OK.

There might have been a few dudes in my high school that would only listen to INXS and TPOH.

 

Being a drummer in an alt band, I wanted to slap their Polo shirts and boat shoes clean off'a them. 

 

 

had the unfortunate opportunity to see INXS once, lamest show I ever saw.

Jesus, INXS now?

Next thing you know you'll be bashing The Eagles or Grand Funk Railroad, or Iron Maiden.

I wish Canucks fans would learn from lessons of the past. 

 

Guys like Brough, Halford, Sekeres, and Price are nothing but audio bloggers. Yes, some of them have journalism degrees. Do they put information they learned 30 years ago to use today? No. What's the lesson to learn? Stop giving these guys any attention. 

 

It sounds like Seravalli said a MUCH more watered down version of what Brough tweeted.

I can see them setting up a trip wire. Yup Torn ACL now lol. Ugh ever since the team went down with covid I can’t stand the media guys. Spewing bs left and right

 

It's also funny how their no profession quicker to pat themselves on the back than journalists.

 

I think we are lucky in Vancouver with so much content & more opportunity to find something we like, but certain media members have definitely blown any remaining credibility they had the last few years.. *ahem Sekeras ahem*

 

Seems like Frank heard this & mentioned it without a follow-up prior (since he's a national guy), then pessimistic Brough went with it a little too strongly.

 

Atleast theres relief that it's incorrect.

Too bad you caught them on an off night. They put on a hell of a show on their games.

 

Now Cage the Elephant....that was crap. Though I guess their opening act (Silver Sun Pickups) absolutely DEMOLISHING the place first, was a tough act to follow. Probably just said "Well we're not outplaying that, time to mail it in"

Worst show ever for me.

The Kinks.

Showed up late.

Short set. Only played stuff from their last two albums.

No encore.

 

Similar time:

Robert Plant. Even though he did only his solo and Honeydripper stuff.

He gave it his all and was quite the showman. Amazing stage setup.

So for a short show I got my money's worth.

Serevalli isn't a fan of the Mikheyev deal, so maybe that played into it a bit. Our local media goofs taking things and overblowing them is par for the course.

short shows can be really good sometimes. Saw Ray Charles do about a 70 min set that was just great. Same thing with James Brown, in Downtown Disney of all places.

Did they sell out the orange tshirts for this. It looked really cool, but I've looked on the site and the team store and there's nothing.

It's different if it's someone that gives 100% for 70 minutes. Than a band that's just to sell merchandize and put a half-assed effort. To be fair. Dave and Ray Davies had an almost Oasis type schism between them, maybe that factored into it.

Not playing tonight. It's preseason, so nothing to worry about.

Good. Thought it was another injury.

"I wanted to clarify that there were some initial concerns on the Canucks end that Brock Boeser cut his hair too short by 3 inches. It appears it was only cut 2 inches so his recovery from his hand injury should be as expected"
