Then go! They're seriously all over the place. Something like 30 shows nationwide and a couple in Canada. Ticket prices vary depending on where you wanna be naturally

The lawn is usually the best place which is why I love these shows, for 20 bucks, I'll go just to get in the mosh pit. Get off your ass and go!!!

Definitely. I've seen them twice and they blew me away both times. Best current band to see live, hands down.

As far as Mayhem Fest, sounds good, I'll have to try to check it out. Of course, I'll have to hit one of the California shows because nothing cool ever comes to Reno

I'm completely familiar with all the bands except Red Fang and In Flames. Machine Head is easily in my top 5 favorite bands, and I'm infatuated with Straight Line Stitch as of late, and also... Megadeth... MEGADETH.

Idk if Boise is any closer to you than California, but I think a show is coming there soon. I didn't know who Red Fang was either till my buddy sent me some youtube links and it turns out they're like a feel good stoner metal outfit and by the looks of their videos all they do is grow beards and drink gratuitous amounts of beer

Are you trying to convince people to go to Canada? You should be ashamed of yourself.

There's a decent metal scene in Canada, and uh maple leafs if you're into that sort of thing. Oh and free pharmaceuticals. When put in that perspective, America's hat doesn't sound that awful now does it?

Alright, get me the cheap Xanax and the maple syrup and get out of my face.

I find it to be a decent mix of radio bands, fan favorites and up and coming bands. With big festivals, you can't please everyone so it's just best to get a taste of everything really.
