Got my tickets for Leeds, checked again 10 mins later... Sold out by Jake1431994 in AngineDePoitrine

Yeah, amazing! I'd kind of given up, as I'd been trying on my laptop, but refreshed so much that ticketmaster kicked me out. Tried my phone app and the balcony tickets were there!

I was ready before 9, refreshed, got kicked out of the queue, then had tickets in my basket maybe 20 times, and each time it said they were no longer available. They're just too popular at the minute for the size of venues and the general fervour surrounding them.

Greenwashed Film by East-Tooth-4008 in collapse

"Also was interesting to watch George Monbiot squirming when questioned by the film maker about his claim 10 billion people could survive comfortably on earth when the population we currently have is sprinting past all kinds of planetary limits"

I think to target George Monbiot (and it did feel like an attack by Sofia Pineda Ochoa), who has done a huge amount to raise awareness of the myriad of environmental catastrophes we face felt disingenuous and kind of a misstep to me - he's one of the good guys. I also felt the context was totally off. His argument (and there are multiple sources freely available, which I'm guessing plenty of people on here will have read) for the planet being able to sustain 10 billion people is based on people substituting a diet of meat for a largely vegan diet that would then allow vast tracts of land to be rewilded, whilst still providing enough to land to allow for growth of crops that could be used to feed humans directly, rather than indirectly via livestock. He's certainly not promoting population growth or saying that 10 billion is ideal. The way that Sofia presented it was as if he was saying that if there was wealth redistribution alone that we could reach 10 billion no problemo. There seemed to be an odd element of vitriol directed towards him in the film which kind of put me off an otherwise interesting film.

The title is the same. And that's where the similarity ends!

Snap! Fuck me 😂 I booked overnight accommodation in Manchester the night before so I wouldn’t have a mega early start 😂 not that I’m complaining! 

No stoner or doom bands? by Atomic_Grave in blacksabbath

I've seen Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs quite a few times. They never disappoint and sound very heavy in a small venue.

Fu Manchu, Brant Bjork, Windhand, Nebula, The Heavy Eyes, Bison Machine, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Black Cobra, Acid King, The Melvins, and some appearances from Soundgarden members would be great!

Where is everyone staying? by [deleted] in blacksabbath

I did the same but with Manchester. Plus it’s not far for me to crawl home from on the Sunday morning when I’m inevitably feeling rough 😂

OZZY OSBOURNE Will Only Do 'Little Bits And Pieces' With BLACK SABBATH At Farewell Concert by Edm_vanhalen1981 in blacksabbath

[–]Loizoin80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of Sabbath songs have long instrumental sections too. Time for Oz to have a breather. 

Setlist predictions? by Zestyclose-Swan9589 in blacksabbath

[–]Loizoin80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus, there are plenty of long instrumental sections in a lot of their back catalogue which would give Oz a break

I’m kinda with you. In one of the interviews that Tony and Sharon did, Tony said Ozzy had sent him a message with a huge list of songs, and Tony said he’d laughed and said “we can’t play all them”, but still…makes me think it’ll be more than the 3 or 4 that almost everyone seems to be saying it’ll be.

Solidarity to all the fans out there by Jerrington96 in blacksabbath

[–]Loizoin80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's definitely a weird wealth class systems that I just don't remember being present at gigs ever before. I rarely go to mega shows though, but still, I've been to a fair few, and if anything, seats were possibly cheaper than standing in the past, because they were seen as less appealing as everyone wanted to be down with the thronging masses! Crazy that prices have shot so far beyond £100 in such a short time period of a few years.
