HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Just wondering if anyone knows anything more about this? when this is happening or just how BIG it will be?

i know im seeing 2 headlining shows in Aus already but i think this news tells me i should go to this 1 for sure.

Would Dev fill a really BIG place in his home town? Ie. 5000 capacity or bigger?

No way..

Maybe 800-1000 on a very GOOD day...(very good)

Big as in 'lots of songs, and cool surprises' (700 foot inflatable Ziltoid?, $1000 bills hidden in urinals?...)

That sucks so hard... Seing the Dev playing in a filled big venue would be a dream

Devin needs to open for Muse. Simple as that.

Co-headlining Show without support bands

I got to see that dream come true in Phoenix, Arizona

Why does it suck? It will be much more intimate that way. I enjoyed watching Anthrax in a smaller venue (in the mid 90's) where I could get right up to the stage and Scott Ian's sweat was hitting my face.
I also saw Megadeth and Exodus in a relatively small venue, a "theater" in Portland. That was kickass too.

Then again, I got close enough at Ozzfest (late 90's) for Ozzy to shoot me with the super soaker. But that was when I was 20 something and I could take all the beatings required to get up front and center. I don't remember which year it was, but Slayer played.

Hey I just looked up the past history of Ozzfest lineups and my band opened for two of the bands in there! Now I feel all famous . The show where we opened for them was terrible though. Those bands are all wiggity wack, limp bizquick clones. We were a thrash/death metal band. I remember someone shouting "Go back to the 80's!" lol. Even though we weren't that well received, I'll still always remember that show.

I can see that it would suck for Dev monetarily, but as a fan, I think it's awesome. Damn myself for moving away from the Pacific Northwest, one of the best places to live in the US.

I am really looking forward to the Vancouver show. Any clues as to when it will be?

I'm guessing no show in Victoria...

Yeah i totally wrote it wrong, i'm in Dev playing in an "intimate"show doesn't suck, not at all, what does suck is that 1000 people go see him in a "very good day".Talking about popularity, just that but I expressed it really bad

Hahahah! what an asshole, and nowadays their Limb Biscuit's Lame Impersonator bands are dead

when is this big hometown Vancouver show? Depending on the date, I may be able to roadtrip up to Canada to catch it. It'd make my world...

hmmmm....Vancouver is currently in the shortlist for this year's holiday destinations.....if the dates work out this would totally swing it!!
