Brian Fallon

ledvedderman

The guy deserves his own thread. Can't wait for Painkillers

marjen

Agreed. Loving all the songs I have heard so far. Cant wait for Friday.

Saw him last night at the electric factory in Philly. Show was very good, he sounded great and the band was tight. The Horrible Crowes songs certainly sounded more polished to me, but all of the new stuff was really good too. He even threw in AC by Bruce which people went nuts for. The venue (holds like 2500-3k) was a little over half full, but it was a good crowd. Came on around 940, off right before 11. Excited to hear the album cover to cover on Friday.

I'm going mad in anticipation for this record. Friday, a proper leak, or my vinyl pre-order can't get here soon enough!

ComeToTX

listening now. not a huge departure. i like it.

As I mentioned on the other thread, I'm a late arrival to the Gaslight party, but once I fall for a band, I fall hard.

I've been binge catching up on all Brian Fallon projects for the last year or so. I've heard the four or five songs from Painkillers that have already been released and really, really like them.

I'm really digging the songs that have been released. "A Wonderful Life" sounds like a Springsteen track from The River. "Nobody Wins"...man, what can I say about that song. It cuts me like a knife. I'm trying to find out if the chorus is "Oh I'll never see you again" or "I hope I never see you again"...or both

I was also at the show last night at the Electric Factory. I thought he sounded great. Loved the extended jam on A Wonderful LIfe. Looking forward to hear the rest of the album on Friday.

Have you gone back to his before Gaslight Days? Some really good (And alot of really bad) demos floating around. This Charming Man, Surrogate McKenzie, Amping Copper, The Coffeehouse Sessions.

I cannot wait to get home from work tonight and listen to the new songs!

I theoretically love this new album that's not out until Friday....

It's "hope I never see you again" ... has to be ... because goddamn that's a cold-ass song.

Wobbie

I was very bummed he didn't tour anywhere near.

I have not.

My affair with Gaslight began in 2014, when Pearl Jam played ACL Fest. As I usually do, I began to investigate other bands on the bill.

I gravitated to Gaslight almost immediately, especially after I started calling up some of their lyrics. I found that every song had at least one line that stabbed me in the guts.

I like that.

I still didn't know many Gaslight songs when they took the stage that festival. It was a crash course. But I still dug them.

I kept with them after the show, falling deeper and deeper into various YouTube rabbit holes.

Then one day my wife, whose taste in music (God bless her) I do not often share, told me one day about this band called The Horrible Crowes. I dismissed her immediately, thinking it was just some other weirdly named band she'd found on the Weirdly Named Band station on Sirius.

But I kind of liked them.

It was literally weeks before I found out it was the guy from the Gaslight Anthem. I have only barely dipped my toes into Molly and the Zombies -- which is odd because, frankly, that brand of music is playing right in my wheelhouse right now.

Fast forward a few months, and I'm listening to like four Brian Fallon songs over ... and over ... and over ... and over ... and over ...

Like I said, I fall hard.

Haha That's an awesome story! Similar thing happened to me, I was big into Gaslight and kinda ignored The Horrible Crowes stuff until the hiatus was official and Brian started writing Painkillers. But since then, i have been listening to THC and MATZ alot.

I have seen pictures of vinyl on facebook from someone who had it shipped, so today is a possibility if you are lucky.

Cliffy6745

Same here. Have really gotten into The Horrible Crowes and MATZ over the past few months.

marjen

Listening now. I so far don't like the new Long Drives as much as the MATZ version as I LOVED that version. But I am sure it will grow on me like Smoke did. Otherwise such a great album. Very very solid.
