Terminal 5 SUCKS, so I ain't going even if this is for charity.

Ohhh my boys my boys why oh why Interminable 5.
I understand its for a good cause but cmon dudes....not that shithole and for 75 bucks a ticket.

Linky no worky

75 bucks? Terminal 5? No thanks. I'd like to see the Beastie Boys, but honestly I'd rather see them at MSG or something.

Are these tix tax deductible?

Anyone know the presale passcode?

Having seen them this summer at summerstage and hammerstein is making this show a no nothing yawn event. Not gonna do it.

does anyone have the presale password tomorrow?

thanks

One day, they'll finally go away. Unfortunately, that day has not yet arrived.

I swear to God, enough with the "Terminal 5 SUCKS!" bullshit. The point has been made: cool kids don't like the fucking venue. Enough.

no but really, crap venue or not... anyone have the presale password?

pre sale code is

75 bucks hahahah

um bonnaroo lineup was announced. bv you should get on that.

or you can just leave your "meh, weak lineup" comment here.

Here I am going to say it. I like Terminal 5. I have been to dozens of NYC venues and it really isn't so bad. The site lines on the floor are decent. Sound wasn't bad either. I give it a 8 out of 10.

Craig,
Here I am going to say it. You either work for or are close to people at Bowery Presents or you are blind and deaf.

I'm going to say it anonymous. You are either a stuck up indie kid or have only been to two venues Roseland and Terminal 5. I used to work in the concert industry 1998-2001 and have seen my fair share of venues. Why didn't you like terminal 5...oh maybe you got there to late and were stuck in the back by the bar. Wahwah...

all of the concert venues that i have been to are cooler than the venues you have been to.

Even if I have been to some of the venues that you have been to, Anon. 9:19 AM?

all of the concert venues that i have been to are cooler than the venues you have been to (except for any that overlap...in which case we were both cool...but only for that night).

Dear Craig, I'm not a "stuck-up indie kid." I'm 42 and have been to and/or played at pretty much every music venue this city has seen since I was 18. Terminal 5 sucks. You sound like your fucking paycheck depends on T5's success.

to anon 9:19 - you just posted on a blog comments section, which automatically makes you not cool.

Presale Code? - Anyone

all of the blog sites that i read and post on are cooler than the sites you read and post on.

I hear ya....hunting for the pre-sale code too! No luck yet, though.

What time is Daft Punk announcing the pre-sale code, and then commenting on how shitty Terminal 5 is by performing their new single w/ Kanye West, "Bigger, Shittier, Douchier Venue"?

what time is Daft Punk announcing the pre-sale code, commenting on how shitty Terminal 5 is and lamenting the days of playing great NYC venues before they were all closed down by the corporations and rising rents and before they were filled with hipsters?

bababooie! bababooie!

Mid Fingg...I have nothing to gain by liking Terminal 5. I am just tired of people whinning about Terminal 5. Having lived in Central PA for 4 years I know what a treat it is to have bands you like come to your town. Even if the venue is less than desireable. Just go to the show and enjoy the band a quit whinning. Terminal 5 is bring good bands and it is a way better venue than Roseland which is a comparable size. To me that makes Terminal 5 good. Not every venue will be like Bowery Ballroom. Terminal 5 is not even in my top 10 favorite NY venues but if a good band is coming I am going. If you don't like the site lines get there earlier. If you don't like the sound stand near the soundboard.

Oh man, tickets are actually $100... that is if we had a presale pw... very much reconsidering....

a password is needed and it is $100.

PRESALE PASSCODE ANYONE?? enough fights on venues-- if you're a real music fan you go where they go...

PRESALE PASSCODE PLEEEEEEEASE

the password is MUSICHASPOWER and tix are $100

$111.20 after all the fees

password is

musichaspower

WRONG on the english and WRONG on the other.

IDIOT

Wow you are pretty immature...and lame. Stay home.

Not one person on this discuss has given a reason why Terminal 5 sucks. Just saying it sucks proves nothing.

Have a nice day.

Terminal 5 is aight. There is some room for improvement but I'll take it.

Craig there a lot of jerks on this board just move on.

I enjoyed Terminal 5. Easy to get a drink. Sound was good when I was there for a show awhile back. I am going to go back soon! Lots of spoiled folks on this board!

