if i get my pass ill go but otherwise all the bands i wanna see i can see at small clubs for like 5 - 7 bucks |
|
oh and im actually amazed burn in silence hasnt been listed |
|
And thus I will be only going for three bands again.
Gamma Ray, Dragonforce, and Into Eternity.
Is it me or does this thing become more and more medicore Metalcore from down the street each year. |
|
oh, I got it from another company before from massconcerts. |
|
Wow, not that I am going, but can you put tickets on layaway or do they have some sort of financing program. |
|
holy shit, 3 day pass = 109.50!!!! |
|
waste of money.
when are people gonna smarten up and stop feeding into this fucking bullshit.
Anyone who pays that obscene amount of money deserves nothing less than immediate death. |
|
109.50????? is that a joke????? what the fuck happened to this festival? this used to be THE festival. of course now it becomes a money grubbing crap fest |
|

Well, more people feed into ozzfest and their bill's are shittier and it's about the same price for 1 day and less bands. Even if no one from RTTP went to this fest it probably wouldn't put much of a dent into attendance. |

oh belive me, i completely agree with that statement.
|
|
I belive a protest, of sorts, is in order.
If/When any such campaign happens, its not directed towards any of the musicians playing, be it most of them suck, thats not the issue.
not that anyone cares what i have to say, but i think this is completely out of hand. |
|
Yeti said: 109.50????? is that a joke????? what the fuck happened to this festival? this used to be THE festival. of course now it becomes a money grubbing crap fest |
well, there are way more bands playing now hence why it's become a 3 day festival. I don't think I'm going to go unless I can get myself on the list again |
|
I was hoping to get the band onto this clusterfuck this year but it's looking like another "you have to be signed, or friends with scott lee deal" once again. |
|
i just wanna see that necrophagist tour and the cryptopsy tour. that's it. hopefully it can be on one day or two days. perhaps i'll just go to saratoga if worse comes to worse. |
|
maybe there will be a providence date for all of the above. |
|
I heard Kenny Lanning is putting on the fest this year. |
|
i doubt it cause the dates are already released, plus i wouldn't be surprised if contractually they can't play within 50 miles of worcester or something like that. maybe that's why cryptopsy worked in manch vegas last year. |
|
Tom, this a *cyber noogie* for you ; ) |
|
Gah, I think I'm going to pass on this. As much as I'd love to see Gamma Ray and Goat Horn, the rest of the lineup is basically metalcore 101 and a bunch of the tech death stuff that is also popular with the same crowd (not that I don't like Neuraxis, Cryptopsy etc myself). |
|
Dragonforce, Necrophagist, Suffocation, Exodus...okay I guess I'll go this year |
|
Crap, I just read back over the list and realized Wolf and Trouble are playing....now the temptation is growing. |
|
Gamma Ray, Exodus, Cryptopsy, Cattle Decapitation, Colin Of Arabia, Goat Horn, Hate Eternal, Immolation, Necrophagist, Neuraxis, Ramallah, Righteous Jams, Ringworm, Suffocation, Trouble.
these are the only bands i have any interest in watching and i am sure they will be spread out through the three days. i probably wont be there unless i sneak in. |
|
i heard theres already a myspace group for it this year... |
|
so far i am not going. they have to add some of my favorite bands to get me there this year. there's a small handful of bands that i want to see, but i've seen most of them already. |
|
am i way out of touch or something? i have never heard of most of these bands. |
|
Holy Shit!!! TROUBLE!!! YYYYYYYYYEEEESSS!!! Righteous Jams, Neuraxis, and Byzantine are the only others I would see. Where's Glass Casket? |
|
wow, 6 bands i like and a whole lotta gay. |
|
i'm gonna go.
fuck it, few less beers a night til then will be worth it. |

