Every Time I Die - Radical (October 22, 2021) • Page 78

I saw ETID there in 2018…did something happen at that show I don’t remember?

 

I think you're overestimating ETID and underestimating AOF

 

Kids were launching off the stacks. This was well before 2018.

Just looked it up. 2012. Every Time I Die Setlist at Durty Nellie's, Palatine

 

Pretty much kidding here but I’m definitely worried about him despite the bad joke, he has been in this weird head space for a while now and while yes we don’t fully know what’s going on, it is worth noting that the entire band was willing to leave because of him and prevent him from claiming the band. Something definitely is up with him and while I’m not gonna make any accusations about his mental health or make claims about what he should do, I really hope he turns out alright.

 

perhaps

 

Did someone say AOF announced a new album?

 

Don’t do that to my heart.

 

It’s called Otherness. Out in June.

 

All ETID all the time for the next few weeks.

Hate that I wasn't able to see them one last time

 

I would have totally agreed with you but I was recently proven wrong about how big AOF is so I guess we'll see lol


I was only going to the UO tour for ETID so I hope it's someone good that replaces them but also probably won't go if it's not so not a big deal either way to me

 

Fuck me.

 

Yeah, that’s all fair for sure. There definitely has to be something wrong on Keith’s end if even Mitch and Goose are leaving.

More than the band getting back together - I just hope all the guys make up. Kind of breaks my heart thinking about Keith never talking to his own brother or Andy.

 

AOF is very big up here. I’d say they’re a tad bigger than ETID in the US, but probably a bit below UO

 

this is probably where I'm at

 

i don't want to speak for canada but UO is unquestionably the biggest of the three in the states. they cracked into the mainstream in a way neither of the other bands have

 

It felt like a huge scene moment when Define The Great Line came in at #2 the week it came out. Lot of talk on the site at the time.

Would have never guessed Alexisonfire was that big in the states, but maybe the Dallas Green connection would explain it

 

Considering AOF has played very limited shows in the states post reunion and their popularity was dwindling here before they went on Hiatus, I’d definitely say ETID would have been a bit bigger draw for support. AOF can draw at festivals where people will travel to see them since they don’t play shows often but I don’t know about an entire tour. AOF was never a huge band in their heyday. I saw them mostly supporting other bands. They didn’t do a lot of headliners before the farewell tour that was in smaller venues. Spiritbox has much more momentum than either and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were bumped up to direct support.

 

It has been largely respectful

 

Maybe they'll work it out if the Bills win the Super Bowl

 

Still kinda bewildered by Matthew Lillard being caught up in this like the rest of us

 

The glory I had witnessed was just a sleight of hand
These hearts cannot be salvaged these bones cannot withstand
I have either been forgotten or I was never seen
Now I’m in the negative space between

The dusk is so much clearer than the dawn had ever been
I’m a ghost I’m a ghost and yet…

Fuck man.

 

I think you're done here.
Standing ovation.

 

on this same note:

best guest vocalist line up OF ALL TIME

GLASSJAW
MY CHEM
GASLIGHT ANTHEM
DEADGUY
PANIC AT THE DISCO
THE CHARIOT

just to name a few off the top. Truly the GOATs

 

Remembering the unhinged show they played in Santa Ana in 2017 with no opener. Just two sets with a 30 minute break in between. Some UFC fighter was tossing people off the stage and Stevis from Chariot/Fever did guest vox on Floater.

 

That is quite the set

Ebolorama is such an awesome opener and I've never even seen them play Kill The Music so that's also awesome
