Also, where did you get this info from, I couldn't find it on their myspace or tour schedules

[Roton7]

KSE.. no thanks

[unit254]

Also, where did you get this info from, I couldn't find it on their myspace or tour schedules

TDWP posted about three bulletins with the dates, on MySpace.

[unit254]

Why Does Tdwp Hate Cleveland So Much!

They're even from Dayton, Ohio! It's weird they skip their own state.

[Witness]

They're even from Dayton, Ohio! It's weird they skip their own state.

Well, they came to Ohio itself twice last tour...just not Cleveland...which is like really northeastern Ohio...as opposed to the two other dates which were both over four hours away.

So when they come to Ohio they don't come near Cleveland, so then their Ohio quota is probably filled so that's why I'm guessing there isn't a Cleveland date!

[unit254]

WHOA DUDE.

They took down the dates and bulletins!?!?!

It was there a half hour ago!!!

[Witness]

Haha wow.

But if these ARE true...they are ALSO coming to Ohio TWICE on other tours that are like still FAR AWAY haha.

[unit254]

What the fuck? They took down all the dates and every bulletin they posted about the tour.

[sweepthenation]

Now its on the fornt page of ap.net though

[unit254]

Now its on the fornt page of ap.net though

Dude that is weird. Why would they randomly take off the dates on MySpace?

[Hockeywall]

Should we assume this is the 2010 Taste of Chaos tour?

[skibby15]

Should we assume this is the 2010 Taste of Chaos tour?

i hope not. it doesnt seem like there are enough dates either.

[rollerman4221]

I hope the dates are wrong, because they hit florida EXACTLY the same time as NFG and fireworks do, and that would just plain suck to miss either of those tours

[unit254]

They have to be right. TDWP cancelled Soundwave in Australia, so they could do a tour in the US.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love all three bands, but DT definitely don't fit on this lineup. I'll be at that Indy show for sure though.

[rising_tied]

Dude.... I want to go to this

OMG yes Cleveland!

And it's on the HOB website for Cleveland so it's official!

This is such an awesome lineup, that won't include tons of scene kids because they are coming with two awesome METAL bands!

Wow that's a lot of dates. Who are the other two bands playing?

[Witness]

Killswitch Engage is headlining, then TDWP and Dark Tranquility!

[rollerman4221]

Sad as it is to say, I think imma pass on this tour since NFG is at exactly the same time and is cheaper with a better line-up

[sweepthenation]

I wonder what the opening bands are for the whole tour

[Witness]

I wonder what the opening bands are for the whole tour

My guess would be Dark Tranquility, then TDWP, then KSE.

[gurrentzy321]

tdwp isn't playing the Austin date, so I'm not going. i would rather save my money

[Witness]

tdwp isn't playing the Austin date, so I'm not going. i would rather save my money

I saw one date they weren't playing, that sucks so much!

I wouldn't go if TDWP wasn't, even though I like the others TDWP is like the main attraction for me!

[sweepthenation]

My guess would be Dark Tranquility, then TDWP, then KSE.

Blech. I mean I have typical scene kid taste, but I am not a fan of Death Metal especially

[Witness]

Yeah I don't like any death metal but they are Melodic Death which doesn't bother me as much...the vocals aren't my favorite thing though!

[BottomsUp]

I'd just go for the devil wears prada. They were amazing when i saw them, don't really like killswitch engage that much and metal heads scare me. Butttttttt i probably will go anyways.

[Witness]

Does anybody have like a general set list for each band?

I know almost all of TDWP's songs bu I'm curious to see if I should get into some songs that they ALWAYS play live?

Same with KSE...aside from My Curse, what do they usually play for the most part?

Just in general!

yeah, i don't understand the logic of DT opening for tdwp. i mean i like tdwp, but DT should be doing headline tours instead of opening for a tour like this.

[SandManTEND13]

I'll be at the indy one probably, i missed tdwp last time and I love adam from KsE

[unit254]

I might be at the Minneapolis date.

[crazytoledo]

They're even from Dayton, Ohio! It's weird they skip their own state.

First off, props to Prada for blowing off Australia for this haha (drunk sarcasm or seriousness, I can't tell myself).