maryland death fest. the illest fest ever.
|
|
wow, 2 bands I'd want to see, and they've both been around for over 20 years...gayest line-up ever. |
|
Necrophagist, Cryptopsy, Exodus and BULLET FOR MY VALETINE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! |
|
2 bands that I'd like to see: Lacuna Coil and Exodus. Seen both before. (Exodus in 1990, TYVM - Pantera, Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies at The Channel in Boston.) The rest of the lineup I honestly couldn't care less about. $109.50 for two bands is a pretty shitty return on a pretty hefty investment. I'll pass, thanks. |
|
I think I'm all set this year. I'm not even going to try getting a photo pass. I'd love to see Exodus but not at the expense of sitting through all that shit.
I'm mailing in a demo tomorrow just to say I tried, however. Too bad, I do like going at least one day to this fest, but there's just no way this year. First year I've stayed home, ever. It's overpriced, 90% metalcore, and the fest is too fucking big for the palladium. If you're going to rip people off, you should at least allow them 3 inches of breathing space while inside. You can't even get to the upstairs bands. Plus, that many smelly mod kids in one tiny building? Grrrross. |
|
yea, this fest is definitly a better lineup this year, but i doubt i'm goin three days....gettin too old and too broke for that
i'll most likely just go on the day FASSW plays and be done with it
p.s. Premonitions of War needs to play this |
|
swamplorddvm said: Necrophagist, Cryptopsy, Exodus and BULLET FOR MY VALETINE!!! WOOOOOOOO!!! |
Id rather save my $$ and go see Exodus when they play at Marks showpalace on May 1st instead.Fuck this SHITFEST!!!!!
|
|
Exodus, Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Black Dahlia Murder are the only bands I want to see right now. That's not enough to justify the ticket price, especially if the bands aren't all playing the same day. |
|
I'll go the day Dragonforce are playing, and I heard that they are headlining Sunday, so if true, I hope they put together a good line up for Sunday. |
|
there's always one band each day that I actually want to see, and a ton of horseshit metalcore bands.
the nemhf is starting to piss me off. |
|
Let's burn scott lee til he signs good bands, and or try to raise money for a real new England metalfest.
Sunday is ussually the only day worth going. I hope that dragonforce, Gamma Ray, and Into Eternity all play on one day, so far that is all I want to see. |
|
Dragonforce...on Sunday...of course.
I'm demanding that Sunday off this year. Or I'm closing the store the second I get to work. |
|

HOLY SHIT...DID I SEE TROUBLE MENTIONED?! Okay...the shitcore bands are DEFINITELY worth putting up with...for fucking Trouble, and Dragonforce, and Gamma Ray, and Exodus, and Cryptopsy, and Neuraxis, and Into Eternity, and Suffocation, and Immolation, and Necrophagist, and Arsis, and Byzantine... |
|
...and is that Wolf the Swedish Wolf? God damn, that would fucking own. I was OBSESSED with them back when Black Wings came out. I listened to Venom a fucking billion times. |
|
I'm pretty sure it's the Swedish Wolf. Maybe they're on tour with Gamma Ray. |
|
It's cool Arsis is playing. |
|
there are a lot more bands i'd like to see on this year's fest than last year, a few of which i do not want to miss, but if the good bands are spread throughout all 3 days and i can't afford it, i'll suck it up and just save all my money for MDF. |
|
Lacuna Coil, Arch Enemy, Exodus, Cryptopsy, Alarum, God Forbid, Hate Eternal, Into Eternity, Necrophagist, Ramallah there are the only bands that id want to see, and ive already seen most of them many times, i dont think its worth it |
|
Wolf rules. I've seen them though. Same with Lacuna Coil, Into Eternity AND Trouble...so I'm still not going. Plus Into Eternity is SO disappointing live, their new singer is a schmo.
Exodus is still the only seller for me. |
|
I don't see which bands are playing on which days...where are you guys seeing that? |
|
i would go to this if tom jones headlined. |

KeithMutiny said:
hahah oh, come on keith, just don't go.
I gotta say you cannot see 90% of the bands on this fest for 5-7 dollars locally like you stated. It's a festival and there are 75+ bands but probably will be close to 100 by the time the full lineup is announced. So you figure around 30 bands per day. Other shows with just 4-5 bands can be $10-15. So by your standards lets say it's $7 to see 4 bands, well multiply the amount of bands by 8 = 32. So then 8 x $7 would come out to $56 if you were charging $7 per 4 bands...$56 x 3 days = $168. So by the amount of bands on this fest, $109 is actually cheaper than you would charge
p.s. I do think that $110 is a lot for 3 days of shows, but I'm not going to go on strike or something. You gotta figure a lot of these bands are probably getting paid in the thousands to play. |
|
They need more Death Metal/less Metalcore bands on this fest to make it more interesting.Until that happens I wont go to these Shitfests. |
|
thats ok, you can support big buisness.
kill the little guy, right?
capitalism at its finest, god bless america!!!!
SELL EVERYTHING!!!! WOOOO HOOO!!!! |

