I'm seeing Swans for the first time tonight, what should I expect?

Autism

a good night

Bring earplugs unless you want to lose your hearing for the next three days

>MUHH EARPLUGS OMFG ULL FUCK UP HEARING FOR ***LIFE***

every fucking time

neverending crescendos

post-rock with tribal ambient influence

Pretty fucking boring desu. It's certainly a massive sound and the long builds and Gira walking over to each bandmate as they snap-to and act like they weren't slacking off is cool for a few songs but it just got so boring after like 4 songs.

All of the songs they played were long trance interludes and then it gets LOUD and Gira does something like "IM CUMMMMMING IM CUMMMMMING IIMMMMMM CUMMMMMMMING" and then it gets quiet and starts again.

umad the cowboys lost texasboi?

Fucking intensity and perfection.
Bring earbuds.

I gotta rant.

I saw them in Seattle and, yeah, they were really good but it was a boring visual show and it seemed to have little to offer for the hour + set they played. No body knew what to do with their bodies, most people stood still, I undulated and vibed as best I could to a trance but the repetition was grating. There was a woman dancing like it was a EDM show which was obnoxious and there was a guy with a fresh bowlcut twitching and flinging his nine-inch-nails (the finger kind) to the sky like a doofus and his 6"4' friend getting mad about people stepping in front of his tall-ass.

It wasn't the multi-instrumental ensemble you've seen in those Pitchfork live videos, or on previous tours. It's drums, guitars, bass and the plucking sting thing. Underwhelming, underwhelming, underwhelming.

You have obviously never been to a show before.

Why do you say that? The SWANS is super loud thing is a little overblown. They're not that loud really.

How is it possible to be THIS fucking pleb? You go to a show for the music you fucking retards. Do you niggers even listen to Swans or did you go to the show for meme cred or something? Because if you do I REALLY want to know what you were expecting.

What do you mean? I talked about the music, and the music was very boring live. It's impressive, I'm not saying it is bad or anything but it was very very boring.

You have obviously never been to a show before.

Clearly!

Why do you listen to them if you find them boring? Pretty retarded if you ask me.

Trees is an awesome rock venue.

>the music was very boring live
I don't think they are boring. I like Swans. It was a lame live show.

Only plebs and children go to shows for anything other than the music. Which one are you?

You're not making much sense.

I honestly don't see how. If you don't find their music boring then there's nothing to find boring about their show.

You buy a CD for music you tard. Did you seriously pay $50 for something you could have gotten for $10 and listened to twice?

Not really. They might as well have been jamming, there was no discernible difference between the songs.

what the fuck did you want? wanted to dude to make balloon animals while playing.. ffs

It's buyer's remorse. Ignore it if you can.

An entertaining show? What else could I want?

Fucking what? Why do you keep digging this hole for yourself?

What hole? I didn't like the show, and no amount of "you retard!!!" on an anonymous imageboard is gonna change that fact. You're not doing anything here, I'm just describing the show that I saw and you're yelling at an user for his opinion.

For a second I thought the phrase "digging a hole for yourself" meant something. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm adding it to my filter now.

To see Swans

The difference between the sound you can get out of your own cd player or speakers or whatever is going to be significantly different than what can be produced live is obviously significantly different. Also there's the whole being there as they're producing it thing, fucking retard. Nice try, though. Also I've never payed more than 25 bucks for Swans tickets.

>filter
Triggered
Try actually listening to them sometime they're a great band.

Isn't the Swans sound 75% tape loops anyway? In this case it's simply a matter of whose audio setup is better. Protip: all those $25s could have added up to non-shit speakers.

to support a rapist

Okay so you're just a pleb.

>pleb
lmao kid, grow up already

>I have no legitimate rebuttal
Okay.

Oh, so pleb doesn't mean anything either? Great. There's another word I don't have to be seeing any longer.

>pleb

>says the one who literally used the word pleb

its not a meme my ears were ringing for a week
