2014 Shows

[SF Metal Man]

Saw them 5 times (85, 08, 09, 10 & 11) and missed Phil not being on stage the last time. But his replacement did well. Really hope Alves & Haze turn up at the Fillmore next year (40th Anniversary tour).

I see Y&T at least once a year (twice in 2013), and they always put on a good show. Although I do miss the classic lineup, the current lineup is still excellent and I appreciate that they change the setlist up each night.

Babylon A.D. - Vinnies, Concord, CA, 4/26/14

If I had enough disposable income to take off and head to Northern California for a few days..

The only thing I'm aware of is Siberia, which plays mostly punk shows but every now and then a thrash or death metal band slips in.

Thanks.. I forgot about Siberia. I could enjoy some punk next week.

Just caught Death Angel. Ok show. Severe tech problems getting the microphones to work for both Tyr & DA. DA had it worse. 10 minutes of trying to fill time getting it sorted and still the vocals gave out.

Was this a warm up for the COB tour, or the first actual show of the tour? If so, how was COB?

 

[PIOT]

No COB. DA was headlining. Tyr and some local band (singer with a Slipknot shirt) opened. Apparently, it was their first show after travelling for 30 hours.

Ottawa crowd was typically weird. Old guys like myself for DA, dancing epileptic hipsters/metalsucks readers/Cobain sweater wearing giggling idiots etc, Tyr fans (Lots of t-shirts), drunks and French Canadians probably from Hull. The Montreal audience is so much better.

I laughed out loud.

As things currently sit:

Hottest Chicks in Rock (Sick Puppies/Lacuna Coil/Eyes Set to Kill/Cilver)
Iced Earth/Sabaton/Revamp
ProgPower USA (4 days)

Next Monday: Protest the Hero, The Safety Fire, Intervals, Night Verses, and Battlecross. Battlecross I don't care about, Night Verses is ok, and the other three make me giddy. I can't wait.

 

[AngraRULES]

Dream Theater in 12 days. I can't wait. Then probably nothing for a while.

I just added another show to my schedule... still under wraps, but the month of May will see a nice little "mini" tour for folks in the East Coast.

 

[zekeyou]

FU MANCHU in either Atlanta or Raleigh in May...

 

[OrionSon]

So Queensryche will be in New Orleans Wednesday playing all of Operation: Mindcrime. Only problem is it's the Geoff Tate version. But it would fill up my empty concert schedule and Operation: Mindcrime is always a great record. Will be debating this one.

 

[General Zod]

Has anyone seen the Children of Bodom / Tyr / Death Angel tour? Decided to catch the Philly show, just because I've been jonesing for a show and I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
