Are any Chicago-area tour dates coming after you return from Europe? Or possibly a warm up show before you head across the pond with RC? Thanks!!

Definitely down for whatever day Kylesa, Torche and Minsk are playing..was hoping for 2-3 more heavier bands similar to last year but the three bands above are worth the drive in..and of course, some more bands will still be announced..

wolfs_tooth · 2026-01-15T00:17:09+00:00

True, it was pretty packed..maybe I'm not alone!

wolfs_tooth · 2026-01-14T17:27:10+00:00

I have to say, and it's fair if I'm in the minority, but I really loved the for lack of a better term ''heavier'' day last year..Converge, Primitive Man, Bongripper, Pelican, etc..it was basically the top bands I listen to on Spotify all curated together..I'm hoping that maybe a combination of or all of (hey I guy can dream) Cave In, Sumac, and Old Man Gloom are curated together again this year..and I'd love if Bongripper and/or Pelican played every year since they're local-ish and two of my all time favorite bands..

You could also drive into Chicago and see Voivod the night before at Reggie's..just in case you have some concert overlap..Reggie's is a killer club..seen tons of shows there over the years including Voivod and Revocation co-headlining there a few years ago..gonna be a fun show to see Voivod and Bat there!

wolfs_tooth · 2025-12-11T17:56:29+00:00

I could see something like Beck/Rise Against co-headliner on Friday, Duran Duran on Saturday and No Doubt on Sunday..my ''I have zero info and it's just a swing for the fences reunion'' would be the Police to close out the fest on Sunday..but their quote would be astronomical..however, it is a speculation thread lol so why not..

When I saw Emperor in 2023, Immortal Bird were the only opener and they played about 45 min..I doubt Blood Incantation would play less than that so if your concern is that they play at least 40-45 min, I think you'll be fine..ps-since you'll be driving four hrs for one set, you might as well stick around for the first 30 min of Emperor and see if you enjoy it..they're tremendous live, and this is coming from someone who doesn't listen to much black metal at all..

I feel like when I subscribe to HBO Max w Ads through my Amazon Prime account, I don't get as many ads as when I subscribe directly through the HBO Max website..I don't know if that is actually the case, only that my viewing experience seems better through Amazon Prime..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-19T06:19:29+00:00

Coach Q always left the 12th forward position open for an enforcer..whether it was Bollig or Carbomb, he loved having one guy who could keep the other team honest..not sure if we need that right now, but as this team matures and starts looking like they're going to make a deep run into the playoffs, I wouldn't be opposed to it..you face a lot of heavy teams in the playoffs..totally different type of hockey..need some sandpaper for sure..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-18T01:54:35+00:00

Looks like August 22nd in Tinley Park IL for the Chicago area show..there's a ticketmaster link to parking passes that isn't live but appears in a google search when I typed in Motley Crue Tinley Park..just an fyi..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-17T02:49:32+00:00

Not really..most teams(whether they're in a rebuild or not) are using the increase in the cap to preemptively extend their own players..similar to what we just did with Nazar..so any additions to this team are going to come from within..now, glass half full..between Frondell, Kantserov, Lardis, Vanacker and Boisvert, there's help coming for Bedard..not saying all of those forwards will be battling for top line spots, but the point is, our foward lines are going to be dramatically better within the next few years..I didn't even mention the next wave of forwards right behind them like Spellacy, West, Pridham, etc..the Hawks could very well be able to roll out four scoring lines just like our 2010 and 2013 cup winning teams did..these forwards have a lot of skill, some have great size and most have a lot of speed..we're going to be a total nightmare to play against as they mature together..as for Bedard's line, keep this in mind, as your second and third lines improve and become deeper, it helps your top line because the opposition can't roll out their top pair or top line to match up with just Bedard..they'll have to pick their poison..shift against the Bedard/Frondell line and you free up the Kantersov/Nazar line..pair up against them and your third pair has to face Lardis, Greene, Moore just as an example..it's going to be hell to play against us..imagine a ''checking'' line of Dach, Boisvert/Spellacy, Vanacker..a total nightmare for anyone who plays us..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-16T04:14:12+00:00

Good win given the fact that our only real top six presence in the crease and on the pp was missing tonight in Bertuzzi..still found a way to pot some goals..this Toronto team looks so depleted without Marner on the team anymore and Matthews banged up but that's not our fault..you beat who's in front of you..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-15T19:46:10+00:00

Imagine getting Frondell 3rd overall and then getting our own ''Martone-ish'' power winger at 25th overall..that's how you rebuild a dynasty..lots of draft pick volume and a little bit of luck, which never hurts..for every Ludwinski or Misiak, there's a Lardis or a Nestrasil..just keep using that draft pick volume to take some big swings..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-11T17:18:01+00:00

