This is one band I really want to see live, but I'd rather see them headline and without the weird lineup. I'm surprised this is hitting the Concord in Chicago. Way too big for this show.

My guess is that Riot Mike is putting it on

Concord Hall is not too big for this tour, Simon. Machine Head alone usually pack the House Of Blues when they come to Chicago. Add Children Of Bodom and Epica to the package, and I think that there would be enough interest to fill a place like Concord Hall.


Stay metal. Never rust.

Now that's a package tour I'd really like to avoid!

Hoping Epica comes back for a U.S. headlining tour next year

Milwaukee date I'm pumped!!!

and your guess is wrong....looks like someone from Mojoes is doing it at Concord.

You know, you could've let Jasonic be right one time.

This is a tour that I'd likely avoid, not because I necessarily don't like the bands involved - but because I don't want to be around most of the people that would be at these shows. Sorry. I got Children of Bodom out of my system a while back. I think the only thing that would get me to see them again would be a Hatebreeder or Follow the Reaper set. Then I'd cheer like the fanboy I used to be!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

^^ That being said, I might be one of the only people in regular attendance at MDF and PPUSA with a Children of Bodom patch on my vest. They are the band that got me into European heavy metal, so they'll always have a spot in my heart.

Kinda like all my redneck friends and stupid Pantera.

What's the fun in that?

 

[jem777az]

I'd go see this as I like all the bands involved but, alas......no AZ date. Not surprised since Rob Flynn once told me they don't like coming to AZ cause they don't draw well here. As others have said I'd much prefer to see Epica headline.

 

[SF Metal Man]

I'd go, but it's on Halloween here, and taking my son trick or treating is more important. Besides, I just sae COB a few months ago and Machine Head plays here at least once a year. I'll just hope that Epica comes around again.
