Post CommentTurnstile is a top tier headliner on this. Hey insider, are they playing for $100 and have to sell 5000 tickets to friends and family or did management buy them on this? Take the L
would see 68' if they played a mixture of throwing myself, everything is alive and bless the martyr and no 68' songs
lol at turnstile having to be third act on Thursday (a throw away day of any four day festival). look at all that suppose too. This is just their labels last ditch effort
turnstile would be sandwiched in between suicide silence and movements on Sunday best case scenario LOL. still in the minor league playing Thursday zzzzz
Code orange would have been top three but they will be headlining a hometown basketball arena playing a 4 hour set with no support, something turnstile could easily do nowadays.
AFI under Turnstile, they could never sell out an arena after all these years. Oh wait...
I am consistently impressed by turnstile insiders sheer will to find ways to be a hater
I'm impressed by the Turnstile insider's Olympic level idiocy.
Turnstile is a top tier headliner on this. Hey insider, are they playing for $100 and have to sell 5000 tickets to friends and family or did management buy them on this? Take the L >> Turnstile Insider is you & get some new material. I told you this when you were Terror Accountant.
^^^ I mean look how stalkeresque you sound. One post after another about this band who isn't employing you & never will employ you cuz you make a fool of yourself with every post.
Is the bassest for Turdstyle still the most hated man West of the Mississippi??
LOL at the following: - This Turnstile hater/stan - 311 clone Turnstile & 311 themselves playing third billing & you know 311 may play a Turnstile cover & if they do it'll be hilarious news when you hear how much Turnstile sounds like 311 - Hoods FROM SACRAMENTO not playing thos yet again - Not a single hardcore band on this, not even hardcore users Knocked Loose or Vein.FM - No Scowl, Drain, or Sunami all three a reasonable drive to Sacto from - Godsmack as second billing on the maxim turnout day when they couldn't even sell enough tickets in South America Feel free to add more LOLs
The Turnstile Insider is the Vogel Accountant and took massive, massive losses with both lines of argument.
Is iit really that shocking South America and Europe aren't fans of white trash America godsmack? Doesn't change the fact the band sells tons of records here and dominate the radio. Turnstile on the other hand is successful worldwide
To the idiot posing as Turnstile superfan & superhater: Besides STFU, Turnstile's popularity is waning because this is the second fest they're playing where it's all washed up hasbeen bands from before 2000 & no up-and-comers. Furnace Fest now this. You play Furnace & Aftershock Fests when you're a young band (5 years or less) not when you've just played all three late night talk shows & been nominated for three Grammys. Playing under Incubus (LOL 1) & after The Cult (LOL 2) isn't exactly a slot a band with grand ambitions should play. Open for The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, or One Direction or even a dinosaur legacy act like Rolling Stones or U2. Avenged Sevenfold??? That smacks of take the money while you can.
anonymous 8 minutes ago Bob Vylan? Change your name you clowns. Yeah, that was the only thing that really jumped out at me here. Such a stupid name. Apparently they are a Hip Hop/Punk Rock duo from London. LOL
Clowns will pay for this wack shit? Holy moly
"That smacks of take the money while you can" Avenged sevenfold one article under posted two headline arena shows and have an album coming out with multiple soon-to-be mainstays on rock radio and play to fans who actually buy albums/tickets
Is iit really that shocking South America and Europe aren't fans of white trash America godsmack? Doesn't change the fact the band sells tons of records here and dominate the radio. Turnstile on the other hand is successful worldwide >> It is not "shocking" it is hilarious that Godsmack couldn't sell tickets in a continent starving & desperate for outside music yet they're second billing under Tool in Sacramento & I thought Mr.Conservative Republican Trump Supporter & Election Denier Sully Erna hated Liberal Hellhole California & he's playing its capital where the head liberal Governor Gavin Newsom hangs his hat? 😂😂😂 Godsmack "sold tons of records" 15-20 years ago & radio airplay means NOTHING in the age of streaming & YouTube likes & subscribers. Also they're breaking up as their last album did poorly after an initial burst of success & they announced it would be their last album before the flop. This is their swan song, thankfully.
That smacks of take the money while you can" Avenged sevenfold one article under posted two headline arena shows and have an album coming out with multiple soon-to-be mainstays on rock radio and play to fans who actually buy albums/tickets >>> Yeah, a fanbase who absolutely positively gives zero fu cks about Turnstile. If Turnstile supported A7S & each audience member was given a sack of fake heads of lettuce (so as not to waste real food) I guarantee Turnstile would be bombarded. Turnstile isn't really playing to anyone new. This fest is for oldass fans set in their ways about their music. Turnstile wants to gain Incubus & The Cult fans by virtue of playing between them & it's laughable. I don't fault them for doing Furnace or Aftershock cuz it's good not great money but you're playing to people who already know or know of you.
The Turnstile insider is redefining mental illness.
who is going to replace Pantera when they are removed from the festival because enough other acts threaten to pull out?
^^^ Idiot who thinks sieg heiling a crowd is cool. I would love for you to call me a "woke idiot" to my face.
"it's good not great money" I'll bite, seeing that I know what they actually get paid. Tell us?
^^ Tell us what they got paid for this, Turnstile Insider or are you gonna play they guy who slams yourself again? Wait aren't you replying to yourself yet again? If not give us a figure - what's their pay for Aftershock?
I looked at the paycheck of $4103 , I be certain that my friend woz like actually taking home money in their spare time at their laptop. . there friend had bean doing this 4 weeks less than and bought a great Bugatti Veyron . Open this web........... 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝟭𝟮.𝗰𝗳
who is going to replace Pantera when they are removed from the festival because enough other acts threaten to pull out? Pantera has been and will continue playing festivals with few issues save for in Germany, where they also booked headlining shows. They're touring with Metallica. They 100% aren';t getting cancelled and no other bands on this fest or any other is going to say sh!t.
Godsmack not being able to make it in a foreign market despite being huge here isn't really anything new. Billy Talent is on this fest pretty far down the lineup, and they're a direct support on mainstream european music festivals band, I think the last video I saw of them they were playing before Pink or someone comparable. They do arenas there and in canada, US they can barely pack a 1k cap and I think they haven't been here in like a decade because of it. So it goes sometimes.
"I would love for you to call me a "woke idiot" to my face." New York ALPHA is that you? Need my Gmail account so you can fly to California and kick my ass?
Godsmack/Turnstile arena co-headliner incoming
I saw billy talent open for Catch 22 and Spitalfield and nobody cared. The week before they were headlining HUGE rooms in Canada. Alexisonfire was the same thing in the states until recently
Only Turnstile insider could nitpick the band consistently getting bigger every week. Still waiting to hear the inside info on what they got paid for this.
^^^ Idiot who thinks sieg heiling a crowd is cool. I would love for you to call me a "woke idiot" to my face. ^ 5'4 jew
