GG: Even if you have never heard Third Eye Blind before seeing them live, you could tell they have changed significantly over the past couple of decades, because you hear songs with a rap-rock influence to them, then you hear newer songs with more of a Muse or Coldplay edge to them. GG: Yeah, it didn’t feel like a co-headline tour, but it seemed advertised as such.ĬN: It did, because it was called the “Summer Gods Tour.” And you know what, I didn’t actually know which band would play first.

Plus, Jimmy Eat World played for about an hour, and Third Eye Blind played for, I think, an hour and a half? If the lights are stealing the show from the artist, the artist is not doing a good job. GG: I also think, though, that the artist is supposed to have some synergy with lights of that sort. I think Jimmy Eat World would blow them out of the water. I would challenge (Third Eye Blind) to strip down to just acoustics, and let’s see how they’d do. The production value is so much higher when you’re a headlining band, and that is such as disservice (to Jimmy Eat World). GG: I also feel like (Jimmy Eat World was) given a bad hand, because Third Eye Blind had a way, way more extravagant production.ĬN: (Excitedly) Yes.

To me, Jimmy Eat World is so much more endearing, and they are so much more infectious. GG: Yeah, I think Jimmy Eat World could have potentially owned it (as a headliner).ĬN: They have such an extensive catalog that they could have played all night. GG: You know what I think they should have done - when Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age went on tour, they just did a coin toss to see who headlined and who opened.ĬN: They totally should have done that. At least at the Dallas show, people were more excited to see Third Eye Blind, and it felt more like Jimmy Eat World was opening for them. I feel like the intention was for this to be a co-headline tour, but I think you’re right. But what do you think about the pairing of them, though? Was this a co-headline tour, or was Jimmy Eat World an opener?ĬN: That’s a good question. On a songwriting level, I would argue that Jimmy Eat World is just better. I feel like more people were there when Third Eye Blind came on, and that might explain why it was more infectious. You saw when Ra Ra Riot opened, there was nobody there. I think I would attribute that energy more to the culture of getting to shows late. They had this infectious energy to them.ĬN: Third Eye Blind was definitely awesome. They were very interactive with the crowd. GG: And I guess it’s the opener’s job to set the bar really low for the headliner, but I felt like they did that job too well. I still loved it, and that’s what’s so great about live music – anything can happen. But I’ll just attribute that to them getting started. We all know that song word-for-word, and so even the smallest mistake is going to stick out like a sore thumb. They started with “Pain,” and to me, it was very off. Tickets go on sale on May 21 at SM Ticket Outlets (call 470-2222) or online.GG: I guess where we disagree is that - and I like their music - but I thought they were boring, at least on a stage-presence level.ĬN: I felt like maybe on the first three or four songs, they were just getting into it.
