    I think they have good skills as musicians, but they're too derivitave. A lot of their stuff just sounds like they're trying to be Guns & Roses, Iron Maiden or Metallica.
    The nasally vocals, the image and their "look at how amazing we are" attitude (I saw them in the Olympia and was amazed by just how much they were able to pose) completely puts me off them.

    Very risky indeed what was the last Metal act to do both those arenas?
    Black Sabbath are doing one and theres tickets still available!
    Iron Maiden/Metallica/Rammstein only did one date on their last indoor tours here.

    England sales show their doin well sold out/close to sell out the 3 dates posted for there maybe get a few wiling to travel for a date here?

    Nothing about sale dates or anything, just the dates in the 'just announced' section of the magazine

    Will have to go to this :D

    Very risky booking such a large venue imo, but good for the fans as it wont sell out!

    If it's cheap enough, I might grab a ticket for old times sake. I haven't seen them since before the Rev died.

    Yeah, I was at that one as well. They were the first band I saw live, back around 2006 or 7, whenever it was they released the self-titled.

    Title track from the new album, "Hail To The King", can be heard on YouToob:



    Have to say I like it so far, based on a couple of listens.

    I like it, especially the chorus.
    Have they set a date for the album release? I haven't been following any news about it.

    I have to say, the drumming on Hail To The King is powerful & groove laden, but it's simple and effective, definitely excited for the whole album when it's released

    Some ''fans'' just can't be pleased, i think Arin's the perfect fit to fill Jimmy's shoes (Arin was actually recommended by Jimmy's drum tech)

    Can tell already this song is going to be epic live

    and that solo makes every cell in my body happy :pac:

    The lyrics make me want to watch Game of Thones ha



    The Rev comments were inevitable- comment sections on YT attract idiots at an alarming rate

    EDIT: above video is taken down, this song from official channel
