Re: Welcome to Club XIII

Something about the verses has a Three Great Alabama Icons quality to me and anything that evokes that side of the band is great with me. Just to bust your chops, I note the amusing irony of your reference to a "political song." :D I mean maybe going back as far as the Brighter Than Creation’s Dark...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

Listening to the new stuff in my truck this afternoon just reaffirms my excitement about these songs. Club XIII might not be a mind blowing song but does everything have to be? Not in my mind. It’s a fun song that puts a smile on my face and I wasn’t sure they still had any interest in these kinds o...

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

jimmyjack! Nice to see ya. BTW, the "less political" nature of the album has been clear for some time and when Patterson first described it that way (perhaps in an interview, possibly in one of his house concerts?) it generated virtually no controversy. My sense of the pulse (totally unscientific) ...

Re: 2022 Heathens Homecoming Thread - April 6, 7, 8 & 9

Does anyone know what time, typically, DBT will go on for Fri & Sat? Gonna be cutting it close from Atlanta... Also, how's the recording situation? Might bring my rig if it's not too much of a hassle. Cheers! I vaguely recall something like a 10pm (ish) walk on for Wed/Th and close to 11 for Fri Sa...

Bumping this thread only because it's one of my favorites of all time and a similar topic has been on my mind lately.

Well this escalated in a strange way. Bubba said what I was thinking. The guys haven’t played live much at all in a really long time.
