Oh and plus, it's called Cure Fest and Interpol, Mogwai, and The Rapture are playing too.

do you know what venue they'll be playing?

Amsouth

WHOA! I'm there!

awesome.

This really does sound too good to be true....

I've waited a long time to try bootlegging at AmSouth. This is like fighting Iron Mike in Mike Tyson's Punchout.

I believe in you, RD.

that's good news!

maybe i'm nuts, but i'm looking forward to seeing interpol more than i am the cure for the (lemme calculate) 9th or 10th time.

oh my god. This is awesome news!!!!

could i be any happier? well perhaps if i wasn't awakened by a drug induced phone call at 6 in the morning, but this makes my day so much better.

Now that I think about it, the Cure are the only show I've ever actually enjoyed at Starwood.

I'm down.

and im there.

very good news.

I dunno. I might go if I have the cash. The only one of those bands I really want to see is the Cure. I saw them there in 1996 or so and it was awesome!

I'll definitely be going to DMB/Guster and John Mayer/Maroon 5 in August, though.

By the way, ya'll, it's called Starwood Amphitheatre again. Get with it.

Finally, all these years of not acknowledging the name change has paid off.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you JamieCarroll: The only person who can make that statement on this message board and not get any shit for it!

JC, I salute you.

My thoughts exactly.

That was exactly my reaction! I still haven't gotten a straight answer on why it's been changed back. Is it just temporarily sponsor-less (like "the Coliseum") or, in a convenient turn of events, is it now sponsored by Starwood Hotels and Resorts? Either way, it makes me feel good to hear it being called "Starwood" again.

Temporarily sponsor-less.

Now that we are obvious Big Wigs in the Republican Party, and have the ear of the President, Keith, I suggest we name it Peace Frog Productions/The Privates Amphitheater at Starwood

has anyone else wished that it could be something like the tampax coliseum for a while? no? okay.

According to inside sources, it will renamed to the Kenny Rogers' Roaster Ampitheatre, sometime in October.

Can't they just call it Gambler Ampitheater?

(Edited by carligula at 5:41 pm on May. 7, 2004)

Amphi(bian)theater?

Ok, sorry

no, but thats a great idea. surely you perverts can think of some good ones.

Astroglide Arena?

Actually, they were going to rename the Coliseum that because, much like a tampon, the Titans have only one string and they're only good for one period.

I'm sure someone here hasn't heard that one.

I hadn't heard it. I wish I could still say that, but alas....

What about the Dio/Deep Purple/Scorpions show?

"I think they're on to us."

just when you thought life was great.......it gets even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

words can't describe how happy and excited i am to hear this..........i will be at both nashville and atlanta. you can count on that.

Muse is also playing. I saw them in 1996 opening for Kiss and I have been awestruck ever since. Pick up a copy of Absolution at Grimey's...especially for those who like Radiohead. It's like Pachelbel on steroids.

Jeremy

yeah, i'd rather just listen to radiohead though.

also playing in addition to muse is:
Cursive, Thursday, Head Automatica,
The Cooper Temple Clause, and Auf Der Maur.

Cooper Temple Clause is really really excellent for anyone who hasnt checked them out yet...kind of like a mix of ash, muse, the faint and oasis. lots of space rock with electronic experimentation.

this show keeps getting better and better.
although...i could do without the cursive/thursday aspect.

(Edited by SuperElk at 10:23 am on May. 12, 2004)

not me...at least after ok computer anyway.

Honestly I wish it was just the Cure again. I could do without the other acts, and I won't be arriving until the Cure play and maybe for interpol. I just hope that all these acts don't jack the ticket price too high, and I REALLY hope that it doesn't affect the Cure's set time. I need at least 2 hours!

ok, let's talk dollaz


for $40 i'll introduce you to interpol
for $40 i'll let you watch me and p. banks make out
and for $5 i'll let you watch me kick Melissa ADM's ass

you pay to get into shows? i thought you just waved around your banger sisters pass and got into places no questions asked.

Sina that is soooo 2 years ago.!

Yeah, these days when he wants to get in free, he just has to mention that Dave Grohl is a huge Slack fan.

(Edited by carligula at 2:16 pm on May. 12, 2004)

HOT DAMN!! "Kick up the Fire and let the flames loose" is a great album. I agree, SuperElk. Everyone, please listen to Cooper Temple Clause if you get a chance.
