LUUUU DAAAAA
cheifin on that blueberry yum-yum
havnt heard much from these guys but plan to check it at rothbury
^^^ dude you want to hear some sick shit, get "DO YOU WANT MORE"
the roots are fuckin BAAAALLLLS!
do you want more is by far their best shiet.
Treetophigh, unless you have some info that none of us have, your gonna have a hard time seeing these guys at Rothbury, because they are not scheduled to play. Believe me, I wish they were. But they will be kickin'ass on 4/20 in DC for Free son. With Umphreys McFree!
even though they were about a half hour late and even eneded their set about 15 min. early, i loved thier set at Langerado. not a huge hip hop fan, i dig J5 and a few others but they kill it too man. the best part was in the middle of the set they jsut had Questlove, Cspt. Kirk and Tuba Gooding Jr. play a rewriten verion of the "Star Spangeld Banner", a Dylan song which the name of is illuding me at the moment, and a sick instrumental version of Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun", completely unexpected but probaly one of my top 3 highlights from Langerado.
Masters of War is the Dylan song phreak is trying to think of.
last time I saw The Roots was Crystalballroom Portland Or. it was insanely good!! Soon after Jamse Brown passed and they did a tribute that blew my mind!!! Besides that they always find a way to be able to hang out with fans to burn it down after shows gotta love local gardeners
Roots played a hell of a version of masters of war at roo 07. Where are the pictures of Toots though? This show had Luda The Roots and Toots and the Maytals on the bill. Makes me wish I hadn't left Northeastern now!
"I tell you one lesson I learned
If you want to be something in life
You ain't gonna get it unless
You give a little bit of sacrifice
Ooohh, sometimes before you smile you got to cry
You need a heart that's filled with music
If you use it you can fly
If you want to be high"
Such wise words from Black Thought. I'm looking forward to seeing them this summer in Omaha.
The Roots were super bad on the Colbert Report the other night, down to the guitarist smashing his instrument at the end of the National Anthem. Nice pics, especially fun to see backstage shots. Luda looks, as always, like he's enjoying life WAY more than the rest of us fools...
I was at this show and Toots actually opened up as well. The sound guy really sucked, but even still, the Roots were pretty nasty. I'm not sure if they do this every time, but they played like a 20 minute montage of old school rap songs and it was sick. Also, we all know that ?uestlove is nasty, but their guitar player can rip too. I dunno about their new bass player tho.
The roots in pittsburgh last nite was sick!!!!!!the dylan cover was awesome......Mad love!!!!
i was there too, great roots performance, though it was shorter than i would have liked. i think the bass solo would have been a LOT better in a different venue, the soundguy definitely sucked. tuba gooding jr. was a beast though on the sousaphone.
why no pics of toots? funky kingston was amazing
On some new shit " get busy" =straight fire
peaton: yeah the montage of covers is called "Hip-Hop 101"... they do it at all their shows
