poor poor adam, he had know Idea what he was getting into, and here you guys are, beating a dead horse.  You killed him, your killed adam the horse! i hope you're all happy!

but with all do respect to adam the dead horse... really dude? like, really? how is this not the most amazing thing to happen to a terrific band that deserves it.  can the sell out bullshit, if a band get recognized for their talents, they should alway embrace it. they are doing what they love, if they make money off of it then good for them... oh and last time i checked, every seat in MSG for the MMJ show is the same price on ticketmaster... so kindly screw yourself

I'm sorry, but this thread really irks me.

Your avatar is irking me.  ;)
Points for the extra long posts though, I bet you made Tom jealous with those.

[Zzzzzzzz]

To me, MSG represents a holy musical place.

[tomEisenbraun]

Dude, I bow to your prowess at the long post. I've never ever had to separate mine into parts.

Holy shit.

great post about MSG...but I probably would've edited it a little, including this one.

* Former boy-band NSYNC sold out two concerts at the Garden in May 2000 for their No Strings Attached Tour, which was later released on DVD, titled simply "NSYNC Live From Madison Square Garden"

It's a mecca. And I'm going on a pilgrimage.

[Honest Man]

What a cum fiend. That venue is fantastic.

Adam must be the same guy that called Dylan "Judas" when he went electric during the '69 tour.Saying MMJ sold out to play at MSG is like saying Michelangelo sold out when he painted the ceiling of the Sistine chapel.Hopefully MMJ won't cancel when they get word that Adam's not coming.

[Penny Lane]

my name is adam-

[AMightyCaporal]

my name is adam-

:'(  :'(  :'(

my life is SOOOOOOOO hard right now, even though nothing has happened, my family is healthy and alive, my parents buy my skinny jeans for me and my uber hip iphone and other mac products. but still, they dont get me, no one gets me, your all sell outs!
:'( :'( :'(

These funny pictures and indictments of Adams personal style are all well and good, but back to the topic at hand: what should we make of this wanton ambition? Its like the band has become social climbers, but in a professional sense. Im not sure why but its like they're trying to build a career. I dont know about you guys but it makes me sick...  

[ycartrob]

they're playing a gig in New York City, New Year's Eve; no more, no less.

Rock on!

...not to be a dick, but I am a stickler for Dylan....he went electric in 1966 in England, he didnt tour from 67-74....

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Why are they playing MSG?

Because they can.

                                     

[EvilGirl]

Is the MSG a seated only venue or do you have the option for seating or standing tickets?

[harpua51]

.....have you ever heard the Phish NYE 1995 recording....yeah that place sucks for acoustics.....and I have been to two shows at MSG this year (Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood/R.E.M.) and I knew what band was playing and it didnt echo at all.....whatever, I dont want someone with a bad attitude at this concert anyway, everyone is going to be rocking and having a great fucking time without you dude....I cant wait......

PHISH sucked no matter WHERE THEY PLAYED!

Dont hate on PHISH!!!!   Many people on this board will agree they never sucked!  They just didnt play as well when a certain guitar player developed a really bad needle drug habit! >:(
