Why?
Because it has turned into ten pages of bitching about what constitutes a jamband and not the subject of the thread. I keep coming back hoping to see some dumbass fb posts and instead it's a bunch of arguing.

I heard Green Day was gonna throw down some jams with Trey and Mike somewhere on the second leg of the tour since they are such a profound influence in the jam band scene.
That MUST be the big show you're talking about

Couple things: I don't play in a cover band.
Mogwai isn't a jam band. They are post rock. If people don't understand the difference I'll try to explain it.
Here's what I think the difference is between MOST post-rock and jam bands: composition vs. improvisation.
Jam bands seem to be more about getting loose and noodling around, whereas post-rock, even at its most chaotic and disorderly, still feels very structured. (Which I think is ultimately why I prefer it.)
Post rocks roots are in punk rock and ultimately indie rock. Sonic youth inspired a shite ton of bands with their music.
Ambient noise experimental bands are not "jam bands".
Also, one of my favorite things about post-rock bands is their attention to tone and sound, which I don't think you would find in a lot of jam bands (in fact I kind of associate them with horrible guitar tones).

Labels are dumb.
Who cares what you call it, if you like it cool. If you dont, cool.
What you call it makes no difference, its ALL music.

Exactly. A post rock jam band. I'm glad you agree. There are electronic, metal, folk, post rock, country, blues, psychedelic rock and many other genres that feature extended musical improvisation ("jams"). Both post rock and jam band are genres attributed to Mogwai. They are awesome, BTW.

This one time Justin Beiber's band stretched one of his songs out an extra 15 seconds.
Clearly a jam band.

You'll go. After my first show, I caught the next 12 on a whim.

I'm going to STL as well. Probably solo so that should be interesting.

Post rock. It's been explained many times.
Sorry if you and blue don't comprehend.
