lol this band sold out in like 1991

Anyway, I'm not surprised anyone was leaving. Three and a quarter hours is a lot for a casual audience to take in. Seats are probably a good idea, honestly.

This is not a reunion in any form. A cheap sell out. I ve seen them 4 times.
4 times billy spitting around on stage, insulting fans, bad mood, not really motivated, behaving like an asshole.

I am more disconnectedato this band than ever.

just Hoping That the eps in 2019 or 2020 are listenable. Please no fuckn monuments 2 for gods sake. Jesus

You are welcome to that opinion. Just don't try and pull others down that want to go see them and have fun.

I guess it would depend on how many people are leaving early. When you start pushing 11 pm on a work night, some people are gonna have to leave for various reasons.

I just realized they don't have any amps on stage. Looks weird.

Hasn't james said in interviews something to the effect that he gets a kick out of playing obnoxious songs? I have a suspicion stairway is James injecting some snark into this setlist.

eyeboogers · 07-13-2018, 11:34 AM

Did that video intro start with a white van arriving? :-O

Funbags · 07-13-2018, 11:36 AM

What’s Stairway even about? I can’t stand that song so I’ve never listened to the lyrics *shrug*

Shades of the TFE tour, where all the front few rows could hear was the sound of pick hitting strings. At least gold circle will give you the ultimate Jimmeh experience!

BurtSampson · 07-13-2018, 11:51 AM

Billy has totally lost the plot. He can’t leave his narcissism unchecked for one tour and it’ll get panned as an overblown mess as a result. This in no way highlights the reunion as being special, they’re just backing musicians to the Billy show. Why couldn’t they have just done something simple like the Arising tour for fucks sake

slayed23 · 07-13-2018, 11:55 AM

The intro is cool. However, leading into Disarm with them showing pictures of Billy as a kid is kinda narcissistic.

That's just it though if you think about it. Almost every song SP has put out relates to Billy's life. Not James, D'arcy, Jimmy or anyone else.

Ram27 · 07-13-2018, 11:56 AM

* No idea why they played Eye. No idea why it was on Rotten Apples either btw

* I still maintain that, personally, costumes and videos are dumb. come out in a t shirt and jeans and rip through Stumbleine

* everyone talking about ticket prices is making me sad. i spent like $40 for one ticket in the upper decks at Indy

You don't like Eye and like MTAE. That says a lot.

you are welcome to that opinion. just don't try and spin the concert into something positive when others can tell that it's an obvious cash-grab-shitshow with zero artistic integrity that revolves around one man's ego

What concert isn't a cash grab??

Oklahoma Sexual · 07-13-2018, 12:20 PM

some people are bothered by that, BECAUSE OF B'ARCY'S OWN WORDS for the last 30 fuckin' years. he turned into a hypocrite and he needs to be called out for it.

free ones.

Billy doesn’t need money. It’s about love and recognition. It’s all Billy’s ever wanted. I mean, pretty obvious for any longtime SP fan.

Were you at the show?

seahorserodeo78 · 01:57 PM

Yet to read a negative review about the show from anyone that was actually there. The reviews and the people that were there have given it praise. The only negative talk I have read so far are from people who weren't even there and have been making fun of this tour before it even began and Billy for a decade now. Looks like its a great show that is going to please the people that paid to see it, which is really all that matters.

Shadaloo · 07-13-2018, 01:57 PM

For real, there was circus and Wizard of Oz music and song intros in like 1997, the Machina tour had that weird robot voice intro. The spectacle isn't really anything new, though it's never been quite this large in scale.