like I said, I'm not going unless I can get on a list.
How is this killing a little guy? I don't know of anyone else who has the capability or capacity to hold such a fest in the tri-state area. I can't imagine scott lee makes much money. |
|
RustedAngel said: I don't know of anyone else who has the capability or capacity to hold such a fest in the tri-state area. |
Thats my point, they realise this,
and in turn cornered the market and can set a price wherever they so desire, thats my argument. When is enough going to be enough?

|
So you're saying if they were charging $7 for a 3 day pass you wouldn't have started an anti-nemhcf myspace group? With that amount of bands, especially national/worldwide acts on it I'm sure it costs more than we think to put something like that on.
|
|

When it officially sells out.

yes, i am saying that. well aware it would cost more than that to run this show, but not what they're asking.

how do you know? how many new england metal & hardcore fests have you put on in your lifetime?
|
|
I can understand boycotting years ago when it really sucked, but there are actually a strong number of bands I want to see. If you want to get more attention to the boycott, just invite some nazis, that's what I did in 03. |
|
A myspace group is not going to effect the turnout of this fest. I look at the members of the group already and I don't think I've seen any of them at any previous metalfests.
If you can't afford it, just don't go. Continue seeing localized shows and the larger nationals whenever they come around.
Josh, I remember the Nazi's in 03' you bastard! |
|
holy shit, i can't believe ATR isn't playing! |
|
so, rather than accepting the fact someone would like to change any event to help everyone... youd rather just go oh, o well, and roll over and die?
thats fine.
and josh, you missed the point of my means.
I can very easily afford to go, its the principle.
|
|
ya and now made aware vendor booths are 1500...
come on, you dont see this as trying to hose people for everything they can get? |
|
I heard some jerk named Jeremy is trying to get any band stuff into swag bags for the fest! what a prick he is! who does he think he is! screw him!! Why is he think he is such a nice guy! He's just out for himself .. ! hehe |
|
BornSoVile said: holy shit, i can't believe ATR isn't playing! |
i almost shit my pants in shock when i saw they weren't playing. at least all the other bands they sound like will be playing so no one will miss them. |
|
maybe jeremy is the little guy? although i heard he can eat anyone under the table! |
|
KeithMutiny said: ya and now made aware vendor booths are 1500...
come on, you dont see this as trying to hose people for everything they can get? |
dude, it's a business. If the palladium didn't charge for someone to setup a booth there they'd be giving out space for free. (Does your landlord let you live rent free? no Do american legions let you put on shows in their space for free? no) If you're booth is smart then $1500 is NOTHING because you'll make that back and THEN SOME. You think they want a bunch of little weener's who don't know what they're doing taking up space at such a popular event? hellz no.
If you figure 3,000 kids go to metalfest, even if only 300 kids buy cd's from you at $9/ea you're making making your $1500 back plus another $1200 which is a total of $2700.

