Bright Eyes Will NOT Be On Conan O'Brien On May 24th

[Jared Kaufman]

Due to an erroneous double booking by the producers at Conan O'Brien, Bright Eyes (http://www.saddle-creek.com) will not be performing on the show on May 24th as previously announced. Please tune in anyway and watch Billy Idol rock the cradle of love.

That's strange. Damn.

[aminorthreat55]

Good. Everyone should watch this, I don't care how good Bright Eyes is live, Billy Idol blows them out of the water. One of the top five best live shows I've ever seen, he's incredible. Of course its only a television performance, but still.

[leocorrea]

good. the performance on leno was fucking horrible
or whatever show he was on.

I enjoyed it! "when the president talks to god" is a good song but he could have probably picked a better tune to play live, I guess he just wanted to show his feelings about Bush on television,

The best anti-american/bush song however has to be Immortal Technique - The Cause of Death (http://www.lyrics.ly/lyrics.php/Immortal+Technique/Lyrics/Cause+of+Death). Absolute fucking genius and I'm not even into hip-hop.

Haha nice try. I don't like Sparta, I hate This Day Forward, and I've never seen The Mars Volta or ATDI live.

Green Day, RX Bandits, Foo Fighters, Billy Idol, New York Dolls

Oh yeah and the Violent Femmes get an honorable mention.

[Nightingale00]

this better get rescheduled or else!!

[DeadVictoryRose]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, conor gets fucking dropped from tv like a show on the upn. I just love this, and yes Billy Idol>Conor Oberst. Maybe Conor can wear his cowboy hat and spew his non-sensical bullshit at the elk's club that night, I hear it's turkey dinner.

Hahaha yes.

he probably would've done a digital ash song with the full band anyway, so it would've been nothing like the leno performance. it would have probably been an actual song, for starters, instead of a political rant. i'm guessing it would've been a digital ash song this time around or "i must belong somewhere" since i guess he just did a studio recording of that one.


i wonder why the letterman performance for monday was cancelled...

[normitron]

Scene points for the Rival Schools icon and the Talking Heads, because I'm listening to them right now and they kick ass.

How can you hate This Day Forward? They were incredible.

[ethicka]

it's alright. it's alright. bright eyes, you don't need that stupid cable anyway! we all love you!

[aminorthreat55]

How can you hate This Day Forward? They were incredible.
I'm just not a fan, I dunno. I guess 'hate' was a bit much, but yeah.

Well I could understand maybe anger toward In Response (even though it was still pretty good), but their old stuff was ridiculous.

Billy Idol rules :dweeba48:

Shit! One less chance for Conor to try to be Bob Dylan!

billy idol can suck my dick ;)

[GAD_guy]

am i the only one that finds it very odd that conan made this "error" and letterman was cancelled? it makes me pretty confident that something else could be going on. they saw the leno performance, didn't like what was said, and decided they wanted no part in it. come on people, learn to not take everything at face value.

no, i thought about that too. that was why i added the elipsis to my letterman thought in my comment, though that probably wasn't ver clear. i don't get it though, because bright eyes has been on letterman before.

[bottledregrets]

good, now he can't make a joke of himself.

Ha, what a clown... Billy Idol is a respectable musician, however, I don't think he even compares to Conor and Bright Eyes... I'm really bummed he won't be on Conan tonight

You're a fool. Maybe if you sat down and studied some music history you'd understand why Billy Idol is better and more important than Conor Oberst, but I don't think you have it in you. So instead I'll just take all the Generation X and Billy Idol records I can find and shove them up your ass until you get the point. Luckily for me, he's had a long career.

dude billy idol is a pop singer whose biggest hit focuses on the lyrics "you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round round round"
how the hell could he possibly be more important than conor oberst, who has almost singlehandedly revived his genre of music and and broken the barrier between independant labels and mainstream success.

i am tired of this way of thinking. just becuase it's older doesn't make it better or more important. older is better in alot of cases, but not all.

If you really knew Billy Idol's origins and beginnings you would understand why he is more important. Go read/buy this book:

I don't care who is more important at this point in their careers. I'd still rather see Conor, because his music means more to me. Period.

You, Sir, are my hero. I could not have worded this any better. Conor Oberst may be young, 25 to be exact, but his musical genius is light-years ahead of anyone now, or in recent years, in my opinion.

It's a shame this isn't going to happen. The non-stop rock of Conan and Conor was something I was looking forward to for a while now.

I don't think the Leno performance has much to do with this getting cancelled; Leno even announced it as a "protest song", so they knew what was going to happen. They might've gotten letters or something about it, but it wasn't like he did something that shocked the network.

YES...

[aminorthreat55]

YES...
Thanks for calling me an ignorant jackass and taking away scene points, oh yeah and next time please leave you name. I'm the ignorant jackass yet you don't know who Generation X is and why Billy Idol is incredibly important to music, more so than Conor Oberst is.

That's not even his song you fool.
