Hello everybody, now I'm back in my own flat after a very peaceful xmas holiday and a pretty good start of 2006 celebrating in my hometown. Hope you all had a lovely holiday and a great first half week of 2006 as well.
to update myself a little since I was looking this page up the last time before the holiday, does anyone know if mmj has putting out new european dates yet? or are there still nothing new?
Happy New Year to you too :D
No news yet. The best place to check is the 'shows' link at the top of the page. But I'm sure as soon as anybody notices an announcement a new thread will start.
Okay, yeah. I think so too now. :P
Let's check the 'shows' page at regular intervals just to not miss anything.
Anyone has any guesses for when it could be?
I don't want to wait thousands of thousands of months you know.

Nobody
wants to wait thousands of months...
No doubt Jim & the boys are itching to get back out there - just let the dude get 100% better.

That seems to be a great idea, though I'm still very impatient but that we all are.
Yeah, but how long can this pneumonia(or however you write it)-thing last? I mean, can't be longer than 2 months can it, so I figure, in March I want to see them in Belgium.
Should be possible, no?
I wouldn't bet on it. Pneumonia's a lung condition and singing's a lung thing so it might take much longer for him to get tour fit. That's apart from all the planning and booking stuff that'll have to happen. It's not easy but try to be patient. It'll be worth the wait :D
Then let us hope maybe sometime during the summer?!
Summer?
That's like gillions liightyears away man;, THERE IS STILL SNOW HERE!

deal, dude.
They're comming to Werchter, in June. I hope that's not the only show in Belgium for this year. I was kinda looking forward to seeing them in a medium venue.
QuoteThey're comming to Werchter, in June.
As far as I know this hasn't been confirmed. What's your source?
Nevertheless, It would be a big bummer if the just played the festivals in Europe.
A combination of festivals an clubs would be great. But then again, we don't get to choose ;)
(sigh) Please don't speculate on unconfirmed, not-posted-here dates. Only this site has the official word on any future dates. I'm begging you as human beings.

im just curious about this? see, i found the european dates on the NME website at least a day before they were posted here. i sorta see what youre saying, but then again i dont. whats the harm in finding dates scattered about and posting them here?
Just found out where the Werchter rumour comes from:
Some guy in Belgium posted his dream festival-setup on a music blog (,http://blitzkriegnoise.blogspot.com/2006/01/werchter-2006-de-eerste-namen.html) and claimed it to be reliable
(It's actually not so difficult, he just took 40 bands who just had a record out).
A national newspaper (het laatste Nieuws) picked it up and published the list as 'final' without mentionning its so-called 'very reliable' source.
Somebody discovered that the paper used the blog as its source and now the paper has to apologize to its readers and the Werchter organisation.
Just to show where some rumours come from ;D
Actually, here in Belgium, we spend more time talking about cancelled MMJ shows, sick MMJ singers and rumoured MMJ gigs than actually seeing them ;D
We can have another 6 months now ;)

Because it leads to speculation about tours and whatnot that may or may not happen. Posting "hey, they are coming to City X on July 8th" sounds like it's official, when in fact it may not be at all. Why get people's hopes up when it's not official?? If it's posted here, it's happening. If not, it's just idle speculation.
I'm just sayin'. After a couple of years of wild speculation about dates and tours and the fallout here when MMJ didn't go to City X when the promoter's daughter's butler's cousin said they would, it gets old.
Historically, MMJ has always had a full line of shows in the US in June and often into July.
I highly doubt that MMJ will go to Europe in June, seeing as how the Bonnaroo Music Festival is Mid-June (16th-19th), and the band hasn't skipped out on the 'Roo since its conception.
Bonnaroo will announce its line-up on February 1st, so this may be confirmed relatively soon.
Maybe they'll hit Europe in October-November?