give me a break
look at how many bands are playing
if you're going to bitch what about ozzfest?
the cost for 1 ticket is more than a 3 day pass |
|
rusted angel made a million great points in this thread |
|
oh and RETURNTOTHEPIT and DEFYUNLEARN are 2 sponsers..you going to boycott rttp too now?
|
|
the point of my statement was that perhaps with the price on the vendor's increase, you still need to raise the ticket prices to such and obscene amout?
I have no problem with them charging the vendors, the vendor can easily make the money back, plus some, that has nothing to do with what im saying.
so then, how many vendor licenses are issued? x $1500 + % of merch? + food/bar sales? + ticket prices? = ?
|
|
succubus said: oh and RETURNTOTHEPIT and DEFYUNLEARN are 2 sponsers..you going to boycott rttp too now?
|
well i almost forgot.
+ sponsor money = ?
|
|
i just belive it could be done with much less of a financial agenda in mind.
apparently you people think otherwise. |
|
my reason for not going is because the lineup sucks. |
|
i honestly dont mind the line up, its better than it has been for a while, in my personal opinion. |
|
i liked last year's lineup better. king diamond, behemoth, dark tranquillity, obituary. this year's is better than 2 years ago when evergrey was the only band i wanted to see and they cancelled. i was so pissed. |
|
so what is the boycott about? |
|
well i never mentioned the word boycott.
but the point is the insane prices, and that its turning into an investment, rather than an art expression. |
|
boycotting is a bit extreme. if you dont agree with the ticket prices, just dont go. |
|
KeithMutiny said: not that anyone cares what i have to say, but i think this is completely out of hand. |
|
|
so your protesting it cause it's expensive. okay i understand that. it will probably cost you more to go to MDF with gas/hotel. I know they're not directly related to the fest but why not protest that too? and like tom said, you should make one about ozzfest. consistency is the big ethical rage nowadays. |
|
im not going to MDF, though it is a great line up, because of the money as well.
as for ozzfest, perhaps in time, but this is my issue at hand because the initial shock was so disturbing.
and dont try and lecture me on consistancy. |
|
yikes. I'm just not going because I'm claustrophobic, poor and don't like shitty metalcore. I'm not burning my bra. |
|
They were awesome live, too. |
|
I was a huge Trouble fan.. I think I stillhave 'the skull' on vinyl |
|
the most confusing part of this thread is that $1500+$1700=$2700. that really cofuses me to the point of not reading past there.
but dudes, go or don't go, this festival will still sellout like it does every year. this year there is A lot less "bullshit" music than other years. there are a lot more "surprises" in the line up that are really fucking awesome. yes the price for all 3 days is a little much when you look at it, but at least it's not just the same shadowsfall line up that used to happen every year. I think this is a very strong year. and the whiners will always find a reason to bitch about this shit. do me a favor, go to milwaukee metal fest and then come back and tell me nemhf sucks. you want the worst fest ever.. "treat" you sell to mmf. worst thing ever. |
|
Trouble are fucking legends, are you telling me the band playing the Fest is another, with the same name?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Shouldn't they be called "The Trouble"? |

Let's be fair though. Some of the earlier Milwaukee metalfests (late 80s, early 90s) were absolutely phenomenal, with kickass lineups. They suck today (I agree). Also, you have to give Koshick credit, as scummy as he may be, he kept doing them even during the 'dead years' of metal (early to mid 90s). Metal is doing extremely well now, and New England is one of its hotspots, so of course a fest like the NEMHF is going to be successful. |
|
I'm not sure which trouble this is... there are 3 troubles I can think of.
the trash metal on, the metal one, and the old school hardcore one. I think the hardcore one is the only one still around.
I've seen their name on things lately. |

The doom metal Trouble is back together, from what I've heard. Which is why I originally believed it was them playing the NEMHF :( I lose...
If there's a way to confirm this though....someone please do. It might make a difference whether I drop $30-odd bucks to go see one of the days.
|
|
Im willing to bet its not "The Trouble" from Boston.
but then again, you never know, they been talking about a reunion for a while, and bridge nine just re released thier cd last summer...
but i guessing its more the metal, trouble. |
|
and death threat... thats not the powerviolence skater west coat death threat is it?
or is it the local death threat? |
|
Honestly, I'm on the Reverend's side. This fest isn't that bad at all, and just because you actually have to pay a little bit of money people are getting all upset. If one day is only 40 bucks, that's way less than some shitty Ozzfest tickets or even something good, like Slayer tickets. So maybe the local bands you see for 5 or 10 bucks are for ONE DAY going to cost you 3 or 4 times more, think of all the big names from all over the damn world that are playing at this thing. If it's too much, suck it up and wait til you can see your favorite bands at a shitty local club for 5 or 10 bucks again. |

|
ahahahah oops, It was the end of the day and I was getting rowdy.
|
|
I say it's business as usual. If you like a lot of the bands, it's worth the asking price. If not, don't go. The Palladium is paying for it, and they pick the bands. That is the reality. Life goes on. I think 'boycotting' it is just stupid, it's not like it's mandatory to attend the NEMHC Fest.
I've always wanted to do a large fest, though not of this scale, I did put on one Stormfest way back in 1999 in the Lawrence mill of all fucking places. I think I'd aim for a higher % of black, death, doom, thrash, and speed metal, but that's just my preference. Some of my band are going to try our hands at some booking coming up, so we'll see where that leads. |

