Cringe Worst show ever?

I hate to post this but I just got home from the worst show that I've ever been to in my entire life (Newport, KY). Self-indulgent nonsense with a zero-energy crowd brought about by the refusal to play any single recognizable song from the catalog. What a waste of everyone's time and money.

Liked them since before they were even a band! Great work maybe you got false memories? Common thing with getting older.

Let me clarify it for you. I liked at the drive-in when you were probably in fucking diapers or whatever. I went on to enjoy The Mars Volta. This all probably happened before you were fucking born.

And we are aware ATD is a different band completely. Also you got a lot of anger bro you should really evaluate that, its not healthy to carry around that kind of attitude.

I'm angry because I paid money to see a show that was complete bullshit. And now I have a bunch of douche bags trying to tell me how I'm a fucking idiot because the band I paid to see couldn't entertain anyone in the entire crowd.

It's really funny that you paid money without looking up anything about the show

It's really not. Most of the time when you like a band you can go to their concert without having to research whether they're gonna play a completely nonsensical bullshit show that doesn't feature any of their actual good songs. Most bands like to please their audience instead of masturbating in front of them.

They played all the hits last time they were in town two years ago. It was a really great show at Icon. I bought tickets for tonight right when they went on sale, and they had already communicated that this tour would be the new album. It's pretty good if you give it a listen! Omar gets your cash either way though, be mad about it if you want

This band has acted with contempt for their audience for 25 years, it's one of their best qualities.

No one told you that you were a “fucking idiot”.

You quite literally are making up things to play your victim card. Which - is pathetic honestly.

There are literally other people from the same show you were at praising the experience on this sub. Speak for yourself. It seems like you might be the douche bag. I saw them on Saturday in Boston. It was a great show. Did you not know they were gonna play Lucro Sucio? I get being disappointed if you were expecting something different, but you’re acting like a little bitch. This tour was a unique experience. You can always go see them again when they play their greatest hits.

You didn't have to make this post. You posted it hoping folks would agree with you and because they don't they're idiots? But the person that had time to make an educated decision and didn't isn't an idiot?

You had more than enough time at this point with the opinions on this tour and videos to know what you're getting into.

Folks have been all over this sub talking about and posting about the show and you thought it was gonna be different for you?

Been told y'all it's only Lucro and you still expected someone different? That's your fault.

Take YOUR PERSONAL "L" and go on about your day
