Now THIS is something I have wanted to see since the first record.

Anyone else a fan who's going to try and get good tix? I shudder to think what the fucking demand pricing model of Ticketmaster is going to do to floor seats come Thursday......

There is mention in the article and on RATM's site that tickets are available through there but that site isn't loading anything but the concert date page for me.

rage2 this up your alley?

I literally just ranted to my co-worker about how shitty RATM/Tom Morello is.

So, no.

Like WTF is this shit? Let's just randomly molest the guitar, feed it through 18 different effects and call me a great guitarist. Turntable noises? A shitty guitar player like myself can master that in 5 minutes. Fuck that noise. Literally.

One of my biggest peeves is that people think I named myself rage2 because of RATM. I would never name myself something that stupid. I tell them I named myself after a video card.

kerry can vouch for my years of Tom Morello rants.

hahaha, I know it's video card!

I don't think Tom is a god at all, but fuck me I wanna see that show and hope it has a good portion of the aggression of the early years.

I'm not a guitar player so i'm personally not overly concerned with his individual performance lol

Just want to see the band as a whole.

Is this the band that sings about the short jacket and long dress? Or that other one?

Have you never seen them? Because if you have, don't go now. You're too late. Don't soil the memory of those awesome 90's concerts by watching a guy with grey hair trying to sell his effort screaming "Fuck you - I won't do watcha tell me!!!"

On the other hand, if you've seen them 8x already, then go ahead. If you've never seen them... Don't set this up like it's going to define your life.

$0.02

Was interested but tickets are 170 + fees so probably 200+.

Never got the chance to see them in the 90's, regretted not getting that chance then. Was a very big fan through the 90's and early 00's.

Agreed that it will not be the same, and not sure I want to pay the price I expect it to be in such a crappy venue for it. Although, I never thought they would play together after the brief stint in 2011. So I am likely yes to going.

Tom Morello took a really unconventional approach to guitar, he can play, I think he was just looking for something different back then, and no one had heard it like that before.

As floor tickets crested $800 on Ticketmaster's fucked up surge pricing system we see that RATM isn't as anti-capitalist as they used to be hahaha

But, no one is when it's THEIR turn to get paid. That being said "Fuck you I won't pay what you tell me!" :nut:

Nooo, those were charity tickets, they were kinda littered all over the place... all the tickets were 190.. I got in like 1 min after 11am and still couldn't get floor though... Will probably try scalping day of.

No, there was surge pricing. I noticed it as sections started to fill up.

Ended up with a couple tickets in the upper deck cause floor was gone. May see if I can sell these and get floor possibly. Lower deck was more than double what I paid at regular price, not a chance.

Ticketmaster has completely ruined access for people to see events. They claimed they were trying to battle scalpers but really they just middled scalpers out and monopolized that racket, as well.
People should have stood up and fought them with Pearl Jam in the early 90's and that was back when all they were fighting was $10 service charges. Biggest mistake ever.

what price were they going up to? i was watching for like 20 minutes and they were all 190 other than the charity ones?

They kept showing floor tickets and then it would tell me "sorry someone else beat you to it" lol pissed me off

I saw floor tickets go up to $500, then lower row seats were the same. They said Charity on all of them, but that was surge pricing for sure.

Yes, I had to click 10 times and just said screw it and took upper deck. FUCK ticketmaster.

Couldn’t agree more. Tom Morello is definitely the most overrated guitarist that’s seen more covers of Guitar World than he deserves. Any 14 year old kid high on Adderall with a shit ton of effects could do what he does.

Bump.

Tom Morello decides to solo with slash. They basically turned off his guitar so he doesn’t embarrass himself.

Tom Morello says his 12-year-old son “can shred circles” around him (https://www.guitarworld.com/news/roman-morello-jack-black-mr-crowley)

I mean, he’s not wrong.
