Saw black midi yesterday night. It was insane, I absolutely recommend it.
Saw black midi yesterday night. It was insane, I absolutely recommend it.
Just went to Halestorm and Godsmack, both bands I saw at Rock USA in 2017.
My dates co-workers date asks me "is that a skinny puppy shirt"?
Why yes, yes it is, that's how I roll.
I would love to see them or Depeche Mode, two of the only bands I've never seen that are still active.
But anyways, I only have Ghost in October 3rd and Slayer/Primus/OMFMG MINISTRY/Phil-tera in November, both here in Sioux Falls.
I recently saw Iron Maiden for my second time (which was truly awesome) in St. Paul, MN. Last week I saw Ghost for my fourth time in Portland, OR (another truly amazing spectacle of a show, go if you get the chance!) and Hot Chip (on the rail) in Seattle, WA. I'll be seeing Ghost for the fifth time in Minneapolis next Saturday, then Tool & Killing Joke in Chicago on November 3, and I also got tickets to the Hella Mega tour with Green Day and Weezer next year (don't give a shit about Fall Out Boy). It's weird to only have three shows on the horizon!
I just got tickets to a December Angel Olsen concert after hearing her new songs. Wow what a leap. I enjoyed her ealier works, but never felt compelled to buy her album: it was good singer-songwriter stuff. But, damn, judging by "All Mirrors," she's reaching for a new epic sound. I cannot wait to hear her perform live!
Just saw Explosions in the Sky the other night ago in Detroit, who were amazing. The opening act was FACS out of Chicago, a really nice post-punk/noise rock band. I'll have to check their stuff out more.
I'm going to the Thrice/Refused co-headline tour on November 5th in Hamburg. It' sold out since Friday, which annoys me a little bit, since the venue is usually really stuffed when that's the case and it can get quite uncomfortable.
But good for the bands. I've seen Dennis Lyxzén with AC4 and INVSN and those shows were really small venues and few people attending. He is still always giving it all on the stage and it's good to see him having more success - although musically I prefer INVSN nowadays.
ARCHIVE Prague 10/28 - great! The only downside I missed approx. first 15 minutes "thanks" to train delay. Quite small venue and FULL of sound, immersed in/by sound, they're all great musicians and singers (eight people onstage?), great atmosphere. And when Archive song reaches its climax, they just HOLD IT there for minutes and it's just aaaaah, wow.
I've come to the conclusion that first row/GA rail has the best fans ever - only the hardcore need apply. I love VIP tickets but the crowds around those seats are suspect.
Just got home from seeing Manson tonight. Sounded like he was slurring a little but, I tell you what, he killed it.

Scored two last minute tickets to Deadmau5 at Red Rocks last friday for 69 (nice) dollars. It was awesome despite it being super cold. First show that my wife and I have been to at Red Rocks since we moved to Colorado. Hope to catch more!
Saves the Day playing Through Being Cool start to finish was this past Saturday. Club was all smiles on everyone's faces, singing every word louder than Chris. Fun times.
Sunday was Knocked Loose/Stick To Your Guns. It is CRAZY how big Knocked Loose have gotten. Webster Hall was complete chaos almost their entire set. And they sounded really good.
Got Adam Beyer/Drumcode Friday & then Slayer etc on Saturday at MSG.
Brutus next Wednesday.
Following weekend in Counterparts/Varials/End Friday at Gramercy Theatre, then Judge Saturday down the shore in Asbury Park.
got to cross off a bucket list item tonight when i saw The Cinematic Orchestra, which is absolutely one of the best concerts i've ever attended. they reached further back in their discography than i expected. there are a few video clips in my instagram post if you're curious.
Get your hairspray and tight leggings ready! Motley Crue, Def Leppard & Poison to tour together:

I managed to get KISS tickets, so it looks like I'll be seeing Opeth in Chicago on 2/14 and KISS the next day in Peoria. I can't believe KISS is doing like 100 dates.
Got this tonight. I could walk to it from the house I grew up in. I'm not even that big a fan of either band, but they're both legendary (and still popular) NYHC bands playing a shitty ass bar on Staten Island (where no good shows ever occur) in a performance space the size of my living room. Gonna be crazy.
Coworker just surprised me with a pair of Adam Ant tix for Xmas.
Stone Temple Pilots is doing a new album and they'll do a new acoustic tour
I really like the idea, they have amazing acoustic-slow songs
(Atlanta, Sour Girl, I Got You, thought she'd be mine, the art of letting go, a song for sleeping, Cinnamon)
I hope one day Alice in chains do the same (No excuses, down in a Hole, maybe, black gives way to blue, voices, choke, nutshell, don't follow)
Excited to see Tool on the 18th.

3/20: Knotfest in Japan
7/16-7/18: Failure
9/25: Rammstein
My wife doesn't want to travel to Chicago anymore, so I have no clue what's going on with the Opeth show next month. She talked about perhaps hitting an extra Kamasi Washington show. We're probably also skipping Summer Camp; Ween is cool, but not $280 a person cool... that line up sucks this year, sorry. Regardless:
3/3/2020 = Kamasi Washington (East Monline, IL) [5th time]
System of a Down, Korn, and Faith No More all posted the same teaser on their instagrams saying "Monday." So I'm hoping for some dates with all three of them. Ive never seen FNM or SOAD so it would be crossing off two bucketlist bands for me.
'
That's what I'm hoping for. That's a pretty big lineup and tickets will be hard to come by I would assume. If it's just in ampitheaters, I'll be happy with a lawn ticket. I'd love to be in the pit for SOAD, but that's probably gonna be stupid expensive and hard to get tickets for. Gotta save that money for NIN anyways.
Finally saw SOAD for the first time at Chicago Open Air last year, and they just kept playing and playing and playing. I did the math and it ended up like 60% of their catalog, just insane! I've never seen FNM and I would love to at some point. Korn on the other hand, I only saw once back on the first Family Values tour in '98, and despite them playing here in Sioux Falls a number of times since, I've never had the desire to see them again (their playing here in early February too).
But damnit, between the tickets the two Rammstein shows and VIP tickets for Rock USA, IDK how much more of this I can afford lol
Psycho Las vegas is really outdoing itself. This is the best festival lineup in the country easily.
the revival of Furnace Fest is looking to be really really fun too. Shame it's in bumblefuck Alabama making it hard to get there for it. Tons of reunions & cool shit happening here. Diverse too. Here's who they've announced so far, bigger/more unique shit in bold:

Seen Motionless in White this past Tuesday. Fuck the haters.
Co-headline tour for Motionless In White / Beartooth (MIW were third so I left before them) with Stick to Your Guns and LIMBS
Was a pretty good show with high energy. I'll see MIW again, this was my first.
