The KING Returns!!!!!!!

[Jasonic]

I had a bit of issue with it considering the small amount of time they played. Had they done a full set, I would have had no problem.

I agree. They should have played longer. No doubt about that.

Manowar has never been a "band for the masses" who will tour every year for the same $20 ticket price. Their live shows / tours have always been unique in some fashion, even long before bands these days were doing things they have done before (IE - multi night stands, complete albums, chronological sets)..

Of course some other bands were doing that too.

Though Manowar never did the year after year 50 city tours.

What pisses me off about them though is I see the setlists they have for shows overseas, yet they won't do that here. I just think that's shitty.

Agreed, but what are you going to do????

It's supply and demand......

Will be interesting to see if the complaints about the short set VS Price tag affect the upcoming US dates ticket sales........

I bet less people who saw them in Feb will race back now once they realize it is going to be pretty much the same show they saw before. But also there were hundreds turned away at the door for the CHicago show so I am sure they will all come to see this one now. If I had the extra income I would be interested in going again. Just can't justify 75 bucks for a show I saw 4 months ago.

I have a feeling that Chicago date is not going to do well, especially since I know of another show that same night.

For as much as Simon is on FB, I am surprised he didnt know that already!!!

Yeah, Manowar will definitely be a last minute decision.
Esp being at Concord, I am not too worried about it selling out.

I was pretty much absent from the internet the last 4 days.

Hope you all got your tix!

The good King has sold out!

Bassist HAL PATINO Fired From KING DIAMOND

Hal Patino has been relieved of his duties with King Diamond, for reasons very similar to why he was fired from the band in 1990.

This will have NO negative impact on our upcoming shows whatsoever.
On the contrary.

King

JESS AND THE ANCIENT ONES are now the opener on this tour.

I remember hearing a couple clips when they first came out.

Not too bad - standard female fronted occult metal (IE - Mount Salem, etc.)

Afterparty gig for the Seattle gig is Satan, Magic Circle and Night Demon. Surf's up!

Sweet! Sulfur Giants was one of my favorite songs of 2012. Even more excited for this show now.
