Reviews



This show was during August of 2002, and it was very extreme hot temperature during that month. I went to the show 20 minutes before anything was slated to kick off., just to be on the safe side. Different from the Fm/Casualties review I did, this concert was at a much smaller more compact venue. As soon as I got in there were about 4 people up front, usually I would expect more people for D4, but the crowd was unusually small, and it was promoted well. I found my way up to the front and waited with much elbow room for the first band The Arrivals. Guess what I also found out Eminfag and Dgay and Papa Suck were playing In Boise the same night and eminem needed the place for his after party, oh boy was everyone pissed, they had to cut the concert a little early.

The Arrivals walked up on stage a little drunk and started up. Now I hadnt heard the Arrivals ever so I wasnt expecting much. But wham, they started and were awsome. I don't know any of the song names that were played or anything but they were very talented. They didnt put me to sleep and they didnt make me jump up and down but they were great, I would recommend their music to anyone. Next up, The Lawrence Arms.

Now to tell you the truth I'm not really into the whole generic pop punk scene or emoish scene. But The Lawrence Arms sure are good, thats part of the reason I showed up for this show. they started up with "Navigating The Windward Passage" the song off the Warped 2002 compilation, and I sang along. They played ALL of their songs from Apathy and Exhaustion, although they did play "Faintly Falling Ashes" from the 7" with Shady View Terrace. They played "Brickwall Views," "The First Eviction Notice," "Ghost Stories," and "Porn and Snuff." They played one more which I think was new. Their set was cut a little short due to the time and the Eminem after party and all. I am demanding you listen to a little bit of TLA, they play a great live show and have a great CD. Dillinger Four was next.

By the time Dillinger Four was ready at least 100 people found their way up front, and I found I had lots less elbow space. Dillinger Four came out with the siren aboce the stage and played "Mosh For Jesus," an all-time favorite D4 song. they continued their set with "Our Science Is Tight," "Maximum Piss and Vineagar," "Situationist Comedy," "Shotgun Confessional," and "Total Fucking Gone Song." At that time security was pushing people towards the door. Some people fought back but everyone knew that was the end of the night. Everyone else was pissed but I was glad I got to see those bands before the stupid afterparty.

    My Score:

    yes his review sucked, but at least it was better than no review. He told us some of the songs they played and it was interesting knowing about the eminem after party bla bla bla, so it was better to hear about a show then not hearing about it at all...and I don't think anyone would argue with me. even though it sucked it wasn't bad enough to not be posted, maybe just proof read or done by the other guy who went to the show.

    a hot carl is when the hooker shits on your chest. a dirty sanchez is something else.

    On related note: try a hollywood, where you are doing her from behind, stick your fingers in her ass scap as much shit out as you can then stuff your fingers up her nose and scream "tell me your shit dont stink"

    Wuss, I've now decided that you suck. I've been reading your comments lately, and this puts the tip into the bin.

    You're telling us that a bad review is better than no review?

    You're a fucking genious.

    Did the lawrence arms play Boatless Booze Cruise Part 1? Please tell me they did, that's one of the best songs ever created.

    I get confused- is it a "Hot Karl" or a "Dirty Sanchez" when the hooker shits on your chest (or is it the other way around)?

    D4 own.

    yes i was at this concert and i was talking to D4 singer, you know the fat one, in the bathroom and he was fucking funny. After the show all these rap gangsta from boise ideaho where out side all pissed wanting to get in. If you dont know what boise idaho is like, its like a small city with no crime and defently no gangs, just guys trying to pretend when they drive around in there riced out cars. SO it was pretty fucking stupid, there where some bad talking going between the eminime fans. I think they where mad cuz they like to pretned there is a ghetto in boise but there isnt.

    not even my hatred for eminem can save your review from not sucking.

    Their is no 7 inch with shady view terrace, it was a split EP, and that song is also the unlisted song on ghost stories at the end, without electric guitars.

    what the fuck is up with calling the lawrence arms "generic" "pop-punk" and "emoish"... i'm glad i'm not the only one ridiculously pissed about this idiotic description of them... TLA has roots back to the days of slapstick (RIP) they are far from generic... i could rant and rave about your idiocy for an hour but i'd rather go read a review that's worth my time

    My Score:

    okay, yr pissed about eminem, i would be too. but just cuz the show was cut short doesn't mean the review should be.

    what made the arrivals good? that they rocked? that makes me want to check them out, your opinion is really valid after calling the lawrence arms generic pop punk.

    and the lawrence arms, i love those guys, the contrast between brendan's songs and chris's, the lyrics, it's all amazing. i can't wait for plea for peace. p.s. porn(o) and snuff films IS ON apathy and exhaustion.

    what did dillinger four do? so they played these seven songs, one of which doesn't even exist... being from minneapolis and seeing these guys a number of times i know that they did at least something beyond "go up, play, leave". basically, i don't care that much about the exact set list as much as i care about the show and the vibe.

    maybe you'll try harder next time...

    Why is there one crummy paragraph devoted to one of the headliners, Dillinger Four? I'm sorry but one paragraph does not do these guys justice. They frickin' rock live and being from their hometown of St. Paul, MN, I was able to catch one of their record release shows for "Situationist Comedy" and I even scored a setlist. They are amazing!