Second, what's with Prada touring with more mainstream metalcore bands (first All That Remains, now Killswitch)



As to your original post, I'm not aware of Dayton having any big venues. Their home shows are in Kettering if I remember at the Attic, which has a capacity of around 700 (my friends band played there, you could easily fit in a 1000 kids). However, that size for a venue probably wouldn't be big enough for Killswitch Engages. Maybe for the draw, but I'm sure KsE has a pretty high guarantee. Prada's guarantee for their last headling show at the Attic was $15k according to the owner at the venue (consider the venue capacity and that's a lot. mix in their merch sales and they probably made 20k on one show, not bad for a band whose entire fan base is mainly 15-16 year olds with no jobs)

[TMS2787]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a co-headliner.

[Cøltøn]

I know almost all of TDWP's songs bu I'm curious to see if I should get into some songs that they ALWAYS play live?

Same with KSE...aside from My Curse, what do they usually play for the most part?

Just in general!

I've seen them live twice and both times they played: My Last Serenade, Fixation on the Darkness, Rose of Sharon, Arms of Sorrow, End of Heartache and Holy Diver. Of course now there will be more new stuff on this setlist.

Im assuming for TDWP its a co-headlining deal or close, so around 10 songs at least

Guarantees:

Hey John Whats Your Name Again
Reptar King of the Ozone Layer
HTML Rulez D00D
Danger: Wildman
Wapakalypse
Dez Moines
Gimme Half
Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over
Modeify the Pronounciation
Sassafrass

[yayitsjoe]

i might go if it stops in philadelphia. no way am i making the hike to atlantic city though.

[yoursceneisdead]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a co-headliner.

i would be-killswitch is a lot bigger.

[crazytoledo]

I highly doubt they're co-headlining, but they'll play a longer set.

Look at the Attic Tour for a recent example. Finch headlined, but Blessthefall was playing 40-45 minutes sets each night. Same with Prada and Maylene & the Sons of Disaster back in 2008. They'll play a longer set but it's KsE Headliner

[skibby15]

its not co-headlining. im sure it would have said in KsE's post. but i agree. tdwp isnt big enough to do a co-headliner with kse.

[sweepthenation]

I wish they weren't taking Dark Tranquility as an opener.

[unit254]

Why is TDWP touring with Killswitch anyway?

I think it would be cool to see TDWP tour with ABR or something.

TDWP's set will probably contain any of these songs:

Modify The Pronounciation
Sassafrass
Reptar: King of the Ozone
HTML Rules Dood
Hey John
Dogs can grow beards all over
Dont Dink And Drance
Des Moines
Danger: Wildman

Alright thanks...I think I'll just listen to their first album in that case, because I literally know every one of those songs back and front aside from thw two from Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord! ...they changed so much hah.

And no, TDWP is one of those bands that I listen to every song as much as I can just because I want to, not for the show!

another few good songs from dear love would be

texas is south
rosemary had an accident
gauntlet of solitude
and the sentance trails off.....

[yoursceneisdead]

i wouldn't be surprised if all they play off of dear love is "dogs can grow beards all over." on their co-headlining tour with ATR it seemed like the majority of their set was off their last two albums.

Same here.

I've seen them 6 times and every time they've played Dogs Can Grow Beards, and they usually add Modeify The Pronounciation or Texas Is South

When I saw them on the Sweet Brag tour they played all three.

[skibby15]

When I saw them on the Sweet Brag tour they played all three.

they also played like 3 songs off the new cd on the sweet brag tour. now they play more. therefore, their setlsit will be more like what it is on their tour with ATR.

Yup.

[mason324]

I saw them in august and it was sick... but i highly doubt theyll play Texas is South. I read a blog from some kid who talked to Mike after the Croc Rock show yesterday and he asked if they would play it next time and Mike said absolutely not its one of the owrst songs theyve written. But you never know

I would like to see them do a tour with ADTR. Being that they are such good friends

They already did a tour with ADTR.

[mason324]

True but i would rather see that again then with Metal and Death Metal. Although i do like KsE

[unit254]

I wish TDWP wasn't touring with more mainstream bands now.

Ugh :\

I decided I am not going to this now.

