Update to last night's concert review

So, here's my favorite of the Billy Talent songs from last night: Try Honesty

Again, they're pretty much made of awesome as it is, but DAMN you should see them live. Talk about reaping the whirlwind - holy hell.

And about Drive By - I know Mikey (Fuckin) Way loves them and put up a bulletin pimping them, and I'll listen with an open ear again tonight, but they honestly failed to move me. There just didn't seem to be any love of the music and the performing, which... why are you up there, then? I understand that the opening slot is a hard one, I get that, but we do want to like you. Help us like you.


Okay. Now to some work, and then to see Drive By, Billy Talent, and MCR all over again. This time, not from the pit. I'm sore enough as it is.

Other good Billy Talent songs are 'Fallen Leaves', 'Nothing to Lose', and 'Pins and Needles.' But my favorite has to be the first of the three. I'm really bummed that they're leaving the tour before it gets out to Philly and NYC - something I only *just* learned.

Cool, thanks. And that's too bad about them leaving before you get to see them - they are truly rockin' live. Like I said, I don't think I would have given them a second glance/listen if first exposure had been through radio or video, but I will get my butt out to see them any time they're here.

I thought Billy Talent was playing Philly?

Dang. I was looking forward to that.
