I'm definitely going. Should be easier to get tickets for than Taylor Swift was...

might go but the venue is a huge turn-off

What's wrong with it?

jelly yuuropoor moment

Is this news?

yes

catch mastodon and gojira / be within 100 feet of lorna shore it's a tough call

Metal died in 1993. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 1994, being already recorded by 1993). Metal achieved its creative peak in albums like Onward to Golgotha, Pure Holocaust, and The Red in the Sky is Ours, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to Slaughter of the Soul and Gojira, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground metal into AC/DC).

he' ll yeah duder!

I'm praying to the almighty metal gods Gojira plays second so I can skip some traffic. Idk if I can survive another set by those crepe-wrapping hacks.

I have still yet to hear one good song from them

I was supposed to see Gojira a few years ago but the tour got cancelled cuz Lamb of God man pushed that guy off the stage and had to go to court in a foreign country

hey i remember when that happened

“What's wrong with it?“

fiddlers green is just a shit venue

“Minneapolis, MN” - Venue is 1 hour outside of Minneapolis. Not even in the metro area. So weird.

Good tour, shame it’s not coming here
I thought Lorna Shore were going to be my guilty pleasure album of the year but honestly it wasn’t even guilty, it was a damn good modern metal album
Gojira have a great back catalog though I don’t love the last two - they’ll still smash out some tracks from Sirius and Flesh and their glory days
Mastodon are probably my favourite metal band

Twenty minutes away on a Saturday? Free parking, can't complain. I'll go watch these people play instruments.

im so fucking sick of heavy shows being in mostly/exclusively seated venues. this viewpoint of mine absolutely SCREAMS "balding has-been music fan hates watching bands he likes succeed" but heavy music is totally and completely not designed to be enjoyed in static environments. the way i've grown up, people are supposed to be able to move around and have fun at these types of shows and forcing people to pony up multiple hundreds of dollars for that privilege and be relegated to shitty nosebleeds if they cant afford that really sucks. like yeah, im happy these great bands are finally being recognized for their efforts and talents, but its just pretty unfortunate that that success means less people have the privilege of watching them live in a way that they actually enjoy.

^ Agree with this completely. Last time Gojira came to Portland I wanted to go but pit tickets were like $200 plus venue fees and taxes. I suspect this tour will be priced very similar, and it's due to the cost of renting these huge venues. These days I tend to stick to the bands that play in a GA venue of 300 people or less.

now adays i suppose it's better to have a more open-air arrangement but I do love a smaller venue much more than seated nonsense.
