I saw that Black Mountain was supposed to open for Coldplay...

 

But I just went to the show in Hartford. Coldplay was amazing, but whoever opened (wasn't sure if it was Black Mountain, I could barely hear the artist anyways) was completely awful. It was just a guy singing and playing an acoustic guitar and he was worse than a bar or lounge singer. Was wondering if anyone knew more about that who went to Hartford, and who opened for the Canadian shows (and who's opening for future shows).

its also Black Mountain. i didnt really like them either

haha, I was at that show too...and he freaking sucked. I thought he was an opener for black mountain.....rofl

 

but anyways, the show itself was so freakign sweet :)

I saw Black Mountain in Montreal, and didn't like them at all :( Although the drummer was good!!!! :cool:

omg it was awful.f.. maybe it was a side project of Black Mountain because if u go their website (http://www.Blackmoutainarmy.com) it sort of shows three bands that some of the memebers participate in: Black Moutain, Pink Moutain Drops,& JERK W/ A BOMB. Now if u click the photo section "Pink Moutain Drops" show a picture of one man, so that's who i believe it was- Pink Moutain Drops. and yeah he was awful LOLFR

I saw Black Mountain in Montreal' date=' and didn't like them at all :( Although the drummer was good!!!! :cool:[/quote']haha...you had a drummer? We had a wierd guy with a tambourine come out for one song....oh well

Black Mountain was rubbish! i saw them at the Toronto show!

i was so glad when their set was over! LOL!

I loved the tambourine guy! He looked like he had nothing to live for and didn't believe in anything, but just kept on playing that tambourine.

 

...

 

The songs were all pretty terrible though. One line was, "wedding bells and booty calls". I wish I could have seen Rilo Kiley, she's decent.

i had no idea what the heck was going on during the opening set...

 

sad...

[/quote']haha...he actually stood in the aisle next to us when Coldplay was on. Too bad he didn't stay...I wanted to know how he landed a job like that haha

undefinedwhere were you sitting? I assume you must have been someplace up front for that guy to have been standing near you. I was in section 200 row S, maybe you were someplace near me. I thought the show was so amazing from where I sat, but honestly, I think the show was amazing from everywhere. I loved the show so much that I'm going to try to get lawn seats for another show :D

In Defense of Black Mountain...

 

For everyone who saw "Black Mountain" in Hartford, the guy that played was actually just the bass player. The rest of the band had a bit of trouble getting through immigration, so you didn't actually get to hear Black Mountain, who are on the tour at the personal request of Coldplay.

I thought Black Mountian was kinda cool. Sort of a Led Zep/Cowboy Junkies thing going on. Ash opened a few years ago for them and they were good too.
