PARADISE LOST to support NIGHTWISh on U.S. tour.

[Purveyor Of Evil]

I saw this on Bravewords.com. I can live with it.

Cool. I'm a big fan of Paradise Lost, especially Draconian Times and the band's latest disc. Honestly, I wish PL was headlining instead of Nightwish.

 

[lady_space]

Holy shit, I may have to go see this. Paradise Lost is one of those bands I've been dying to see for a long time. I basically like everything. Atlanta's the last date on the tour it looks like.

 

[Stardust2112]

Oh...
...my...
...GAWD!!!!!

I finally get to see Paradise Lost. And I don't even care that they're opening for Nightwish, who I don't really even like. They could be opening a supermarket and I'd be there.

Fucking cool. Paradise Lost is one of the two bands that got me into the whole underground metal scene to begin with, yet I've never seen them live. Of course, they hadn't played here for years, then I missed the one tour they did a couple years ago. I was initially on the fence about seeing Nightwish, but this seals it!

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Yeah, I just saw this announcement on Blabbermouth. Fucking awesome. And great that it's coming to Atlanta. I'll be there no question at the Masquerade (especially considering that Nov. 17 is a SATURDAY! WOO HOO!).

 

[mtndewqueen88]

Excellent news! I was worried we'd get Bullet for My Valentine or something, but this is wonderful.

PARADISE LOST to support NIGHTWISh on U.S. tour.

As if I needed one more reason to think that the current Metal scene is not going so well, here it comes...


PL opening for Nightwish? What an insult. I know as of the last few years PL's more recent material was not exactly Earth-shattering, but still...their weakest material ever still pwns the ENTIRE Nightwish catalog.

I know someone will post how Nightwish outsells PL...but for one, I don't care, and two, Nightwish are just riding the current trend of ridiculously cheesy Metal that we are currently entrenched in.

But it'll at least get me in bed early as I'll leave after PL. Nice.

Draconian Times...hands down. their other stuff is good. but Draconian changed my life...im not really sure how, but it does kick my little draconian ass

It really IS a life-changing album. Music AND lyrics are just simply brilliant.

Is anybody else disapointed that Into Eternity is not opening this tour?
