What caught my eye here is the mention of Capone's. Some of us expressed our disappointment in moving the Amorphis show to Capone's last week. Nobody had seemed to see this happen before. I hope seeing bands at floor level is not going to become a common occurrence. :Smug:
 
March 18, I am so there!

I also know someone who was also in the video, he's the guy interviewing the band with a rather antiquated recorder.

Goddamit YET ANOTHER TOUR NOT IN MICHIGAN!!!!
first Finntrol, Gamma Ray, Overkill, At The Gates, KREATOR, and now after really wanting to see SuidAkra again and finally see Tyr, I am fucked once again!
 
^ That's sucks. What's up with that, are there not enough people showing up at shows there? If so, it's seems it is starting to happen here as well.

$ign of the time$ ?

well, we(MI) do have the crappiest economy in the states.

even though we still have moderatly good ticket sales to all of the shows ive gone to.
we also have a crust punk/metal underground but on the surface, meaning 99% of harpos opening local bands are Arise and Ruin clones.

i have to go to bars, houses and lofts to see Reaper or Sauron something big bands like ATG wouldn't do.

but Impaled and Nachtmystium don't seem to mind.

Ive lost faith in Harpos but the Majestic is practically doing nothing close to metal of the mentioned bands caliber. Its a shame. Wish i could go to chicago twice.
 
IMO, I think the smaller crowds are more a result of there being more & more metal tours these days. Almost seems like 10x more than just a couple years ago...especially when it comes to packages with European band included.

You combine more frequent tours with our shitty economy & people have less money & time to go to shows all the time...so they pick the ones they really really want to see.

I'd love to go to more shows, but unfortunately life gets in the way more often than not.
