It is totally cool to jump on a music bandwagon. It's not cool to jump on a sports bandwagon because all the teams that attract said bandwagon fans automatically attract douchebags (looking at all of you, sudden Pats fans).

It's okay to jump on bandwagons. What's douchy is to pretend you were a fan all along.

Very good point.

Dare I say, a better point? Maybe not, but just as good. Although, I knew somebody who would change allegiances in the middle of a game. He was totally upfront about it, so it didn't bug me. He said that he hated to root for the losing team. It's not how I feel about sports but at least he was honest. Red Sox fans post '04 are the worst. Actually, I don't like Red Sox fans much at all. Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are Sox fans. But they've always been insufferable.

Anyway, back to the Beastie Boys. I listened to Check Your Head and Pauls' Boutique last night and damn those are good albums. So good. I wish I would have gone to see them more often. I'm sure they'll still perform but it won't be quite the same. I saw them at Sasquatch in 2007. They did a set earlier in the day where they were playing instruments. It wasn't entirely instrumental because I remember them playing Gratitude, but I remember it being mostly instrumental. Anyway, that was awesome. They headlined that night too, but I was cold and coming down off a few different drugs so I only lasted for like half the show. That was the year I determined that getting drunk and high nearly always ruins concerts for me.

I went ahead and never saw them. Of course, I was never anywhere they were playing.

Maybe we should have a thread about the bands we've seen that make the most people jealous because it's too late to see them now.

I kind of imagine that one day I will tell someone I saw all the Nashville garage bands I am into, and they will be impressed. When I saw a bunch of these guys in Brooklyn 2008 I was the only person there who wasn't a Nashville local or a person in a cool NYC band. Like, literally, people were coming up to me and asking who I was because I was the only person there they didn't recognize. That felt like maybe the coolest I will ever be.
I also saw MGMT a few years before that song got big, and told my friends "this song is going to be big." They made fun of me.

I thought we already had that thread every time Ash needles me about all the times he saw Oingo Boingo.

Segovia and Miles Davis are the ones who immediately jump to mind.

Glad I got to see Zappa before he died, also The Band just before Richard Manuel went.

I saw Nirvana at JC Dobbs in Philly. They played 45 minutes, no encore. It was a bit underwhelming, actually.

I saw Smashing Pumpkins when they were still good. Twice, in fact. That was some good shit.

this reminds me, I should go see Chuck Berry.

A friend from the radio station grew up in Augusta, GA, home of James Brown. He said he always figured he should go see him some time, but always put it off.

I saw P-Funk at WILD. All the other performers I saw sucked.

Do you guys remember that I got peed on when I saw p-funk? Man, that was a time. Remember when I was so bad at getting laid? Now my excuse is "she's in Chicago" instead of "sorry I think some guy peed on me."

Man, I could have gone to see P-Funk for free last week, but I couldn't get anybody to go with me and I wimped out because I was "tired".  Stupid me.

I take issue with Ash including G n R and No Doubt - they have to make other people jealous, not embarrassed for you.

Zingo!

My only one is probably Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pretty much everybody else good I've seen you can still see. Well, Poison Idea while Pig Champion was still alive, but he was plowed and couldn't play and threw up on himself so I'm not sure it should be included.

I saw Seau play a few times. I'll count that.
