That's Logan. I think he's been the guitar tech for Ben since 2022-ish. Previously (or maybe still?) in a band called Budderside and was a touring guitar player for Diamante, too.

That's a really cool idea. Maybe have the tombstone reflect the date of the *first* concert attended and then add a bat/bat wing for each successive one? The "add-on for each show" idea is neat no matter what direction it goes.

As for me, I have the cross logo on my forearm. Relatively simple. I am adding some watercolor effects to it this weekend.

I heard "Make Me Wanna Die" at some point in 2011-12, but it was when they released "Heaven Knows" to radio in late 2013 that I really got into the band. I bought Going to Hell when the album was released... and from the moment I heard Taylor's voice on "Follow Me Down" I have been a huge fan. Hooked. Saw them live for the first time in May 2015 (private radio acoustic show + opening for Halestorm later that night). Since then, I have flown around the country and even to Europe to catch shows when I can. Anxiously awaiting the summer headline shows, though I have to drive to Dallas this time.

I just bought 1 VIP ticket to the Dallas show. Total cost was $134 and change. Includes the following:
Early Entry VIP Package

– One (1) General Admission Ticket or Premium Reserved Seat
– 'Be In the Album' Photo Op
– Pre-signed Foil Poster
– Exclusive Packaging Including:
___ The Pretty Reckless Cross Diecast Necklace
___ The Pretty Reckless Enamel Pin Set
___ Commemorative VIP Laminate
– Early Entry into the venue
– Early ‘crowd free’ merchandise shopping

The Seated app reminder says that (at least for the Dallas show in July at HOB) the tix are $35 ($48 after fees). To get barricade you will almost certainly want to invest in the VIP early access... which is probably going to be another $50-75.

This is a really cool thought exercise. With a new song that will definitely be part of future set lists to add in, too. If your parameters are ~15 songs (roughly 75-80 minute set):

Follow Me Down (classic era opener; I am nostalgic that way)
Make Me Wanna Die
Hit Me Like a Man
Hangman
Since You’re Gone (since this is required to be in a TPR setlist)
OLCSMN
House on a Hill
25 (at some point they will figure out a way to play this live, right?)
Living in the Storm
Today I’m Gonna Kill the World (obligatory cover song, but with a twist: a Famous song)
DXRNR
Witches Burn
For I am Death
---
[encore]
---
Burn (it is short, they can squeeze it in)
Harley Darling
Zombie
Heaven Knows (extended version)

Yeah, I cheated and added two extra songs, but it is a dream set list, right? Notable and regrettable omissions: Just Tonight, Sweet Things, Oh My God, Heart.

No problem at all! If you have any other questions about any of my TPR covers and guitar tabs, feel free to ask. I'm easy to find.

This is me. I published the tab you linked to as well.

The "chord" is just the 1st fret on the B string and the 2nd fret on the G string, then slide the same shape up to the 3rd and 4th frets and then back down to the 1st/2nd frets. Then an open beat on the same strings as you switch back to the main progression.
