2012 tours

[lurch70]

this tour is already in trouble.

TO SAVE THE 'DEATH TO ALL' ATLANTA & DALLAS SHOWS: there is only one way that these two shows can be saved over this Memorial Day long weekend - a mass amount of tix need to be sold. Right away. Before Tuesday. If not, I am told the shows are history. I am very sorry it all depends upon 'in advance' sales, but this isn't my choice or decision. Guys, I am sorry for this - but it depends on logistics. Tix must be sold in order to justify the trips by so many musicians & crew. Spread the word to fans who don't follow this fb page. ERIC

i would not mind seeing the NYC show though ... anyone up for it? I know Zod expressed some interest.

I did see Death 2x in their prime though so this would kind of suck in some ways.

It the show happens, I would likely go.

FYI

>>>
I'm as excited as hell as we move closer to seeing a DEATH TO ALL DVD happening! The New York IRVING PLAZA show will be professionally filmed, so if you're going to that show, put your best metal faces on!

[lurch70]

do you see any white people in those pics? there were a few ... the crazy ... great vibe at the show though.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Seriously dude, you're 6ft fucking 8 and come from Transylvania, who the fuck is going to mess with you?

 

[lurch70]

I was just joking of course ... wasn't expecting a fight or kidnapping ... but you know ... you get uneasy ... you know what that's like Jerry, right?

 

[lurch70]

missed the Dragged into Sunlight show tonight ...

this is a pic from it ... from a few minutes ago someone posted on FB.

these dudes play the entire show with their backs to the audience ... except the drummer who is not shy.

[lurch70]

how much do you think a band like Suffocation for instance makes for a show like MDF? ... or for a Wacken appearance?

 

[dorian gray]

Suffocation I'm sure actually *pays* to play

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Half of them are black, right?

 

[Hell Mike]

Suffocation I'm sure actually *pays* to play

even though they're like one of five decent "brutal death" metal bands who are occasionally good I think you're hitting the nail with the metal hammer

 

[lurch70]

... probably

but I mean it must be pretty lucrative to be on the road nowadays, them and Death Angel for example seems like have been touring non-stop for the last few years. Death Angel especially.
I think they played NY like 3 times this year alone ...

I wonder about this from time to time. With the exception of very very few bands, I don't think these guys do more then breakeven. I remember when Mike akerfeldt joked about finally being able to quit his dayjob and that was years after I assumed opeth was already rolling in dough. Hell, Peter left the band at their height of popularity to go be a physicist

Playing metal music of ANY kind is a shit career move. Venture into the extreme and you're doomed financially (if you're stupid enough to think you'll go beyond hobbying)
