...Trail Of Dead Inside The Rockers Studio, Hospital

Seems like the ...AYWKUBTTOD gang is having a rough couple of weeks, don't it? While we like their new record So Divided (the first few tracks in particular), not everyone's on board. Sure, it's getting mixed reviews, but don't beat youselves up about it guys! Seriously, anyone got the back story there? WTF?

P4K writes that guitarist Kevin Allen was collapsing all over the stage during Trail Of Dead's 11/18 show in St. Petersburg, apparently irking Conrad to the point that he announced the next song would be their last, smashed his guitar (OMG!), and registered "one helluva running shove" on the ailing Allen. You can sorta see said shove on this video, but go here for better footage of the Kevin collapse.

After reading Conrad's Rockers Studio responses, we're thinking maybe just before collapsing Kevin said that he enjoyed masturbating while watching televised sports. Come on, it's possible! That would seriously piss off Keely.

I sold my tickets to the Austin and Dallas shows, I've seen them enough in the past, It doesn't really bother me that this looks like it might be their last tour. What a shitty way to go out though.

you'd think by now they'd learn when a band mate may need rehab

When it's also a Blood Brothers show... Yes. People still go.

To each their own, I guess. Blood Brothers were definitely my least favourite of the 4 bands on the tour.

Uh, yeah, people still go to their shows and Les Savy Fav shows and Radiohead shows... for a reason (they're all terrific live bands). These bands are still better than 99% of the other boring crap bands out there that write one good song over the five years preceeding their one album that receveives a 6.8 on PF. Last time I checked (3 weeks ago), TOD played 2 shows at IP -- that's 3K people -- or about 2500 more than Joanna Newsome could pull - whatever! Modest Mouse (and like 'em) two nights later was not even close - no fucking contest. Oh, and screw Blood Brothers - they blow ass.
