    Sean, first My96FM hated us for your post on Akon, now we are going to get hated by Rock 105.3 for your comments on ZZ Top. 2 stations down, 2 to go, eh Sean?

    You’re just jealous that they are still performing at their age, just think when Bad Religion gets to be their age (they are pretty close), would you still watch them?

    Remember that time you alienated the whole class in Interactive Media? So there!

    Of course I would still watch Bad Religion, and already Taylor says they are old and should stop playing. I doubt they will push into their 60’s though.

    Taylor says:

    Yes, BR is old and should stop playing, but they shouldn’t stop playing because they are old! I just would like them to stop playing in general. But I think if the Rolling Stones are still going hard, I will be listening to Sean’s giddy BR stories for many years to come…

    Also, I think ZZ Top will be playing well into their 130s since their shows are pretty much the most low energy performances ever (hard to break a hip all you do is sway from side to side), besides like Il Divo or something. Good music, bad stage presence.

    Well that made my day, haha. I find the VIP packages pretty strange. Do most bands do these types of things now? I’ve heard about it quite a few times since living in Medicine Hat, but never before.

    I would find it amazing if Minus Shamos toured and people actually wanted to talk to us before or afterward. I would hate the idea of charging them for that after they bought a ticket to get in.

    Lots of bands also throw drum sticks/guitar picks/towels after their show, so why pay hundreds of dollars to get them given to you.

    Also, Taylor, NoFX says in one of their songs that they are referred to the Punk Rolling Stones. ;]

    May the supreme Gods of Rock look down upon your uncomplicated countenances with compassion and indulgence. For you speak of that which is above your station.

    You shall be forgiven because you are young.

    ZZtop still as awsome as they were back in the 80,s last time i saw them was in when i lived in the uk . went to see them on there afterburner tour . the guys can still rock from classic blues to hard rocking tunes from the 80`s

    very rarely do you see a bad support band and ZZtops support band was no exception . great beginning of the evening a band worth looking forward to hearing more in the future

    “ZZTOP” ROCKS

    The person who invented the’dinosaur rock tag’was just jealous.ZZtop have passion for the blues and guitars,two beautiful creations,I’d rather be older and play in a truly talented timetested band,than be an arrogant young know it all who’s done nothing……

    I don’t have anything against ZZ Top. They’re good and all, they’re just wickedly old to the point that they just kind of sway and shimmy and shake on stage instead of moving around more than they have to. Perhaps my favourite band, Bad Religion, will some day get there too.