[vb415]

killswitch engage with tdwp? haha what a weird combination

[unit254]

Tell me about it.

[I'mAGetUpKid]

Blah. I like Killswitch and the Devil Wears Prada, but I hate that this doesn't come anywhere neaaaar me.

[Slayer Fan]

I'll go but leave before Killswitch, though I've seen them 4 times before it wasn't by choice, mostly at festivals and direct support for Lamb of God.

[anthonydarko]

Anyone who leaves before Killswitch has terrible taste in music.

[skibby15]

i like old killswitch. not a big fan of howard.

[anthonydarko]

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest Howard fan out there, but I will not deny the man has an awesome voice, both recorded and live.

[eriatarka24]

I'll see if I can go to this, it would be scary to go to though. :-d

[walkonpastme]

pretty sure the devil wears prada is going to open whenever dark tranquility plays. i mean they've been around since the early 90's and are pioneers of melodic death metal, i dont think they would open.

[Crimson_Curse]

One would think, but I'm pretty sure TDWP are main support.

[anthonydarko]

no, whoever leaves before Killswitch doesn't like garbage vocals
Considering you think KSE has garbage vocals while thinking the other two doesn't, that is just fucking hilarious. Mike Hranica is a terrible screamer, Jeremy DePoyster sound terribly out of tune live, and Mikael Stanne sounds just like every other Swedish melo-death vocalist. So by your logic, you should just skip the show, considering your great disdain for terrible vocals.

[Slayer Fan]

whatever man, DT 's easily the best band on this tour, then Prada while they do have a bit of a generic sound to them their still awesome live. I just absolutely hate Howard as a singer, Killswitch is an okay band but his vocals really get to me.

[ivorylineslead]

Oh god, I can't wait for this.

I just absolutely hate Howard as a singer, Killswitch is an okay band but his vocals really get to me.

Really? I think Howard is amazing. What's not to like about his style?

[sweepthenation]

Just bought my tickets to the Baltimore date, really hoping TDWP get 10 songs, maybe 1 or 2 more.

[skibby15]

tdwp def will play at least 10.

[Under The Knife]

I will attending the Feb 10th show in ATL. Who else is going to that show?

[Justino4Realo]

im stoked for this shit. i havent gotten to see prada in a small lineup for a while and last time I had to wade through fuckin All That Remains fans before they played. see you at stubbs

[anthonydarko]

I need to get my ticket soon. I hope KSE plays as little of their new material as possible.

[Jake Denning]

I'm a little on the fence with this show, Prada KILLED it at Warped last summer, and Killswitch is a great band, particularly enjoyed the new CD. Problem is, tickets are $35 after fees. I still need to buy WOP/DI, ADTR/ABR/Silver and NFG tickets + Gas. ehhhhhhhhh.

[anthonydarko]

I wish I could go see ABR :-(

[Jake Denning]

I wish I could go see ABR :-(

Great band live; I've been lucky enough to see them with their original lead in 06 supporting Project 86, then I've seen them twice with their current lead singer, Jake. I was really stoked on their last tour, they really owed us big time after that A Skylit Drive/Sky Eats Airplane/Greeley Estates (who I dont mind) mess in 08.

[Under The Knife]

A Skylit Drive/Sky Eats Airplane/Greeley Estates mess in 08.

What happened?

[Jake Denning]

What happened?

It was just a really gay tour. I wish I could've just seen Greeley then ABR and left. This last headliner in the West Coast was flawless, Acacia Strain, Impending Doom, and my buddies Mychildren Mybride. What could be better?

I've only seen them once at Warped Tour a couple of years ago, they were great live. They don't come here to St. Louis very often so anytime they come through, I make an attempt to go, often times it falls through.

[Justino4Realo]

update i saw tdwp post on myspace or twitter or something which song fans wanted them to play on this tour: I hate buffering or ben has a kid. so yea good news for prada fans, we get to hear a new song. im guessing theyre gonna sub out reptar or dink and drance

[Under The Knife]

I think "Ben Has A Kid won that poll. And they haven't played Dink and Drance in awhile so they'll prob keep Reptar

[Justino4Realo]

I think "Ben Has A Kid won that poll. And they haven't played Dink and Drance in awhile so they'll prob keep Reptar

they played dink and drance on the napalm and noise tour tho

and Ben Has a Kid is fine with me i think its gonna be a way better song live, very heavy

[Jake Denning]

I'm about to throw my hands up and forget this tour. $37.50 AFTER fees for this show? EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[Under The Knife]

It's $35.25 after fees on LiveNation.

