I know the riff for Infectious from Resolve started off from a Bad Astronaut song. I wasn't aware of others though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bagel Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 I think their second record, Houston We Have A Drinking Problem, is maybe some of the best material Joey has written/been a part of. These Days, Break Your Frame and If I Had A Son - massive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about his solo stuff?? I'm going through Stitch Puppy atm. Really?! That's so cool, I'm jealous. Whats an average Lagwagon show like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should expect their most famous songs + some unexpected stuffs here and there. Joey's voice improved a lot between 2012 and 2016, it sounded almost like the records, and it wasn't like that before. Now his voice isn't that strong, he's getting older, but their shows are always so much fun and Dave Raun is a beast. Side story: I got to interview Joey a few times when I was in high school and I stayed in touch with him and Dave over the years. Whenever they come back to Italy they always look for me to say hi and have a beer, they're so nice. The last time I saw them they played Let's Talk About Feelings front to back💣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Dave is insane behind the kit - it's also hilarious seeing the contrast between the Big Bitch and Little Joe on stage as well. That's so cool! You're part of the Wagon family. What are they like as people? To have a beer with The Caper is the dream 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he regrets singing so high when he was younger, I think the way he sings seems to be taking a toll on him, which is unfortunate, but it happens. I'm glad they're still making music, Hang is the best punk rock album of the last ten years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagwagon is probably the band I've seen the most live. pure gold. i've seen them many times as well, from the hoss days playing the side stage at SOMA with strung out, all the way to hang. probably my favorite was the record release party for the i think my older brother used to listen to lagwagon EP at (again) thee parkside in SF. that bar only holds one hundred people. and i was right on the rail in front of the caper. 5 hours ago, _Bagel said: Thrashed, Hoss, DP and Lets Talk About Feelings - that output is fucking mad, all gold. four solid records in a row. unassailable legacy. maybe we need a separate lagwagon appreciation thread? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things I would do if I had a time machine is go back to see them with Derrick Plourde on the drums (R.I.P.). Dave did you ever get to see them with Derrick?

_Bagel Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 @Elisa and @daveyjones interviewing, drinking and smoking with The Caper - y'all are cool, those little tidbits were amazing to hear. I love the fact that Lagwagon has temporarily hijacked this thread, Davey I think an appreciation thread is a great idea. I think I'm yet to start a thread, so maybe now is the time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
