Last time they toured was 2003, and the San Francisco date was cancelled. I've been nursing my bitterness for three years. FINALLY!

 

[Reign in Acai]

Fuck yes! Probably will attend the San Diego gig. I've been waiting for this tour for ages. :hotjump:

 

[MajestikMøøse]

BG is one of those bands I've been meaning to pick up more albums of, but never have.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

M00se gets screwed again, btw

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

prolly wont be seeing them, especially because its in chicago, and I have no one to go with

 

[JayKeeley]

Fuck yes! Probably will attend the San Diego gig. I've been waiting for this tour for ages. :hotjump:

Waiting for the tour? How about the new album? It's only been like 5 years. I saw them a couple of times on the last tour (once headlining ProgPower and the other time in NY).

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Cant wait for this, probably going to catch to D.C. and Pennsylvania shows on this tour.

 

[JayKeeley]

Has anyone heard the new stuff from the EP?

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yea, to be honest I was a little dissapointed with "Fly" at first, but it is growing on me. I dunno, I have high hopes as usual, but I really do enjoy most everything they have released so Im not expecting to be dissapointed.

 

[JayKeeley]

Can yousendit "Fly"?

Yeah, I love BG. And yes, this includes the overly pompous, overly long "Night at the Opera". Took a couple of years and then one day it all came together. But yeah, beginning to end, know and love it all.

That said, not a great live band I have to say. Music just works better in the studio with all it's multiple layering / harmonies.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Ohh yea I grew to love ANATO after awhile, it wasnt long before I was singing along to every song in the car. Yousending "Fly" as we speak, check back in a few.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

"Fly"

 

[JayKeeley]

Thanks. Listening now.

EDIT: Gotta say, I like it on first listen. I can only imagine this getting better.

 

[M.Lehto]

I just can't believe how boring this band is these days, I remember when Imaginations was released and it was the best album in the world...I still like that album.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

if i'm around for this, i should get a Canadian Curling Team jersey to wear to the show...

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Shit, I would love to see these guys again... They've never really impressed me live, but you still end up having a jolly good time, singing along and banging your head!

 

[General Zod]

I only heard the single once, and I can't say I can ever imagine it growing on me. I'm actually more psyched to hear the new Persuader CD, than the new BG.

[Will Bozarth]

I had to miss the BG/SX tour... my ride bailed on me the day before... I've been pissed off about it ever since. Now I get to see them in Philly! WOO!
