cscsore

 

[Erik]

trivium is opening

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Tickets for their Oslo show isn't out yet...

 

[lizard]

trivium are going to get taken to the woodshed.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I just snoooped around a bit, and I got tickets to the Oslo show!!! I think this'll be my tenth time seeing them.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah I heard they were doing some festivals. Is this in support of the new album then?

That's an INCREDIBLE spot for Trivium to win. This could also be recognition/reward by Maiden for Trivium's outspoken support in the Sharon Osbourne ordeal. I mean, it's not like Maiden will ever give Zakk Wylde a support slot now is it?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

It may be a thanks to Trivium, but it's also a big fuck you to all their fans with decent tastes...

Nah, not really. Maiden know that 95% of fans don't go to see their shows for the support act. Seriously, it's just beer time either way.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

True true... Last time I saw them, Mastodon had the support slot, and the beers flowed like golden ambrosia...

Yeah exactly. Honestly, you've gotta think of the average Maiden fan -- he's not there to see the new kids on the block, he's in there for the hope of seeing "Children of the Damned" one last time before he dies.

Not festivals.

This is a proper arena tour. Of course only Europe gets it. :Smug:

 

[Erik]

because america sucks ass

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

oh, right. silly me

 

[Erik]

seriously you don't think they would tour arenas in usa if it was at all viable

face it there would be like 246 people coming and 89% of them would leave after trivium finished

 

[lurch70]

i would really want to see the energy of Maiden on a small club stage ... now that would really rule.
fuck these arena shows

 

[lizard]

sad to say there's a kernel of truth in that.