I went to Terminal 5 and it is groovy! Hope New Kids On The Block play a reunion show there!

when did this site become the homepage for angry teeny commenters?

whats next, everybody providing lists of the shows they attended last year and the types/amounts of drugs/booze imbibed at said shows?

oh, and by the way, my dad could kick your dad's ass

I love Terminal 5 so much that I gave it my virginity!

Here's the deal...if you don't like seeing Beastie Boys at an intimate venue and paying $100 a ticket (for a good cause mind you), then please stay at home and finger-f$ck yourself with your iPod.

well put doodoo. you people love to hate. whats wrong with T5? if you have to watch the show from the floor, than thats your fault for being a minion without VIP access.

are the people that complain about T5 the same people who buy tix to roseland shows for years?
in no other country someone would pay to see a show at roseland, a joke of a venue.

Why is it immature to point out that you are a fucking idiot who does not know english?? That is what is pretty lame dude.

And many people have given reasons why Interminable 5 sucks. Maybe if you had a better grasp of english you would understand. Again, the sightlines are awful. The sound is garbage. The place is an echo chamber that was not built to be a concert hall. Getting a drink is a fucking hassle. I could go on but there are 3 reasons.

"Here's the deal...if you don't like seeing Beastie Boys at an intimate venue"

No one in their right mind would call Interminable 5 an intimate venue. Mercury Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, even Webster Hall are intimate venues you jackass.

Ok..So I made a typo. Still doesn't make you Einstein. First of all there are at least 6 bars at the venue. Easiest place to get a drink. 2nd use a q-tip and clean out your ears. 3rd stop looking at a computer screen all day and get your eyes checked. Should I go on?

Please go on as to why Terminal 5 sucks. Many shows sold out there and will continue to sell out without you there. Obviously you and your 10 friends who complain here all the time don't need to attend

Stay home you will not be missed. I for one am happy new venues in NYC are opening.

Anon 4:50 sounds like a hipster douch!

The Terminal 5 sucks chants are as lame as the Daft Punk comments.

HAHA WOW YOU GUYS ARE ALL FUCKING LOSERS... TRULY LAUGHABLE

Craig, nice try fuckwad but that was not a typo that you made. That was just a sign of stupidity. I may not be Einstein but i am sure as shit smarter than you.
But just to reply to some of the nonsense because you really are starting to sound like a Bowery Presents employee which i suspect you are. It can have 10000 bars in the place. If you cannot access them comfortably then who cares. If they are understaffed then what is the point. And i would say many people would challenge you on the statement that it is the easiest place to drink. The comment about using a q-tip to clean out my ears shows you really have zero clue what makes a good sounding venue. For example why don't you go look at the comments from the Mars Volta show on here and see how many people were pissed because the place completely swallowed up the acoustics of that band. Finally my eyes are fine. Again, many people have stated that unless you are up close the sightlines are terrible and this has nothing to do with a person's eyesight.
And i loved that last comment about how the place sells out all the time as that being a show of support for how good the venue is. You can't be serious with that bullshit right? Not to get too deep into how dumb that comment is but as an example let's take a movie like the recently opened Meet the Spartans. Now that is a dumb fucking piece of shit movie but it made millions and millions of dollars. So now is it an amazing piece of art? Just because people still go to Interminable 5 does not make the place a great concert venue. It just makes it clear that people want to see the bands they love and will suffer through to do it. Many more people then 10 have complained about the venue. Many of their shows took a while to sell out and were bullshit sell outs anyway.

Dude, you really are a fucking moron.

Man, you should be a stand up comic! What a moron? BWAHAHA! You still haven't added any new reasons why Terminal 5 sucks. Thanks for proving my point. :)

Craig
Good retort. First you say no one gives any reasons and now it is no one has added any new reasons. The only point that has been proven is that you are a first class shithead.
But i invite you to go over to the Cat Power tour thread. I did not go to the show but from the initial posters who did it seemed as if they had major problems with Interminable 5 last night as well. Why don't you go over there and tell them how they are all wrong.

Every venue has an off night. I have seen bad sounding shows at Bowery and Mercury Lounge..what's your point? Some bands don't fit specific venues.

Ahhahaha Mr Bowery Presents Craig. This is becoming laughable at best. Now it is just an off night huh. Seems to me, Interminable 5 is having a ton of off nights. You fucking joke. Go Away.

