Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 1117

I don't think it's been posted on here but Left Behind, I Am, Variais and Gideon have all posted tweets just saying "Kublai Khan" so maybe a tour?

 

Generic metalcore : the tour

 

You're in for a treat. Not sure what the crowd will be like since it's not one of their regular shows, but typically they are nuts live. In a 50 cap room, I can't even imagine.

 

this would be rad.

 

Fucking mayhem, 18 minute set. It was really cool, but there was too much crowd killing. I could hear fists hitting flesh like 10 seconds into their set

 

Yeah that sounds about right for a Vein set. Fuck crowdkillers though. If you want to hit each other, have at it, but leave the innocent bystanders alone.

 

I See Stars, The Word Alive, & Ashland got added to Our Last Night's tour this fall

 

Never thought OLN would be the relevant band out of those 3. Crazy how stuff turns out

 

Woof

 

That tour probably would've been really cool 10 years ago

 

How is I See Stars above The Word Alive though

 

Better music. More fans.

Really though, I don’t understand what The Word Alive has done wrong over the years, but they just don’t seem to have a large fan base. I See Stars has done a really good job selling tickets during their latest touring era despite making polarizing lineup changes. The Word Alive’s anniversary tour with Miss May i played the smaller venue within the same building that ISS played the larger room here in Detroit on their last headliner. I notice that TWA has done well with Spotify plays, but it doesn’t seem to always translate into ticket sales for them.

The real crime here is that Our Last Night is the band at the top of this tour bringing it all together. I’m legitimately annoyed that I’m going to have to give them my money if I want to see this show.... which I do because ISS/TWA is a dope combo.

 

you said it yourself, if their music was better more people would care

 

That lineup happened in 2012 with OLN as the support act. Wow.

 

I remember a coheadliner with I See Stars/The Word Alive and then ISS taking out OLN on a tour and then TWA taking out OLN on a tour. Don’t recall that all three bands tour together on one tour.

 

Wow TWA headlined the Santa Ana venue like 3 years ago and now they're on support

 

OLN has been continuously pumping out covers of popular music all these years. They had a big tour supporting State Champs recently. I See Stars hasn’t been a huge name but they have kept a steady fan base and I think people in that scene view New Demons as kind of a classic album now too. They supported Dance Gavin Dance last year. I couldn’t tell you the last big support or headlining tour TWA did. I dunno. It’s weird. When OLN announced the venues for this tour I was surprised in the first place because they were pretty big. Now it makes more sense, but still pretty crazy.

 

I wonder what it's gotta be like knowing most of your audience only really knows your covers. Like I for the life of me could not name you one OLN original off the top of my head, but I could probably name you 5 covers they've done (some might be guesses but I'm sure they'd be right). I mean I guess at the end of the day they're getting paid, just seems like it would be a boring career as a musician to be popular for other people's songs.

 

weird thing to assume based solely on yourself.. I would assume most people paying to go see them this tour know some of their originals as well

 

I wouldn't doubt that there is fans of their originals. But I'm saying a vast majority of their overall audience is probably more receptive to the covers than the originals. And that's purely because they mass produce these covers. I mean they must be doing something right to be headlining these venues and be supported by these bands that they supported just a few years ago. But I highly highly doubt they'd be this popular or headlining these venues if all they had behind them was their original music.

 

the word alive weren't originally on that tour, a band dropped and they were offered the slot.

 

Do you know what band was originally on it?

 

I heard Tilian was supposed to be on that tour but he announced a headliner so maybe that was it

 

Anyone manage to get a screengrab of The Maine's leaked dates?

 

i don't. i'm sorry!
