None of those are my cup of tea because metal in general is not my cup of tea. However, based on the handful of metal shows I’ve seen, they’re still probably worth watching for the spectacle no matter how bad the music is.
Shouldn’t our budget be $150? There are some sacrifices in not willing to make!
As in getting soad 3 times? /jk
Yeah… I’ll pass.
Ilk go to see SOAD twice.
If I should ever find myself with tickets for them I’ll remember you, Macaroni Ninja.
You are a true gentleman/gentlewoman/gentleperson! Much obliged!
Can only see them once because Ticketmaster adds another $36 in fees, but this only shows up after you’ve managed to get through the queue and if you think about it too long, you’ll lose your spot.
Ah shit, sorry, they accidentally sold your tickets on their scalper site for $1244 (plus fees and taxes), but don’t worry, you’ll get a refund.
Damn it. You beat me to posting this. Seen em in concert like 20ish years ago, too. They were fantastic.
I last saw them in 2015 in London and it was one of the best concerts of my life.
God I wish they would have all played nice and made just one more album.
We got the COVID songs at least? Don’t they still play concerts in Brazil or something?
They play some, still. But not a lot. At least not in the US. They’re playing in Vegas in April this year and that’s it. I remember back the first time I saw them. Think I paid like $20. Good times back then.
At current there is not much shot of an actual tour (Serj doesn’t want to) and there’s just been those two songs in 2020 since 2005. There’s always hopes or hints or speculation of a new album, but really it just doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
Putting System and Deftones in the list is and always was weird to me. These are also the only ones I listen to so perhaps I’m not exactly objective.
Downing Pool is a tricky choice.
Nothing like their first album, when they had Dave Williams.
No Linkin Park? (before they gave up nu-metal)
Seconded
100 Gecs or bust
Seen them twice now and can honestly say you’re missing nothing listening to them at home
Did you see them with Machin Girl?
Yeah, the second time. It was legitimately one of the worst shows out of the 150+ artists I’ve seen in my life and is the reason I’ve sworn off anything in Atlanta or through LiveNation again
System, Deftones, and Il Nino, perfection.
I’ll take Static-X if they’re using a hologram of Wayne
The surviving members have actually been touring with Edsel Dope (from Dope) as their vocalist under the stage name “Xer0”
And honestly, he’s honouring Wayne’s memory, he’s perfect for the band and does it justice.
I’d take system of a down and parking.
Honesty, understandable: I partly like about half of those listed… But I prefer listening to recordings at non-deafening volumes while not being surrounded by a hell lot of humans. Sucks to be an introvert, I guess.
Those bands are rad bro, why you keeping $100?
System of a Down, Static-X, Mushroomhead, and Alien Ant Farm would be one hell of a show
20 bucks to revive Wayne Static is a steal ngl