Oh Im exposed I really work for Bowery Persents. Shame on me...I'm so embarrased! I can't believe I like Terminal 5 I must be a loser. I and my fellow losers will enjoy our shows on our own.
Thank you for your intelligent dialog and discussion.

^^^^ Exposed as a total moron for sure

terminal 5's location sucks.

B'boys are old and gray.

I was at that Cat Power show mentioned above. Anyone who defends that place is insane. I've never been to a venue w/ worse accoustics or a muddier sound system. The sight lines aren't great either. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but evn Roseland is better than that place. I will never go back.

The only complaint is about the sound for Cat Power? That's not the venue's fault. That is the band sound guy's fault.
Understaffed bar? I had no trouble getting drinks at any of the 3 shows i have been to at Terminal 5.

Syd,
Get a clue, seriously.

BEASTIE BOYS' THE MIX-UP WINS GRAMMY FOR BEST POP INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM

Beastie Boys schooled Chris Botti, Dave Koz, Spyro Gyra and Kirk Whalum and took home the Best Pop Instrumental Album Grammy at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Mix-Up is the band's first instrumental Grammy and third Grammy overall, the previous two wins being in the Best Rap and Best Alternative categories for 1998's Hello Nasty.

Beastie Boys are currently in the studio but will be taking a break from their recording schedule to play three shows this spring:

03/04/08 - Terminal 5 - New York, NY
* Special benefit for the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function (SOLD OUT)

03/07/08 - Big Cypress Indian Reservation - Clewiston, FL
* Langerado Music Festival

03/08/08 - Centro Dinamico Pegaso - Mexico City, MX
* Beat Soundfest

Oh what a waste of my time.....if not my cash for a good cause. Term 5 continues to suck ass....but never thought the Beastie Boys would too.

Not only did I drop $113 for pre-sale tickets, including Ticketbastard charges, but I got to experience one of my all time favorite bands showing that they could really give a shit about the show.

I was also disappointed by the crowd. B-Boys in their home town and all you could muster up is a single weak ass "yeah" when they ask if Manhattan's in the house...A complete disappointment the whole way around. Suppose I should sleep better knowing the money is supposed to go to a good cause instead of the pockets of all the powers that be….but I assume 90% is sucked up by those powers anyway.

Oh yeah, how about Moby learns that he’s a man and hosts a concert as though he’s a famous artist who’s played to thousands of people countless times instead of a complete scared geek?!

^^^^it was not like you and everyone else were warned that this show was gonna suck

i actually thought the show was great. however, their performance of "sabotage" at the end was probably one of the worst live performances i have ever seen.

i thought the show was alright. I've seen them four times now and nothing could really top last summers shows (central park and hammerstien) but it was certainly better then they were at Field Day. They did have a bunch of technical difficulties at first but once they got a groove going, i thought it was alright. Both their rapping and instrumentals were solid and i was definitely glad to check it out. They are not the best live band out there but they one of my favorite bands of all time so i am glad anytime i see them.

I would bash T-5 but what can i say that hasn't already been said a million times. Oh well, just one of those evils you have to deal with i suppose.

yeah, my entire night was also ruined by the fact that the people who live in manhattan didn't scream louder when asked to by the bboys. i mean, can you believe that?! i was grooving along till that happened...then it all fell apart and the rest of the show sucked.

i could only imagine what it must have been like for the brooklyn and jersey folks who were able to muster much louder screams...the show they saw must have been sooo much better.

oh well.

"I would bash T-5 but what can i say that hasn't already been said a million times. Oh well, just one of those evils you have to deal with i suppose."

What was there to bash? I thought Terminal 5 was fine for a larger venue. they have to have security guards, and it's crowded... but how is that different from any other place of it's size?

"yeah, my entire night was also ruined by the fact that the people who live in manhattan didn't scream louder when asked to by the bboys. i mean, can you believe that?!"

Do you think that might be because the show was attended by predominantly bridge and tunnel douche bags? I felt like I was at a frat party in Jersey.

"i could only imagine what it must have been like for the brooklyn and jersey folks who were able to muster much louder screams"

Yeah, but how many of the "Brooklyn folk" are really from Brooklyn? Almost everyone that I meet that lives in Brooklyn just moved there. If you moved here during the Giuliani/Bloomberg administration, you are NOT a Brooklynite.

T5 IS NICE HOWEVER ITS IN N ISOLATED AREA, THE STAFF IS NICE SECURITY IS TIGHT

TERMINAL 5 SUCKS
