12.29.12 | Running just a bit behind in posting my year-end lists this time around. Oh well. |
WhiteNoise
12.29.12 | Steel panther!!! I saw them at sound wave, with alter bridge and then again at their headline show, so much fun!
I wish I saw yellowcard but for whatever reason I didn't end up going!
I'm trying to think what bands I actually saw this year...haha awesome list though. |
AtavanHalen
12.29.12 | lol
what an atrocious list
i feel so sorry for you |
Minus.
12.29.12 | wow almost all of these are lousy |
AliW1993
12.29.12 | I can't pretend to have any desire to see most of these. The only one I have seen this year is Florence, and tbh I was quite disappointed. |
londoncalling457
12.29.12 | damn |
Cygnatti
12.29.12 | royal republic sweet |
LocustGrove
12.29.12 | You like MCR? LOL they suck so bad |
Minus.
12.29.12 | "You like MCR? LOL they suck so bad"
Some of their stuff is pretty good actually. |
Cygnatti
12.29.12 | yeah, we totes need his generic elitist-wannabe approval |
clercqie
12.29.12 | Royal Republic is a terrific festival band. Really would like to see Steel Panther as well someday. |
SCREAMorphine
12.29.12 | Did you miss Thursday? |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Predictable reaction to this list is predictable. Clearly not enough indie & metal.
I did see Thursday SCREAM & enjoyed them a lot... See SoundWave list at top of page. |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | "clearly not enough indie and metal"
or
y'know
not enough good bands |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to Operator Please at Liverpool High School, Justin Bieber at ACER Arena or Loon Lake at the Rooty Hill RSL. ;-) |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | ahaha fuck your references are dated
you really don't get out much do you
i guess it's tough with your balls in a vice |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | My references or your musical tastes? Because all those 3 acts are sooooo old! |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Yeah, you definitely get your money's worth... Especially now that they've built up their discography. |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | oh yeah yellowcard would have been so great
i'm a big fan of all of their hit song |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | (Turning sarcasm monitor off). I 99% agree, but you left a letter off the end.
Hey, at least you'd like the opening 2-3 words off their new album. |
Yuli
12.30.12 | Daveyboy sighting! How you doing, man? |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Going great Omaha. Obviously a busy time of year atm... & that includes piecing together all these year-end lists (personal & staff collaboration). |
Yuli
12.30.12 | I definitely know what you mean. I'm contributing a lot to the User's Best of 2012 feature, I'm making my own list here, and I'm also working on stuff for MuzikDizcovery... One busy winter break.
I'm excited to see your 2012 list! |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | "at least you'd like the opening 2-3 words off their new album"
are the words "we're talentless hacks"
if so then yes, yes i would enjoy those words |
taylormemer
12.30.12 | I think you meant to say:
Predictable reaction to this predictably awful list is predictable. |
Yuli
12.30.12 | Yeah, we need some field recordings or sludge metal up in this bitch |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | it's too much to ask ck to do a list that doesn't completely suck
i mean the guy goes to like 1 show every 4 months
and that show will invariably suck |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Good to hear you're contributing Omaha.
Atavan was once a contributor... & Jake currently is. |
Yuli
12.30.12 | A few of these shows actually sound pretty cool, to be honest. |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Yeah, but I wrote this, so they can't be cool. |
cthasher
12.30.12 | Saw Alter Bridge in 2011 and they were pretty awesome. |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Yeah, they surprised me. The low end of their sound was very prevalent. Didn't quite get their setlist right on the day I saw them though. |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | lol censorship
how good are creed |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | I know, who would have thunk it. Myles must have the magic touch. |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open... wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything... oh yeah
With arms wide open... wide open |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | On this day, I see clearly.
