Just saw him play 2 shows at a small theater in Denver... WOW!!! Last night's show was at least 2.5 hours long. AWESOME setlists, definitely switched them up between the two nights... What a good dude!

    I love Ben Harper! Saw him open for PJ in 09 and have most of his albums. He is a great performer! :D

    I have had nothing but good experiences at Ben Harper shows. I had a PJ shirt on one time and he kept pointing at it during the show. Talked to him briefly afterwards once and he was pretty damn cool.

    at the end of a veeeery long day at bonnaroo i caught him at 1 a.m......he played til just after 3 and even though I was dead on my feet I had an exceptional time....definitely a must see live
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I only saw him last year when he was opening for PJ in Dublin, Belfast and London and I have to say I was kind of disappointed. I love him, all the record, he is on of my favorite artist, maybe I was expecting too much, maybe it's just because he was opening band and all the song where the same pretty much in all 3 shows I don't know but I was really sad because of that :cry:
    I need to give him a second chance on his show only not on festival or like opening band full BH show

    YES HE FUCKING ROCKS!

    RELENTLESS 7 JUST FUCKING TOTALLY TEAR IT UP!

    CAN'T BELIEVE HE ISN'T GONNA BE AT PJ20.. :-OOOO
  • pjtaperpjtaper Posts: 3,020
    the lineup at PJ20 still boggles my mind... Ben will NOT be there, I heard it in person, from Ben himself.

    But hey, at Least Josh Homme will be there :roll:

    :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: He was at that fucking MSG show and opened the band for a tour, if he isn't a 'friend' of the band then wut the frig.

    Ya he blows, errr KYUSS PLEASE!!!!
  • pjtaperpjtaper Posts: 3,020
    yeah, that's what I'm saying, Ben has been a friend of the band forever... that's how I heard about him, they put an article in the 10C Newsletter, think I was a freshman in highschool...

    Josh Homme SUCKS, Kyuss is better without him, and qotSA has nothing to do with PJ

    Yea man, QOTSA is a bloody weird one.
  • DewieCoxDewieCox Posts: 11,430
    How is QOTSA that weird? They're no different from PJ than the Strokes, MMJ, Bad Religion, Ben Harper or any of their other opening bands, and it seems like Homme and Stone are friends.

    because I thought PJ20 was supposed to be bands that have had something PJ related over the years... and because Josh Homme is an arrogant prick!

    I'm a fan of Ben Harper and was at those 3 shows, I thought they sounded great and I say they because it was BH with Relentless 7 and not BH solo. I too was slightly disappointed they didn't mix it up a little more, but I wasn't all that suprised as it was BH and Relentless 7 supporting their album and not BH solo. I'd highly recommend catching a Ben Harper solo show though, he's great.

    I know where you're coming from as I too was a little suprised and disappointed if I'm honest with the line up, but I guess Stone has known the Queens guys from a long time back too as Loosegrove put out their first album in 1998 (think that's right!) and they've played with them a few times which I guess is your point as they've toured with Ben Harper god knows how many times.