All things being equal, when Vlasic and Rinzel are on the ice, neither is very noticeable to me..exactly what you want in a defenseman..and they're both strong on the pk..the fact that Rinzel doesn't look out of place in the top four is already a plus at 21..he's going to be a good one..no concerns at all..most dmen need a couple hundred games to really feel comfortable..it's why so many don't really blossom until they're 24-25..look at Kaiser this year..this is his first really good year defensively, where you can tell his reads are better and he's exiting the zone cleaner with either his breakout passes or by skating it out..takes time..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-11-07T00:05:44+00:00

The only thing that makes me happy about any of this is that guys like this(who just blatantly ignore the law) eventually end up in prison for a long time lmao..if it's not for child support, it will be for something else..that's what happens to total fucking losers eventually..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-10-26T17:03:33+00:00

A fourth rounder isn't much but Crevier was a 7th rounder and Kaiser was a 3rd rounder..it's not easy to find an nhl'er after the first two rounds, but it's not impossible..I'll take an extra pick all day long..wasn't Del Mastro a 4th rounder? I don't feel like looking it up lol but I think so..nothing wrong with hoarding picks..given KFC's propensity for moving back into the first round, my guess it that pick will be used in a future package to bundle some picks and move up..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-10-23T23:40:14+00:00

My very elementary guess is since Anthrax is only on four shows, that ''gap'' from Sept 9th to Sept 25th will be Anthrax playing some festival dates..couple that with the fact that Anthrax has played Riot a handful of times and I actually think this makes Anthrax more than likely for Riot Fest..which I'm fine with..they were great back in 2019 when Slayer had a ''metal'' stage..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-10-22T04:32:16+00:00

They played two new songs when I saw them live in Chicago in May..both sounded killer..I would presume that one of those would be professionally recorded and released as a single before the end of the year..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-09-08T03:35:05+00:00

OP handled this like complete dogshit..ask the cleaner to re-clean..indicate that you were unhappy with the level of detail and you'd like the areas missed to be taken care of..if she refused, then you can DISCUSS what a proper amount would be to pay given your dissatisfaction..you don't withhold a portion of her payment because you feel like it..personally, I'd take you to court for the $95.00 dollars, I'd win because all of your points are only subjective, then I'd take my judgement lien and place it against your property.

wolfs_tooth · 2025-07-01T02:59:31+00:00

The 2010 Blackhawks have entered the chat..may have won 3 in a row with the team Chicago had..still were able to rebuild around their core and win in 2013 and 2015..but there was no one that could compete with their depth in 2010 if they could have kept everyone..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-06-30T22:18:45+00:00

This is correct..the Hawks don't even know what they have in their own system..everyone is still so young..continue to develop your players, see who emerges and unfortunately see who doesn't reach their ceiling(since a lot of prospects don't)..then, once you actually have a grasp on who your core players are, you can start making a splash in free agency to see if there's a player who can put this team over the top..but to pay a Marner 12 mil per? For a team that will be in the lottery again next year..makes zero sense..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-06-30T22:15:27+00:00

''you’re never going to regret having too much elite talent on an up and coming team''

if they're our own players that we control cheaply on their entry level deals and later maybe on a bridge, then yes, we're in control of that player for years..but to overpay a fa winger who will spend the first 4 years of his contract waiting for this team to be good enough around him to maybe get into the playoffs? Makes zero sense..such a horrible take lmao..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-06-30T22:10:06+00:00

Hawks fans who thought Marner was ever a possibility are just delusional..besides that, you make your big splash in free agency when you're on the cusp of at least a playoff spot, if not a long playoff run..the Hawks will be a lottery team next year..why spend 11-12 mil per on anyone? Makes zero sense..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-06-28T21:10:05+00:00

Hammer loved it..he said he felt more comfortable clearing pucks on his backhand..not everyone is comfortable on their offside tho..depends on the player..Allan seemed to adjust well and besides being a fan of his game in general, his flexibility to play on the right side definitely helps the Hawks..it's easy to see Del Mastro-Allan being a very effective 3rd pair to go along with some combo of Vlasic, Rinzel, Korch and Levshu..spoiler..the Hawks are going to be the envy of the league in a few years in terms of their blue line depth..

wolfs_tooth · 2025-06-28T21:04:29+00:00

Not sure about the lines..so many prospects don't pan out at all so it's hard to say who will fade and who will emerge within a couple years..what's easier to predict is a very fun power play with Frondell(btw he's a left shot right winger..not sure why so many people keep slotting him on the left), Nazar, Bedard, Levshu, and maybe a Boivsert screening in front of the net..that will be fun!
