Personally, I’d love to see them, but won’t be attending the BDO due to it being sold out, and the rest of the lineup being generally pretty crappy.
To Mastodon – please consider doing your own tour next time around. I’d really like to check you out but won’t spend $150 to do so, nor will I go and see you if you’re the support act of another band I’m not so interested in seeing.
For fuck sake. This is not the news I wanted. My reason are exactly yours hellboy for not seeing them. You think they would be big enough by now that they could do their own tour of australia. I really wanted them to come with their own show, and do a 2 hour type set with the whole latest record and then songs from the rest. Like they’ve been doing in the US. Ugh next time I guess.