[Jake Denning]

It's $35.25 after fees on LiveNation.

The Portland show is one of the few shows that isnt dealt with my Livenation/Ticketmaster. Ticketswest has this one.

[sweepthenation]

Yea the price is ridiculous, especially since I just want to see Prada really but their live shows are worth it

[Jake Denning]

I had the lady check how many tickets were sold for Portland so far.....ABSOLUTELY NONE

[subplotofcrows]

Cleveland tickets are 41$. At least three bands I like are playing.

[Justino4Realo]

yeah its definitely a pricey show, but i pretty much pay whatever for a prada show. and the last time i saw them they were on an awful tour(napalm & noise) so i need a rebound

[anthonydarko]

Considering how much money this is per ticket, I think I'm going to go see Flogging Molly for less money a few day earlier instead.

[Jake Denning]

Considering how much money this is per ticket, I think I'm going to go see Flogging Molly for less money a few day earlier instead.

Forget this tour. I'm gonna go see Project 86 instead.

[subplotofcrows]

I don't like how Dark Tranquillity is getting zero recognition on this tour. DT is a very influential band with nine studio albums over the course of almost two decades. They're also a fantastic band, too. I hope more people get into them and appreciate them on this tour. It's almost degrading having them open before TDWP.

[dismrepair08]

I'm going to the Cleveland show on Feb. 13th. I asked Mike from TDWP on Twitter how long their set would be, and he said 40 minutes, so I'm guessing that's enough for about 10 songs? Also, according to their Twitter, it seems like they're going to play "Ben Has a Kid" for the first time.

I bought a KsE album, The End of Heartache, in order to acquaint myself with them before I see them. I'm not familiar with Dark Tranquility at all, but from doing a bit of reading about them, I'm surprised that they would agree to open for two bands that are much younger than them, considering they've been around for so long.

[dismrepair08]

Cleveland tickets are 41$. At least three bands I like are playing.

Yeah, I was shocked when it came out to $41! There were an entire $12 of fees added on to the original price.

[subplotofcrows]

Yeah, I was shocked when it came out to $41! There were an entire $12 of fees added on to the original price.

It is atrocious. And the whole Ticketmaster/Livenation fiasco doesn't make it much better.
Songs possible for Killswitch:

My Last Serenade
Fixation on the Darkness
This Is Absolution
Arms of Sorrow
My Curse
When Darkness Falls
Rose of Sharyn
End of Heartache
Starting Over
Reckoning

Most of these have been staples, so it's just a guess.

[Justino4Realo]

i guess this is what you get when bands are on major labels.

[Under The Knife]

Being on a major label has no effect on ticket prices

Well outside of the metal community, DT isn't really that well known in America, hence to why they would open for two bands that are.

[Under The Knife]

I've never any of the bands playing this tour (not live anyway). What should I expect? Besides moshing of course...

Prada is one of my favorite bands live. Mikes vocals vary show to show. Ive seen shows where he sounded kinda sketchy and ones where he sounded awesome. Honestly I think their sound guy is an idiot and his vocals are just never loud enough, its been bothering me a long time. Jeremy is awful live, end of story, but it really doesnt detract much because everyone sings along to that shit. But they bring a lot of energy and are passionate performers and i think thats why most people like them, plus theyre just downright heavy live.

This is all true, and Prada puts on the best live show I know.

[Deartragedy88]

I have seen The Devil Wears Prada twice and they were awful both times. I can't be mad at Dark Tranquillity for opening for two bands that should be opening for them. I understand popularity, record sales, and all that stuff, but looking at the lineup just makes me shake my head.

[Under The Knife]

Just because DT is big overseas doesn't mean they're big here too.

Killswitch is one huge sing-along

[dismrepair08]

I've never any of the bands playing this tour (not live anyway). What should I expect? Besides moshing of course...

