Is that a euphemism? Did Madonna make you eat from the jetty? Uuuugh, Although, don't get me wrong, I too would have participated. I have long been a fan of the spiny devil that is lobster.
Those insanely catchy tunes are terrible but insanely catchy. I will be humming them to the grave
Euphemism! That's funny.
Staples Center LA, 2002'ish.. Damn dude this is a long one. You know how I get all nervous around long ones.
2002? Wow, is crazy to think that was 20 years ago.
It is a longy, I don't know what the heck is wrong with me tonight. I shall have a word with myself and return forthwith!
Long time ago huh? Crazy. I was married to an Asian chick back then. It's a good one Boom, thanks for the reminder, I should probably share the not short version one of these days.
LA. Sound echoed terribly at Staples, I couldn't handle it, "I'm outta here" by the second song. Staples is for basketball. My then wife, "I'm staying." I took off to the smoking section on the roof but when I got to the double glass doors a great big giant fat chick had her boobs out, they're smashed against the glass doors and she's got her tongue out like woah!!!!
I urgently skipped right past those doors which I wasn't aware was the smoking section and out the next set of double doors before anyone noticed. I'm in VIP now. Man it was dope! On top of Staples Center, overlooking DTLA. All the lobster and good food and beer I could drink. I stayed there the whole show.
Ha, that sounds awesome man. I think you should do a non short version. It would make a bad sounding concert bearable.
I know that feeling when places that are not music venues hold his and the sounds is atrocious. There is a place in Glasgow which all the big artists used to book but it was a conference hall not a music venue and was echoey as feck. Thankfully, it's long gone so they don't torture us.
Free food and beer and smoking. Raar, that's how to do it!!
I take those things into account too. When it's a big name like Madonna (Elton John, Prince) I rely on them, trusting they wouldn't perform anywhere with shitty acoustics.
I was just rappin with Cmplxty about this how when I get to telling these stories after however many years I've been here now I feel braggy. We were just talking about this the other day. Growing up in LA raised by a single mother who was a nurse on night shift. Shows are just what I did. So many venues there's no way you can hit'em all in 1 weekend.
Then multiply that by LA which I was unaware at the time every musician who wants to be someone tours through. It's just where I grew up. I really don't know how many performers I've seen dude.
Cheers.
I don't think it's bragging. I think it's sharing the beef!
It's kinda cool to someone who is not American the whole LA thing. And yeah, piss of bands go there to crack the big time.
We miss out on quite a few big bands being a little place, which sucks ass
