Alright so last night im embarked to St. Louis to catch the bigwig and stereotyperider tour, now mind you i saw this tour sometime last year, and i wasnt impressed with Stereotyperider, or the fact bigwig had some "personal" bouncer guy. Fortunately this was not the case tonight, no bouncer guy, and a misfortunate set by Stereotyperider, which ended up making me enjoy them less.

This shit ain't even fuckin punk music What the fuck does a venue, and private school have to do with music? who cares how the venue is...just go and support the bands. its all about the music, not the venues or what your opinion is about private school kids. i went to private school cause i wanted a good education. i am not rich. i am not spoiled. i listen to punk cause i like the music. THATS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT... THE FUCKIN MUSIC!!! YOU BLOW. hahaha. i am a fucking genius. did you see how i turned the tables on you with that little comment? fuck you. bigwig is great. "amazing transparent man? Well theres nothing amazing about them" Actually, they not only smarter, but are more well-groomed, polite, sociable, engaging, and socially aware. And they know how to spell. "oh, because kids from private schools are the only ones that ever complain? you fucking moron. you are a pile." Nelly is from St. Louis. End of story. So, what IS the story with the new Bigwig album? My band has played in springfield IL, and St louis MO, and springfield fuckung sucks dick, St louis is much better The creepy crawl rules except for some of the staff, anyway its one of the only old school venues left At least the bathrooms are clean at private schools. oh, because kids from private schools are the only ones that ever complain? you fucking moron. you are a pile. no... private school kids are smart. All this bitching and whinging makes me think I am standing in a private school playground listening to a bunch of spoilt brats All this bitching and whinging makes me think I am standing in a private school playground listening to a bunch of spoilt brats At least most bands on tour hit our city (St. Louis). And we have a handful of at least 4-5 clubs they can perform at. I have a problem sometimes affording to go to all the shows that come through. The fans might not be the best but go enjoy the shows for yourself, I guaratee we could live somewhere worse. How friggin stupid, "it's a punk club the bathrooms are suppose to be dirty." What the hell does piss on the bathroom floor have to do with punk. Granted Creepy Crawl will give anyone a gig (literally), that does not make it a good venue. Walking through the crowd to go to the restroom is just retarded. The fence around the bar area is horribly inconvenient, and no the sound is not that good. But I guess someone would argue poor sound and poor floor plans are what punk venue is about. Ugh! the local scene is waht you make it, if it sucks realize what is wrong and try to change it, the best scenes usually have a handful of people working hard to get bands to come and venues to have shows, orgainize your friends and make it happen. The creepy crawl is great seen alot of good shows there, to the person whinning about the bathroom, its a fucking punk venue its supposed to be dirty and dont piss on your hands and then you wont have to use the sink, but thats right blink and good charollette play in places with nice clean bathrooms so you dont have to dirty your precious self. can you guys shut the fuck up? its a venue. the sound is pretty good for the headlining bands and prices are always cheap. you sound like what my 15 year old sister would say if she went to the creepy crawl. and they obviously treat bands well, considering bigwig, midtown, brand new and other bands have been/are coming soon. and if you think the stl scene sucks, i agree. besides story and new empire, there is not one good local band. but my record label will change that. The last time I saw Bigwig, probably back at the end of last year since I missed them when they came around in February, they also played Knowledge. Their new drummer used to be in Split Fifty...I only saw Bigwig once since he joined and that instance wasn't one of their best performances. Josh was pretty damn good in the band. Too bad so much shit happened between everyone and Matt because Matt was fucking awesome too. The creepy crawl is one the worst places to see a show in st. louis. The bathrooms are dirty and the sinks are usually filled with piss. They have a chain link fence that you have to keep your beer or whatever inside. And the only way to get to the shitty bathrooms(which is behind the stage) is to go through the entire crowd. I have skipped many show because they are held here. Also the scene in St. Louis sucks. Not to mention your scene sucks so much dick i really dont think anyone should kill theirselves over it i mean fuck, 5 is definately better then 4. Oh man thats right. the italian girl huh? thats weird i was the bot standing next to you and your friend up front during bigwig! That was a pretty lame and uninformative review. First off, use spellcheck. Seriously. Your poor punctuation and capitalization is an eyesore. screw you bigwig is amazing. I was at this show and it was great. Don't let this dude give you the wrong impression, the Creepy Crawl is a GREAT venue. It's small and intimate and there's a way you can go and watch the drummer really really close (if that's what you're into). Sure it's a little hole in the wall bar with a stage but damn, it's a punk club, what do you expect, I have never failed to have fun there. Wow! PLease don't ever review anything again in your entire life. I'm not kidding, that was terrible, you sound like a 6th grader writing a bad book report. I don't really know what else to say, it was terrible, I feel stupider just for taking time out of my life to read this damn review Fireside show - the cover you're talking about was Fugazi's "Waiting Room", and they did a damn good job of it. Saw the tour in Chicago give ya mini-review. has anyone else noticed that they having been reviewing a lot of bigwig stuff show or cd, its just a lot, not that im complaining, i hope they get josh back soon, bigwig slays! bigwig is amazing live. everyone knows that. one of the top 5, at the least top 10 live bands out there right now; if you like them, anyway. those fuckin songs reach out and rip out your jugular live. kick-ass stuff I'm seeing this show tonite. Hopefully Stereotyperider has their shit together. and Gamits are playing so the show should kick ass! this was one of the shittiest reviews i've read on the message board. one i don't know why someone would rip on a club so much to try to not make people want to go to anythere shows, therefore making it shittier for local bands and bands from out of town to have a good show. and secondaly, one of stereotyperiders problems was a broken bass string, in case if you don't know shit like that happens to every band. and redlight runners were a ska band and had NO Fat Wreck Chords sound at all, unless if you love the mad caddies, otherwise i wouldn't put them next to Strung Out, Rise Against, Swinging Utters, Lagwagon and so on. Also bigwig played Fugazi's waiting room, and not just that "operation ivy cover song" which for some reason no one in the crowd knew the name. both times i've seen Bigwig they've done Knowledge. last time, they said "Whoever knows this song come up on stage and sing this with us." I tried my damnedest, but the bouncers at the Vic weren't having any of it. |
