    Okay, assuming that Puddle of Dumb (sorry, Mudd) isn't a joke......

    I was hanging out at the Rainbow in Hollywood a few years back with my wife and could hear POM soundchecking at the ROXY (which is right next door)...my wife likes POM so I went to the box office and asked if I could buy tickets for the 'mystery' performer that night and was told it was a private concert for VIVID video (the porn company)...I told my wife they were playing for the pornstars and she lost about all the respect for them that she had...(go figure) and then, about ten minutes after soundcheck, the entire band with their management came into the Rainbow for some cocktails.I took my wife in to meet them...she was reluctant at first, but then I pointed out what a golden opportunity it was to meet the creators of such classics as "she fucking hates me" and all the other insignificant shit they have written (only I worded it so much more nicely) and I convinced her to let me bring her to their table...I introduced her to Wes and the boys and she professed her earnest admiration and shook all their hands...after a moment of awkward silence, Wes (the singer guy) asked me what I though of them and I said (and I quote) "You guys are great! You are like Nirvana, but without any of the passion." Their jaws dropped and I grabbed my wife's hand and walked away.......

    One of the best days of my entire life........ :)

    And that's a true story gang..... ;)

    Oh well, in that case I'll go for Camper Van Beethoven instead! Either way I want David Lowery onstage with Ed! :D

    some of us in the "Other Music" thread have been posting on a Black Crowes thread for the last week or two and it came up how awesome it would be if The Black Crowes opened up for Pearl Jam... different styles, but two extremely awesome live bands...

    either that or i'd like a pearl jam/nickelback/creed triple bill...

    i keed... i keed... :lol:

    I've said this before on here I think...

    I'm not sure I would ever want to see The Hip open for Pearl Jam ESPECIALLY in Canada.

    I think that some sort of co-headlining show in Canada would be pretty incredible though where they split 20 song sets or something :)

    To have the Hip open for any band in Canada would be blasphemy. They are Canada's band.
