Gordon Comstock Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Saw Monster Truck / I Mother Earth / Alice in Chains on monday. Got to the park and just kind of strolled up front, I was 2nd row, just right of center stage, and had my girlfriend in front of me. Monster Truck were awesome, I Mother Earth sucked, their set dragged on waaay too long. The crowd was really chill for the first bands, but when AiC went on we couldn't move. They were good though, anyone seeing them soon won't be disappointed, my only complaint is I wish they'd play more than 2 songs off the new album.I'm debating if I should see AIC at the Toronto festival next month. I really like their latest album so ill be a little bummed if they only play 2 tracks from it.Unfortunately, I wouldn't count on getting more than 2 tracks from the new record. They also play 2 tracks from Black Gives Way to Blue. Here's the setlist from the show I saw.It's still an awesome show, I'd definitely like to go see them again on a proper tour, they're just doing a bit of a festival run so hopefully on the next NA leg they add 2 or 3 new songs....

ZoSoRose Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My parents got to see Robert Plant for free on the beach in Abu Dhabi a few years back for WOMAD Festival, dad said it was great. ZoSo how'd you get your photo with Slash? I managed to get his autograph after London gig in October but we were all told no photos (tbf there was a really long queue).Alice in Chains announced UK dates in November, tickets go on sale on Friday, thinking of getting a ticket, how are they live?Awesome man! I've seen him before on the Raising Sand tour. It was awesome but Im looking forward to hearing more Zep tunes this time. Hes one of my idols Anyways, with Slash I got to meet him before the show at the VIP thing. I got in for free and got to talk to him for a little while and got the picture and a few autographs. Nice dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Better make sure I get AiC tickets tomorrow morning, then.The Pretty Reckless have just released tickets for London, should I pick one up? I quite like their songs, any of you seen them when they opened for GNR? I saw Taylor Momsen briefly (didn't know it was her at the time) with Axl after the L'Arc gig before they went back to his hotel to play Monopoly or whatever it is rock stars like to do with hot babes.

Powerage5 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Had my first gig in Europe last night, in Malmo. Did the barrier and it was absolutely fuckin' nuts, but a cool experience. Definitely not doing the barrier in Stockholm since its 61,000. Gotta decide if its worth doing the barrier for St. Petersburg, might be insane there!

James Bond Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Saw Alice last night in London. It was a disappointment that I only got a 15 song set because of the oddly strict curfew at Budweiser Gardens and the seemingly late start time. Still, it was a hell of a show. William Duvall can really sing. I don't know how anybody could have walked out of there disappointed with how the band sounded. Great set list too though three more songs would have been ideal but oh well. I don't feel ripped off, I had a great time and I wish I could catch the Toronto show next month but I'll be on vacation.

Zeppelin Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yeah, I was disappointed with the time issues, but it was still a hell of a show. That being said, I'm kinda tired of being around drunks at shows. I mean, be drunk all you want, but stop spilling your fucking beer all over the place.But yeah. great show. Wish there were a few more songs, but that's okay. DuVall really takes charge of the stage more than I thought he would which was awesome. Great stuff.

Black Sabbath Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Fell asleep after getting my wisdom teeth out today so fucking missed out on getting Meet & Greet tickets for The Pretty Reckless. I might still go though, but I really wanted the VIP ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Robert plant was amazing tonight! his voice is still fantastic and his band its totally unique.will always dream of seeing page or zeppelin but it was still so great to see Robert again, and hearing s bunch of zeppelin sons i haven't heard him play before.The drunk idiots in the audience were annoying though Edited July 13, 2013 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tat2d1 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Went and saw Gigantour the other night, they had tickets buy 1 get 1 free. Good show but dead crowd. Only a little over 1500 tickets sold in an 8000 capacity arena. Newsted's new band rocked. Volbeat, HIM, All That Remains, & Airborne next month.

Amir Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Gah, NIN need to announce Europe dates soon, I'm jealous of you NA fuckers.Saw The Black Crowes open for Bruce back in June, loved their guitarists, singer not so much.Might be tempted by a Stones arena show after the Hyde Park disappointment. Spoke to Powerage about it, he said he didn't think the live recording on iTunes was up to much, either. Only artist I think who can pull off a big stadium/festival show really well is The Boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm thinking about going to see Alice Cooper in November, but tickets start at $115 Gonna really consider it though, because I don't have to travel to see him like I do for most concerts, so I save ferry & hotel money....

Black Sabbath Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'll be missing out on Cooper due to NIN, but that's OK with me.I've got the last Sabbath show in Philly this saturday, NIN at the Made In America Festival on September 1st, Avenged Sevenfold sometime in October, and 3 other NIN shows in October.

I'd never pay $115 for Alice, and he's one of my favorites.I'll be missing out on Cooper due to NIN, but that's OK with me.I've got the last Sabbath show in Philly this saturday, NIN at the Made In America Festival on September 1st, Avenged Sevenfold sometime in October, and 3 other NIN shows in October.

Black Sabbath Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I love Cooper, but I love NIN a bit more Don't worry, maybe we can catch him together next time he comes around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think the show I saw last year, tickets were somewhere around $70, maybe $80, but we were second row... I'm gonna have a bit of extra money, so I'll probably wait and see what pops up on the classifieds... The show last year was really good, my only issue is I don't want to pay $115 to see about 1/4 of his set be covers (since it's a continuation of Raise The Dead).I wish more bands would come around here, I hate having to travel to Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
