opeths the only good one (that i have heard)

why would opeth sign with all of these bands....? genre isnt even close

__________________

hmm, Opeth doesn't fit on there at all. Poison the Well would be OK to see.

__________________

Thats right, why would Opeth join a well paid, provided, US tour when given the oportunity??
You fucking idiot.

__________________

plus bands rarly put tours together, record labels usually do

__________________

yeah no shit they did it for money ....look at the line up...does it make any sense????

__________________

Yeah, Sounds of the "Underground", hmm real underground. And you don't fucking bring metal with hardcore, you just fucking don't.

Exactly.

And dipshit, what does it matter if you mix bands at a festival? Thats what festivals are FOR. Nowhere does it say that metal and hardcore bands cannot play together at the same festival. Why? Because that would be gay.

if you don't like the line up, then stfu, and don't go.

Oh, and P.S.? It says Metal Blade is coordinating it. Considering they don't have any tour dates yet? I'm guessing that there are many more bands to come. Maybe, *gasp* some more in place so it doesn't ruin the kvlt-ness for you!

__________________

I don't want to pay festival prices just to see Opeth.

yea that always sucks, i had high hopes to see nile and king diamond but the only time i can its a festival date....

__________________

well listen up dipshit ...would it be ok if amon amarth played a tour with linkin park???? HELL NO!!! Festivals are supposed to be an event where you stay all day or night and listen to band after band....duh. so why would you mix two genres with two completly different styles of music??? its unlogical













. heh

__________________

id go see the show if amon and linkin park were playing, esp. if it was a festival, cus there would eb a very diverse group of bands, i like diversity.

__________________

stop bitching goddamnit

__________________

Usually they have different stages, and hence different bands playing at the same time. Obviously you're not going to like every band that plays, but you can usually keep yourself occupied by checking out the different stages...

Its actually verry logical, you just don't understand the logic. If they put metal bands and hardcore bands togeather in the tour then they can maximise attendace by capturing 2 audiences. It has to do with diversity, but more to do with getting as many people through the door as possible. If you don't like it, don't go.

__________________

There is more of a fucking gap between LP and Amon Amarth, ass. Harcore is a shitload closer than Alternative to metal.

And it seems like you are the only person who doesn't get it. Ozzfest always mixes hardcore and metal bands. But according to you and Silent, "you just don't do that."

Wrong. You do. Its been done. End of story. Like I said, you don't like it because "you just don't fucking do it," then don't go. And stfu about it.

And I doubt that the tickets will be even as much as Ozzfest. Although they won't be dirt cheap.

By the last show the only bands remaining will be Unearth, SYL, All That Remains, and The Red Chord

SYL is awesome live.. Devin shoul be a comedian.

__________________

NO

by far the worst band

Yes, it shall be quite a show. Gwar live is going to be a story for the ages, though. I've heard stage stories from Dave Brokie... Sick bastards...

The lineup should be fucking strange. And I'll warn everyone if you end up in a hardcore pit: keep your fists swinging or you are going to get punched in the face about 30 times.

And wtf is with everyone and SYL? Jesus Christ.

__________________

Ill be in the PIT, not punching the ground and doing Napolean Dynamite type karate moves. I always lvoe going to these shows and starting a pit and wrecking the like straightedge kids fun.

oh and SYL kicks ass thats why.

__________________

Never heard, hence the question mark.

And yes SYL kick major amounts of rectum.

What I've heard of SYL, I hated it.

And my ass will be in the pit during Norma Jean. You can be assured of that. \m/ Same for the Deicide/Immo/Skinless concert. I'll get in for Skinless, but that is IT.

__________________

I saw SYL last time they were down here, and would HIGHLY recomend anybody to go see them (provided you like their cds). Although Alien is a bit weird, they are still good!!

And how could you not want to go see clutch? I am ashamed for all of you, especially Nihilist.

i would pretty much go merely for opeth and SYL.

SYL? No thanks, what I've heard didn't do much for me. I wouldn't say there's a single band on the list that I really enjoy. Some are ok, but....... and many are SHIT.

__________________

Devin Townsend and SYL are overrated.

__________________

Indeed they are. To me, SYL sounds like a useless wall of noise.

I missed them last time they played near me. I'm not letting that happen again.

I'd go for:
Clutch
SYL
Opeth
High on Fire
Unearth
Norma Jean
I'm not too big on the last two bands' music, but they're pretty killer live.

I would go for

Opeth
Strapping young lad

thats all the rest lick..

Devin is a musical genius, Ive been a fan of him since his work with Vai, the DTB is also awesome. overrated?? Some people are overrated for a reason..

__________________

Just ignore Desection. As I said, when I saw SYL at the end of the tour for their last CD, they were fuckin awesome.

__________________

What a waste for opeth...they'll probably get like a 20 minute set...so like 2 songs...

yeah really what the fuck i wanna go to see opeth not some shitty bands

__________________

Dumbshits, they'll probably be HEADLINING.

I don't MIND, DTB, but SYL just fucking sucks. And I don't want to hear any of this "don't listen to Dissection" bullshit, because I haven't given anyone else shit about not liking Norma Jean and shit. Its my opinion, so shut the fuck up and deal with it.

No, I'm tired of this shit, BLS. I say one bad thing about a grind band, or one that you elitists are into, and I get flammed. You say a band I like sucks, and I'm supposed to take it?

No, fuck the lot of you.

__________________

It's BLS.. If he doesnt like something, then it automatically sucks and is the worst thing ever.. He's probably on to something though.

__________________

WAH WAH!

You just want attention, no one in this thread attacked you or your musical taste, get over it. You dont like SYL? Good for you, I could care less.

and fuck you CC

if it wasent for your bangin' bod id dump your ass.

[QUOTE=BeastOfCarrion]Just ignore Desection.QUOTE]

No, of course not, BLS. And it was an example. This kind of shit keeps happening.

__________________

he didnt attack you, it was more of him defending SYL. dont be a scrotum, theres nothing to get pissy about here.

wow, so Beast says "Ignore Dissection" OH NO!!! Its not like we dont already do that..

Back to the fucking tour
