Machine Head -- Chicago, IL -- January 22nd, 2012

[Magson13]

This tour is copming here.... The day after my 21st birthday, even. But I cannot willingly put myself through a suicide silence set. It just isn't worth it.

Yeah, I was. Did I accidentally punch you? Sometimes I do that randomly, and feel like shit afterwards. What were you in?

And Machine Head pretty much sold out this venue, so I'd assume they're doing fine with medium-larger sized venues.

No I wasn't near the pit. I was in the back with my brother by the soundboard. He didn't want to leave the spot and it got very tight and crowded so I didn't move as well. I was wearing a black jacket and hoodie so I was basically unrecognizable.

I should also mention that In Flames tickets were $20 so I was glad that I was able to purchase them right after the show.

You were probably right near me. I can't picture you, though.

and JD, Machine Head exclusively drinks Grey Goose, so it was probably Grey Goose and Coke

They venue they're playing in Toronto on Saturday holds about 3,000 people. Now, how full it is I guess i'll find out, but I don't think they'd book a venue that big if they weren't able to get it to at least half capacity.

Yeah, you need to find a contact on the inside. Like me.

i agree 100% that suicide silence is one of the worst emo-core bands i've ever seen but i would just get beer or look at the merch for 40 minutes. Machine Head was worth it. Although I wish they would get rid of Darkness Within as well as Who We Are.

Bring back Wolves, None but My Own, Take My Scars, or even play Pearls Before the Swine off the new album.

Eh, I wouldn't want to show up late. I'm the kind of person who shows up an hour before doors open, to get up front on the rail. I've got something else going on that night anyways, which could potentially be even more fun than seeing Machine Head.

I was there for start of show and Darkest Hour was awesome. So between Darkest Hour and 3/4 of a good MH set, it was worth it. I didn't pay for a ticket but I think I heard they were like $25? I would pay that to see this show. If you're banging some hot chick instead, I would easily pass this show up.

It would cost me $20 after service charges. If it was free, I would consider going. But I can't bring myself to pay to see suicide silence.....