when I was talking "troubles" the metal trouble was the doom metal one.
I was thinking the one of nemhf was the hardcore one since I thought they actually were doing a reunion (since panic is also doing reunions) |
|
im gonna wait until the schedule is posted and then see if I wanna go. |
|
The Trouble (Boston) was and still is one of the most important bands in my life. I have all the 7"s and Nobody Laughs Anymore's original press on GMM. I think the only show they played outside of new england was the GMM Beer Olympics in Atlanta. Fuck it, I'm putting the Crime and Punishment slab on right now. WE ARE THE BLOOD!!!
I <3 You Keith. |
|
SATURDAYS... KIDS... NOTHIN ELSE TOO DO... WASTED YOUTH!
haha, fuckin right.
and yes, I was at thier last show at the greek american club in central square in the summer of 99. The nazi skins showed up and started a fight and the cops busted it and started arresting everybody. Ducky boys played, anti-hero, and patriot never got to go on... that was a fun show though, it was fuckin packed. |
|
Hypersolid is on the fest. Awesome for those guys!!! Buddys of ours. |

BornSoVile said: holy shit, i can't believe ATR isn't playing! |
atari teenage riot? I actually wanna see them. |
|
...and I just now notice that Tom's favorite amp company is sponsoring this year. Or "presenting". Whatever. |
|
I saw most of atari teenage riot (with out the carl crack, even though he was still alive) and it sucked. it sucked so bad that I left.
Alex Empire can suck a dick.
he was all painted green.
All I wanted was merbow to come out and play and I couldn't take it anymore so I left. |

DrinkHardThrashHard said: the_reverend said:I'm not sure which trouble this is... there are 3 troubles I can think of.
the trash metal on, the metal one, and the old school hardcore one. I think the hardcore one is the only one still around.
I've seen their name on things lately. |
The doom metal Trouble is back together, from what I've heard. Which is why I originally believed it was them playing the NEMHF :( I lose...
If there's a way to confirm this though....someone please do. It might make a difference whether I drop $30-odd bucks to go see one of the days.
|
They are, I saw the doom-Trouble in Ohio, although it was a couple years ago. That'll be terrible if it's some less-worthy Trouble. |
|
I'm happy All That Remains isn't playing, I'm sick of taking pictures of that fucks huge nostrils. That band sucks out loud. |
|
dreadkill said: i would go to this if tom jones headlined. |
the rev needs to take pics of a tom jones show sometime. |
|
i wanted to see tom jones, but that fuck charges way too much for tickets. |

hahaha, yeah, that dude's snookerholes are humongous. you could lose your camera in there or possibly get tangled in his nose hairs and be forced to listen to bad metalcore and survive on boogers. |
|
haah, i want to se goat horn real bad. |
|
i was pretty nonchalant about this fest until Suicide Silence got added today...
so now i HAVE TO go
i'm pumped |
|
oh my god, no way. yeah who cares. |
|
yea, Suicide Silence is this band from CALI that i've been fiending to see since i first heard em. Their EP is brutal shit. I mean, they're no Throwing Shrapnel but who is. IF we gauged everything by that we wouldnt listen to anything. Not even Throwing Shrapnel. |

tom jones would still be at the top of every playlist. |
|
i'm still holding out hope for tom jones to headline this. if he doesn't, i definitely won't go. |
|
i checked out suicide silence the other day...i liked em a lot...everyone else in my band bashed em. thanks for being on my side moe |
|
every song just sounds the same to me....they're not bad. I just don't get all the buzz. Oh and the drummer inexplicably wears a mask. |

oh snap you sure called me out by using my bands name in there as a reference point.
and yeah id rather listen to my band anyday over anything you like. scenester |
|
yeah, i heard about overcast. awesome. |
|
overcast is awesome!
I shot there first reunion and one of the pictures ended up in the shadows fall cd |
|
The Scenester: Well you know something dude, I travelled to the highest balconies. I travelled to the lowest mosh pits. I've been through the sweatiest basements and the most crowded merch tables. But you know something brother, when I hear that there is a bicker going on on a RTTP thread, well I just gotta call it out DUDE! You know, it's been a long time for the Scenester. For years we have dominated the shows we have gone to by coming our hair over and wearing the tightest, cheapest clothes money can buy...for the third or 4th time.
I don't know where I was going with this, but I mean...come on. |
|
I am curious what you would be like if wrestling had never touched your life. |
|
indubitably, now where do i throw my 25cents |
|
like this:
|
|
wow....that picture came to you quickly..... |
|
I'd probably be a lot cooler |

they bug me sometimes with their breakdowns cause they have a lot of really good riffs otherwise but i could get into them live. |
|
oh aaron, i asked S for a banner and she just sent it so if you wanna put it up you can just use my url.
Also, i added the MD fest one too using your URL

