[Malaclypse]

i didn't make up my mind about single shows so far, but i'll definetely visit Summer Breeze Festival in Germany (www.summer-breeze.de) and i'll try to go for wacken this year

 

[Arch]

I'm planning to see Nile, The Berzerkers, Strapping Young Lad, and this band called "Dark Tranquillity" on the 22:nd of January in Hollywood, California, USA. Ten days and counting...

 

[Ormir]

Next Wendesday, The Crown.

 

[rahvin]

you know, i keep repeating myself i want to see a lot of shows this year, of many different bands and styles of music. the main problem with this is that i have absolutely no idea who could i go with, since all my friends in the area are either:
a. not in the area anymore
b. too lazy to be bothered
c. not interested in certain kinds of music
d. prone to vanish in thin air.

so i'm desperate looking for someone who's willing to come to no matter what gig. is there anybody here that can help? miolo? hiljainen?
...
...
hedon?

rahvin.

 

[Miolo]

i'd come with you at gigs, rahvin.
but the band who plays is an important thing, you know, i don't like going to a concert just to go to a concert.

by the way, the only one planned so far is Symphony X ( ) with Stratovarius ( ).

Miolo (selective)

 

[Fractured]

The planned ones are Arch Enemy, Paradise Lost and Iron Maiden.

ah, but i do.
we can set up a nice little compromise where i go with you at tedious slow-motion gigs such as those of prog metal bands like symphony bu and then you come with me to see energy-packed punk and electronics music shows.

...i feel i just alienated one of my possibilities... :s

rahvin.

 

[Miolo]

well, ok.
keep me informed on the gigs you wanna see, so i can prepare a realistic excuse.

Miolo (joking, of course )

Finally, I'm not going to see Masterplan (did I say Masterplan? I wanted to say Jorn Lande, simply). Since NostradaEmus opens the show, and Hammerfall is the head of the gig, Masterplan will play just a bunch of songs and sincerely... I don't want to get annoyed agaaaaain with that fuckin' Manowar fake. I'm becoming a man who attends to the gigs just to see perfrom live the second or third band in the show!

@Rahvin: Symphony X... slow-motion?! But anyway, that gig has the requirements you asked for: it's a show, no matter who's playing there.

yes, yes, i knew you'd be siding with the prog metal freak, you oil-lacking robot.
besides, i'm ok with seeing that show. but still nobody's gonna take me to see afi or diorama or eminem.

rahvin.

 

[TexunNYC]

This month, the only metal show I'm attending is Opeth / Paradise Lost; the rest of the month is nothing but obscure blues performances in seedy, smoky dives

But next month? The Nile tour in Poughkeepsie, Philadelphia and NYC and the Malevolent tour in Buffalo & Cleveland.

Stockholm-dude: what's the date on that Haunted gig? My roommate just married a Stockholm-dude and will be coming over on the 20th -- is she there in time to catch that show?

 

[Syndrome]

The Haunted + support, Klubben/Stockholm
Children Of Bodom + suppoty, Klubben/Stockholm

but that's just a maybe

 

[MP-AKK]

Arch and CoB for sure, haven't checked Haunted's setlist yet, hm... Got a feeling that they just might stop by here in town.

 

[MP-AKK]

8 Months short for Haunted, wouldn't you know it. Just great, hrm, age-limit makes sense anyway since it's a clubgig.

 

[ricochet]

I'll be flying to see Opeth on the 27th in Chicago.

I am going to try like hell to see DT/Nile/SYL in Atlanta on Feb. 14th. I realllly hope I can make it.

That's pretty far from there
Anyway, I'll be at Tuska for sure, don't know what other gigs/festivals worth attending will be arranged around here.. we'll see.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Hey Qsilver, do you recall in year's past when they begin announcing details, bands, etc. for Tuska? The official site's not been updated in what seems like forever...

hey! that sounds like fun.

there's a place called Bugsy's in Highland, IN where Ronnie Baker Brooks (son of Lonnie Brooks) plays regularly on Thursday nights. i might try to catch one of those shows before he packs up and goes to FLA for a few months.

also, have you ever heard of Papa Chubby? WXRT, a local radio station here has a show called Blues Breakers every Monday night. last week I heard a track from PC's album, The Good, The Bad, and The Chubby, ( ) called "Somebody Let the Devil Out". it's a slower blues/rap song with some faint scratching in parts and some AWESOME lyrics - funny and poignant at the same time. it's a must-hear.

"Somebody let the devil out and it'll take a long shoe to kick him back down to hell..."
