KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2010 (Dec. 11 & 12)

[U2inUtah]

That's a grown adult picking his nose and eating it on camera.

I will take your word for it

Excited for The Black Keys and Brandon Flowers up next.

Brandon might as well pull out his cover of "IGWSHA" since he's in the "City of Angels"

 

[bono_212]

I'm really, really excited for Brandon, the more I think about it. I hope this is good.

 

[PhilsFan]

The drummer for the Black Keys looks really old.

 

[Jive Turkey]

But he bangs those drums like a motherfucker

 

[LemonMelon]

The Black Keys have a ton of bite to their sound and it translates well live. They sound terrific. Not much to watch though.

 

[bono_212]

He looks like a nerdy college buddy of mine who was into ballet.

It's as if they were Josh Koscheck's eye.

The drummer for the Black Keys looks really old.

I think I saw him on a public station fund-raiser drive.

Best night ever

 

[PhilsFan]

I tuned in during Everlasting Love, did they play anything before that?

 

[bono_212]

They OPENED with "Tighten Up". Not sure what they were thinking there.

 

[PhilsFan]

Damn it, I wanted to see that one. Damn this poorly timed concert. You shall not conflict with a man's football game.

Everlasting Love

[bono_212]

I'm assuming there are two stages, ortherwise I don't know how they're pulling this thing off, so opening with your big hit seems a very ill-advised move, IMO. 1) Because people might not stay through your whole set and 2) because the people coming over from the other stage are going to be pissed they missed it.

 

[u2popmofo]

I believe it's one stage that rotates, at least it was like that in previous years.

 

[PhilsFan]

They're playing an octave lower on the chorus for She's Long Gone, and I actually think it works better that way.

O I C



Well, I'm pretty convinced that these guys aren't for me .

 

[u2popmofo]

Note to all first-time Acoustic Christmas-goers, these times don’t change much. This is not like a show in a huge amphitheater where acts run late cause they’re in the back sippin’ on gin & juice. Frankly, we’re ball-busters. Not only does everyone stick to the schedule but the bands play on a giant turn-table preventing down time. When A Day To Remember hits the very last note, Switchfoot spins around and hits their first. We don’t leave you much time for bathroom breaks.

Yeah.

 

[bono_212]

Aw shit, that is awesome.

 

[U2inUtah]

The drummer for the Black Keys looks really old.

He's 30.

Ha, I figured he was around that. I think it's just the lighting/him not wearing glasses/working real hard on the drums that makes him look real old.

 

[u2popmofo]

30? Friggin' oldies.

 

[bono_212]

Brandon

 

[U2inUtah]

Ha, I figured he was around that. I think it's just the lighting/him not wearing glasses/working real hard on the drums that makes him look real old.

I only checked cause he looks younger than me through my eyes, and I'm 31.

 

[PhilsFan]

I meant old in comparison to how he normally looks, that's all.

 

[bono_212]

My computer stream seemed to enjoy freezing on images of his face that made him look really old.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm listening to Attack and Release and/or Rubber Factory tonight. Fuckyeah.

 

[bono_212]

They didn't play the one song by them I like .

 

[bono_212]

Brandon does not...sound so great .

 

[LemonMelon]

Brandon can't sing live.

Crossfire is a good song, and if they play Boots, that'll be nice. I just really miss their rhythm section.
