none of you would be hating.
Originally posted by mekmad:It wouldn't have made a difference. Those that went through the DC101 site had a longer route to cover. The tickets were gone before they had a chance.

Tickets.com does indeed suck. I'm sure they'll have quite a few available in their "Premier Ticket Window" for over $100 like all the other dates on the tour.
Originally posted by ZwanzofNever:I agree, except when Audioslave is being classified as good music. Then, good music is shite…
good music is good music…

shit man.
you're right.
i've just never heard anyone say that before … you know, it isn't cool to hate a band because they're mainstream.
i'm going to have to change my whole worldview.
thanks for opening my eyes.
ps: i've never liked soundgarden, but there are plenty of "mainstream" bands that i like and plenty of "underground" bands that i hate.

wasn't trying to change anybody's worldview, just pointing out how the holier-than-thou attitudes are lame. Everyone has their taste in music, better to respect it than spread all the negativity

Does anybody have the password? I'd love to try to get tickets. When do they go on sale?

Originally posted by ZwanzofNever:Hey, ZwanzofNever: We share similar tastes in music - and we've traded tickets before… without the "scalper" crap interfering. If you go to the box office tomorrow, please get one extra for me…I'm up here in NYC for another music experience and can't get by there in person. I'll be forever grateful…I LOVE Audioslave, and I promise NOT to sing along with Chris C. if you'll help me get into the show…BTW: I was hitting "refresh" every second between Noon and 12;15, when they were "soldout"…wahhhhhh. Thanks!

City Paper should really do an article about this forum. It attracts all walks of life.

great comeback!!!
it's great, the tickets don't go on sale for another 10 minutes and it's directing me to a waiting room already. I give up.
Just got my 4 tickets for Audioslave! Yeah baby!!
