^ I want that tour to come to the rest of Europe as wel... Gojira holy fk! I feel bad for Volbeat and AB with an opener like that haha! But then again, I guess the crowd will be kinda divided between hard rock and metal.

edit: I might just go to Cologne instead of Amsterdam then, since Gojira will be there.

gjoira doesnt really fit with AB and Volbeat.. but i guess it will attract extra people to the gig as some will come for gojira and others for AB and or volbeat.

Nothing wrong with exposing AB to a wider audience :peace

There's still a support act for Amsterdam to become announced. Maybe Gojira, maybe not.
And why not both?

Volbeat is opening for them in UK because Volbeat isn't popular there. In continental part of Europe it would be Alter Bridge supporting them

Most continental dates are just AB and Like a Storm, if I understand it properly.

Yeah. I just wanted to say if that UK tour with Volbeat and Gojira happened in continental part it would have Volbeat as headliners.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough :D

I'm really excited to hear that Gojira are touring with Alter Bridge. When I saw AB last I told myself I wouldn't see them again, but I certainly can't refuse this one. I'm not sure how Gojira will go down with the overall AB fanbase though. I mean this with no disrespect to Alter Bridge, but I anticipate that Gojira will upstage them.




They are one of the most important bands in metal at the moment. I just hope they don't tone down their set too much.

Volbeat doesn't fit with AB either. Furthermore i think they are kinda overrated. They had like 2 radio hits in Germany which were off their first record. Since then they only released bland pieces of music. Still they were one of the headliners at Rock am Ring. Eh... i fucking hate these kind of bands that get fame for nothing lol.

^^ In all fairness, if we were talking about Five Finger Death Punch, I would be inclined to agree with you. That stated, Volbeat must have done something right if they were able to headline arenas and festivals in the non-UK part of the Europe. Also, I just heard their latest album, Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie, yesterday. I actually like it better than I thought I would. Enjoyed it better than Gojira's Magma (still all right, though, albeit a little too doomy/gloomy for my taste).
