This was EASILY the worst TON gig I've ever seen. Maybe I've seen them too many times. Maybe they're catering to the (predominantly) trendy crowd. Maybe I remember what a great band they USED to be. Maybe I'm just getting tired of their shit. Nowadays, Pete can neither scream along with the old stuff, or even sing along with the newer shit unless he goes into his warbly folk-singer voice. As a matter of fact, it seems that now that he's done his Playgirl shtick, he thinks that all he has to do is just stand on stage with a light behind him. Well, I'm sorry, but that just isn't going to cut it. Pete should just learn to play, learn how to come up with a set list, and give me my money's worth. Even though this band had some great material (like the whole SD&H), I don't see myself giving them any more of my money; no more gigs, no more albums, no more NOTHING.
Time for me here to sneak in a comment about the Misfits. That was the lousiest-sounding, most crass display of pseudo-commercialism that I've ever had the pleasure to witness. They just looked and sounded sooooo pathetic up there, trying to recapture a vibe that passed them by many moons ago. Heck, when I first walked in and saw that they were ACTUALLY SELLING Misfist t-shirts, I almost threw up.
After all this, do you really want me to summarize my night? I wish I left at 10:00 even though they played until 11. BOR-fucking-RING.
Goodnight,
