The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 111

Finally

 

Fucking A

 

I’m so so so so so mad right now

 

holy shit

 

late to the party with the new version of the album, sounds so much better and really enjoying it now. If I'd have heard it earlier I would have gone to see them in Detroit, was there by chance on the night of the show there but decided to skip it for mexican (instead of mom's spaghetti) and saving 50 dollars

 

What

 

Saw them in Copenhagen when I wasn't that excited about the album and was a so-so show, think being more into it after hearing the better sounding update would have tilted me into going in Detroit

 

I love Brian going to bat for Coheed in a Chris Walla tweet.

 

Would kill for a Gaslight/Coheed tour

 

I love that so much

 

brian talking musicianship with chris walla is pretty funny though

edit: he is right

 

I know there’s crossover in their respective audiences but what a wild vibe shift that would be between their sets

 

Never seen this performance before but god it’s good.

 

Have there been any rumblings of new music this year from TGA?

 

Artists should simply make art they feel compelled to make, not even realistic that every audience member has to appreciate every single song. Even if you *tried* to crowd please you would fail that impossible goal

 

Nothing so far, I figure it'll mostly be a quiet year.

 

weird they aren't trying to tour

 

Did they not just tour for like 2 years?

For a band who previously went on hiatus due to immense pressures of being in a band, touring, and overall needing that break … feel like nothing about taking time off is weird.

 

I remain in the "let them do what they want" camp

 

Just checked setlist fm and they’ve played:

2022: 31 shows
2023: 45 shows
2024: 67 shows

Give or take 143 shows in 3 years plus releasing an album and then re-releasing it.

Let them chill for a little bit if they want to

 

surprise triple album first quarter 2025 or GTFO

 

I consider the History Books album/tour era a huge bonus from them and we were all spoiled to get it.

 

album is absolutely incredible

I find myself listening to the newer, rerelease version pretty much exclusively now, although I do still think the original album version of "Positive Charge" & "Spider Bites" will always have a special place in my heart

 

i think they should open for Sam Fender in the states (and europe)

 

they're doing to the kick off show on the flogging molly cruise, but not staying on... was expecting some dates around that.
