7 comments so far (post your own)Saw these guys at Bonnaroo! Was right down front for their set. Boys from Kentucky played before a massive crowd at Which Stage. Lead singer is a freak! Must use 5,000 calories at set. It was fairly hot, around 430 pm, and he comes out in some kind of gold lame top that was probably used in a Star Trek show. Danced & strutted for 3/4 hour in that before ditching it. Had multiple technical difficulties during show that caused them not to be able to play their last song (which I'm sure was 'Always Something', as that was the only hit they hadn't played). Mr. Schultz commented during one of their holdups for the technical issues 'Well, I'm going to fire my entire crew after this set, so I got that going for me'. He crowd surfed multiple times while singing a song and stood on people's shoulders & belted out his hits. After one crowd surfing escapade, he remarked 'for future reference, I don't keep my wallet in my crotch'. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 06/19/2014 @ 08:17am |

Two Grammy's for "Rock album of the year", plus Melophobia which has to be their greatest album to date. Posted by Daniel Delves on Wednesday, 10/27/2021 @ 13:49pm |
as of right now, with their releases they are definitely on the radar for the hall of fame Posted by Konrad on Thursday, 11/25/2021 @ 12:48pm |
Having 10 Alternative #1s is the Rock Hall version of 3000 base hits. Posted by Dr. W on Sunday, 01/9/2022 @ 19:07pm |
it's a no brainer they belong in the hof Posted by avery on Thursday, 06/16/2022 @ 15:49pm |
Yes, probably. Caveats… we need to run out of electable mtv stars and also get some more alternative friendly electors. Of the alternative bands for the last 20 years or so, Cage is in the mix for sure…2 Grammies for BEST ROCK ALBUM doesn't hurt your chances either. Posted by Will K on Saturday, 04/29/2023 @ 13:18pm |
