If this is the case for the rest of the shows, I'm not going.

Putting Coheed & Cambria on there is pretty brave. I love that band so I'm not going to complain but I really don't see how that would really work with the older crowd that H&H will bring.

WHAT THE FUCK. When the shit are older metal bands going to realize that there are great metal bands existing today that would be right up their fans' alley and deserve the exposure? Rather than these stupid modern kid metal bands that already are way too fucking popular to begin with.

Maybe some Iron Maiden and hope there is no more poultry thrown?

Please don't hate me I know there are tons of Iron Maiden people on this board. Just joking of course.

Yeah, I saw Maiden in 2006 on the AMOLAD tour with Bullet For My Valentine opening. It was retarded; I've never seen an opening band get treated worse. You'd think these older bands would learn that most of their fans don't want to hear cookie monster "sing".

Coheed aren't calling themselves metal, and their music honestly fits this pretty well.

Have you heard Coheed and Cambria before? Or Bullet for My Valentine (who I am certainly not defending)? Your anti-cookie monster bias is duly noted, but irrelevant given the fact that these bands sing cleanly, especially Coheed.

I really want to see this show and it's a week or so before I leave for college so I'm probably going.

I'm sorry, but this statement is wrong. Even if somehow, Coheed and Cambria sound anything like Dio-Sabbath, there are over 100 bands I could name off the top of my head who would be a much better band to be supporting this tour.