I have seen The Devil Wears Prada once before, and they had a ton of energy. Mike (the lead singer) was all over the place on stage. Unfortunately, I could barely hear Jeremy's clean vocals. Overall, though, they had a lot of passion in their performance. I know a lot of people don't like their music, but I really got the impression they left everything on stage. Probably one of the best live shows I've seen, although I admittedly haven't been to a ton of concerts.

Other than that, though, I don't know how Killswitch Engage and Dark Tranquility are live, so I would be interested to hear if other people have seen them before.

They're probably one of the best live bands I've ever seen. I've seen them five times in the past three years and they never missed a beat once. Just an incredibly tight live band, it's something you have to see to believe.

Truth thats one of the reasons (besides the price) I debated buying this ticket, I figured the 30 year old Metal douches would try and make the Prada fans have a horrible time.

[rollerman4221]

Truth thats one of the reasons (besides the price) I debated buying this ticket, I figured the 30 year old Metal douches would try and make the Prada fans have a horrible time.

this is the exact reason I passed on the show. Last time I saw killswitch ETID opened for them and after watching the 2nd hardcore dancer get jumped by jacked metalheads in their 30's I decided it was my last

[gpfs7]

keith buckley is 30

[anthonydarko]

To be honest, if you don't want to get jumped because you were hardcore dancing at a metal show, then don't fucking do it. It's not hard to understand that concept.

[screenhead]

when the devil wears prada is opening people are going to fucking do it though and i will be one of them just wish people would respect us thats all

Well considering how many times I've seen those stupid kids do that and actually carelessly hit people who aren't doing anything, they don't deserve any respect. Just mosh like a normal human being.

If you wanna see how TDWP are live, check this out:

atK1UwMQ70g

It's a full set live from the Napalm & Noise Tour.

[Derka Derka]

I would go to this just to hear what Adam D says about TDWP

[dismrepair08]

It's really annoying when the people who are hardcore dancing kick and hit the people standing around them, so I hope that there won't be as much of that going on at this show. I've never really understood hardcore dancing at all. But, unfortunately, I'm sure there will still be a bunch of people doing it.

If anyone has ever been to a KsE show before, what can be expected from the metal crowd? I'm assuming it will be (on average) older than the crowd that TDWP will draw. Are the metal fans more violent, or is that just a stereotype?

[Under The Knife]

Hardcore dancing = moshing for pussies. I hate how these kids think they're tough. They look anorexic and could be snapped in half with ease. Most of them have never even been in a real fight, and the ones that have either lost, or were fighting even more of a pussy than them. To make a long story short, it's an alternative to being homosexual.

It's a stereotype. Aside from moshing, those kind of people are there to listen to the music and have a good time, as anyone else would.

[walkonpastme]

Just because DT is big overseas doesn't mean they're big here too.


what you don't realize is without dt there would be no tdwp or killswitch. Both bands are metalcore bands and the metalcore genre was heavily influenced by melodic deathmetal bands such as at the gates, in flames or dark tranquility. thats why its fucked up that they are the opener.

That doesn't entitle them to anything. They are not a huge band here and are not a huge draw, hence to why they are the openers. Pretty simple economics there.

[subplotofcrows]

Bought my ticket today. Now I'm broke. I hope this show rocks, but since all three bands are awesome, I know it will.

Oh i understand economics. I'm not saying you're wrong. My comment wasn't really directed at you, instead I'm just saying people should show dt more respect.

[Under The Knife]

The first show of the tour was tonight. Setlist please.

[Justino4Realo]

i hope they redid their set list. dez moines as an encore is stupid(hey john maybe?) and i really dont ever need to hear dogs grow beards again

[Under The Knife]

Texas Is South would make a great encore.

[Justino4Realo]

Texas Is South would make a great encore.
I like Texas is South but they JUST finally stopped playing that on every tour for the last 50 years so i was hoping for something new. If they want to play off Dear Love I dont understand why they let the song Rosemary drop off the face of the fucking earth

[sweepthenation]

Yea they really need to drop Dez Moines as the final song, its a good song but not encore worthy at all, Hey John is still my favorite song by them and its an epic last song.

