The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

I love varied lineups like that. Fuck ever going to Vegas though.

 

RE UK Deathfest, hoping they announce some good names straight off. Went to Netherlands Deathfest a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The new record by …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead is really good. They kind of fell off my radar and I haven’t listened to them for years but stumbled across this new one on Spotify that was released a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised by it.

They’re playing at Night And Day in Manchester, a pretty small venue, so I reckon that could be cracking

I wish I’d gone to the Source Tags & Code anniversary tour they did a year or two ago. 

[The Gaffer]

Fucking hell, what a bonkers lineup. I've never seen something so varied with such a committed thread of dark bands at the same time. 

[SuperBacon]

Don’t listen to a lot of metal these days but the Loathe album that came out today is an absolute belter.

The Spanish Love Songs one is too.

Agreed, I was 13 when dookie came out & I loved it, insomniac was brilliant too and on the very rare occasions I listen to green day now I pick that over dookie, nimrod was still good but heading in the wrong direction then they turned shit, then they turned into U2. Now I don't know what they're trying to do but it's not the short snotty -but makes you think stuff of old, it's just shit unoriginal rock pop

The new Green Day album is a belter !

More like an ‘England Tour’ by the looks of it

I don't really care for punk but I liked them way back in the day, might go to the Newcastle one depending on ticket price.

Reading/Leeds have got the Rage Against the Machine headline slot. Can't but feel they look a little out of place on this bill though...

 

[wordsfromlee]

A lot of kids are having a meltdown over this announcement and it’s hilarious. It also drew my attention to the phrase “dark fruits Twitter” which is great. 

[Kaz Hayashi]

Jesus, it looks like a terrible event. I was lucky enough to see Rage at Leeds 2000, which also included Deftones, Foos, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, early Muse, Beck and early Queens of the Stone Age amongst others. Oasis also headlined, so maybe Zack and Liam are bezzies.
We were properly spoiled back then though, what a line up.

and... Daphne & Celeste. Poor lasses lasted a song and half before security had to safely escort them to the back.

[Merzbow]

Not having Jpegmafia, Slowthai and Denzel Curry on the same stage is a missed opportunity.
