The show at the Roxy will probably be with the balcony closed and floor only, then it's a little smaller sized venue than the Masq.
The Porcupine Tree show was like that - the floor was completely full but the top was closed off and looked to be around 5-600 people or so. I think Obituary and Napalm Death shouldn't have a problem drawing close to that on a friday night. Hell, I thought there were like maybe 20 people in the state who knew about Porcupine Tree but it was shoulder-to-shoulder people the whole night.

I havent heard High on Fire in a couple of years. And as far as the red chord, i used to be really into them ever since their demo came out in 2001. I liked the first CD, but i think the new cd is garbage. maybe its not completely emo, but its still not metal. however, i would consider all the other bands on the tour to be emo, like every time i die and chariot. furthermore, i call it an emo show bc like 1000 high schoolers in skin tight jeans, white belts, and emo haircuts will be in attendance at that show, and that is ultimately why i would call it an emo show.
I don't think High on Fire has changed much...Matt wrote:holly wrote:High on Fire and The Red Chord are emo?Matt wrote:actually the Obituary show has been booked longer. those tour dates were released and up on obituary's site long before i read about the emo show at the masquerade that night.

When I first heard about this tour, I was really confused as to why they and The Red Chord were on it...
I still love The Red Chord.
The new album isn't necessarily "them," per se, but I still think it's a solid record.
The term emo is fucking stupid, any way you cut it.
Have you ever even heard The Chariot?
I don't like them as a band, but it's certainly not emo.
The kind of kids that go to see them (and especially them, sicne they are a Christian band) is irrelevant, since bands like that have an automatic fan base in Christ.
ETID is the real anomaly on this show.
They may as well be a rock band, yet every aspect of heavy music promotion jocks them as the next coming.
I remember seeing them for the first time in 2001 when they were a solid band.
Shit like that breaks my fucking heart.
& again, the kids that go to see ETID is irrelevant to heavy music, because they are no longer a heavy band.
The last time I saw them, they had stopped playing shit off of their EP, played only like two songs from Last Night in Town, and played all shit from Hot Damn!
At that point, they had lost me.

Are all the non-label companies like McGathy, Syndicate and Skateboard working on that album? In the case of those companies, they're just paid to promote them that way regardless of how good the band is.

As an aside, when I used to do radio, Mercury (or whichever label it was) hired ALL the promotion companies to work Kid Rock and that fucking album skyrocketed to the top of all the college loud rock/metal charts! And it was shit!!
