Booche Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 My holidays just started an hour and 17 minutes ago, but seriously. Let's get tickets people. I gotta see Beck or I am going to lose something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I think you need to see both Becks live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I've seen him five times. Every time the sound sucked so badly, I finally gave up.I love Beck's music, too, but save your money and spend it on his discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalacePrincess Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 you know what i just discovered, like last week? beck is married to cynthia!

Cosmic ChrisC Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is Beck even touring right now?I've wanted to see Beck for years, but I guess I'm not trying hard enough to make it happen.I got turned off when I heard he was into Scientology.Too bad about Marissa Ribisi also being a Scientologist. I liked her in Dazed and Confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Saw him at Molson Amphitheatre sometime after Odealy and before Mutations - maybe summer '98? - with Ben Folds Five :thumbup: and Sean Lennon :thumbdown: opening. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I too have seen Beck about 5 times and I'd be lying if I said I didnt have loads of fun each time. I cant remember the sound being all that bad either.That being said, I havent been too into his newer stuff, so I have no idea what his shows are like these days. But if what I saw on Bravo is any indication, they're still entertaining and the little guy is always trying something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I abhor Beck when he does his white soul stage act, but he's great when straps on a guitar and rocks it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 is it an act? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Religion ... philosophy ... irrational beliefs ... whatever you want to call it, I think the point is that it's irrelevant to how much you like or don't like his music. If not for the horrible sound every time I saw him, I'd still want to see him again; regardless of the Scientology-thing.For instance, Henry Rollins was always a complete jerk, and has been rude as hell to a friend of mine. I still dig Black Flag and the Henry Rollins Band, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I always found his, "im a little white soul man," stuff amusing. Its not like he takes him self all that seriously when he does it, either - just listen to the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I actually like his latest albums Guero and The Information. A lot of fun tunes on those albums that make for a head-bopping good time. I would like to see him live as well, but I won't be all too fussed if I didn't.

phishtaper Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Saw him at Molson Amphitheatre sometime after Odealy and before Mutations - maybe summer '98? - with Ben Folds Five :thumbup: and Sean Lennon :thumbdown: opening. Good show. saw that one too. he's quite entertaining in a geeky kinda way. he also opened for the Stones a couple of years ago at the skydome, but we only "saw" him from backstage on the monitors. he sounded good, though. i'd recommend him. the music is great. his dancing? well ...

DevO Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I saw him at Lollapalooza 95 and it was awesome. I'm a big fan of pre-Mellow Gold Beck, like One Foot In The Grave and Stereopathetic Soulmanure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Yup. Beck is killer. Leanne and I saw him in Toronto about a year ago. I'd say it was about 50% capacity in there which we agreed was so stupid. Definitely made our "top three shows ever" list. Beastie Boys were on there too. Beck was STELLAR. Go see him for sure.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 indeed - saw him for the first time at Lolla95 and was in awe - seen him 3 or 4 times, each time great fun...Midnite Vultures tour at the Gardens was my last show there...

jayr Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Beck kicks. Love the marinettes (sp?) during the last show in TO. Great show all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
