The rape accusation is making me lean St V now, though. Didn't know about that.
yeah i think it came out sometime after he 'went broke' and the hot in here streaming thing happened, but before the me too stuff really took off. I'm not sure if anything came from the accusation, but I definitely haven't heard much about it since it happened.
I honestly didn’t know we were still taking Nelly seriously after he collaborated with Florida-Georgia Line lol. Like is everyone whose excited to see him purely excited on an ironic basis? Or is this for real? I mean, obviously he has some classics, but I don’t see the appeal of seeing him in a live setting, particularly over St. Vincent.
Why did anyone ever take him seriously? Does anyone think he's a great rapper? or even a good one?
Nelly could get a club jumping in his peak. I’d be more interested in catching him than Ice Cube and LL, who have been popping up on lineups lately as the throwback Hip Hop act.

Yea, I know he had hits. I just never thought he was any good.

I loved Country Grammar. I never kept up with him after the follow up. I liked the follow up too.

At ACL last year, Ice Cube was fucking superior to anything Nelly has ever done.
Any suggestions from Saturday (week 1) up until Durand Jones?
Similarly for Sunday, anyone to check before Shame?
Nothing that’s worth getting there that early. 12:15 even is an early start for Sunday, specifically. I’m usually pretty beat by then. That said, if you’re planning on getting there early regardless, Widlerado is pretty decent on Sunday.

Thanks for the suggestion, will check it.
I feel like I'll be beat by Sunday too, especially since I'll try to do some after shows.
I can't speak for everyone else, but for me I just think GVF is really fucking lame. There's nothing "rock n roll" about them at all. It just feels like an imitation...a really good imitation but nothing more. I feel like people who really like them are just way too easily impressed. It feels wrong and judgemental for me to think that, but I can't help that's how I feel. It's kind of ridiculous to me how much hype they get.
I watched an interview with the guitar player a few weeks ago. Basically their (the 3 of them who are brothers) parents were rockers and liked folk, and they listened to a lot of shit around the house that turned out to be completely different from once they started listening to shit with friends as they got older. So they're coming at their sound from parents of that era and what they grew up on and also from a somewhat smallish town which was isolated from bigger city influences. I know people in their mid-30's who love the fuck out of them just like I know some early 20's people who do too. I'm in the middle. I like them, but I have to take it with a little bit of a grain of salt because I'm a giant early Zeppelin fan. As we have discussed before, I kind of feel about Brockhampton the way you do about Greta Van Fleet. That would be my best analogy though I'd add that I don't actually think they're really fucking lame - just they haven't earned their hype yet either.
I just don't feel any energy or spirit in what they are doing. They'd be better off as a Led Zeppelin cover band. That would actually be cool, a bunch of young guys who can pull off Led Zeppelin pretty flawlessly. But rock music needs innovation not imitation right now. I think bands like Pearl Jam were inspired by a lot of classic rock but they were still able to do their own thing. Brockhampton is at least pushing hip-hop forward in a much needed direction. Their influences are pretty obvious but they can throw them together in a pretty unique way. Even if you think their music is overrated they're at least having a significant cultural impact. Greta Van Fleet is like the Post Malone of rock music.
I definitely don’t agree with the last part though I understand where you’re coming from. Im sure I’ll be fine with the set though I am withholding judgment overall until they put a couple more albums out. If it’s one note shit, it’s one thing. If they progress and take shit forward, that would be a good sign for me.

Oh yeah they still have a lot of time to grow and innovate. I hope they do. I'll respect them more if that happens

They would be way better off being a cover band. Rather than playing across the country and making a ton of money, they should just stay in Frankenmuth and play covers. That way, they’d be better off.

Poor choice of words on my part. Obviously what they are doing now is really working for them

I’m just messing with you. I understand people not liking them. I dug their live show though. Wouldn’t catch me driving around playing them probably, but they are a fun throwback.

At ACL last year, Ice Cube was fucking superior to anything Nelly has ever done.
At Meadows last year, LL was fucking superior to anything Nelly has ever done.

I consider them both to be far more talented than Nelly and I’ve listened to Cube and LL a lot more. I just feel I’d have more fun at a Nelly fest set.

I hear you. I don’t agree but I wasn’t bagging you for what you might want to see. I missed ACL Sunday last year, but I felt like Ice Cube was the best set I saw Friday or Saturday. Jay-Z was close and had better visuals and all, but Cube looked like he hadn’t missed a beat since I saw him in 1992. I’m sure Nelly will be fun even if I don’t think he’s all that great. My Saturday evening plan is Deftones into St. Vincent into Metallica. But Chvrches (who I think are really coming into their own on this tour) into Nelly (or San Holo) into Justice would have been pretty nice too.

I planned on going to Ice Cube last year, but got in late. I walked right as he was finishing up and the crowd was massive. He was in the middle of It Was A Good Day. I enjoyed it as I walked over to get a good spot for Spoon then ACL pulled the plug early on Cut Copy the next stage over as skydivers descended into the park to the sounds of Tom Petty's Free Fallin'.
I've finally got a chance to sit down a look at the schedule proper. I'm about see what my weekend will look like.
