Deftones rescheduled a bunch of dates, but fortunately the KC date was not one of them. Meaning a lot of their fans will have cash tied up for like 18 months. IDGAF about the $400 on tickets as much as I do about the principle of not screwing your fans. Likely many of whom that money is needed now for basics like groceries and utilities. Very unlikely I'll ever put money into anything Deftones again. Even if a band I've really wanted to see is touring with them.

If anyone needs a backing track it's rob zombie. Maybe he's better in recent years, but in every live video the guy jumps around, gets winded and half-tries to sing. Give me a lead man who doesn't treat singing as secondary to performing live..stand still kurt cobain-style if that's what it takes to sing. And I love white zombie / rob zombie so it's frustrating.

Some dude was going “me, me!” and Rob said “no, the green one.” At that point, my buddy realized it was him so he yelled at the stage. Rob hocked up a big green spit ball and hit my buddy with it, right in Barker’s face. |

I won't say I regret it but the Red Hot Chili Peppers really weren't very good live. Sound was fairly off and definitely not cohesive. Considering what we paid for the tickets, I was left with a feeling of regret and definitely don't have to see them again.

Dane, you should expound on that "Joe Perry is trash" take
That's first time I've ever heard anyone say that... you saying Whitford created all those classic riffs? |

In terms of songs, Steven Tyler wrote the bulk of their early 70's songs, with Tom Hamilton, Whitford and Perry contributing during their mid-to-late 70's albums. Once they signed with Geffen, nearly all of their songs were either co-writes with outside successful songwriters (Desmond Child, Mark Hudson, etc) or just written outright by outside writers. In terms of Joe, yeah, he wrote a couple of classic riffs but speaking strictly as a guitarist, he's several rungs below Brad Whitford, the guy that played all of the killer guitar solos on those later records. Brad Whitford never had the marketability of Perry. |

But yeah I can see what you're saying about the marketability angle, Joe's the ripped and tan dude so the media naturally pushed him |

Perry puts on a show but Brad Whitford is the man in Aerosmith. The last time I saw them was around 2008 on a dual bill with Lenny Kravitz (who was freaking unbelievable). Brad looked like a typical grandfather going to church on Sunday: Nice slacks, button down shirt and a sports coat. Perry looked like a rock star but was buried in the mix. |

As for the backing track, I do have to admit I am a fan of a genre that uses it quite extensively. Though some of the groups in that genre do often play with backing band and some have pretty much exclusively become performer(s) plus band.

I think that DWM is lost in history now. It was a bad time for the band, but it had a lot of solid tracks on it. I paid $8.00 to see them then- so skipped their reunion tours when they wanted 20 times that to hear the same tired songs. Judgeing by the comments, I don't think I missed much. |