[Under The Knife]

Also, they've stopped playing Still Fly. Mike said it himself at RevGen last year.

[dismrepair08]

Found this online...set-list and review for KsE's performance at the Boston show. Unfortunately, however, they don't mention TDWP's set-list, or the fact that either they or Dark Tranquility performed at all.

http://www.spin.com/articles/killswitch-engage-break-metal-rules-boston-opener

[Justino4Realo]

It just doesnt make sense to have one of the more popular songs off your NEW cd as the encore. People are expecting that song. The encore should be something old. I will never complain about Hey John as the encore.

And yeah they said in that last AP interview that no one is really proud of Stay Fly anymore and want to distance themselves from it.

[yoursceneisdead]

tdwp isn't gonna play an encore

[AlexEnglish]

Also, they've stopped playing Still Fly. Mike said it himself at RevGen last year.

They hate playing that song so much, they say it labels them as another scene trend band. Read it in the Feb. AP

[AlexEnglish]

I'm not going to this, but can somebody post a Prada setlist?

[Under The Knife]

Why would TDWP do an encore if they're not headlining?

[Justino4Realo]

lol it was mostly for conversation's sake but it is possible since they werent technically the headliner on Napalm & Noise, they rotated and as far as I know they still did an encore even when they werent the final act(given the crowd asked for it i guess).

[Under The Knife]

I think it's safe to say that they're not co-headlining with KsE

[xBLACKOUTx]

Also, they've stopped playing Still Fly. Mike said it himself at RevGen last year.

I'm so happy to hear that, I hated that song.

[NateFoundGlory]

For fuck's sake stop playing Holy Diver. It was cool at first, but the gimmick has worn off, especially as an encore.

[Crimson_Curse]

headling set : dez moines as an encore + dont dink

open for ATR: dez moines included in set and no dont dink

[anthonydarko]

Couldn't agree more with this, it was cute the first few times hearing but then it became a chore to get through it. Instead of that, they should play more older material from their first self-titled or Alive or Just Breathing. Personally, I'd like to see them play Self Revolution again, such a good song.

[anthonydarko]

Well I dropped the ball and didn't get my Flogging Molly ticket, and now it's sold out. Looks like I'm seeing Killswitch.

Oh definitely. Anything off of self-titled or Alive or Just Breathing would be better than a moderately generic, albeit decent cover song. Killswitch put on a great show nevertheless, so I guess I'll keep the complaining to a minimum.

Eh it was to be expected. Flogging Molly is pretty popular in St. Louis and when you throw in a show around St. Patrick's Day, it's bound to sell out weeks in advance. It's not the end of the world though, they'll come back next year, they always do.

the 2/4 setlist on setlist.fm shows them playing self revolution as part of their set. i think killswitch does a decent job with their sets as far as taking an even amount from their albums (except the first one), but i'd like to see them start playing some different songs from those cds. i've seen them a few times their sets are pretty predictible. i'd rather them close with daylight dies, a bid farewell, or the end of heartache.

Prada wont play much more than Dogs from Dear Love since a good majority of Prada's fanbase became familiar with Plagues and so forth.

But mannnnnn i'm SO BUMMED that its $38 for a ticket, total pipedream for me to be able to afford that.

[sweepthenation]

So a random question, but since people here are TDWP fans, during Warped, who was the guy that came on stage to sing the end of Wapakalypse? I've been wondering this for a while

[Under The Knife]

Question: Should I take some Advil beforehand to avoid a headache/neck ache from headbanging during the concert?

who was the guy that came on stage to sing the end of Wapakalypse?

That guy who came on stage to scream is TDWP's merch guy.

I would really like to see them play Goats on a Boat...the build-up and the breakdown at the end would probably be pretty crazy. However, I doubt they'll play it. When I saw them last summer, the only old songs they played were Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over, HTML Rulez d00d, Hey John..., and Reptar. Granted, that was right after the release of With Roots Above..., but I'm expecting to hear a lot of new material on this tour as well. I would definitely like to see them play some of their older songs, though.