Always knew you weren't an Edge fan. |
Tyrael
12.30.12 | Jealous of 1 |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | One day they will come your way Thomas. Or have you just missed them? |
Tyrael
12.30.12 | Nah they didn't visit Belgium, they came to Germany this summer but I wasn't really up for a six hour drive |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | D'oh. At least you are able to drive to another country. Us Aussies would get very wet driving to New Zealand. |
Tyrael
12.30.12 | Hahahahahahaha |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | "Jealous of 1"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
Yuli
12.30.12 | Most ladies would, anyway ;) |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | ck i think omaha is coming onto you |
Yuli
12.30.12 | I typically do flirt with Davey, yeah, but are we pretending my last comment had a semblance of a flirtation in there somewhere? Have fun with that, though |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | the wink clearly meant you want some of ck's ck |
RiffOClock

KSK1
12.30.12 | Was gonna get to see 1 next month but the show is the same day as Underoath :( |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | justice |
clercqie
12.30.12 | "Jealous of 1"
They went to Groezrock actually. But seriously, it was hella annoying... |
gosk8n
12.30.12 | i seen Nas and aesop rock and darktime sunshine live this year. all were awesome |
GnFnRs87
12.30.12 | 5 were one of the most fun bands I've seen live, saw them support Def Leppard and Motley Crue, then at Download and their headline show in November and they were great each time
I haven't seen 7 yet but I've seen Myles live with Slash twice |
DaveyBoy
12.30.12 | Def Lep, Motley Crue & Steel Panther. They should have called it "The DaveyBoy Tour"! |
AtavanHalen
12.30.12 | yeah that's totally what they should have done
except they already did that for the bryan adams tour |
Tyrael
12.30.12 | 'They went to Groezrock actually. But seriously, it was hella annoying...'
Dude even Simple Plan played on Groezrock how gay is that |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | DavID, don't even mention the Bryan Adams tour. Did you see who is supporting? Better be sideshows! |
AtavanHalen
12.31.12 | lol you're gonna have to go to bryan adams and become a fully fledged dad |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | Hehe. "Everything I doooooo, I dooooo it for Amy".
I don't even know where the link is between those 2. |
AtavanHalen
12.31.12 | he's probably fucking her mum |
NUCFLASH
12.31.12 | Interesting list, I watched MCR open for Taking Back Sunday/From Autumn to Ashes in 2002 and Yellowcard open for No Use For a Name that same year. Both shows were great. It was weird seeing MCR/Yellowcard blow up shortly thereafter. |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | That's as good an explanation as I can think of DavID.
2002! Holy time warp Batman. I'm guessing they may have both changed a little since back then. MCR were probably a mess live back then. |
clercqie
12.31.12 | "Dude even Simple Plan played on Groezrock how gay is that"
Very. Lucky for me, Gorilla Biscuits played at the same time and they killed it. |
Aids
12.31.12 | The only band I've seen live on this list is The Jezabels and I saw them twice on one day. They fackin
KILLED IT both times, once at a midday set on a hot summer day to a couple thousand, and then later at
a midnight show in a small, beautiful church that held a few hundred.
Anyway, as always, I love your live music coverage Davey, I wish more people did this sort of thing
on sputnik. |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | Thanks Aids. Hopefully this list will inspire more people to make similar lists.
Did you have to say "Amen" at the end of the church show? |
Pennywise_M
12.31.12 | Gigs of the year? Textures, Meshuggah+Decapitated+C.B Murdoc. And Trivium |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | Sounds like a rap sheet. |
Hospital
12.31.12 | nice list, man |
DaveyBoy
12.31.12 | Muchos Gracias Senor. |
NUCFLASH
12.31.12 | Yellowcard were much better than MCR at those early shows. I was still a bit surprised by how big they both got and that MCR became more mainstream. |
TMobotron
12.31.12 | Agalloch, Converge, Shpongle, and Streetlight Manifesto all put on incredible shows for me this year. |
YankeeDudel
12.31.12 | woof |
DaveyBoy
01.01.13 | meow |
HBFS
01.01.13 | letlive. at soundwave? radiohead? |
AtavanHalen
01.01.13 | both good bands
like fuck ck would have been allowed to see them |
DaveyBoy
01.01.13 | radiohezzzzzzzzzz |
AtavanHalen
01.01.13 | JEZABELS ON THE OTHER HAND
MILE A MINUTE FUCKING EXCITEMENT |
TheNotrap
01.01.13 | Damn I miss Florence this summer...She had voice prob...
Probably the greatest pop singer of the last...let's say 5 years?
|
Aids
01.01.13 | "Did you have to say "Amen" at the end of the church show?"
haha, no. It was a music festival in Victoria (nice mid size city in BC, not more than a million in all surrounding areas). The night venues were various bars and other things scattered around the downtown core. I'd never been to a festival like that but it was expertly executed. The church venue was just so amazingly intimate. I was seated for The Jezzys but The Antlers played after them and I was 2 feet from Pete whatshisname's face. |
DaveyBoy
01.01.13 | At least the Jezzies play the songs the people want to hear (even if in a strange sequence).
Hmmm, that's one to mull over TNT, but you may well be correct.
That whole festival sounds real cool Aids. It would have to be executed right, as you say. But definitely something different. |
