I was really looking forward to seeing MUSE and was trying to work my way up through the crowd.
The band just before MUSE were Indochine (anyone know them?) and their music was a mix of french chanson music and popular rock. It stank. The performance was over the top as well, I think I remember the singer wearing a necklace made of roses.
I hated it and refused to rock out. But I was surrounded by Indochine die-hards and they started pushing me back.
So I rocked out. I smiled, I jumped, I went "Yeah!".
The crowd loved me! I was their MRCIF (most recently converted indochine fan). They helped me stay up front. And when Indochine stopped playing after an hour of torture, they all left to get a drink and I stood on the first row.
MUSE were amazing.
PS Here's a pic of the singer that evening... no necklace, but still:
When my family first moved back to France, Indochine was The Shit.
I remember thinking, "France is musical purgatory."
I still do.
Wow. If I refer to some of these posts, I must have an extremely embarrassing record collection.
That said, I confess that:
1) I don't like Black, even though I have doo-doo-do-do-doo-do-doo'ed with the crowd.
2) I bought a Vanessa Carlton album.0 -

Well, this is my personal hall of shame
I saw Menudo live (and enjoyed it).
I saw REO Speedwagon and Poison live
I have all Cinderella and Warrant CDs
I have not one but two Winger CDs
I must have listened to the song When the Children Cry (White Lion) like a billion times
I really enjoy Meatloaf's I will do anything for love (but I won't do that)
I'm a total absolute sucker for Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler)
I've seen Pretty in Pink way too many times
And I'll say it, I love the song Pump the Jam by Technotronic0 -
o my that is my confession for no code and binaural and I just purchased lost dogs a few months ago.brainofPJ wrote:No Code is the album for me. that came out in '96? i first gave it a 'serious' listen 4 yrs later. by serious i mean straight through. i haven't done that yet with Riot Act yet and it's 4 yrs later...
Binaural also took along time for me to come around to...but that album is freakn brilliant imo...http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk103/Moonturltemoon/PJ MSG 6-24-08/

I dig the new Dixie Chicks song Not Ready To Make Nice. Guess I like the fact they're sticking to their beliefs.Adolescence in essence is all about trust.
Leaving is for the answering machine.0 -
I've seen No Doubt live.
TWICE!Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?0 -
I think "Just Like A Pill" by Pink is a great tune. I also think that kinda-rockin song where Kelly Clarkson is being hot in the video is a decent pop-rock tune.
Both are better than almost anything on riot act.Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?0 -
This girl I've been seeing listens to Nelly Furtado......and I don't mind it. I actually dig her voice. I listen to The Fixx too. Red Skies is an amazing song.Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.0
