Title: If you could see MMJ anywhere it would be...
Post by: primushead on Feb 12, 2005, 10:20 AM
Croke Park, Ireland!  I'd like to see what MMJ could do in a stadium.  Anyone else?

The Ryman... :'(






It's a launching pad for a voice, by god.  I've never even really been there but I've built up this show in my head so much that I actually feel like I saw them there.

Is that the place it was rumoured they were playing? When you got the tickets?

exactly.  :-[


Post #493, here I come 5 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think all the 5 stars should recieve t-shirts with thier 5 stars on the back and a picture of thier user Icon on the front, we could wear them to shows and be the coolest people there!! ;D Oh yeah, we could have one of our little signatures right underneath the big picture on the front, or under the 5 stars.  Then we could meet up and practice our dodgeball skills and get on that dodgeball show thats on late at night as Team "Jacket Junkies", we'd all wear long brown wigs and our 5 star shirts, no shoes, and carry flying V's.  ROK!!!

Oh Brian, that's the best idea I've heard in a long time! Is it 500 for 5 stars? (Mind you, we'd be the coolest people wherever we went ;))

I'll move this conversation to a different thread, since this is a really great topic Primus started, check dodgeball team in off topic for more info.

My back deck, dead of summer, dusk, with the crickets in great form. If they take me up on it, you're all invited. We'll soak our shirts with sweat and beer, and sing into the starlit night. Wow, great thread.

I think (and as the potential host, my opinion matters  ;) ) that we could have a few songs from everyone that wants to play, and then gather together on stage and do one awesome song as a group, as they did in The Last Waltz. I Shall Be Released, anyone?

Yes, Boar, I agree.  We should all sing together.  And hey, what's that song from the movie Nashville - the one that he sings, and it goes on forever...  something about not worrying... what the hell is it?  

Oh shit.  Oh my god.  We could all sing Cobra.

sticky sticky chocolate - i want you to know (ohhh!)
how do you live without a lovers's touch? (ohhhh!)
how do you live when figggledmysuch (ohhh!)...

we should definitely sing as a group. and we should definitely sing i shall be released. i'm going to take it a step further and suggest we also film all this for a documentary, bootleg, pass it around, let it become legend.

p.s. i'm serious about s'mores.

Is it "It Don't Worry Me"?

[size=24]YES[/size]


Quotep.s. i'm serious about s'mores.

Maybe it's the flu, or maybe it's the wine, but in the "covered in chocolate, head to toe" part of Cobra, we could break out some huge marshmallows, and giant grahams, and make HUMAN s'mores! Huh? Huh? Anyone?  ;D

Cobra could be a nightmare considering none of us know the lyrics.  How about Phone Went West. I could jam the hell out of the ending.

YES!  Thank fuck.  I was going crazy.

That's the easiest song in the world to sing.

I think Cobra might be the hardest.

True, Phone Went West would be amazing. I think though, now that we are beginning to have an idea of the lyrics to Cobra (see other thread), it would be totally awesome to take on the most difficult, most obscure, and most mystifyingly awesome of the boys' songs and give it a shot. Especially in the heat of summer, at dusk.... *H.J. Simpson gurgle*

What's the white house?

Oh shit.  right.  Really, though?  Why?  So they could go in and rip the place to shreds and knock some sense into GWB via their magical music?  

Good plan!

Or we could save up really hard and go to The Boar's back deck for our holidays. It would be cool outdoors, as long as it's warm  :D

I wish they would play at the Palace Theater (4th St. in Louisville). Its a magical place to see a show and if they had a bar, that would be even better. Heinekens and MMJ, what a great night!

They hardly ever play their hometown, I remember when they played the BRYCC House when it was on Bardstown Road, and then Jim Played at a party of my friends house on highland ave, to bad I messed up the recording on that. AHH those were the days

If I could see MMJ anywhere it would have to be at the pool hall down the road, CornerPocket.  They've always reminded me of the bands that come in and play sometimes.
