A Perfect Circle

All I know is, he better not debut new songs at the Aftershock festival next weekend, cuz I'm skipping APC's set to secure a good spot for NIN...
Bloody hell...

Maybe I'm going to have to re-think that decision...
I mean.... the only pit show on the tour AND new songs... I know how much Maynard hates his pits...

I'm almost glad I'm missing Aftershock because being in the front of APC earlier this year at a fest was one of the best experiences of my life, shortly followed by being at the front for NIN at fests being some of the best experiences of my life. I can safely say that if APC is putting on shows like earlier this year then MJK's voice will be incredible and the whole set will be electrified and full of life.

On the other hand it sounds like they'll be touring fairly regularly next year, so if you want to sacrifice their set to see NIN closer up, then you might be able to still check them out sometime relatively soon.

Yeah, they're coming to Vancouver in November. I have tickets. That's how I justified skipping APC for a rail spot for NIN. But, our tickets are pure garbage. They're like row 17 or row 23 or something awful like that. I HATE being stuck in seats at a show, but at a Maynard show, you don't really have a choice because they're ALL seats at his shows. Unless there's a show at a festival, that's the only chance in hell getting into a pit at a Maynard show.

I mean, I haven't seen APC since 2011, and just saw NIN at the rail at bakersfield this summer... but, this one is mainly for my girlfriend. This will be here first NIN show, and she's crazy short and I want her to at least be able to see and enjoy the show, so I kinda wanna secure us rail spots (or very close behind rail) for NIN.

I'll judge the crowd after Run the Jewels. If it emptys out to APC then I might stop by APC for a few songs, but if it starts getting packed after RtJ and other people have the same plan, I may just stay there waiting for NIN.
The fact there is a 5 min span between APC ending and NIN starting is ridiculous!

that is indeed a big problem, I don't want to miss apc either so i guess i'll have a shitty spot for nin, hopefully it doesnt take 30mn to get from a to b.

this leads right into my theory that festival headliners should be spread throughout the day, not all sandwiched in at the end of the night. i think it would make for a much more enjoyable festival experience. i was at aftershock last year and had to sacrifice slayer for a good tool spot, but if the organizers wouldve spread things out it couldve benefited everyone. the big bands still get the longer slots, theyre just not all back to back.

Ridiculous for the fans? Yes. But short of putting them on the same stage (or giving APC a really, really shitty set time), it's the only way to do it from a logistics standpoint.
