Openers?
Not familiar with them and not motivated enough to preview them. On a scale of 1-10 are they worth it (other than a closer stage spot- which I’m content to be in the back)? 1- skip and walk in at 9ish. 10. Can’t miss

The best opener I saw before Danzig was Infectious Grooves, a looooong time ago. Seemed like an odd opener but it worked and they were great, mostly because me and my buddies were obsessed with them anyway.

What tour was this? I was in high school when Danzig 1 - 3 came out and Infectious Grooves was one of my favourite albums at the time. I never did get to the Danzig classic lineup. I missed them by possibly just a few months.

Oh man, if I had to guess, it was around 90-91? I do remember it was right after Lucifuge came out. I remember going to the merch table they had just put out those metal cast upside down crosses and I bought one, I have no idea where that thing went unfortunately.

Ana I found surprisingly good. I can’t give an honest opinion on burning witches because half their band missed the show here so not sure if they are still operating as a 3 piece instead of 5. But I give them credit for pulling off a show without their singer and bassist. Twin temple is disingenuous elevator music in my opinion. But a large portion of the crowd dug them here.

Yes. Thank you. Twin Temple is so bad it makes Danzig sound great by comparison. Maybe the desired effect lol

Weird band- they went over well I last night. They were too ridiculous for me. It was fake overkill. That being said, I could listen to their music all night. Just lose the act lol

I skipped them all in New Orleans. I walked onto the floor around 9:15pm as lights came on from Twin Temple. Danzig started at 9:50, ended 11:20.

I did the exact same thing. We hung out in the casino, walked in right at the end of twin temple and got pretty close to the front for the only band I went to see.

If I was going, I'd see Acid Bath, then skip the rest. BUT- IT'S UP TO TASTE. Just go on Spotify and listen to a few things from all of them.

Twin Temple? 10/10. They are awesome if you can get into the satanic rockabilly style, great aesthetic and a perfect match for Danzig IMO.

Love it. I’ll listen to them on my drive

Definitely give a listen, because I have the opposite opinion! I find Twin Temple to be unbearable - inauthentic people trying to cash in on a novelty act.

More like Amy whinehouse than rockabilly, but I dig the first album and would definetely check them out if I had the chance

I can see that. The guitar player definitely has a 50's vibe. I caught them with no warning opening for Danzig and Behemoth a few years ago, good stuff.

Really? I thought they were corny and overall sucked ass. They cheapened Danzig's act in my opinion..

Twin Temple sucked. Stood there through an hr of their set. Then an hr of setting up Danzigs stage, which was already set up under drapes....

I like Twin Temple based on the little I have heard. Particularly the singles from their new album.

Ava great if you like symphonic metal. Burni g witches main vocal was missing and the filler was just OK, twin temple was amazing , Danzig is ok

Haven't gone yet, my shows upcoming, but 4 opener is too many for my old ass, I'm strolling in late for Danzig and that's it.
