is it just me or does it seem like the quality of their stuff has really gone down, i mean the song is great and all but they are playing in some small rinky dink theatre
@@Dreded100 Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, power metal is a lot smaller in the US and Canada and bands that might be big-name bands in other places with a bigger musical focus on metal generally won't pack theaters bigger than this. The only ones that do are the really old ones that have name recognition like Metallica, Rush (back when they still played), Judas Priest, etc. Whether that's good or bad depends on your preference. Personally I think it's good, at least for fans, because the atmosphere of a club or a small theater is generally more intimate than a giant stadium, and also the prices are way cheaper. I can go see a show for $35-50 and have a great time, whereas a stadium show isn't going to cost less than $150-200 for decent seats. The fact that clubs/theaters are usually just general admission rather than seats is also nice, since you can choose to be in the front, back or middle depending on how you feel at the time, and you don't have to worry about paying extra for good seats instead of paying less for shit ones. Of course, the downside is that there's less profit in it for the bands, so they tend to tour less frequently and in fewer places. I'm lucky in that I'm close to Chicago, so a lot of bands tend to play near me, but if you live further away from one of the bigger cities it can be really hard to see the bands you want to. Paying $35 for a concert feels a lot worse when you have to travel 4+ hours away and potentially stay overnight, paying all included costs like gas and hotel fees on top of the ticket prices. Stadium shows also often (but definitely not always) have better sound systems. Occasionally small theaters have really terrible sound systems that can ruin even good shows. Particular shoutouts to the Phoenix Theater in Toronto, whose sound system is so bad that it has ruined both Kamelot + Dragonforce and The Buzzcocks, leading to me automatically writing off any show that plays there no matter how much I want to see the band. Even for really good bands it's not worth the money when the drums are tuned so loud that you can't hear any of the other instruments. Stadium shows generally don't have that problem unless your seats are absolute dogshit. Overall it's a balance but I personally like the smaller and more intimate shows.
I was in concerts in Soccer Stadions and Basement Clubs. The Basement was better to be honest. For example the singer just appeared randomly in the crowd. And some drank with one of the bands while another one was on stage. Small Clubs are more personal and pretty cool. Also if you're anxious like me you can enjoy a small show more.
@@phirone7499 Agreed. I'm not going to say that big stadium shows are bad or anything; I saw Green Day at one and they were fantastic, and I saw Rush at the United Center in Chicago and they were amazing as well. The bigger venues can be just as good as the smaller ones, but neither of those shows were as intimate as the small clubs that metal bands always play at. I'm happy to go see a band I like wherever they're playing, so long as I have the money for it and I don't have to travel too far, but if I had the choice I'd always prefer to go to a smaller venue over a larger one.

That's fairly typical of a European band. They play giant festivals all through Europe and then come to the US and play small clubs.
But i Think this is bigger then What we se for here
