O.A.R. Online Concert

seriously? that is possibly the lamest digital idea ive ever heard-- digital a step too far. come on, animated icons?

While I do hate the whole "My band is better than your band" comment,

I feel like someone had to mention what a total joke this band is.

They have always been terrible.

They always will be terrible.

Agreeing to do something this stupid,

is just plain hilarious.

Fail.

What about the "Go eat dinner while I rest up for the headliner" icon?

ya this band was cool for about a month when i was in grade school. don't they sing a song about some gay poker player or somethin....pretty lame-o

wow.. awesome.. thanks jambase... now can you tell me what Justin Timerlake and Britney are up to?

Daniel, I couldn't agree more. This band has never rocked and never will rock, unless you're 18 at a frat party and like licking tequila off some guy's nipple while playing poker and listening to the "best song you've ever heard about poker." What a joke!

Where can I hide to get away from these Overly Annoying Rugmunchers?

Rothbury Schedule is up and running

It's great to see the Jambase Community Guidelines are still being followed. thanks CoolMike for the headsup about rothbury. Kudos brother.

I think my head would explode... Black Keys and MMW at the same time?!?

OAR sucks, Black keys and MMW at the same time isn't to bad if you see who you get to skip on the main stage. I am def. going to pick the black keys though. SO NASTY!

actually these guys werent that bad in like 99-01. their sax player rips! they jammed alot more back then too. they totally sold out though. i do dig there reggaeish stylee the had

"These animated icons will appear on giant screens in front of O.A.R. while they perform."

HAHAHAAA! That would be worth seeing I think. Have a camera that shows whats on this screen and it will be f*cking hilarious!!

IT WAS A CRAZY GAME OF POKER! I LOST IT ALL! best...song...EVER

In 2003 I saw these guys rip it up in front of maybe 250+ fans in venue parking lot in a sense. Then they became road warriors with relatively low amounts of mainstream distribution. Three years later, they sold out MSG TWICE. Yeah maybe they did sell out a little bit but essentially what band has never sold out in one way or another? I am confused by the fact that some people on this site bitch about this band. It's music folks and you should be appreciative towards a band that accomplished and will continue to accomplish what they have set out to do. Sorry your precious Tea Leaf Green, Railroad Earth or whatever tube ripping burn out band could never say they grew exponentially. You are only ourselves if you believe that certain bands never want to make it and get big. Say whatever about these guy's concerts, least the majority of the crowd gets some nice tail at the end of the night after listening to a group of guys that actually have clarity and focus. Not some drug induced experience that 'takes you to another level'.

Enjoy community college gents...the hippies will always lose.

I applaud the effort, TripleoG, but no, O.A.R. fucking sucks. Back to the drawing board.

I agree with TripleoG. O.A.R. is not as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

I don't go to a community college, and O.A.R. sucks. I tried to see them last year and left after a few songs. Vocals-awful, instrumentals-average at best, lyrics-bad. They really are as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

Any musician who says they aren't in it for the money is a liar. How can you call someone a sell-out because they have found a way to make money in their trade/job/hobby. Does that mean Phish sold out too? How about the dead? They made shitloads of $$$. The top grossing touring act of all time, if I'm not mistaken. How many times did they sell out the Garden? I dont like OAR, so I dont see OAR. (Rugmunchers - hilarious) You know all these bands are doing is battling each other for our disposable income. Soon enough we will all be paying $6 for gas and we wont have any money to do other things, like see shows, pay mortgages, and get fat. Three things we americans cant live without......

If you looked up the word "tools" in the dictionary, there would be a picture of the people in the audience at an O.A.R. show.

^rofl

Got to love the Jamband Community. Always so inclusive and open minded. OAR kicks ass. Fuck all u haters.

OAR= garbage...

It's not close-minded to say a band is terrible. If we weren't allowed to perceive which music sucked ass (i.e. O.A.R.), how would we able to know what good music was? Bad music is bad music, dude. Plain and simple.

Bad music??? then why is o.a.r. 2006 sold out MSG show the most downloaded item on archive.org??? yeah pretty horrific i guess

Bro.a.r. was at Summer Camp this year. As well as G. Love. Back to Back.

I cried a little.

Can anyone name one jamband that is less talented than O.A.R.?

unfortunately, some website has a link that opens up and downloads that MSG show from archive.org everytime someone visits said website. That is why they have an extremely large number of downloads for that show. There is no way that show has been downloaded by almost three million people, and the number 2 download has only 350,000 hits. Why do people get so upset when someone trashes their favorite band? Do you get this rabid if someone disses your favorite sports team? OAR blows. Get over it. Or get used to it.

i think this is a cool idea. i have been streaming live shows off iclips for a couple months and it is a lot of fun and a hell of a lot cheaper than going to every show i want to. OAR might not be the headiest band out there but their songs are poppie and you can bounce your head and move your feet to a lot of them. i will definitely watch this and drunkenly sing along to some cheesy songs that i appreciate for what they are.

the digital icons being played back to them is a little weird though

peace!
