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.

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.
