I give it 5 years before they're back on the road together. No matter what, the Robinson brothers can't quit each other, in a professional sense.

The Warpaint and Before The Frost iteration of the band was just phenomenal. Not a bad note to leave off on.

Agreed. I saw them just before Before The Frost's release in '09 and it remains one of the best shows I've seen.

I agree with half of that. I didn't care for Warpaint despite many, many tries. I loved Before the Frost though and Croweology was great fun.

Can't be a lucrative reunion tour w/out a breakup, so the first half is accomplished.
Talk about tmi, I don't feel any better off knowing the economics of the break up (or to be fair, one side of the argument).
Surprisingly enough I agree w/ TC re Warpaint & Frost.

I guess the lesson as always is Chris Robinson is an asshole.

This really doesn't worry me. It kind of just made me roll my eyes. They'll be back. They always are.
I actually like War Paint. Far from my favorite of theirs but I think it's good. It has some songs I really like. I can crank Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution any time and love it.
Until they get back together there will be some cool spinoff/side project type stuff that will be enjoyable.

Re: Artist Of The Week 2/10/13; The Black Crowes
Yeah, this is sad news. Though I am sold on the last Crowes keyboardist Adam MacDougall, I really enjoyed what Harsch brought to the Crowes in the 90's (see versions of "Thorn in My Pride" for examples). "Tis a shame this news comes on the heels of the recently announced Magpie Salute show in January.

Goofy things afoot in Connecticut over the weekend. Just noticed that a bunch of Black Crowes played the Warehouse in Fairfield over the weekend- just different nights. The Magpie Salute, Friday. CRB, Sat.

I was digging back through this thread after consuming the Steve Gorman book.Clams wrote:I remember being in a rainy parking lot on a Sunday night the first time I heard Jealous Again (or was it Twice as Hard?) and thinking "Holy Shit... either the Stones just put out a really good new song or there's a great new band to check out!" I was so sick of all that Hair Metal and Jeff Lynne soft rock that was so popular back then and it was great to hear some real rock and roll for a change (I felt the same way about GnR back then too). I was really into the Crowes for a while (I saw them do a smoking hot show at the Tower Theater just after Southern Harmony came out) but I confess to falling off the bandwagon from about the mid 90's on. But they are a great rock band - definitely one of the best from 1990 on. They jumped the shark when Chris Robinson hooked up with Kate Hudson - she was way too Hollywood for a band like that. Great job, Cole Younger.
He was extremely complimentary of Kate Hudson. He gives her a lot of credit for keeping Chris (and thus the band) on track in the late 90's early 00's (in terms of not falling apart or doing as many self destructive things). You can tell that he genuinely enjoyed her presence and has a lot of respect for. He specifically takes a shot at the narrative that she was some kind of divisive Yoko Ono style presence .

loved how Gorman tells of the band taking bets on the over/under for their marriage at the actual wedding and how Kurt Russell got in on the action Other than Robert Plant, Kate and Goldie/Kurt got perhaps the best treatment in the book.

Yeah, that was a pretty funny anecdote.

I heard about this a short while ago. Wish he would be in it if they do. Always liked him in the band- a steady eddie if you will. Maybe they get Tony Leone who was the CRB drummer. Who does keys would be interesting...

Re: Artist Of The Week 2/10/13; The Black Crowes
My prediction is hired guns, likely non-name players who won’t get paid much. At this point everyone knows what working with the brothers is like, so why would anyone not totally desperate for any gig take the job?211poundsofpork wrote:I heard about this a short while ago.

Re: Artist Of The Week 2/10/13; The Black Crowes
was there for this whole run. This was the last show before the hiatus, though the mini-Europe run was announced later. Around the 6 minute mark Chris starts handing out all kinds of stuff from the stage to the audience- at 6:29 or so mark he tosses those yellow shakers into the crowd and they came right to me..... except some big dude literally crushed me to get them. It was a hit Jack Tatum would be proud of

Re: Artist Of The Week 2/10/13; The Black Crowes
the dope ran out, they're doing it, 2020 tour with, as I predicted, a bunch of hired guns to round out the band. Big venues, places of the size they haven't played since the 2006 tour with DBT & Robert Randolph, and expensive as fuck tickets (I clicked on TM for the Austin show and the sweet floor seats were over $300). Would imagine it will take a multiple act bill to draw enough people to fill sheds. And I wonder who is gonna go to this- virtually every hardcore Crowes fan I know has said a big HELL NO! to this (of course many of these folks will surely backslide and end up going).whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:
