Please send a review of this show. I have seen them 3 or 4 times. Love them. So are they officially back together for good?

I’m probably not gonna go but maybe


Maybe to go support a friend that’s in one of the bands but I remember being in high school and thinking the sword was cringe and I saw them around that time. Aren’t they just a guitar hero band? Also why is metal the only thing people show up for in br


ETA: before yall judge for not supporting my friend I went to the trenches of mcb like twice. Support burnout is real

I'll be there. Can't wait. Hopefully The Sword just plays their shite and no covers. Waited 8 years to see them live again. I want to hear The Sword and not ZZTopp or Thin Lizzy lol

Everybody crushed. Sword only played the hits.


Butchers dozen only had 2 real musicians outta 6 people. Shallholla needs a better guitarist. He's not bad but need so much more for a 3 piece.

We literally said the same exact thing to each other.

First time seeing the sword and enjoyed the frick outta it.

Quick review:

Swamp stank was very good and the new singer was amped up. Very entertaining frontman and had my attention for their short set. Their style is all over the place and I enjoyed it.

Shalholla: loved the dynamics of their songs. Fast slow quiet loud. They could use another guitar player to thicken up the sound.

The sword: veteran incredibly tight band who brought it.

I’m told it was a soft sellout. Only a few tickets short of being completely at cap.

Agree with the take above.

I really enjoyed Stank. That was solid. Liked Shol too but another guitarist would give them a boost. I thought the guy they have now is solid.

I love The Sword so much. Ninth time seeing them. Glad they are back together. Only issue we had was the vocals didn't come in that well for this show and Kyle's guitar was in and out a few times. A few of his solos did not come through at all but he was definitely licking them. Can't wait to see them again and again.

I had trouble hearing the vocals too. I've noticed the sound in that place varies depending on where you're standing. Maybe I was in the wrong spot.

Not sure there was a right spot, I was in front of the soundboard and it still sounded muddy.