Not ;)

hey, dont speculate! ;D
you might fool bonnaroo stoners in to thinking this is already definite.
Yea, it's all speculation - I have no insider sources whatsoever, and that's the truth...
In fact, I'm just a Bonnaroo Stoner.
:P

Just like those two shows at the Palace that I "speculated" and by some miracle ended happening the way I said it would. Or the Newport Festival show that was announced on the Newport Folk Fest website months before it was "officially confirmed". It's not all speculation, some people actually have good information and they should be able to share it here. John just wants to act important by pretending to want to spare everyone's feelings. If I want to get my hopes up that's my decision or anyone else's, not John's. Speculation belongs on the forum. Official news belongs on the NEWS and SHOWS pages.
Yeah, but certain "speculations" have lead to some pretty DUMBASS shit before, and you know that.
I guess it's just really important to indicate that you're being speculative. Even if you have to use "this is speculation" in a moving banner in font size number 10. ;)

Or maybe they'll continue to book and cancel and book and cancel ad infinitum until the continent that gave them the break no longer cares...........................................
sorry was that speculating?
Quotesorry was that speculating?
I would say yes. Thrown in with some heavy sarcasm.

Well, well, well. I wondered how many days it would take you to start some shite about something I posted. How many did it take, oh mister mysterious one who can't be named? ;)
I asked nicely to keep speculation at a minimum. If you want to twist that into your own agenda, that's your own pathetic need to feel "important".
Now, you've played nice for a few months, shall we go back to the way it used to be? Hmmmm??

as a neutral party here, i believe your post came off as you asking to keep the speculation to completely zero.
the above statement is only
MY attempt at being important, though. :-*

Well, we could always settle this like men in person. But Lord knows that you're too chickenshit to say the first word to me in person. I found that out at the BBC before the Palace show. So if you want to keep throwing insults my way maybe would should handle this in a different manner.

So.....you are the other moderator?
I know for a fact that MMJ will be playing next Saturday at the Rudyard Kipling. Jim said it will only be $3 to get in.

do you know that threatening someone online is now a crime? watch your back, amd.
No one is threatening anyone. I was only making a suggestion. But from Conaway's silence I assume we're just going back to the way it used to be again. ::)
See ya'll at the Rud! ;)

Your juvenile attempt to get a rise is quite pathetic..

To my way of thinking, it hurt the band much more than you and "your continent" when they cancelled this last
European tour. You may have given them "the break" but it wasn't given to them in any or heuristic or benevolent fashion! By that I just mean that you weren't doing them any favors. Remember: cream always rises to the top! If they hadn't made a splash in Holland and Denmark in late '99 and early '00, do you think they'd have just packed up their guitar cases and that Jim and the boys would've been working at McDonald's now? They have *earned* every postive response, every accolade, and every fan and fanatic by themselves; they don't owe you and Europe or us and American anything. Dude, they have cancelled tours over here before. I've had tickets to shows on at least three tours that were either postponed and cancelled. They are truly sorry that they had to cancel, I'm sure of it. But whining about it doesn't help anyone. Life's a bitch, life isn't fair, but I guaran-damn-tee you that the sun's still going to come up tomorrow whether MMJ tours again or not. And if it doesn't, that lack of touring won't have had a damn thing to do with it!
Don't really mean any disrespect here, but you act like it was a personal affront to all of Europe when you write stuff like this. Nuff sed, long live MMJ.

i couldn't tell whether this was "speculation" or "sarcasm"...either way is this true? please god be true!!
It's not.
Sarcasm was the right word.
QuoteThey have *earned* every postive response, every accolade, and every fan and fanatic by themselves; they don't owe you and Europe or us and American anything.
Amen.
QuoteIt's not.
Sarcasm was the right word.
i thought so...but just wanted to make sure...would be devastated to miss a MMJ at the Rud for $3!!!
since this thread is title "Anyone know..." I'm wondering if anyone know's when a new mmj album will be released
It will definitely be out on 25 January 2007.
btw, I definitely think speculation should be allowed, and as long as it isn't on this site, it is automatically speculation, so I don't feel the need to still explicitly mention that.
