[The_Worlds_finest]

Austin Dallas and Houston in the mix.

[robino2001]

Thought the ticket sales are interesting (at least for Austin). Limit of 4 (not a huge deal), but floor seats and sections closest to the stage are "hours before the show will call pickup only"... purchaser must pick up tickets will all members in group right there with them, wristbands go on immediately and then you're escorted into the arena to avoid scalpers/brokers/reselling. I've heard of it before but never seen it put into place/gone through it before. I assume they're doing it at all of their stops (too lazy to look).

BANDS THAT SUCK BALLS-RADIOHEAD




If we lived in a perfect world, music would all sound pretty much the same. People would have realized that Rock and Roll peaked in the 70s and 80s and just follow that model for coming up with a kickass sound for their band. Don't mess with a proven formula, just get together and form either a metal, blues or jukebox rock band. Unfortunately just like everything else in life, people are constantly demanding innovation when it comes to music. A fresh, creative new sound that they've never heard before. In principle, innovation is a good thing. I mean who doesn't want to be blown away by hearing something badass that their ears have never experienced before? However, when innovation just means you throw out some weird combination of shitbag noise and call it rock for the sake of being creative, it's definitely a negative. Being "intelligent" and "innovative" is just code for "This music blows" and is most likely the product of this week's Band That Sucks Balls: RADIOHEAD.

I don't care what you and all your intellectual buddies say, Radiohead fucking sucks giant donkey dick. Radiohead is one of those bands that everybody feels like they are supposed to like. If you tell somebody your favorite band is The Beatles or The Rolling Stones, you aren't gonna impress anybody. Oh yeah of course you like The Rolling Stones. I'm sure you own the "40 Licks" greatest hits album and jam out to "Brown Sugar" in your car, and once a year you go to a rock concert wearing your lips logo Stones t-shirt. How original. You are clearly a conformist. Meanwhile, if you tell somebody your favorite band is Radiohead? Holy shit. You are clearly on a higher wavelength than 90% of society. Your conversation with the liberal arts major honey at the party will immediately take off. "OMG I looooove Radiohead! Thom Yorke = genius. Personally I think OK Computer was actually their worst album." Liking Radiohead instantly tabs you as somebody that looks for something deeper and more artsy, when compiling your Itunes music library. It also means you are most likely a douchebag.

Who decided that Radiohead is a great rock band? I'll tell you who. Music critics. Self righteous intellectual hipsters. Hollywood celebs that wanna seem cool and in the know. Get an art history major, Drew Barrymore and the staff of "Spin Magazine" into a room and I bet they could each give you a 3,000 word essay on why Radiohead is amazing. I on the other hand couldn't provide you three words regarding their status as rock deities. Can you point to a Radiohead song that is "good?" Or "enjoyable to listen to?" Well there's "Kaaaarma Poooolice." Jesus Christ. Talk about taking the express train to SuicideTown, USA. Compared to this, Nine Inch Nails might as well be Motown. "Fake Plastic Trees?" Total garbage. "Creep" is pretty much the closest thing to a tolerable Radiohead song because it involves a little hard thrashing guiter and is fun to play on "Rock Band." The hook on "Creep" goes "I'm a creep, I'm a weeeirdo, what the hell am I doing here?..I don't belong." These lyrics are pretty much the most accurate description of Radiohead's place in rock and roll ever written.

Every Radiohead song sounds exactly the same. An acoustic guitar strumming. Maybe a couple slow brooding piano keys. A repetitive drum beat. Within a minute you feel like you're at a candlelight vigil or rape victim rally. Then the singing comes in courtesy of Weirdball McGee, Thom Yorke. Thom Yorke is a total dickhead. Like most frontman of Bands that Suck Balls, he doesn't have a good voice so he doesn't "sing" in the conventional sense. He just..hums...for four minutes. Then occasionally he'll cry out in a high pitch. The crying out is increased during the inevitable climax of any Radiohead song. This is the one minute ending where the band briefly turns up the volume of their depressing jam with some electric guitar or at least some louder piano.

During a Radiohead live performance or music video, the climax is the part where Thom gets to put all the attention on himself by posing in some weird pseudo-crucifixtion stance or dancing around in a circle like a tripping hippie on acid. What a weirdo. First of all, who the fuck spells their name "Thom"..? A fucking douche that's who. Second of all, I don't think anyone could look LESS like a rock frontman. "Right look at me chaps, I'm a ginger that didn't bother to comb my hair this morning. I don't have cool rock facial hair, I just have a three day 5 o'clock shadow." Hey memo to NBC and Chris Hanson: I think there's a predator out there you haven't caught and he is the frontman for Radiohead. Third, I hate your fucking brooding facial expression. Like you're making the effort to say "Ughhh look at me I'm such a deep introspective genius. I'm always sad and brooding." If you are a rock band/singer posing for a picture you can either look arrogant and godly (Zeppelin/Stones), angry (Metallica), badass (GNR), or goofy (Van Halen). AKA nothing like Thom Yorke. Aww you're such a sad tortured genius . Here's a gun fucking do me a favor and shoot yourself already.

