Two of my favorite bands for sure. I just don't get Gaslight. There's a few bands that you kids dig that I don't get. Andrew W.K. is a great example... i don't get it...or maybe I just can't stand listening long enough to get it. Your old age is just getting to you where you can't party party party with Andrew W.K. but now I expect to see you up here for that show, and The Riot Before/Dirty Money one in october pretty sure I sent this to you but you should watch it again since it has your two favorite things, Andrew W.K. and a Gaslight Anthem clip - http://vimeo.com/1691162 Haha, I'm in your video! Unsurprisingly I'm the guy in the white t shirt holding a can of Strongbow in the air at the HWM Common Grounds gig. Sorry if I offended anyone that night...I was very very drunk! Timmy - did I meet you? I was very drunk too. I was hosting this guy Wayne http://www.myspace.com/waynehyde and he had gotten me drunk and also given me his passport to hold. At some point I heard accents like his and asked some dudes if they knew him (whipping out his passport) and they roughly did from a message board. So I brought the guys together. I will admit that I was wasted though. There is a picture of me from that night at a friend's house, passed out in my boyfriend's lap with my fist still in the air...taken around 5 AM. Haha. I'm gonna meet you and not recognise you and feel like a right dick! I do vaguely remember meeting someone that knew someone English over by the merch stand. I'm so sorry if I was being a dick... I was disgustingly drunk! Its alright, I won't recognize you either and am surprised I can remember this story. The good thing to notice here is I'm trustworthy to hold passports of people I've known less than an hour. Just fyi. |

For some reason I'm the "holder of glasses" person during the Fest. We look trustworthy I guess.

I saw this in Chapel Hill. I think it's funny that everyone on this board kind of stepped back for Gaslight. I was more focused on seeing PBC and American Steel (most ESPECIALLY American Steel) and totally just hung out in the back for Gaslight Anthem's set, which I really enjoyed.
Did AS play a bunch of old stuff for you guys? We got a good handful from Rogue's March and they even played "Rotting" from their self-titled album. Fucking amazing night. I wish I could watch American Steel everyday. |

I wasn't too crazy about "Destroy Their Future" but I probably just need to give it a closer listen.
"Jagged Thoughts" is amazing though. Somehow I had never listened to American Steel until they were announced on Fest last year, and by time I got to see them I absolutely loved that album. bummed I missed them last week, but I had to choose between that show and the Revival Tour.

Yes, you do. 
That album is a heartbreaker. I don't know why, but it gets me everytime, sans "Mean Streak" of course. |
