Evanescence not coming here :(

stone_soup

i cant believe it! there leavin us out again! can anyone tell me why some bands just wont come here to play live?! its really disappointing...:mad::(

It is not the bands choice. It is Windups. Too bad they are not coming. I would love to see them, although from what I can see their new album is pretty much kack...
Still though, I would love to see them for the old stuff.

stone_soup

yeah but i dont see why wind-up wont set an irish date...it was the same old story when the dates for the fallen tour were announced...

Tar.Aldarion

I imagine they make an estimate of how much profit they will make and Ireland is not a good call.

If there is one in the UK and soembody will come with me I will go.

Are you sure you don't mean all of their stuff?

stone_soup

no...i think he means SHUT THE HELL UP!

Matthewthebig

So Tar meant to say "from what I can see their new album is pretty much SHUT THE HELL UP"?

That makes sense...

Nightwish

I'd go to the UK only for the fact that I have 4 gigs already to go to between now and Christmas. They might be back though...

Well, I hardly meant all of their stuff either.


I am going to try to convince this girl to go...she doesn't know she likes them yet.
<_<

So many concerts coming up. \o/

Bands don't make money coming here. Many bands would lose money coming here with the cost of transporting the gear, accomadation, staff etc, to be met by small crowds and low merch sales.

Or so I vaguely remember being told by some of the Pitchshifter crew years ago.

Autobot Killa

Evanescence should be in the pop section. They're useless.

Tar.Aldarion

So is your opinion. Case closed.

Motley Crue

Kickbacks, Album Sales, Profit Margins, Cost Ratio

Music is a buisness, sadly, thats how these bands operate

Just as an update, if their Paris performance is anything to go by you'll be a bit disappointed. Was there myself. Revelation Theory were much better. I used to be a diehard Ev fan, now not so much. Going Under and BMTL are still two of my all time favorite songs, but I'd be fairly sure that this album will be their last.

Shiminay

We should be thankfull...

Lacuna Coil wannabes and not very good ones at that.

The Volt

As far as I can see, Windup don't do Irish Gigs..

dr.bollocko

I thought this was a rock and metal forum. Not a Pussy electronic sounding over-produced linkin park meets the corrs bad musicians with sucky assed songs forum.....

Tar.Aldarion

Catchy name for a forum. Suggest it.

Nightwish

Yeah dr bollocko should be looking in the "near-mythical super villain, trained in numerous martial arts and with nipple related psychic abilities forum" for all music that conforms to his taste.

dr.bollocko

I see you are familiar with my work.

Tar.Aldarion

Paint my chicken coup!

dr.bollocko

Im not sure what that means but I hope its not debased and graphic.

Tar.Aldarion

Somebody will get it, somebody brilliant!
I will be here to congratulate them.

Nearly perfect, I will applaud, yet quietly.

Dark Artist

I have to defend Evanescence, they're the band that got me into metal and Amy Lee is an incredible singer/songwriter. This band is one of a kind. Really disappointed they're not performing here.
