When I saw them on Monday, I got pulled into the pit during one of their songs and after the song was over some guy yelled in my face. I had no idea what just happened after that.

also, they should give that fourth guy in the band at elast a moment on tv.

WHAT fourth guy? You're crazy. Everybody knows Matt plays two guitars at the same time to get that sound. One of the guitars is invisible, duh.

the past few times i've seen them live (either in person or on media) i've walked away saying 'ehhh'. there was a video recently on Comcast On Demand - a Halloween show from the Metro probably 7 or 8 yrs. ago that was pretty rad. that was a good era for them.

Rise Against canceled on my date and the show got moved to a smaller venue. Tickets were only $20. It made the show so much better.

yeah at the house of blues, i believe it was you that gave me the scoop on the show being moved mr. holy balls. to you i owe you a grate deal of gratitude. i refunded my $40 ticket and only paid $20 or $18. thanks alot, although rise against woulda been nice i saw em at fitz and walters i think, across from maryjanes, and of course the engine room, still $20 is $20

I actually thought Back To Hell was really solid for any-era A3, but I understand where you're coming from.

PoliticsOfStarving (October 30, 2008)

Sadie and Dethbed are two of my favourite Trio songs... although both available now on Remains.

So the only reason to get Crimson would be for Time To Waste (which is an ok song) and Mercy Me (which I love to listen just to hear Dan's part). Which they could have released as a 7inch and there would be no reason at all to get Crimson.
