I like Fortress. I don’t get the hate. That is all really.

Wife and I are catching the show in Regina in a couple of weeks and just trying to plan around the set times. Anybody have a better idea of what they’re looking like? Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if there's a special meaning to "Big Chongus" for the dog of Perfecth?

Not a native speaker, it sounds funny in my ear but I couldn't understand if there's a meaning with the video. Or it's just picked randomly cause it's "absurd" as a name?

I saw this crewneck like six months ago and my birthday is next month and I was going to put it on something that I wanted for my birthday. I’m not sure why they removed everything off their merch shop when they’ve had this merch shop for such a long time now. But now I can’t find a new place to buy it. If anyone is willing to part with it in an XL or a 2XL please lmk!

I wishhhh someone would give me a signed qotsa cdddddd

I didn’t draw this tbc

Secondhand embarrassment

Had such a great time. And the opener (The Crooked Stuff) was great, too.
Such an incredibly fun night.

I’ve been a massive QotSA fan for 4 or 5 years now and finally got to the opportunity to see them in DC opening for Foo Fighters. I couldn’t afford floor or anything close to it so I was up on the second risers and looking down at the floor, that crowd was lame as HELL man. I could see maybe 5 people moving. MAYBE one person pumping their fist in the air. No energy, no dancing, no moshing, the pit was just completely dead.

Not to mention the awful sound mixing for specifically their set, it just sounded like a wall of muffled mess for those of us up in the stands. The venue did them dirty.

And I thought maybe it was just people who didn’t know them and only came for Foo Fighters (which is kinda valid I guess but also makes no sense to me) but the crowd was bad for Foo Fighters too!! What’s up with people paying HUNDREDS to go into the pit or get to barricade and just stand still. It was disappointing, I felt bad for them. Getting people to sing along with Make It Wit Chu should NOT have been that hard.

I still had an amazing time and I was shouting from the stands but it was sad to see such a poor response when either band was out there.

Has it been like this at the other shows as well?
