Yeah, dude's a great guitar player, but people around here treated the guy as he was this generation's Hendrix. His job was coming with a batch of good riffs every three years or so and, yeah, he was good at that, but the guy is no Frusciante or something like that as people around here seems to think.

On the other hand, a lot of fans just love to downplay Meg's skills as if she doesn't know how to hold a guitar in her hands. Well, two points: first, she is a really good guitar player. Second and most important, she's not trying to kill elderly people down the street.

It’s at the end of the article

In order to avoid multiple reposts this megathread is here to share your excitement and thoughts on getting tour tickets.

Thought I’d make a post discussing my experience at Manchester, me and my partner were front row barrier which we were really excited about as we’re huge turnstile and the garden fans.

We’ve been to our fair share of hardcore shows for bands we’d say are a lot heavier and have been barrier for them also without any issue (we love a good pit) but the people at barrier for Manchester were appalling, my partner had girls who were actively pulling her hair to drag her backwards and noticed hair missing the next day, I had a guy who shoved in next to me (again not a problem as I’ve had shows where the same has happened and the crowd constantly changes) but when I didn’t move and give him the barrier spot I was in (my jacket and most of my things were on the floor in front of me) he said he would “smash my head in”.

At one point my partner went down due to a crowd surfer and was crushed against the barrier, I feel like the general concert etiquette anywhere is to make sure everyone around you is doing good and not injured, even at a hardcore gig.

The whole things left a sour taste and we didn’t feel like we could fully enjoy the gig of one of our favourite bands we were looking forward to seeing, thought I should post I guess in case of similar situations but I feel like I haven’t seen any, I hope everyone else had a much better experience.

Look I know theyve blown up and attract a larger audience that includes people outside of the hardcore scene, but I need to rant lol. Why are we full force pushing people from behind when they are trying to two step, its not even a breakdown part of a song.

How have the pit styles been at other dates on the tour? Forest Hills was definitely a bit frustrating for me.

I cringed at the first track, dudes just moaning n singing off-key the whole time.

The audio on the stream was incredible! Loved the intro from Brendan’s Dad too, right in the feels. Some pretty breathtaking shots too. Anyone else catch their performance at Coachella?

i’m seeing them on tuesday in raleigh and i am so excited! i figure they will play birds, but what other song? any theories?

Edit post SNL: BIRDS & I CARE/DULL!!! while so many folx in this thread wanted some old stuff, i feel like they still showed that they’re hard as fuck. great performance as always! also can we talk about the phone wall?!

Had a blast last night at the show but this is just a fair warning to new “hardcore” fans if you do not want to get pushed or shoved into please stay in the back of the crowd or find a different spot to move to that has more space. Two girls in the front of the crowd by me (we were 2nd/3rd row from barricade left center) yesterday kept picking fights with people and complained/screamed for the entirety of the first part of the show. Seriously you’re at a HARDCORE show. Especially if you are FRONT/CENTER you will constantly be moving around/shoved/pushed into. If you can’t handle this type of crowd or it’s your first turnstile show please do us all a favor and go to the back where there is more space/less shoving. Picking fights with people and starting arguments bc you claim to have no space… then leave. Those two girls ruined the experience for so many of us in the crowd last night that were just moshing/trying to have a good time. As soon as they left our area we all had a BLAST. No fighting no arguing just all around fun and good vibes. I’m afraid these new “hardcore” fans are ruining the hardcore experience.

Was traveling from Philly towards DC. Dude had to be at least 80. Seemed nice. Rockin the new Never Enough merch. New fan, old head or perhaps a very proud grandpa.

Either way it's official, Wu-Tang is for the children, Turnstile is for the retirees.

Kinda made my day. Not rage bait just bein goofy. That's it.

Literally counting down the days till I can stand in that damn pit! 😁 Are any other new yorkians also going solo dolo and want to get a lil group together for the show?

My 16 year-old daughter and I were up front and center. I was getting crushed so I went over. Two minutes later she came out crying hysterically because someone put his hand up her shirt and felt her up. 16 years old.

Whoever did this, if you are on here, I hope you NEVER have that happen to a lady you care about. I expected more from the TLC crowd.

EDIT:

EVERYBODY COME TO THE HILL BEHIND THE STAGE, WE HAVING OUR OWN PARTY AND THE VIEW FOR FREE 99 IS CRAZY GOOD

So it's pretty obvious at this point that TM is up to their usual fuckery and is refusing to release tix for under $100 - those of us familiar with their system know this isn't a tech glitch and they're doing it on purpose.

For those of us refusing to bend to corporate greed, where y'all gonna be watching the show from? Meetup? Discuss.

Anyone know why this changed? I just had to cancel my flight, lodging, and get a t*cket refund. :(

Personally I hated a lot of the singles when they came out. Never Enough, Seein' Stars, and Birds specifically all sounded like songs they had already done on Glow On, and I was really worried that they weren't evolving their sound at all, which has been something I've always loved about Turnstile personally.

That being said I think some of the best songs on the album are the deeper cuts. Sole, Dreaming, Light Design, are amazing songs, and the way they all flow into each other is great. Also, once I spent a few weeks listening to the album I loved how just all the songs flow into one another, it's very pleasing and made me appreciate some of the singles in a different light.

Admittedly I still can't get over how much Never Enough sounds like Mystery, and I do think the album sorta loses a bit of steam towards the end with Time is Happening, but over all I'm eating my words and this album was way better then I thought it would be and is probably as good if not better than Glow On, and a good evolution of the sound they started in that album.

Anyone else hate it but now love it? Or even love it but now hate it? lol

No matter how early I get in queue Ticketmaster should just kick you out of queue if there’s none available. I got in and none were left

So as inclusive as the band seems to be the fans here want to control what people wear and what they take pictures and videos with. Seems kind of opposite of what the band wants from its fans but here we are.

Someone said people can do what they want and others can feel what they want about it in response... True. Have your feelings about what others do that annoys you. But if they aren't hurting anyone then shut up about it.

If there’s a 2nd leg I would love to see Turnstile, Angel Du$t, Hi Vis, & Basement or Mannequin Pussy.

Between the cell phone theft rings in NYC and Philly, the venue staff telling people in Buffalo the show was cancelled when it wasnt, the pepper spray in Richmond, and the tour merch tags not matching the actual sizes of the items... this thing is off to an odd start. Hope this bad streak ends soon, but also hoping the band and their management are aware of these things and can perhaps address some of them?

Speed - They put on such a fun set that was just pure energy. Was really cool to hear an Australian hardcore band and found myself beaming as everyone went nuts two stepping.

Mannequin Pussy - Holy shit this was one of the best sets I’ve ever seen. The raw emotion and rage mixed with a tone of “we’re not accepting this” was incredible. Their lead guitar was crushing it and without spoiling the set, the bassist brought the house down. Just a phenomenal performance, would 10/10 recommend getting there early for the openers 🤘
