Chicago Peeps - Orphaned Land

[yardleybates]

Who all is going to Orphaned Land this Friday?

Yippee will be out of town on a trip and I don't normally go to shows solo so would love to catch up with some folks and hang out.

Well I really consider it more being there for Katatonia, but anyways I will definitely be there. Looking forward to Orphaned Land as well though in addition to Swallow the Sun. No offense to Jason, but Novembers Doom seems to be one of those bands where sometimes I love them and sometimes I hate them. Maybe seeing them live will change my opinion on them.

Aww, wish November's Doom was also playing our show! What a great addition to the lineup!

Argh....If I was still living in Chicago, I would be there. Although I will be in town this weekend, I already have plans with my wife. Have a great time....argh....argh...

Simon,
It's no offense to me, though you do know that one of their guitarists does post regularly here though right???

They do seem to be fine with all criticism, so it's all good.

They do kill live.

I hope to be there Friday as well.

As someone said above tho, I would certainly say that Katatonia and ND are a lot more of the attraction than Orphaned Land is, but to each their own. I do like OL btw, so certainly not hating on them, but Katatonia and ND both simply kill live.

Oh I know they do. I wasn't being completely critical of them either. Just one of those bands, where sometimes when I listen to it I love it and other times I don't. It's really quite strange. Like I said I'm hoping seeing them Friday may change that.

I think on this forum OL may be more popular, but in general people going to that show will be there for Katatonia and ND. Maybe even Swallow the Sun too since they've been over here a couple of times previously and fit more than OL does.

WHY YOU SON OF A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding It's cool if you don't dig some of our stuff, hopefully seeing us Friday will change some of that. We do have a short set, but it's a good set. It will also be the first ND show with my new haircut!

 

[Saladbar]

I'll be there. Shannon a lot of the "crew" will be there as well, come on out to the show you know a lot of them.

 

[Jasonic]

We do have a short set

Short, as in "Local support for SIGH" short, or Chicago Powerfest short????

 

[Jasonic]

I'll be there.

As if the bands weren't enough of an attraction to attend, YOU will be there???
DAMN!!!!!
I am gettin' my VIP ticket ASAP!

 

[Diabolik]

If Jason is going I will be making a rare appearance. Basically going to Novembers Doom...I will hang out for a bit but dont have much interest in the rest of the line up.

Yeah, I guess most shows we play locally are "short sets" It's around 35 minutes I believe.

I will try to keep you entertained until Katatonia starts playing just so at least you can see part of their set. I can see how you wouldn't like 'em but I didn't either until I saw them live, they completely blew me away.

thanks....I will definetly stay to hear a few songs by them. I think the last time I saw you are a show was the last Nov Doom show there....

also....this isnt going to turn into one of these 9 PM start time shows even though it says 7 PM???? The damn Raven show the next day has 5 bands starting at 9.

I saw this tour this past weekend in Worcester. Katatonia & Swallow the Sun were both very good, though I was there for Orphaned Land, and they killed. It was an awesome show.

Doubt it, it's an all ages show. Raven is 17+.

thank goodness....with my crazy social life I cant be out that late twice in a row.