Anyways since people are constantly starving for creativity and innovation, Radiohead will probably continue to be succesful as long as they churn out their weirdo funeral procession jams. Thom York will continued to be revered as an artistic rock "genius." Just count me out of this group. It's total bullshit that your ability to make weird noise and write the soundtrack to me hanging myself makes you a "genius." Apparently you can't be happy and be considered a musical innovator. Fuck off Radiohead, go be sad and brooding somewhere else. You are definitely a pack of creeps and weirdos that don't belong on my rock radio.

If you actually wrote that, Kudos. That is almost exactly how i feel.

I really liked Radiohead up to about OK Computer, then they sorta jumped the shark for me. I won't say i hate them, i just think they try to hard to be artsy fartsy... The fact that so many hipster douches worship at the alter of Radiohead just really turns me off to them too.

shame really.

Why do you guys even take your time to try to bash Radiohead?

Are you going to keep posting this unfunny shit? Shouldn't you be jerking off to videos of police brutality while listening to Hall & Oates?

As I said in the original post regarding Bands that suck balls-Radiohead....

I did not write it and came across it on a site called;

Hey Kids-Get off my lawn!

No affiliation with that site..but there is some funny shit---funny rants about a bunch of bands that suck balls....and he nailed how I felt about a lot of them...

[silverblk mystix]

think I will post some other articles about RAPPERS that suck balls....

I'm more annoyed with the fact that you keep posting it than with fact that somebody doesn't like a band that I like.

lolno

"all their songs sound the same!"

One doesn't even have to like Radiohead to acknowledge that this isn't true.

"all their songs are depressing!"

Generic statement that doesn't even address the quality of their music.

And again, you like Hall & Oates. What more needs to be said?

LOL...

The Hall & Oates song that I posted was not actually Hall & Oates...it was Daryl Hall and some new singer named Mayer Hawthorne that is just breaking out...

Having said that...in their day...Hall & Oates absolutely had a million times more talent than a shitty no talent band like radiohead....

but what the fuck would you know about music since you portend to be some wanna be thug rapper shithead...

[redzero]

Hall and Oates had talent?

Anyway, I didn't read the column posted, nor do I care. I'd love to get my hands on Radiohead tickets. Having said that, to spend so much time writing something bashing a band you don't like is downright insane. I have tons of bands that everyone likes that I think sucks (Skrillex immediately comes to mind), but I don't actually write about why I think they (or he in my example) sucks. I just ignore the shit.

I don't think "everyone likes" Skrillex. I openly talk shit to anyone who likes any form of Dubstep. No straight man should listen to Dubstep.

[redzero]

Even dubstep fans don't like Skrillex. Only 13-year-old girl who think they are being "OMG SO DEEP" because they listen to crap with WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB in it like Skrillex.

My ex-wife loves Skrillex. I watched him at ACL for a few and reported back that he indeed sucks very much, yet the crowd for him was huge. I saw some other electronica bands there that, while not my thing, were much better, yet I hear a lot about him. I don't get it.

[Nathan Explosion]

edit to remove fucking auto play video.

Yeah, that song sucks too.

So... when the fuck do the presale go on sale... says tomorrow, but no time...

I've been wondering that too ... Chances of getting tickets then is going to be pretty slim...

it took 20 minutes for Arcade Fire tickets to sell out for the Bee Cave, somehow managed to get 3 from someone else..


Something tells me this is going to be harder :lol

[IronMexican]

Just prepare to pay at least triple to buy them from craigslist, or some other website.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Going to the Dallas show, no question.

[Sense]

Just prepare to pay at least triple to buy them from craigslist, or some other website.

I paid 90 for the Arcade Fire ones... they were 55 I believe.. not bad, but considering I was sitting next to my laptop the whole morning until they were on sale... and the site starts failing because the server can't take the traffic.. and once I'm about to buy the tickets online it just keeps glitching and it takes me back to que.. this happened about 4 times before it said sold out..


Now that pissed me off :lol I hope Radiohead doesn't have this problem

[The_Worlds_finest]

what i gathered is that the tickets will go on sale sometime this morning without notice.

