[JudynTX]

[Viva Las Espuelas]

[Viva Las Espuelas]

my friends who saw dethklok were kinda disappointed. should be worth it for the others though.

yeah i don't know how they're going to pull that off, but honestly they're at the bottom of the list of who i want to see.

[mrsmaalox]

I can think of many others I'd rather be thrashed by.

And they ain't on that list!!!:toast

[Wild Cobra]

Roseland's a pretty small venue in Portland, the fist show on the list. They even aren't on the schedule (http://www.doubletee.com/rose_schedule.html).

I might have to check this out when they're in Philly.

I actually do want to see Dethklok if Gene Hoglan is still drumming for them. That might be up in the air though since he's reportedly in Fear Factory now.

yeah. i'm not that all into dethklok but hoglan is a metal icon. i'd like to see him live, but how are they going to pull this off. will they play behind a screen that shows the cartoon? who knows. that would suck if it's just a recording. fear factory is now tied up in legal issues over raymond and christian being informally outed of the group, so hoglan may be available. hoglan is light years about raymond by the way. dino paired with hoglan should be pretty good.

What do you mean pull it off? I am pretty sure they have toured before.
I would like to go but I am not a fan of the VW theater here in Houston

I'm really interested to hear the pairing of Dino and Hoglan. I think Fear Factory had a noticeable drop in quality once Christian took over on guitar.
Dino's tone is outstanding and his riffs seemed a lot more original than what Christian was doing.
