What's wrong with Volbeat?

It's a very good, varied line-up in my opinion. Megadeth, Motorhead and Volbeat are all awesome. I'm not the biggest fan of Lacuna Coil but they are an interesting choice and something different. I must admit it took me a while to get into Volbeat, but they are a great band and are brilliant live.

Holy shit they're going to Kingston. Not that I would've gone anyway...but Kingston?  The K-Rock Centre is worse than the Memorial Centre - for all its flash and size the sound quality is terrible. Not a bad place to watch the roller derby chicks but not a good place for music. Just ask everyone who doled out 200 bucks for Elton John tickets when he dropped by.PS this line-up is garbage

Not the line-up I would've expected. I love Motörhead and I enjoy Megadeth and I don't care if Dave's tour but that is way fucked Motörhead opening for Megadeth, that shit should be the other way around. Motörhead has paid their dues and imo should always be the headliner. I love the shit out of Volbeat and I've seen them before and they do put on an amazing show. Lacuna Coil I don't particularly care for, at least not enough to throw any money at them. If Jag Panzer wasn't already broken up I'd say I'm surprised they didn't get invited, lol...\m/

Looks like a tour I won't mind missing at all. Some pretty boring live bands for the big stage. No thanks.

Lemmy & co. blew Megadeth out of the water when they opened for 'deth at Heavy TO. I expect the same to happen here...

Where the fuck is Universal City? Oh well, I guess trying to sell out the Warrior's stadium in oakland failed. This is the first time in recent memory that they haven't come to oakland and judging by the supporting cast outside of Motorhead, I won't be missing anything.

Written by Mad Mike on 02.11.2011 at 01:10 I haven't seen MH yet but MD was a fucking awesome live band. Then again they were playing R.I.P. in full so there was no filler. Really, their set sounded so good it could have been pulled off the album itself. Blown away.

Paradoxically, Volbeat and Motorhead opening for Megadeth and Lacuna Coil will treated as a side crap will gonna be the fun Anyways, Its Dave's show and with Endgame in already about to launch, they gonna lift this show to much high level of anticipation. Lacuna Coil will be the fun to watch out for in subdue of performing the great Megadeth and Motorhead

I can't believe they're playing in Kent.... it's literally a few blocks away from my place. I could walk there in a few minutes, but I probably still won''t go lol. Maybe if I have the day off Still haven't heard Volbeat

Written by Dangerboner on 03.11.2011 at 23:38 Meh, a lot of thrash fans seem to dig them but I personally never felt like they were anything special. Similar situation with Devin Townsend.
