Ah, had no idea of that one.

Cheers for the link - can't miss the chance to see Nevermore again.

Seems mad that we last had them in Whelan's.

There is some footage of that gig on YouTube - bit blurry but the sound is ok:

There is a clip at the end of Dew-Scented, who seemed to support everyone back then.

Yeah, it was a regular set. The snow machine was during Frozen.

I remember reading a review from that tour in Kerrang from another date. A lot of the Pete-isms (wine bottle into the crowd) and even the exact same quotes from the stage seem to have been his routine at the time. I remember his banter being something like 'If you're going to kill yourself, make sure you bring someone you really hate along' and that exact line was mentioned in the review for the other gig.

The covers are great. They had a Santana medley that came on a bonus disc with a live DVD. Worth checking that one out.

I love Dead Again. Was glad when it was finally got a reissue a few years back.

Was lucky to be at the SFX gig back in the day. I only became a fan after that show.

Class news - listening on their bandcamp now:

Would love to see them live.

They were featured on a TV show I was watching last night but it has sent me back to listening to Hermanos Gutierrez - I think these lads are fantastic.

Anyone watching Pluribus?

It's a slow burn but I like it. Certainly a different approach to a sci-fi/end of the world as we know it (although it reminds me a lot of a particular Rick and Morty episode).

I have a lot of time for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so I think Vince Gilligan has earned the right to do whatever he wants at this stage.

I thought the episode that just came out (episode 7) was the best one so far. Great stuff on the soundtrack of that episode too - Judas Priest and Hermanos Gutierrez.

I haven't seen them since 2017 so I'm well overdue.

Did anyone go to this? As much as I would have preferred another venue, it was a good show. Turnstile had the place heaving.

I was very very far above the median age of the audience! Young crowd. I didn't see any dickheadery and it seemed like a crowd of decent skins. Jesus, I felt so old.

High Vis and Gurriers were alright. For a "hardcore" band, High Vis sounded more like an indie rock band to me though. They were decent all the same.

Glad I went - haven't seen the Point with an energetic crowd like that in many years (mostly end up seeing legacy acts there I suppose).

Terrible news - he seemed like a good dude by all accounts. I got into a few of his other bands over the years as well as ATG - one of the great metal vocalists for me.

Terrible news - RIP Brent. One of the standout guitarists from this century.

Feel terrible for the lads in Mastodon as well - the relationship may have went sideways over recent years but they have such a shared history.

I know they will sell a load more tickets, but this would have been much better in any of the smaller venues for multiple nights instead of this barn. I think the 3Arena is fine for bands that have a bigger production or more elaborate staging but not this.

Hopefully we'll get an opportunity to catch them at a better venue when they're not as hyped as now. It's similar to the Deftones - loved seeing them in Vicar St, the Ambassador or the SFX but don't think they are suited to this venue.

Dunno where they could move it to - 3Arena isn't available on this date, this venue is booked the day before and after.

I was able to get a ticket in the presale but no chance at standing. This will be a fun show - I really hope it doesn't get rescheduled to another date at the 3arena - it would be shit to see this crowd there. I'd take a few nights in Vicar St or the Olympia however but they'd have to move the dates around. 

Thanks for the link. Fuck yeah!

It is too expensive but the addition of Quicksand has convinced me to head along. I don't think this will sell out though - seems to be plenty of tickets available this morning.
