“I’m a big nacho guy,” Fieri told me. “Who isn’t, right?”

FOTOBOM: TOOL, KILLING JOKE @ TD GARDEN
A bizarre clash of music fans took place this past summer, when the hotly anticipated, decade-plus return of Tool got Swifties all upset when Maynard and company’s Fear Inoculum banished Taylor Swift’s Lover from the top spot on Billboard after one short week, ...
FOTOBOM: RADIOHEAD @ TD GARDEN
Through no fault of their own, Radiohead has become an “important band.” The pedestal that fans put the band on reaches into the stratosphere, and their every move and each infrequent release is meticulously picked apart and closely observed. The amazing thing is that they routinely ...
FOTOBOM: U2 @ TD GARDEN
Boston’s always been a sort of Irish city, and no Irish band has been adopted like hometown heroes more so than U2. The quartet famously got an early gig at The Paradise, and decades later they still keep something in reserve when they hit town. Though they still continue to sell tickets ...
FOTOBOM: ARCADE FIRE @ TD GARDEN, 9/15
Strange as it may have seemed once, former indie rock darlings Arcade Fire have settled comfortably into the role of festival and arena headliners. Their shows behind 2013’s ambitious, danceable odyssey Reflektor proved what “Wake Up” had always suggested: that the band’s anthemic ...
FOTOBOM: ROGER WATERS @ TD GARDEN, 27SEP17
Roger Waters plays "Pigs" as a tribute to Trump and butthurt snowflakes scatter for the exits.

Some bands still have the draw. Whether or not many people have bought copies of their last few records, Red Hot Chili Peppers still managed to bang out the TD Garden on back-to-back nights, a feat that’s pretty impressive in 2017. Speaking of new records, this tour was in support of their ...
FOTOBOM: THE WHO, TAL WILKENFELD @ TD GARDEN, 3/6
The passion and fury that catapulted The Who to controversy and stardom still burned fiercely within Daltrey and Townshend as the band celebrated 50 years at TD Garden.