[Justino4Realo]

oh realistically I know they might never play that again. Im expecting them to play a very similiar setlist to napalm & noise, with like 6 or 7 songs from WRAABB, 2 from plagues(hey john and html rulez most likely) and maybe one from dear love(dogs or texas). and thats pretty much what its gonna be untill theres another cd

[sweepthenation]

Alot of times they only play the last minute of Goats which is pretty sweet

That's actually a pretty good set, IMO. They're supposed to play Ben Has a Kid rather than I Hate Buffering, though, according to the vote they had on their Twitter. And yeah, I'm surprised they didn't play anything from Dear Love...I thought Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over was a staple for them. But other than that, sounds like a pretty sweet set.

The Killswitch setlist looks to be exactly like what i expected.

TDWP is playing a ton of stuff off Roots Above, which I like because their new stuff is all I can get into, really.

they played that on their headlining tour with adtr last year. it was fantastic but i doubt they'll play it

[Justino4Realo]

im sick of Dogs Grow Beards. I will be so much happier if they play a more original set. I Hate Buffering would have been good but Ben Has A Kid is one of the heaviest songs on the album so its gonna be a good one

[red8ge]

dumb question, but does killswitch ever play This Fire Burns live?

[Deadpool]

Killswitch did not get to play in Orlando tonight because apparently, after waiting for an hour, they announced that Howard Jones had thrown his back out to the point where he had to go to the hospital. They are playing tomorrow (2/9) at an earlier time for people that come back out.

Not his fault, but it is a bummer for people who drove a long way to see them. Hoping that TicketMaster refunds me and other people that drove a long distance.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that due to the fuck-up, the rest of the band came out to talk to fans. I didn't though considering that I had to get home.

I'm concerned about snow messing with the show on Saturday in Cleveland.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE vocalist Howard Jones is leaving the band’s current headlining tour with The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility due to unforeseen circumstances.

Yeah, I saw that too. It kind of sucks. I'm going to this tour on Saturday, and it just won't be the same without Howard. I think Phil can do a good job filling in on vocals, though.

[Jake Denning]

Wow, glad I didnt buy a ticket for this.

[screenhead]

saw phil do it last night his song knowledge is very limited didnt even know my curse but he sounded good

[Under The Knife]

Fuck. I hate Phil's voice. They should call Jesse Leach. Maybe I'll leave after TDWP is done playing.

[Justino4Realo]

Fuck. I hate Phil's voice.

lmao, me neither.

i already had to see prada with fucking ATR 2 months ago, im not doing that shit again. leaving after prada for sure.

[rollerman4221]

that prada set is beast

[walkonpastme]

I think it's pretty cool that phil is filling in. He basically got 2nd place behind howard in tryouts when jesse left the band. Also apparently they also asked jesse to fill in, but he said no.

[skibby15]

fuck! that would have been tight if jesse would have done it.

[xBLACKOUTx]

Wow, that's pretty incredible! I would really like to see them as headliners at some point, when they would have enough time to play a set like that.

It was their headline show in their hometown, they went on at about 9:45 and ended near 11 if i remember it right haha.

[xBLACKOUTx]

Okay, that's an amazing setlist dude.

Best setlist they've ever played IMO.

[sweepthenation]

I think my Baltimore date on Friday is going to be cancelled.....Fuck

Had Jesse agreed to fill in for this tour, I would of came in my pants upon hearing the news.

[anthonydarko]

Concerning Phil doing the vocals, I'm not stoked on it but I do think it's interesting to see what Killswitch could of been like had he got the job.

TDWP Setlist from last night:

Intro thing?
hey john, what's your name again?
sassafras
Ben Has A Kid
Dog Can Grow Beards All Over
danger: wildman
Wapakalypse
goats on a boat
gimme half
assistant to the regional manager


Should be in order. Phil actually surprised me with his vocals. For some reason, when he sings for ATR, I dont care for him.

Would be perfect if it had Reptar. That song is amazing

Not bad. I am pretty surprised theyre dropping Des Moines but its fine by me.

[Roton7]

The inclusion of Goats on a Boat is pretty awesome, but did they really have to cut out Reptar, HTML, and Dez Moines?

