Years ago, I saw Queen + Paul Rodgers do a gig at the terrible Wembley Arena (Roger even apologised for the sound halfway through) and Brian came to the front alone to do LOML and I had an involuntary meltdown, it was so lovely.

Missed the first 30 minutes but from what I've seen I don't think there's been anything wrong tonight. The long gaps between acts maybe.

disagreethis show is like christmas for mealso its been making me cry on the regularso many of these bands/artists have already lost ppl in their lineups so the layers of meaning going on are v overwhelming at times

I was just thinking about that; there's a lot of people who performed today who will never play for an audience this size again, if at all.

yeah that destroyed melike in a way i couldn’t believe he was playing & hosting the whole thing because its gotta be still so painful but of course he’ll do it because he’s dave & taylor’s family deserve it & he doesn’t know how not to — but when he broke down part of me was like i wish he didn’t feel like he had toyou know? it’s so much to carry & perform& try to power through

also rufus taylor did an amazing jobhalf thought to myself shit if this is an audition he’s got the job, the whole band was looking at him with heart-eyes emojis

He also looks kinda like Taylor, minus 20 years.

I wonder if MTV or someone is planning to stream the Los Angeles gig, I would think so given the charity aspect.
― MaresNest, Sunday, 4 September 2022 11:18 (two years ago) link
Looks like there'll be a lot of crossover in the guests from yesterday, but a few LA-only appearances (Alanis, Joan Jett, etc). WVH again, Rush again, Homme again, Brian and Roger again.

That was fantastic. Aw, Pat hugging the kid at the end.
Has Dave had a perm?

Pat seems like such an open, joyful/caring dude. I think Dave’s just in need of a hot oil treatment. Dry scraggly just like mine :(

Shane looks like he stepped out of a 70s Disney animation. Beautiful clip, one thing I really enjoyed was the band working with him to keep it all stuck together so well. Wonderful musical and human skills.

Of all the drums at this event Lars is about the last one I would pick to play an AC/DC song given his extreme allergy to anything close to a groove
The Pretenders I thought were great

Josh Freese is so good, anytime that guy is involved in anything is just tremendous, he even keeps a lot of Taylor's choices in the performance, Josh Freese for president

Heh I heard about Freese a few months ago from a friend in the know, seemed like the sensible and inevitable choice.

They should have held auditions for the content though. The Dream Theater drummer audition videos are great in a Spinal Tap/Some Kind of Monster way, doesn't matter if you hate the band, which everyone does (and should).
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Thursday, 25 May 2023 16:33 (one year ago) link
Yeah, Dream Theatre are fucking nonsense but I loved watching them struggle through (or not) the mad bit of math rock they had concocted to test each drummer out.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 25 May 2023 16:36 (one year ago) link
I thought the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts were kind of fun live drummer auditions, and I think they made the right choice but like...what if Omar Hakim joined the Foo Fighters?
Also Taylor's son Shane is absolutely capable but am glad they're not shoving a teenager in mourning into the most famous rock band on the planet
I wonder if Dave ever considered taking over on drums and finding new singers?
