| Huh, that Opeth/Mastodon show is at the Paramount. That place seems way too classy for a metal show. |

| Slayer has played there, sooo nah. |

Wut?
For Atlanta, I wasn't even able to get tickets online when I went right when they went on sale. I was just lucky enough that going through ticketmaster's automated telephone system actually worked. |

Is he doing the paperless ticketing thing in Atlanta as well?
That's part of it, and part of is that he's playing a venue probably twice the size he should if he wants to sell out two nights without the 'benefit' of scalpers cleaning out the tickets. |

He is indeed.
And yeah, though the place he's playing definitely isn't small, it's definitely way smaller than I thought he would play out. I'm not sure. The only 2 other things I've seen at the venue were SM & the Jicks and Tim and Eric. |

You know you're (and I'm) addicted to the Coachella board when you bring that gem up. Jesus, that thread is god fucking awful. |

| Huh? I can promise you I didn't take that from the Coachella board. |
| Posted by emptyfox on Jan 31, 2012, 7:34pm |
| Well meow I just look like a jerk that reads the Coachella board too much. I know it initially came from a Rolling Stone article. |
| Posted by Pea on Jan 31, 2012, 7:36pm |
| Hah. I think everyone has been thinking that lately. It's pretty much true. DJ's are living the way bands like Poison and Motley Crue did when they were at their biggest. |

| I can't wait until Skrillex is playing giant arenas. |