[subplotofcrows]

The show on Saturday in Cleveland is sold out. I'm looking forward to a good show! Also, love that TDWP setlist!

[Justino4Realo]

They tour a lot though, and theyve been playing those songs A LOT. They have to mix it up to keep older fans happy while remembering to promote the new material.

[sweepthenation]

Leaving now to go, absolutely can not wait

[walkonpastme]

I saw that. Lucky NYC bastards......*walks off grumbling to himself.

[dismrepair08]

Stoked for the show tonight!

[subplotofcrows]

Excited for the show tonight. It's sold out, which means the House of Blues will be packed. I'm making a custom "The Devil Wears Tight Pants" shirt, too. It'll be a good time.

[andrewa5]

in a thread at metalsetlists.com it said that tdwp played (in no particular order)

sassafras
i hate buffering
gimme half
danger:wildman
assistant to the regional manager
hey john, what's your name again?
html rulez d00d
goats on a boat
reptar, king of the ozone

nothing off of dear love and no "dez moines," kinda surprising if that setlist is accurate.
5 straight new songs? bad idea.

[Justino4Realo]

5 straight new songs? bad idea.

its not the correct setlist.

[yoursceneisdead]

5 straight new songs? bad idea.

i said it wasn't in order

[yoursceneisdead]

i was just looking at setlist.fm and for the 2/11 show this is the killswitch set that was posted

rose of sharyn
reckoning
fixation on the darkness
a bid farewell
self revolution
my last serenade
when darkness falls
numbered days
prelude
vide infra
temple from the within
my curse
take this oath
life to lifeless
the end of heartache
holy diver

that's a lot of stuff off of AOJB if it's accurate. maybe phil doesn't know much of their new stuff.

Old stuff>new stuff. This is a sweet setlist.

[TMS2787]

I can't believe TDWP isn't playing any songs off of Dear Love.

[yoursceneisdead]

one of the sets a few pages back had them playing "dogs can grow beards all over." their new album is good but i'd like to see them play some more stuff off of their first two.

[TMS2787]

I'm aware it did but the latest didn't and I didn't go tonight. Oh, well.

[subplotofcrows]

I was at the tonight, it was extremely insane. Can't remember TDWP's setlist, because I dont know much besides stuff from Roots. And Killswitch was awesome, but I ended up getting kicked in the face by a crowd surfer during Holy Diver and had to go get it checked at the hosptial. Cleveland hospitals are the slowest things to ever exist.

[dismrepair08]

Awesome show last night in Cleveland! TDWP really played well, incredible set. The intro was really cool, too... (I'm pretty sure these are in the right order, although I could be wrong.)

Intro (end of Lord Xenu)
Hey John, What's Your Name Again?
Sassafras
Ben Has a Kid
Goats on a Boat
Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over
Danger: Wildman
Don't Dink and Drance
Gimme Half
Assistant to the Regional Manager

Dark Tranquility played a pretty tight set musically. I'll admit I didn't really like their vocalist's screaming style. They definitely seemed to be the most "metal" of the three bands. The Killswitch Engage set was pretty good, although by that point I was tired. lol I've never seen the band perform with Howard Jones, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I thought Phil Labonte did a pretty good job filling in as the vocalist. Adam D. is pretty hilarious.

Wow, that sounds pretty intense! Hope you're alright. I wasn't really up near any of the crowd surfing...

Thats a good setlist. I like how they changed up the intro.

That is such a legit Killswitch set list!

[anthonydarko]

My request for having the day off for the STL date got approved so I'm getting my ticket this week. I can't wait!

[Cantstop991]

This show is going to be sick, I hope Phil does well in his vocals. I see they changed up the set list a bit since he joined. Sucks that they took our The Arms of Sorrow, though.

[anthonydarko]

I could live without hearing that song again.

[skibby15]

im going on sunday. im debating on whether or not to take video. ill at least have a little bit of tdwp and kse. ill do my best for sets aswell.

[PIPERULEZD00d]

know somwbody the songs that tdwp gonna play on the southamerican tour?

[AlexEnglish]

know somwbody the songs that tdwp gonna play on the southamerican tour?

Probably one or two songs from Dear Love, a handful from plagues, probably still fly, and the rest from roots.
