Man. I just saw this pic on one of their IG carousels and just had this weird moment of sadness. While there are pages on this thread dedicated to IARB being great and everything going downhill since…I just had a feeling wash over me of the first time I saw them live in ‘04. And we didn’t have to worry about all of this shit. And still will admit that the intro/Belt is one hell of an opener.
Obviously the people being weird and banging on the bus door are awful and need to back off and not invade their personal space in any capacity, but I find it kinda wild that they brought their children on tour with them. I mean the above is the perfect example, bringing your kids on tour does not seem like a safe idea at all (yes it can be done but the times I’ve heard of it happening the kids stay back at the hotel with the other parent or a guardian or babysitter) and also kids are very germ infested people so there’s a higher risk of catching something and having to postpone shows. The kids should be in some form of school/structured life, not living on the road living the tour life at such young ages.
So max has a head cold, but also Strep? Also why have the tour bus anywhere near the venue if you canceled the show? Cancelling the show 2-3 hours before doors right around the time VIP happens is also suspect lol
I would be surprised if they cancel the tour considering I assume Max knows this is likely one of his last big paydays.
My date was the MD date. I am so glad I held off on buying tickets. After seeing the lackluster live videos, I had already come to the conclusion that I had made the right choice.
Yeah I am confused. Does he have strep or a head cold? If he has a head cold then antibiotics would be completely unnecessary and if he has strep why is his wife and all of his kids in a small enclosed space with him where he will surely get them infected (assuming none of them got him infected). I am usually not one to go all tin-foil hat when someone says something but when they give conflicting info it does make you question what the reality is.
you are correct to question, seems full of shit? Right? I mean we call a spade a spade. Especially after the tour bus harassment claim.
If they want to lie…sure fine (although it is tacky and not a great move) but at least keep your story straight between all parties making statements lol
Just listened to the EP. Sounds like something the FBI would use to torture convicts into confessions. some of the worst music my ears ever heard.
I listen to is a real boy all the time. Still great, still love it, I guess I just accept that Max today is a washed up mentally ill man in way over his head with a huge family and flailing music career. Has nothing to do with that first album still ripping. Sucks for people who bought tickets and didn’t know he was like this now, but that ship sailed for most of us a while ago
So the meet and greet is cancelled presumably because he is still sick but somehow he will be okay to perform the entire set? Something still is not adding up.
