Brian Fallon - Sleepwalkers (February 9, 2018) Album • Page 50

Boston was great tonight! 59 Sound on the piano was such a special moment. And man does Forget Me Not rip live.

 

That was rad

 

Sorry to the dude proposing tomorrow.

 

Hahaha yeah

 

Fuck yeah it does

 

what is this referencing lol

 

also gutted to see they cut Last Rites. need that to not be the case tonight

 

Short story is Brian said there's this guy been messaging him telling him he's going to propose to his girlfriend at the show in New York for a very long time, kind of rudely. He took a vote from the crowd last night about wether or not he should let the guy do it or ruin his night and not allow it happen, and it being a Boston crowd, the decision was unanimously the latter.

This was about ten minutes of banter after two songs in the set, haha.

 

the essential Brian Fallon experience

will report back if it goes down or not tonight lol

 

I swear that story went on for 23 minutes hahaha

 

I love Brian banter. In Rochester he talked about the improper painting technique at the venue as the reason why little flakes were falling into Ian’s eyes lol

 

yeah i love the banter so much.

it's funny though because i remember on the Get Hurt tour he'd make a statement every night saying "we aren't going to do encores anymore, it's wasted time because you know we aren't done and we can play more songs in the time we'd leave stage"

but he would take five minutes to communicate that and kinda defeat the purpose lol

 

show was fun. no proposal haha. highlight was def Brian letting loose on Sugar, sounded more like the height of Blood Loss for a snippet.

find you a lover that looks at you the way Brian looks at Ian

 

Instead of a proposal, we got a 10 minute rant about soap.

 

Been obsessed with “I Believe Jesus Brought Us Together” lately. Possibly Brian’s best lyrics. Damn.

 

The Live at The Troubadour version is ridiculous.

For the uninitiated:

 

Random thought -

Brian has GOT to have a few punk bangers laying around that he never finished......sure would be awesome if he and TGA would record a little EP to celebrate this summer tour and stretch those muscles again.

 

Based off all the interviews from Brian the idea of Gaslight ever reuniting for an album is so unlikely.

BUT OH MAN do I pray these stretch of shows reignite a flame from all of them!

 

I still think there's a chance of a TGA reunion down the line. I think Brian is just enjoying the freedom of being able to do his own thing and not being burdened by the notion of living up to past Gaslight albums. And if he says "maybe there's a chance" in interviews then he will feel like he's being held to that, so he pumps the brakes on it when it gets brought up.

But they all seem to still have good relationships, and Brian's still making pretty similar music, so I wouldn't be shocked if this tour is the first step towards an eventual album down the line. We'll see!

 

I think they’ll definitely make a return. If this tour doesn’t reignite their spark i’d be surprised. But even if it doesn’t right away, I think we’ll get another Brian solo album then another Gaslight record.

 

They will return. I forget where I heard it, but Benny and Alex Levine had or were having kids when the band took a break and both of them have said in interviews or to people that posted here that the band would return and weren't done. I believe Benny had said on one of the going off track episodes that he wanted to spend time at home raising his new kid. Like you mentioned, the members are all still good friends so it's really just about timing things with families and now Brian's solo career. But there is no reason both can't exist.

 

Did anyone who preordered the deluxe edition of Sleepwalkers randomly get shipping info from the BF Store today? Says it was an update to my original order...

 

I didn't. But I still haven't gotten mine. It's neat.

 

My friend who still hasn't gotten hers got an email earlier this week stating the estimated ship date for her order was now June 22nd. I don't know what happened but obviously somebody screwed up big time.

 

I just tonight got an email saying mine has shipped.

I'm excited - I got the signed deluxe record and shirt combo. I'm happy to have it. But if I'm honest, the whole delay and lack of communication sort of sullies the whole thing. I won't be preordering anything from them again, that's for sure.
