I saw them with the new singer about 3-4 years ago at Terminal 5. I was decked out in my grunge attire and of course brought some dope with me for good measure. Unfortunately two of the people I went with ruined the vibe since they work in the city at jobs that their daddies got for them and so they showed up to the concert in their suits straight from work, and instead of being on the ground floor they wanted to stay up on the balcony at one of the bars, going round for round with the drinks. I backed out after the second round as they were $40 each between the 4 of us, and my other friend who is more down to earth from them admitted to me that it was a mistake to go with them, and he would never do that again.
My favorite part of the night though was when we ditched them and 'Rooster' came on and I saw some dudes spark up a joint and asked to get down on a few hits since it would be my only time seeing AIC and how often do you get the chance to smoke up at a concert like that, so I got my two hits on top of my opiate buzz and it was amazing. That at least redeemed some of the things from my night. Seriously though, wearing a suit and paying for overpriced drinks up on the balcony at a venue like that goes against everything 'grunge' so I was happy to ditch those guys. On top of that I ended up emptying what little amount was left in my bank account on the tickets that I thought I was getting for free but my friend later told me his girl wanted what she paid for the tickets so that caught me off-guard. Then when we got to Penn Station my friend was wasted and went up to some homeless guy there and started telling him how pathetic he was so that got me a little ticked off since I knew that with my habit I could end up there too, and low and behold I did end up on the streets but at least not living in Penn Station at night.
Yeah I can't stand the new singer/new material. It's such a bummer.