I scanned this thread so I might be saying what someone else already said, but the NEMHF is a business, not a DIY expression sort of thing. They are marketing to younger kids who spend their parents money. The price really isn't that outrageous considering they have the whos who of big business metal and hardcore altogether. The vendor price seems a little high to me, but like someone else said they have limited space and don't want people like me taking up space with my crap. Having vendors everyone knows is an added attraction. |
|
is there a list of who is playing what day yet? |
|
there are some hints on the .com |
|
Overcast is playing Saturday. I'll be there. |
|
aaron, i can't read that banner of yours at all. |
|
yeah, I need to re-do that. |
|
on the site it saids that krank amps is gonna be giving away one of their half stacks thats like $3000 right there and thats a good chance since there is gonna be like 3000 people thoughout the weekend |
|
lucky me, I'm in without paying the $109. Not sure if I'll be hitting up the full 3 days though. |
|
aaron, I don't understand why they don't display your banner at least a tiny bit bigger rather than resizing it so you can't read it, I mean christ, you're there more than almost anyone.
|
|
It's looking good so far that I might get my pass. Pretty sweet! |
|
for those of us that have to pay i wish they gave a list of bands with the days they were playing so we can pick and choose ( other than the headliners) it sorta sucks how they do things.... hellfest annouced which days what bands were playing... (even though hellfest got cancelled it was still a better idea other than guessing what day which bands are playing) |
|
Yeah if I don't get my pass, I was planning to only attend one day. But I think they KNOW that's everyone's plan, so they wait until AFTER tickets go on sale to announce it or something. |
|
probally cause thats the size that the rev paid for i don't know |
|
I think it's Dragonforce's first US show, it'll be interesting to see what they can pull of live. Those guitarists are sick. |
|
I don't care about them, I hate the whole LOOK HOW FAST I CAN PLAY thing, for all forms of metal. Write a song I can remember five minutes later and we'll talk.
I WILL watch them though, just because I think they're aliens. |
|
Is there a list of exactly whos playing what day up yet? |
|
Did you go to the metalandhardcore.com website? It usually gets posted there when they get things settled down. As for lineup, where are the black metal and doom metal bands? Arsis would be cool to see to meet up with Mike as well as see Lacuna Coil, Exodus, Suffocation and several others but still a semi-crappy lineup. TOO MANY DAMN HARDCORE/Emo-CORE bands...they should drop Metal from it and just do a freaking Hardcore show, then a METAL fest....
|
|
I agree. I don't understand the whole metal and hardcore unity thing. We don't generally like each other, can't we just leave it at that? |
|

|
The fact that Chimaira is headlining over Exodus makes me die a little inside. I understand...popularity...but still.
Hope I get the pass, I want to see bands on all 3 days. |
|
Can anyone confirm if Wolf is playing on the 30th, with Gamma Ray/DragonForce/GoatHorn? If that's the case, I'm going to go that day. |
|
id go if crotchduster headlined all three days |
|
I'd go if could make make bands die at will with my as yet untapped psionic powers. |
|
okay, I'm an overcast fan, but for them to be headlining above bands like Suffocation is just wacky. Besides, the overcast reunion already happend like 4 years ago! |
|
If Dragonforce, Into Eternity and Black Dahlia play on the same day I will be less broke than I very well could be. |
|
RustedAngel said: okay, I'm an overcast fan, but for them to be headlining above bands like Suffocation is just wacky. Besides, the overcast reunion already happend like 4 years ago! |
agreed |
|
well if you saw all the bands seperately it would total over $400 so I would be happy with the price of the 3 day pass and just suck it up and fucking deal with it instead of complaining |
|
yea, but i would also go on record saying your an idiot and thats without hiding.
so i guess we're even. |
|
it seems to me that black my heart and misery signals may be added to sunday.... look at their tour... |
|
If they were giving out tickets I might go |
