    I've seen them twice so far and both times they blew me away. You won't be let down. amazzzzzzzzzing!
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    saw them at the Wamu theater in the garden, they were fucking amazing
    PJ at MSG in 2008! Mission Accomplished

    The band all knows. We're too afraid to mention.
    Don't want to be part of Frank's luncheon.

    On the weekend? Hm, I'll have to look into this!

    Seen them twice, once in a super small hole in the wall venue and once in a major league hockey arena...both times were freakin insane...you will have an amazing time!! As much energy as they have on the CDs...multiply times 16 for a live show! :) Have fun!


    They're playing Centennial Olympic Park as part of some Southern Comfort music-fest. I remember the same fest a few years back with The Flaming Lips and Wolfmother. I think it's May 17th, if I'm not mistaken, a Sunday in mid-may for sure.

    What was your answer for the skill-testing question? 17.2?

    Spoke too soon, turns out QOTSA canceled out and have been replaced with Against Me. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.

    Just got back and it freakin rocked! First moshing experience and I was front row centre for most of the night, for a tall skinny guy it was a helluva accomplishment! At the song Burn the Witch I ended up getting security to toss me over the railing haha. QOTSA was surprisingly silent though between songs, I always thought they'd be more into the chatting with the crowd. Killer show though.

    Was that this year? If so I was there too - on the barrier in front of Troy. He was out of it by the end of the night after all of those vodka shots! They still kept it amazingly tight for how much they were drinking!

    That was my 4th time seeing them - must admit though, I miss Nick (first time I'd seen them without him)!!!

    Best time ever was Manchester Apollo before Nick left/got kicked out.

    shitty things that happened in vancouver:

    bassist hit in head with shoe
    josh hit in hand with shoe
    mic blew - no lyrics for half song
    next song mic fell down - again no lyrics for half song
    josh forgot the words to last verse of burn the witch and improv'd with gibberish
    josh was drunk and barely spoke to the crowd at all


    worst of the 3 QOTSA shows ive seen. granted it was the first night of the tour, they needed to work the kinks out.,

    this bass players rocks the eff out up there though.
