It's about time we got some fucking good tours going through here. Fuck yes. Buying tickets asap.

PS:

And yes, both bands are ridiculously popular down here. AM!, not so much. Personally, I really dislike Billy Talent, but AOF and AM! together, definitely is pretty exciting. For me, anyway. Haha.

Bought my pre-sale floor tickets today. The other bands are decent but I wouldn't be going if it wasn't for AM. A buddy of mine who saw them last year said they played mainly New Wave stuff... has anyone else seem them recently, did they play anything off of Crime or Reinventing Axl Rose? Thanks.

Uhhh. Last time I saw them, September 08, they played pretty much all of New Wave. But don't expect anything off of Crime, haha, it almost never happens.

Some good ones they played though were Pints, Walking, Danger, and uhhh. I think that's it, as far as Reinventing goes. Disappointing, I know.

That's incredibly disappointing. Oh well, we can always hope!

i bet they have a short set since they're the opener. and I bet they play almost entirely new record songs that aren't released yet (but maybe by March they will be) and one or two old favorites like Walking and Pints.

To me, this tour is an obvious attempt to promote the band. Promo tours always have mostly new release sets.

That makes me sad kind of.

Just a thought: I do not like the song New Wave.

ashley · Subject: Re: Canadian Tour with Alexisonfire Fri Oct 16, 2009 10:19 am

i don't like it live. all the other songs on the album sound way better live. New Wave just didn't sound good. if the song started at the half way mark (forget the beginning) i would like it a lot more.

That's exactly how it was when I saw them with Foo. But see, I think that's okay. Because it was a great chance to get to hear all the newer songs live, not to mention, the newer songs fit the arena type sound a lot better. Hearing We Laugh at Danger or Rice and Bread would sound really odd on that tour, especially in an arena setting. I thought it worked well.

Well in the end, Im going to be able to see AM and meet them so Im not complaining. Its not everyday they are in Canada, yet alone coming to Prince George (which is an hour from where I live).

I'll probably just watch them then once their done, ill go out for a smoke haha. i could just see it.
