Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

A great year for seeing rock bands who are old, rich, and mostly white

-Tool: playing the gorge this summer. Shit sold out in like 5 minutes. They're supposedly making a new album but they are old and rich (and lazy). They're live show is pretty amazing visually, but they still stand in one place and play the same 10 songs they've been playing for 15 years. I still coughed up my money.

-A Perfect Circle: touring this summer. I saw them at the Salem Armory when they were touring for 13th Step. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. Like Maynard's other band, they are lazy and are unveiling a new song every 3 or 4 years.

- Mastodon: a band who is not lazy. New album is pretty awesome, and is a return to the pseudo-concept albums of the past (Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack The Skye). They play a pretty eclectic live set with songs from every album. Supported by Eagles of Death Metal, which is pretty sweet as long as ISIS doesn't show up.

- Deftones: playing at White River, which is a shitty venue, but Deftones put on a great live show. Loud as fuck. Their last album "Gore" was really good.

-Metallica: new album was mostly generic "trying to be thrash again" shit but they put on a great live show. Long setlist with lots of old shit.
