I'm mostly going for Asking Alexandria, I See Stars, and Bad Omens. I don't mind the other bands, but I'm not as into them as I am those three.

"this is going to be the gayest tour ever"
"hopefully you can find some scene guy to suck your cock when you go too, since it sounds like you must be into that"

You seem a little insecure, friend. Would you like to talk about it?

"yes"

Alright, cool. Interview time! Firstly, why do you associate the act of fellatio with mainstream metalcore?

I have nothing against the other bands, just not my style. UABB's first two albums were pretty good tho

"I don't associate it with "mainstream metalcore", just the ones who have to use shitty electronic music, auto tuned vocals, and constant chugging."

Well, I'd like to point out that regardless of your views on a band, you can't change the genre they are. Asking Alexandria is mainstream metalcore. Also, most of AA's appeal comes from the catchy riffs, and the above average vocal performance (which Denis is able to replicate live as well). Bar the standard pitch correction that most bands with vocals in every genre use, there's not too much alteration done to Denis's studio vocals bar the stylized glitches in the title track (that were shown in the video)

If you listened to either of I See Star's last two albums, you'll have noticed that they've moved away from the previously autotuned sound of previous efforts, and now only utilize standard pitch correction. Also, the dude's able to hit some fantastic notes. I personally enjoy Denis's screams, he has great range.

Because you can't like anything that's not Opeth or you're a sheep like everyone else.

Either way, tour's gonna rule.
Hyped as fuck. I See Stars always puts on a great light show as well, so I'm pumped for that.

Born of Osiris is probably there purely to raise the mean avg of the bands on the tour, that way they won't all just spontaneously combust by being near each other.

@Trailmix: Yeah I wasn't directing that at you in an insulting way, I was legitimately curious. I first started jamming these guys in 2010 when Stand Up and Scream was in the peak of its popularity, and I was 16/17 then basically (am 23 now)

"is there a site like sputnik that focuses only on metal"

can't tell if you're joking or not because this is a pretty metal-heavy site. Most of these core bands get lots of ratings but relatively lower average scores.

"i bet BlackMalachite wears eyeliner and skinny jeans that show off his flat ass that's right below his tight fitting Asking Alexandria shirt that is eventually taken off when his scene boyfriend wants to lick peanut butter off his tits"

I mean, one of my exes like four years ago licked peanut butter off of my dick because it was one of her fetishes, but I don't think I'd go that far fam.

Worst state I've ever been to hands down though is Kansas.

I've actually wanted to legitimately revisit Pennsylvania for a while now, I only went once as a small child to visit my great grandma, but I remember there being some sort of Hershey's related theme park there or something.

I want to go to that again. Hershey Park looks like a ton of fun, I was told I went as a child, but I can't remember it, bar a view very small memories of seeing one of the roller coasters out of an apartment window.
