Need your help in making a decision!

Ok Folks!
Help me out. There are two local shows I want to attend the week after next. However, I have to schedule a business meeting on one of these two days. Which one of the following gigs should I go to? Please decide for me as I'm tired of dwelling on it.

1. Dimmu Borgir / Behemoth

2. Symphony X / Epica / Into Eternity

Have never seen Dimmu Borgir. Have seen Symphony X many times. Have never seen Epica.

Dimmu puts on a good show, Behemoth puts on a fucking great show, and I've never seen Keep of Kalessin but if their shows are as good as their music, they'll steal the show.
Epica is fun but I guarantee you Behemoth is better.

Schedule your meeting so you can make both.

If there is NO WAY you can move the meeting to an alt date, my vote-even tho I love love love Sym X- is...

Do not miss Dimmu. They were here Friday night and I'm telling you, you need to be at that show.

Truth.

Dimmu is fun live but Behemoth just sucks.

DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH, KEEP OF KALESSIN hands down. Especially since you haven't seen them.

Keep of Kalessin would win this for me. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Dimmu or Behemoth.

Epica does not have Simone with them. In plain simple English, Dimmu Borgir is your best bet. Not knocking Amanda Somerville, but Amanda is only touring for the ailing Simone. If she was the full replacement, different story. But, she ain't. Therefore you can go to Dimmu w/o reservations.

As with everything you've pretty much ever posted, your reasoning is ridiculous and overly superficial.

No it's not, it's pure logic of ruling out reasons. If seeing Epica is the reason for him to go to that show, he might as well wait until they come around again with Simone so he can see the performance of the full band. Amanda might be great and all, but she will never sing with them again (hence the comment about being a permanent replacement) so he might as well skip it and go to the Dimmu show. Choosing to go to a show for a support bands who is down a key member & a headliner you've seen numerous times vs. going to see a headliner for the first time isn't much of a contest.

Please tell me, what's so wrong with this reasoning?

On the other hand, Amanda wrote a lot of the songs with Simone (i think), is Simone's vocal coach so she knows how to sing the songs, she's (imho) a better singer than Simone, AND it's your only chance to see her with this band. Certainly Dimmu will tour again.
