Manowar vs. Dark Tranquility...or, which one is False Metal?

[OrionSon]

My girlfriend actually bought a ticket to Dark Tranquility on accident when she went to buy her Iced Earth tickets. We won't be going to see them , but it's a free $20 for them I guess.

Was Jukka struggling with sustain when they were playing out there?

I'm going this Sunday. Strangely, their tour began by routing through NYC and is finishing around Philly. Of the two venues, I much prefer the Philly one.

Anyone who uses the term "false metal" and is serious about it (I.E. not OP - who seems like a cool guy) should be banned from the internet.

But, I liked Brother Firetribe's first album..

Oh dear, shouldn't have said that. Looks like the Government's going to have to revoke your internet for ever bro.

Maybe that's why they renamed it Break Out for the US release. They were trying to avoid AS's scorn?

they were trying to avoid Obama from banning ppl imo.

12 years ago I saw Immortal, at the peak of their powers, smashed in at a small club outside of Chicago. For perhaps the only time in my life, I left before the headlining band came on, confident that the only role they could play would be to sour the high that I was on. That headlining band was Manowar, and this thread is yet another confirmation that my decision that night was the correct one. So thank you!

Your situation sounds like a nice mirror-image of mine; rather than pre-emptively avoiding a bad taste in your mouth like I did, you instead used Dark Tranquillity as mental Listerine. Nice work.

I can also add that the ticket price to see both Manowar and Immortal back then in 2002 was $20. Sorry.

I was at that show too. Riley's Rock House in sunny Aurora, IL.

Too bad you left early. It was a great show, but if you don't like Manowar then I guess you didn't miss anything!
