I'm rotating some Nevermore on the 'ol playlist right now, as often happens.
Nevermore, for my money, is a world class metal band. Their last three albums in particular have been as good a run as ANY three albums in a row by a metal band - Metallica's first three, Opeth, Maiden, Sabbath, you name it. I'm quite serious about that, though of course it is just my opinion. I'd say they have been my favorite straight-up metal band for awhile now.
Anyway, I've been hoping to see them for some time, yet they only seem to come through here (San Francisco - a big market) with bands I really don't like, and usually two or three bands at a time at that - meaning a small setlist inevitably. I'll see them next time they come through regardless, but couldn't care less about In Flames and the other bands on the upcoming tour. Not to mention the fact that they are touring in Europe with Disturbed (?????) I understand the need for exposure, so I'm certainly not harping on the band themselves. Only.....COME ON MAN!!!! Let's get a headline tour going! The only exception I can think of as far as their touring history goes is a jaunt they did with Opeth on the Dead Heart/Blackwater Park tour (Nevermore headlining). I didn't live anywhere near a place where that tour stopped (wasn't here at the time).
Anyway, granted I missed some of the shows they've done here because I was busy, or out of town....but just as often I've opted out because I don't want to see Dimu Borger (no time for spelling!) or Children of Bodom.
OK, rant done. As I said before, I'll go see them next time regardless (which will probably be the In Flames tour).....Man, I wish I lived in Europe sometimes.

. I think Arch Enemy is great but I couldn't care less for Chimaira or God Forbid and haven't heard any Hate Eternal, so now I don't know if I'll go. Plus I've already seen Arch Enemy once.
