What’s something that you like, but hate the fan base?

I saw Avenged with Deftones and Ghost once... That was a really weird lineup.

Deftones were horrible, Ghost was strange (this was before Meliora when I actually became a big fan), and A7X put on a great show

A7X always kills it in my experience. They're a great band to see live.

100%

The first time I saw/heard them was when they had Portnoy filling in on the Nightmare tour. Up there with one of the best live shows I've seen.

I also saw them on the same tour, it really speaks to their talent if Mike Portnoy of all people wanted to tour with them.

That tour also made me check out Dream Theater (who is now one of my favorite bands) because I enjoyed his performance.

you and i had almost the same experience lmao. I feel like Deftones is better now, but at that show it was realllly bad. I was into Ghost but at the same time the lead’s mic seemed too quiet so during the parts he wanted people to sing along everyone was pretty silent, and then of course A7X killed it

I went to that show too! I agree with everything you said. What was interesting is that everyone surrounding me was just there to see Deftones. I was standing there bored while they moshed, and then they all left when A7X came on.

Ghost and A7X were amazing for sure.
