any other fans of brand new?
anyone going to or have gone to any shows on this tour?
i'm seeing them may 10th.. and i'm pretty excited because i haven't seen them yet..
so i have been waiting for this show for a long time.
and their new cd is effing amazing.. to me anyways.
very different from their last 2 discs but i love it.

i love Brand New

I've seen Brand New a few times (at least 6 or so). They used to be so amazing live. Last summer, things started going downhill. This past November, I went to NJ to see them (I live in MA), and it was easily the crappiest show I have ever attended . I was so disappointed because I've liked Brand New a lot, for a long time, but they just put on the worst show ever. The songs dragged out, and they would just stop playing and you'd be stuck listening to feedback for like 15 minutes at a time. My conclusion was that Jesse Lacey has finally realized he can be a douche and put very little effort into his music and everyone will still love them, so whateverrr.

eeek really?
your not the first person who has said that their live shows aren't as good as they used to ..
but i guess i have to believe it when i see it..
gah.. i'm going 14 hours away to see them too hahaha..
now you have scared me! ahha..

I'm sure you saw them on a bad night ...I just saw them a few days ago, and they were amazing ... they didnt have the feedback for 15 minutes like you were saying.... They played absolutely amazingly.

the only good songs they have are "Failure by Design" & "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows"
otherwise, ew.

I've really liked them for a long time.
Haven't been on their new tour, though.
They used to be great live, I'm
a bit dissapointed to hear otherwise this time around.

...i'm going to see them in two days. this post definitely boosts my expectations for them out of the roof.
haha

you will have to tell me what you thought of the show!

Easily one of their worst songs ever.....

im kind of a fan. dont have any cd's though. =[[[

Their a good band wouldnt mind seeing them in concert.

I highly recommend it

How good are they in concert. Do they sound like they do on TV?

Which are you referring too ... their videos or their live performance on Letterman not to long ago??

Their live sets are amazing. In my opinion, they are better in concert than on CD

Uuuuhhhhh sweet I will make sure to see them if i get the chance I have a busy year this year.

I had to go out of state to see them last, I wanted to see them on St Patty's Day, but I couldnt afford to go to that show and the bar ... so I chose the bar

haha, definitely.

I really hope your experience is better than mine. I spent 6 or 7 hours on trains on my way there. The concert ticket was 40$, and the train was 200$, and then the show was awful. . A few girls @ school seem to think the last time they saw them was "amazing," so maybe it will be.

damn, 200 bucks on train tickets ... and then to see an off night, that does suck

i love them. i have to miss their show this saturday bc i am in san diego but they are playing a myspace secret show in san francisco on sunday. so i am trying to make it back home on time.

i agree.. although i am spending 200/300 on either a bus/plane
but our tickets are only 23.. and i'm staying at a friends..
but i'll go with a positive attitude and tell you what i thought

kevin devine was AMAZING.
i caught both the show at The Warfield and the Myspace secret show in San Francisco. The secret show won because it was nice and intimate. Personally, I thought Brand New did really good.
Jesse comes out during both Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devines set as backup vocals.
and it IS a NO CAMERA show. jesse will tell you to turn off your camera. haha

ps. pay close attention to what jesse says.
that is all i can say. i was sworn to secrecy.
:]

ahhaha that's all i get!?
it makes me more excited now...
i'm seeing a different opening band though..i forget who is opening at the moment but i know for a fact it's differnet from who is opening in the US.

Ha, sounds like Jesse, the man cracks me up

Agreed.
I can't listen to it and keep a straight face.
I saw a video parody of it on youtube
and now I can't help but think of that.

Yeah, I'm still pretty bitter about it. Hopefully I'll see them next time they're around and they'll be better.

i love them. theyre playing on friday,i unfortunately cant go :[
christeeena,you should go if you're still here,idk.lol.


agreed.

damn skippy ... and I am clueless why they picked it as a single, but man did people eat it up like hot cakes

i'm a hotcake eater! i love that song

haha i wish!
i got back home around 6 yesterday so i missed the secret show anyway.

i was at the warfield show this past weekend as well and it was easily the most intense show i've ever been to, even more so than when they played the fillmore last summer, and that's a hard show to beat considering what went down that day.

The show I went to this didnt happen, but I heard that people were moshing to Brand New? Did it happen at the one you were at?

I don't know, I've been front row for Brand New both times I've seen them, so I have no clue what was going on behind me.

Wouldnt you be able to feel the people pushing hard behind you??? That seems to be a good indication while your in the front .... From Personal experience

Well there sure was a lot of pushing, thats for sure, I have bruised ribs and hips to prove it. I'm pretty sure everyone was just pushing, there's no way anybody could have moved with the crowd being that compacted. Sooo maybe there wasn't any moshing, just pushing?

I see what you mean, and yeah ... ive gotten cracked ribs from a concert before. You'd be surprised how little of room is needed to start a pit.

brand new is a really good band
their first cd is easily my favorite.


their 3rd cd is good too
my personal favorite is millstone

1st album being, 'Favorite Weapon'

yup.
i think my favorite off your favorite weapon is Soco Amaretto Lime

Like TBS, the first cd I heard from Brand New was their second album. Deja Entendu was a whole different thing from what I had been listening to, so I was immediately drawn in by it. The songs fit togethr nicely, so it gives you this feel that you can just sit and listen to it on repeat forever.

Your Favorite Weapon: Logan To Government Center and/or Seventy Time Seven.

Deja Entendu: "Good to Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have to Do Is Die" and "Play Crack The Sky"

The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me: Jesus Christ, Millstone, Degausser

All in all, I love the band. In my Top 3.

i LOVE millstone

I saw them a few years ago at Chain Reaction, and it was easily one of the worst concerts I've been to.

I'm probably the only person here who think this band is over-rated, and that Jesse tries too hard to be Morrissey.

yeah you probably are the only one.

haha

wow im seein u everywhere

lol yeah i'm going on a post craze,can you tell? lmao i'm procrastinating on making my burrito cuz i'm having so much fun on here lol

lol if i were u i would be long gone cuz i love food lol

but im not fat

I think he tries to hard, but not to be Morrissey.

lmao i love how you added you weren't fat.

i love food too,but slowly the hunger is going away i think because i'm having more fun on here lol

oh yea i forgot i made this thread..
since i have made it i did in fact see brand new for my first time
and they literally blew my socks off.
hands down best show i have ever seen. no joke.
and in my time i have seen alot of shows.
