BMRC rocked (if you like Jesus and Mary Chain, you'll love em). I was in the PIT and got clocked in the head with a drink, meant for an empty stage (tards). Everybody had to piss but didn't want to lose their spot or miss the first song, so biology got in the mix. Ford knew at 9:15 - they suck. I hope they reschedule, I'm a fan of the music whether there are drugs behind it or not. I didn't have to hire a sitter (like some) or pay for my ticket so I had a blast just seeing BRMC. If they do reschedule, I hope it's in better hair weather, geeze. The shirts were $50. BMRC rocked (if you like Jesus and Mary Chain, you’ll love em).

Go to your point of purchase, though, and get a refund for the $150 you spent. Gabe's right. BRMC gets paid regardless if you and everyone receives a refund. And if STP does reschedule, you can always purchase fresh tix. It's not like STP is going to sell out the Amp. Shawn: Pearl Jam and Radiohead are the only bands left from the 90s that matter. Fortunately, they both proved that with killer shows here this year. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/tampacalling/2008/06/12/pearl-jam-reviewed-in-real-time/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/tampacalling/2008/05/07/radiohead-review/ ErinKay: Glad you enjoyed BRMC and props for trying to stay positive.

STP, in my mind, never were or will be relevant. sometimes you just need to know when to say when; and with this band, they obviously don't have a clue. thankfully, a lot of great bands have known when to call it rather than tarnish their legacy. if a band is going to get back together, they need to be doing something new and relevant.

If you are a fan of a band full of a LA LA Land drug addled malcontent, I wouldn't expect the guy to be punctual like Barry Manilow. I saw him with leopard skin hair on the end of their Tiny Music tour, just days before he went into lock down for the first time and the guy was performing his ass off. After seeing him go through the motions on a super sponsored Velvet Revolver tour (only went 'cause of the guest list) I found myself disappointed. The only 90's band left with any validity is unfortunately Pearl Jam. Kurt's dead. Corgan's head is up his arse. The rest bit the bullets or paychecks of incredulity long ago.

BRMC will get paid even if every ticket holder opts for a refund. as far a folks who bought merch, you are probably screwed. if you're really pissed about owning the $40 STP shirt for a show they didn't play, i recommend calling the ford amp every chance you get and demanding a refund for it. the venue provides the merch sales people and takes a hefty cut of the merch sales. if it means that much to you, call them 5 times a day until you get your money back. if it were me, i would because i'm an asshole when it come to stuff like that. or sell it on ebay when STP breaks up again. next week. include your ticket stub with the shirt for proof that the shirt was bought at a show they didn't play. maybe you'll get $10 or $15 for it. from all accounts, the STP no-show announcement was handled poorly by whoever was in charge of it. as james said above, their gear and merch made it, so where was the band? the ford amp had to have known before the show even started.
