i'm pretty much referring to any LA crowd, ESPECIALLY when it comes to bigger festival type shows like Acoustic X-Mas. The crowds in the LA club scene are pretty lame too. We have like 20 shows every night in the LA/OC area, we're so spoiled when it comes to shows. because of that, the crowds are very fickle, and many of the people are at shows just because it's the "cool thing" to do. I was at the LA and OC shows , and they were really great (well, the LA crowd was OKAY). But i also went to the Tempe, AZ one, and that crowd went INSANE! you need to go to a show at a place where there isn't much going on, like arizona, and you'll definitely see the difference in crowd reaction. they appreciate shows out there a lot more, trust me on this one.
and kroq is really lame, even if they are the biggest radio station in the country. they put on some good shows here and there, but play a lot of crappy music. How popular you are doesn't necessarily measure how GOOD you are. Remember that
