what the hell - i'm trying to find out how many dates this cocksmocking Danzig tour is going on - because if anything fucks up Houston date - which took me a lot of mental (YES MENTAL!) duress to get a day off - in inventory period mind you - I will so fucking slaughter everyone's souls! Maybe I'm overreacting - but the people in Portland are pretty much fucked now - did I mention how much I hate Danzig?! Fuck him.

Yeh, I read about the Blackest of The Black tour on Blabbermouth news today..The conflicting dates with's Opeth's headlining tour are indeed weird, and the bands for the most part aren't black metal even though I enjoy Nile and Opeth's music..There must be a mistake here and honestly speaking who IS Opeth's booking agent..The Black Water Park USA tour (at first with Amorphis, and then with Nevermore) hit almost every pocket in the USA..
The Deliverance tour is far more fragmented with two seperate legs..
Sounds like Opeth are double booked between Portand, and Arizona..Wow, strange..
No east Coast dates for the Blackest of The Black tour? I'm sure this tour is NOT 100% booked or confirmed yet..
Opeth's managment/ booking agent wil clear up this mess soon..-l-

 

[Protected Witness]

Don't believe it til you see it on Opeth's official page. They still don't have the New England Hardcore Fest confirmed...

 

[The Metal Pigeon]

i'm hoping they don't decide to delay the entire tour by one day - that would so suck - because i already made plans to have a day off on may 10th for the houston show.

 

[The Metal Pigeon]

btw - does anyone know if the May tour with Lacuna Coil is Opeth playing acoustically? or full electric?

 

[Sign of Eth]

Don't believe it til you see it on Opeth's official page. They still don't have the New England Hardcore Fest confirmed...

It is on Opeth's page. The Portland and Seattle dates have been moved back a couple days to make room for Arizona and LA.

 

[NapalmForLunch]

FUCKING BASTARD! I just got a call and the show is now wensday april 30th. Makes me mad... I might not make it because it is not a weekend and loose the money.

 

[Demonspell]

A bigger problem: Where is the NYC date?

A bigger problem: Where is the NYC date?

I think this is the second leg of the DELIVERANCE tour... Didn't you go to the Irving Plaza show (total ownage... )? They'll probably hit NYC later in the year for DAMNATION... hopefully, the sound will be better next time around...

It seems to me that they're hitting markets that were skipped over on the first leg.

12th - ATLANTA, GA MASQUERADE

Oh man, no shit? I have some saving up to do, it looks like.

 

[LambOfGod]

I wanted to see Opeth and Meshuggah on the Blackest of the Black but Meshuggah dropped off. I, too, am hoping for an NYC date. I would much rather have the opeth headlining tour come here because I don't like Danzig or Superjoint ritual

 

[Rob Damage]

Actually Meshuggah isnt officially off, but their name is taken off the BotB tour site until the dates get more official.

At least thats what I understood it to be..

 

[MindInsane]

Danzig isn't good enough to tour with Opeth.............he completely sux ass live!!!!

 

[NapalmForLunch]

Yes... I hope that the show is moved back to friday.

 

[NapalmForLunch]

And I hope they are flying to AZ... You can't do that driving.

Now where is the FUCKING LOGIC in that ?? didnt that show sell out weeks before ? Not coming to NYC means losing money for them/their promoter. Thats just plain stupid going to places not knowing it'll be a good turn out rather than guaranteed sold out shows.

Im still hoping between 17th and 23th there'll be atleast one gig around nyc-philly-nj

 

[Morfiend]

So the Seattle date is now the 29th and the Portland show is the following night. Thank fucking god, I thought I was going to go completely nuts thinking they were going to cancel

Also, the Danzig tour won't be any more than 3 shows so I doubt any of the shows in the middle/end of the tour will be affected at all.

 

[Demonspell]

I was at Irving Plaza for the January show, and it was amazing...I agree with Ytse that even though this is an extension of that tour, there is no logical reason to skip the NYC area completely...

 

[deathbearer]

I agree..Skipping NYC sucks..I have freinds who couldn't score tics to the Irving Plaza show..Perhaps Opeth could do a gig in Poughkeepsie, NY at The Chance just 90 minutes from NYC..That would be awesome..-l-
