Thu Feb 17 and Fri Feb 18th

Tickets on sale now on ticketmaster

I saw modest mouse the other night in Nashville but it was at the Vanderbilt Gym, so I'm looking forward to this show.  Modest Mouse was great but Vanderbilt Gym sucks.

Don't complain, EC. Neko probably won't come anywhere near my town, so you're better off where you are.  :)

But dude, you can drive to Nashville WHENEVER YOU WANT!

Do you know how many country stars come to Toronto?  Very few.  

Ah crap, you're right, I shouldn't complain.  I know that it's pretty cool here, and I like it okay.  It's just, every once in a while somebody does a tour and doesn't come...

...and then I know how you feel all the time.  :)

Can you guys come up with a good estimate on how many people that the Exit/In can hold?
I'm terrible at estimating that sort of thing? I've been there a couple of times, but I just can't pick a number that I think sounds right...

The reason I ask is because there is a new venue here in town that has only been open for a year or so. They have mostly had non-rock acts, but are looking to book some rock shows sometime this year. I'm trying to come up with some bands that would fill up a room for 300 people. I know that's not a lot of people for a rock show, so the band couldn't be super-huge but they would need a decent following...
Title: Re: kings of leon live @exit/in Nashville
Post by: sweatboard on Jan 26, 2005, 09:12 PM
I would think somewhere between 300 and 500.  
Title: Re: kings of leon live @exit/in Nashville
Post by: EC on Jan 27, 2005, 12:36 AM
Really?  That much?  I would've thought it was closer to 200.

But I'm used to seats...

Yeah, They can pack em in pretty tight.

No wonder you're feeling it. He's looking directly at you. What a great place to get.
Title: Re: kings of leon live @exit/in Nashville
Post by: sweatboard on Jan 27, 2005, 04:49 PM
Yeah I swear that has to be right after the big solo in One Big Holliday.  I think he's doing the intro part that he does again in the end (that's what the fingering position on the fretboard would indicate).  Yes I am a Dork!!!  But Jim was swinging his hair during that solo and it was hitting me in the face and it was the most fucking awesome thing I've ever experienced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: kings of leon live @exit/in Nashville
Post by: EC on Jan 27, 2005, 08:04 PM
I don't know - the fingering is higher - closer to the body of the guitar - unless he tuned the guitar differently for that bit...

Yeah, I would have been standing about four feet to the left of whoever took the picture.  And, honey, you grooving out is a mirror image of what I was doing.  I was too scared to stand too close.  Don't know why...

I THINK I can see my horns in that first picture - it's kind of the smaller hand in the bottom rightish side...

heh.  It could be anybody's hand.  It's just probably where I was grooving out.

Fuck.  That was such an amazing show.  I still get all chilly when I think about it.

Megan, check it, because he's on the eighth fret, right where you hit the intro to O.B.H.  I hate to correct you because you sing like an angel(even this girl I know that sings really well agrees), but one guitar seems to be playing there, granted there is probably another guitar playing in unison higher.  Regardless, we both experienced one amazing evening!!!!!!!  Hopefully next time we will meet.

Yes, Riny...  Good work!  You could probably really score big at those shows, hey?  "Yeah, I'm, uh, the official band photographer.  I make their website.  Yeah...  Wanna make out?"

heh

Man, in EVERY crowd shot, I can totally see where I should be, but I can't see me.  I'm actually amazed that I haven't even seen a glimpse of my hair, which is pretty big anyhow, but even more so because of all of the whipping around it was doing that night.

I totally remember that guy who has his arms on the stage - with the dark hair and the beard.  He was really into it.  And, Brian is that you in the hat, or is that our friend ASS, hc?  I still want to see a picture of that kid who would've been around there who was just totally diggin' it.  I mean, every kid was, but this kid.  He could jump higher than all hell.  It was cute.  He asked me to dance.   ::)

I like looking at that other girl beside the girl who's lost it for Riny.  She's looking at Jim, like "Yep.  He's the man.  I love him.  I just do."

Oh my fucking lord.  I am the girl with the white shirt, with her hands in "praying" position, feeling the love of the moment.

See how Jim is looking right at me. ;)

(ah ha ha)

I think that's me.  It's hard to tell.  I WAS doing a lot of clapping.  And thanking of the lord.  And general spinning around and goofiness.  I was really happy.

ha HA.

Okay.  Now that I've found my position, I THINK you can see me in the picture above it.  I've got my hands on my head.

Heh.  I'm sure you're right.  It's probably just that when I practised it at home (very difficult to play that bit, I find - especially on an acoustic guitar, heh).  I always play it further up - but come to think of it, I don't think I played it with the song.  It's pretty fun to figure out where they were in a show by checkin' guitar positions!

Saw the Kings of Leon this week in Portland, OR and they flat out sucked.  Last time I saw them they were great.  IT was a let down.

Remember that guy that kept screaming "Rock and Roll is ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was hilarious.

P.S.
That was probably the guy that asked you to dance Megan.  He was no holds bared.  He looked like he could jump like a motherfucker to.