[The_Worlds_finest]

got mine! 6:03am

[silverblk mystix]

wait...

people....actually.... PAY MONEY$$$$....



to go see this band?


:lmao

[The_Worlds_finest]

not only pay money but stay up all night refreshing a webpage!!!

[silverblk mystix]

not only pay money but stay up all night refreshing a webpage!!!

WOW!




Props....


Every band should have fans like youse' guyz....

[IronMexican]

Wondering when tickets near me will even be announced. Hope they don't plan on doing Europe after this slate and then coming back to the US.

Would mean it was near Summer, though.

[silverbora]

i was able to get floor seats to houston.. keep trying for austin

[IronMexican]

How much you guys pay, silver and worlds finest?

[The_Worlds_finest]

i bought 4 floor at 69 each with 27.60 handling charge. Assholes are already asking 650 on ebay.

[IronMexican]

Just saw DAS and From the Basement is going to be sold on Blu Ray.

Coppin dat shit.

[silverbora]

how are they going to sell on ebay? pick up will call and sell there at the door?

[scott]

Guess I just won't go to this stupid show.

[mFFL03]

the rest of the tickets go on sale Saturday, this was just a presale for 100-500 tickets, they are playing indoor basketball arenas, so you should be able to get tix to dallas or houston

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Got 1 for Austin this morning, fucking opened up radiohead.com right around 7:10. Lucky.

[Sense]

unfortunately I had to sleep for an interview -_- heard that people were complaining that there wasn't a set time..

Which is kind of true, would've loved floor tickets at any of those arenas.

[mFFL03]

There's no set time to throw off a rush of scalpers. I'd rather sacrifice a couple of hours of sleep than $300+ bucks to get floor seats. Next time, sleep in shifts with your friends. It worked out for my group since we all start our jobs at different times of the day.

[IronMexican]

Shit. Radiohead tickets on sale the 19th of January for SB show. Not going to sleep that night. Will miss work if I have to.

[Nathan Explosion]

It looks like Stub Hub has tickets to the Austin show. Be prepared to pay at least $155 for tickets where you can see the front of the stage though.

[Proxy]

I love Radiohead just as much or more than you guys, but dishing out that much money for one concert is ridiculous. Might as well see them and a shit load of other amazing bands at Coachella.

... and then if this tour is for King of Limbs, then why pay anything? The album sucked. If we're talking OK Computer or Kid A/Amnesiac, then it's a different story.

[IronMexican]

Implying they wont play a shitload from The Bends all the way up to In Rainbows.

[IronMexican]

You never know. Might even get to hear Blow Out. They gave it to South America back in 2008.

[Proxy]

In Rainbows... was okay. Bends too... but what I would do to hear Pyramid Song, Lucky, and Hunting Bears live... but not for 600 dollars.

[The_Worlds_finest]

shit i dont care what they play, shit i got 4 ga tickets for a total of 280.

[Nathan Explosion]

Last year I got 3 days of Austin City Limits for $180. I absolutely love Radiohead, but I can't dish out that much money for them.

[The_Worlds_finest]

good showing. Fucking turd hipsters in Austin piss me off.

[silverbora]

great show! but not as good as saturday's houston performance

[resistanze]

Got my tix today for Toronto.

Radiohead Show Picketed by Westboro Baptist Church

Anti-gay group protests at rockers' Kansas City concert




Radiohead (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/radiohead) received an ugly reception this weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, when the anti-gay group Westboro Baptist Church protested their show.
As Radiohead At Ease (http://www.ateaseweb.com/2012/03/11/radiohead-live-in-kansas-city-live-report/) reports, the hate group picketed outside the group's concert with vitriolic signs, slamming the British rockers with homophobic slurs and insisting that God was "their enemy." For their part, Radiohead continued their gig unaffected and their longtime producer, Nigel Godrich, later joked on Twitter (https://twitter.com/#%21/nigelgod/status/179107429634686976)that the protest was the "highlight of the tour so far."
This weekend, Westboro also posted on their site:
Meanwhile, God is undoing this nation and effecting [sic] all of your lives, with the moth that quietly eats the very fabric of your national garment. Radiohead is just such an event. Freak monkey's [sic] with mediocre tunes keeps you busy and focused by lightness. It changes nothing, God is undoing and digging up and throwing down this nation.
To be fair, doesn't "freak monkeys with mediocre tunes" sounds a bit like a OK Computer-era Radiohead lyric? Godrich, for one, seemed inspired by the concept (https://twitter.com/#%21/nigelgod/status/179107855394287617).
