Someone needs to take the reigns and say "wooooah" this is going too far. Why do we need to trot out these same cracks every time her name comes up?

I dunno, I get the impression that you are beating a dead horse here, and pretty much closing the barn door after the horses have fled. It's wrong to look a gift horse in the mouth, and I don't see the need to get on a high horse about the subject. Remember, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make her drink. Of course, that's a horse of a different color.

Damn, lunchtime all ready. I'm so starved, I could eat a horse.

And remember guys, those blowers aren't blowing fresh air onto Dave & the guys. It's recycled air from the 12,000 coughing, sneezing, sniffling fans. I swear, if I spend much time at a casino I catch a cold after due to everyones germs floating around. That's why you always see people wearing the blue surgical masks. Having it concentrated & blown right in your face for 2 hours is bound to make you sick.

That, and since arenas are also used for sporting events there's always that lovely B.O. undertone floating around too..

That's why I never hang out in casinos in PA --- too much "old people smell" wafting through the air

Even worse, it's dumb old people trying to beat odds against them when they are on a fixed income usually. The only thing worse than a young dumbfuck is an old dumbfuck who should know better.

Want to go on record and say no blower rant in Montreal. I think the rants are legit. I've played in a place where the AC is on full blast and it really does dry you out.

Exactly ---- I seen too many of these old bags burn through their Social Security checks every week and then bitch about the cost of living.

America needs to abolish Medicare and Social Security and we'd solve the debt crisis in a few years.

If you spend all your savings at the casino or bingo hall ---- dont expect pity when you're starving or need to see a doctor.

That's what happens when you ban smoking...

[Jagermeister]

Boards been kinda dead lately. Wonder why?

[jhale667]

Meh. Cigarette smoke ranks right up there with B.O. in my book. Other more pleasantly fragrant smokables, however, should be encouraged.

[ZahZoo]

Start using your brain, dumbo ---- watch any of the old videos and Dave never halted a song halfway through to say "Stop squirtin' water at me or I'll fuck your girlfriend". He only did it between songs. Rest of the band would've got pissed if he consistently stopped songs to brag about fuckin' a dude's chick.

These blower rants are the REAL DEAL ---- why cant these venue dickholes follow simple directions?

You think stopping a song makes it any less schtick?? That's called variety...

If it's not a routine... I posted this in another review thread... modern arenas use automated climate control systems. You think all the gear, that huge fucking TV screen and the monster lighting rig don't put out some serious heat... they do. I'd imagine it's well over 140 degrees F between the lighting rig and ceiling. Odds are the building sensors are compensating for the heat bubble around the stage.

But that raises the question... can you blame the venue because VH plants a bon-fire at one end of the arena and then proceeds to set the stage on fire every nite? I think whoever designed the stage set-up needs to account for the heat issues that may be causing performance issues.

Wouldn't hurt to hose down Ed every third song too... that fucker is on fire!!

I miss the smell of cherry pipe tobacco the old timers used to smoke. We had a neighbor who had like the perfect immaculate house and lawn and he drove the coolest classic black Thunderbird convertible. It was always spotless and shined up. He always was smoking a pipe with cherry tobacco in it. It smelled so good you would just hang around to smell it.

The good old days. The mailman would give us kids candy and nobody locked their doors. It seems like a different fantasy world now.

To those who criticise the looks of Sarah Jessica Parker I say 'neigh' - if it would behoove you to have some common courtesy you should stop making such unbridled remarks. It's unfair to saddle her with this level of ugliness.

Someone needs to take the reigns and say "wooooah" this is going too far. Why do we need to trot out these same cracks every time her name comes up?

If she was coming to my town, I'd definitely pony up the cash to see her.

Ha ha! Exactly. Great post.

Don't know if it's real or shtick - I personally believe it's real, but I've been known to be gullible when Dave speaks, so I acknowledge that. Either way, "disa-fuckin-pear" made me laugh out loud, literally. I've been entertained once again by the Toastmaster, so I'm happy!

Dave Is The Real Deal When It Comes To Shit Like This.

[fryingdutchman]

That's not real...

Nobody finds it the least bit odd that it has happened on nearly every show just like the squirting water bullshit ??

Real or not, I'm wondering when it's going to start affecting the entire band and possibly causing dissension in the ranks. I'm sure that the other three may be getting tired of being interrupted in the middle of their groove.

Stopping Alex during the intro to HFT is like stopping a fucking freight train going at full speed.

[fryingdutchman]

Plus, every time there's a "rant", he brings up the cost of the tickets.

Perhaps Dave is aware of the exorbitant ticket prices and is trying to acknowledge/justify it...using blowers and spotlights as the platform?

[MUSICMANN]

How about stop bitching and moaning about stupid shit like this. If their coming your way, grab a ticket and fucking just rock out when they hit your town.
