The Black Crowes Thread

I love me some KD Lang

Firstly, fuck the two brothers...hard

It was all positivity in 2005 too...then CR slowly started pulling his ego trip and it all fell apart...it'll happen again...the story about the Fillmore in 2005 that Steve told on the Maron podcast (I believe that was the one) kind of summed it all up.

What happened at the Fillmore??

So Steve told a story on one of the longer podcasts he's done (I think it was Dean Delray, not Maron as I said above) about the last show of the 2005 Fillmore Run...the band has come offstage and the crowd is not leaving and they are STILL going apeshit, even though the lights are up. Someone in the band, whether it was Rich or whoever, was like "let's go out and do Sometimes Salvation." Whole band is into it and CR pulls the "fuck that, that crowd isn't going to tell me what to do, I'm done." Whole band looks on in disbelief.

EDIT: yeah, it was Delray

Heard the Howard Stern interview. They were saying that when they toured with Oasis, even the Gallagher brothers thought they fought too much

i also don't believe they are gonna enjoy playing the same set every night. This tour is still 8 months out?? They will be sick of rehearsing for it that's for sure.

This sounds about right.

apparently someone (part of the new mgmt team?) let it slip the other day that BOAF dates (a short run, 8-10 shows, maybe a few more) are coming for the Winter before the summer tour...now THAT I will try to hit up

yea I'lldo that for sure. That way i can feel good about paying money to these idiots.

I really love this band and this whole "reunion" fiasco has really made me realize just how much i love their music and how much its been a part of my life since 1996.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

There was a time I would have loved to see a BOAF show, but like I said I’m done giving money to these guys who have made it abundantly clear time and again that they have zero appreciation for their fans.

[evenslow]

I can't tell you how many people have contacted me in the past week about going to see their show next summer. Mostly people who wouldn't know Steve Gorman if he slapped them in the face. They just hear "Black Crowes" and it's automatic.

Maybe somebody will buy me a ticket and I can go and watch and be mad all night.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

The weird thing for me is that even if I hear it’s amazing I don’t want to see it. It’s not about Steve Gorman, or Marc Ford, or any of that. It’s about what a couple of unappreciative assholes the Robinson brothers are to their own legacy. Seriously, I feel like TBC means more to me than it does to them. They have no reverence for what they created. I’m content with the memories of all the shows I went to that blew me away, and I feel like seeing this incarnation will only diminish that for me.

One thing I will say about Gorman that I completely agree with is that this is not a reunion based on musical connections. It’s about money, and they make no bones about that. Which is their prerogative, but that’s never been what you felt a Crowes show was about. It was about the connection. The song. This makes all that stuff seem like a bunch of bullshit, and maybe it was, but I don’t remember it that way.

[liebzz]

It probably goes back to not really bringing the band back together. It’s sort of like Guns N Roses ‘00s edition or Smashing Pumpkins when it was Billy Corgan and basically no one else, or any other number of bands that the remaining parts clearly don’t make the whole. I mean it’s just like As the Crowe Flies with both Robinson brothers and no Marcus King right?

[oasisfan35]

I'd say this succinctly denotes a cash grab.

Gorman's best quote was "they're selling a brand, not a band"

So simple, yet so accurate

[LetMeSleep]

Latest Rolling Stone Music Now has S Gorman. Lots of good stories and a Stone story.

[Self]

Can you guys show me on the doll where the Robinson Bros hurt you?

[verb_to_trust]

I mean, they're just douchebags

[Self]

I can't form an argument against that, verb. I'll probably pony up and see them this summer, though.

[Strat]

Well this is fun:

[surfndestroy]

Loved the podcast with Steve Gorman here. Gorman's reverence for 92-94 Crowes is heartwarming.
