Post CommentI've never walked out of as many sets from a band as I have Pallbearer. They always seem to find their way onto bills with bands tremendously better than them. Solid piss/food break kind of group.
Guess I'm riding up the road to Fresno for gear porn and shirtless smells.
I've never walked out of as many sets from a band as I have Pallbearer. They always seem to find their way onto bills with bands tremendously better than them. Solid piss/food break kind of group. Yeah, I saw them on that Decibel tour with At the Gates, Converge, Vallenfyre tour and man, were they a snooze fest. It's not like ATG are great any more, either. Whole thing was a bit of a let down but jesus, Pallbearer, zzzzz
never understood the draw to high on fire nor pallbearer. If you want to be a black sabbath cover band, just be a f*cking black sabbath cover band.
High on Fire is nothing like Sabbath? High on Fire are more similar to Motörhead. It's mostly fast paced metal with screamed vocals.
High On Fire channel Sabbath and Motorhead for sure, but also all sorts of other shit like Neurosis, Soundgarden, Celtic Frost, Immortal, etc. Dweebs love to make the low hanging fruit "no shirt" jokes and Pike sometimes loses me when he wants to say that holographic lizard entities are in control of this dimension because they stole some time crystal from the evil half of some Sumerian dual entity, but HoF rips in all sorts of ways and homeboys deserve respect.
People that feel lost and scared when a guitar is in their hands typically don't like HoF
if high on fire and mastodon got grammies then KsE, AiLD, nj and shadows fall def deserved one in 00s.
Guitarists that aren't even into heavy shit praise Matt's tone. Pallbearer is cool, but I better not see someone crying during their set. Y'all ain't Hank Sr.
If high on fire and mastodon got grammies then KsE, AiLD, nj and shadows fall def deserved one in 00s. ^nah, all those bands sucked.
This should be called " the overrated bands who should've quit years ago tour"
