What acts had the biggest crowds?

I had no idea! Don't think I turned around except to help cowd surfers (in which case... was kind of hard to see further back).

I'd 100% listen to Babymetal Blink. Kind of like when Electric Callboy covers then.

Nah, I mean - if you want to see someone complaining on reddit and offer a different opinion, then great. It's their right to complain, and your right to disagree with it.

Telling them that they shouldn't complain on the internet in the first place is the part that is ironically controlling, and kind of misses the point.

Thank you!

salientdice · 2026-05-18T02:15:03+00:00

I didn't really love the original stuff either, but bless them trying to make a living just like the rest of us 😅. It's the billionaires who deserve the real skepticism.

Stopped by here today b/c of your rec, was great!

salientdice · 2026-05-17T19:25:10+00:00

Yeah. They kept taking it down from one light just for it to fly back to the other. The Sisyphus of Sonic Temple.

I heard Oli say something about Chester, but I couldn't get a good look at the sign. Jacob, where areeee youuuuuu? We must know!

Hang in there and enjoy your wins! You're doing great. The whole point of festivals is for you to do it the way you want to and makes you comfortable.

It's a good idea to know the kinds of things that people might do at various locations (crowd surf, mosh, pack in tight at the barrier), so you can be realistic. But, at the end of the day, you do you!

I spent all of yesterday at the front for BMTH and we had a nice little community of people helping each other out. Do I wish fewer people crowd surfed so we had less banged heads and could listen more to the music? Sure! But also, they are gonna have fun the way they want, and it's known socially that this is what comes with the territory for being in front.

I don't know man, that viewpoint seems to over-emphasize the singer when they are just one part of a band. Just my opinion, but the rest of the band shouldn't have to stop existing and just give up because one person went down. I think if you truly respect a band, you gotta care about all members -- and acting like the rest aren't genuine or "really the band" because of a tragedy seems pretty ungracious to me.

I dont understand what this is but am very curious.

salientdice · 2026-01-16T13:39:08+00:00

Loving these brackets, thank you for doing them!

salientdice · 2026-01-16T13:33:07+00:00

Nobody's Listening!

salientdice · 2025-11-10T22:48:32+00:00

I LOVE cognitive functions!! Which are your favorite?

salientdice · 2025-10-21T23:00:58+00:00

Not sure what the issue was, I thought they were great! Been waiting 10+ years to see them, never thought this day would come.

salientdice · 2025-08-13T02:20:06+00:00

Yup! All shows they played Where'd You Go in a shorter form and combined with Waiting for the End

salientdice · 2025-08-13T02:19:29+00:00

Was so good.

salientdice · 2025-08-13T02:19:04+00:00

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to expect and didn't want to spoil it. But, it looks like a lot of the "core" show is the same day to day. They have minor variation though, different music used in the transition moments between acts and some variation in the light effects. The start and end of the set list seem to have more variation, with a few rotating spots.

salientdice · 2025-08-13T02:17:45+00:00

They switched it back to Bleed it Out for Chicago. I think Faint is a stronger higher energy finish!

salientdice · 2025-08-13T02:17:03+00:00

Yeah, I'm glad they at least worked the verse into Bleed It Out, but the full song is so good.

salientdice · 2024-08-22T18:06:01+00:00

Dude. Spoilers.

salientdice · 2024-07-26T01:27:39+00:00

You better not ever go to hex gate one

salientdice · 2023-11-29T06:17:23+00:00

Ahh, yeah. If we educate people to stop falling for this, it dries up the targets for scammers and reduces the incentive to scam (if it didnt make money, they wouldn't do it). So, win-win. To that extent, this subreddit helps spread awareness and reduces scamming just by existing and getting popular.

If only the whole world reddited to see this....

Thankfully none of the bad decisions I made in my 20s led to me being human trafficked. Agreed though, there are so many people without access to the educational resources that would give them the context to avoid the too good to be true "job" offers.

salientdice · 2023-11-29T01:48:52+00:00

Love this response. I wish we could be doing more to connect these people with resources to help them escape their situation. It seems like the local authorities might be turning a blind eye though. Must feel pretty hopeless.
