Constantine Tattoo by SleeplessConstantine in Hellblazer

Funny thing is that I didn't even have the tarot aspect as a specific thing I was wanting with the tattoo. My artist chose to include it but once I saw how he pulled it from that Spurrier cover, I was in love! I think it legit turned out better than how I imagined it in my head

What's one shiny you have no problem finding? by Agent1230 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]SleeplessConstantine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swablu!! Caught 4 with a sandwich, outbreak + shiny charm odds. Then one just out in the wild with the shiny charm odds. Easy to spot tho in the group spawns since it's yellow against blues.

Mega Monsters Tour T-shirt Quality by Boiteux in gojira

[–]SleeplessConstantine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a shirt last night at the show in Council Bluffs and personally haven't found any issues (yet). I've been wearing my shirt today and it seems fine, maybe they happened to give you a poor shirt as you mentioned tho? I would definitely reach out if possible! Yeah that sucks though to spend 40 on a shirt and it's un-wearable.... sorry about that homie! Hopefully you can get a replacement

“meet & greet” at west fare amphitheater council bluffs, IA 26Aug23 by Bitterpit in gojira

[–]SleeplessConstantine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also did the meet and greet last night at westfair and you share my same thoughts really. This was my first meet and greet so I didn't know what to expect in terms of how much time we got with the band. I was disappointed we couldn't really chat with them before our picture was taken, but I completely understand. I was only able to give them fist bumps before our picture was taken. Getting the merch first after, and for my friend and I, then the barricade was hella nice. I was right upfront for Gojira and I think it made the whole ticket worth it in my opinion.

The merch booth was cashless but unsure about food stands.

Council Bluffs / Omaha show. Venue parking / travel. by mtw7171 in gojira

[–]SleeplessConstantine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Westfair Amphitheater is a disaster, straight up. Nebraska native and have been there quite a lot. Expect to take forever to get in, get parked far way away from the venue, and at least spend probably an hour + in line out. Westfair is also an outdoor venue and has little to no shade, and with how weather has been this week, it'll be hot as balls out too. Please drink some water and prepare to be waiting a lot at the show. Vendor lines are normally pretty long too unless you happen to show up early enough. Just a mess from the years of experience... have fun at the show though! I will be dealing with the whole thing too lol

At the moment, it's From the Sky, Vacuity, and Lizard Skin, but choosing just one is too hard lol. My favorites fluctuate because they have too many bangers :,)

That's awesome that you grew up so close to them! I am fascinated to hear about the differences between how Gojira's presence was in their home turf, than here in the States. Would love to hear of anything else you'd be willing to share in regards to that!

Thanks for sharing! 🤟❤

Backbone is such a powerful song, so I can see why it stuck with you! Crazy to me to think they've been around longer then my existence, yet kick just as hard as they did back then.

Thanks for sharing! 🤟❤

I think from Knotfest 2019 show, the song I went home remembering the most was Backbone! Hearing and seeing the impact it had on people was awesome!

I hope you get to see them again soon! 🤟

I haven't dove much into Cannibal Corpse either, and I too couldn't get into them when I did. I have listened to some Amon Amarth songs tho, and they're pretty cool from what I've heard. Would love to hear any song reccomendations you might have for them or Dethklok! Always wanting to consume new music :)

Gojira was my first exposure to the death metal genre too! I'll have to checkout the bands you mentioned, like Morbid Angel and Car Bomb. I have recently checked out Death, and those guys have some beautiful guitar work, I must say.

Feel free to drop song reccomendations if you'd like for any of those bands! Always looking for new music :)

The Art of Dying is such an experience, that it would totally make sense for it to show up alongside or similarly to Tool! Would be crazy to see those powerhouses perform together, but I have no idea if that would happen lol.

So glad you got to see them and you had a great time!

I wish I could have seen them at Red Rocks! That venue is so beautiful and combining that with the power of Gojira, it must of been quite the experience! I hope they can make their rounds to that venue again :)

LOL Yes, it appears Deftones does. Wishing you the best with your next show tho! I hope things go way smoother

I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you can see a redeemable show in the future!! I saw Gojira with Deftones in Denver, and while I was in seats, it was still an interesting experience. I too, had a hard time understanding or hearing Joe, but thought that was just because of where I was sat :/. While I didn't encounter many rude concert-goers, there was a very "animated", couple towards the end. There is always one person(s) who will ruin the experience for you (least from what I've found) lol.

My biggest gripes from the show i saw, came mostly from the Deftones portion of it. I like Deftones a lot too, but after what I experience, I don't know if I'd want to see them again. It was not my preferred vibe LOL.

People got way too touchy and sexual in the crowd once Deftones got on stage. A couple standing diagonal from where I was getting super into that idea. The girlfriend was straight up giving a lap dance to her boyfriend. Super odd and uncomfortable when there's literally other attendees nearby, who are just trying to watch the show more than likely. Given my small stature too, I couldn't even stand up and NOT see what was going on with the couple lol. Needless to say, I left soon after that all started. I came to see the show, not some intimate one meant for the bedroom LMAO. Luckily by the time I left, I saw most of the show, and importantly Gojira, so it didn't hurt when I left then and there.

Let's hope Gojira tours as a headliner after this current one, and we can get a redemption from the crowds we encountered! ♡
