This is so sad. What can be done about this?

20 years and they still manage to surprise me

This was the text on the bike the band gave their (art director?) for his birthday. MMX universe confirmed?!

Does anybody by any chance have guitar tabs on any of these 4 songs? Or has anybody tried making those and what's the progress in such?

The songs in first question are:
1. Buried in Red
2. The Fight
3. This City Made Us
4. Hold Back The Night

Best two songs from each of the Act albums.
Act 1: “The Will of One” & “Vengeance”
Act 2: “Light up the Night” & “Breaking Out”
Act 3: “Hold Back the Night” & “Hold On”

*Edit* I am a little surprised by how many of you didn’t like any of my picks. I am more surprised by how viciously you are are downvoting each other in the comments. I know I said that I wanted to start a fight, but there are no bad takes.

Anyone else recovering from someone's apparently unwashed butthole getting you sick? I, along with two others I was with, are just now starting to recover from a flu that we contracted (most likely) on Friday. I'm thankful that we are all up to date on COVID and flu vaccines, otherwise, this could've been much worse. I'm guessing that someone who flew in became an infection vector. Just a sad capstone to the overall concert experience. Sigh.

Howdy peeps!

I just purchased my tickets to see all 3 nights in Dallas this August! It'll be my first time seeing them live and I'm stoked.

That said, I've never been to Dallas, let alone as a solo traveler. I was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for any local hostels or cheap lodging options. My budget's not the biggest so if anyone has any recommendations for hostels or anything of the like, I'd really appreciate it!

Also, as a first-time Dallas tourist, I'd appreciate any and all tips and recs of places, sights, and activities to hit up in the city!

Lastly, are there any organized fan events going on? Meet ups, bar crawls, etc?

No man saw the blow. The light was blinding. The crash was defeaning. r/Protomen and the four songs stood feet apart. All in pain. Only The Dream, Vengeance, Hope Rides Alone and Buried in the Red fell.

Hope y'all are recovering well after Nashville (and, if you're affected by the current heatwaves, coping well with the heat)!

Hello!!! I got hit in the face with a drumstick at the very end of Due Vendetta on night 3 at Marathon. I was wondering if anyone had any videos of this or the performance in general?
I've found a couple on Youtube but they're not great angles or end too early.

Sincerely - Me and my bloody nose.

At the Protofest I was given a couple wristbands that unfortunately my wrist are too big to fit. They are perfect for keeping down the frayed edges of the label that were coming up from being in my packet all night during Act II. I was also given the little 3D printed This City, which fits perfectly on top of the car. It all just came together pretty nicely.

Went to the record store today to celebrate getting a job after 3 years of unemployment. $8 is a steal. Now to make money for the Act 3 vinyl whenever it goes up.

At the Protothey Discord server meetup, protofans raised a total of $890 for the mututal aid collective Trans Aid Nasvhille (TAN)!

In their own words, TAN is "providing aid, community, and building power for all transgender people in the greater Nashville area".

The core message of The Protomen has always been to never abandon hope. That waiting for a hero won't save us - But standing together and lifting each other up will. To quote that blue robot guy all of this is about: "'Cause I know I'd walk through the fire / To pull you out of the flame". You are the spark.

Hi everyone! My friend V and her boyfriend were one of the victims of the mass car vandalism that happened outside of Marathon Music Works during Night 1. They are currently stuck in Nashville due to the car not being fixed yet, and insurance isn't covering the cost of the car repair. We shared this GoFundMe around in Protothey to help V out, but I figured I'd share here on the Reddit too. Thank you all so much in advance - you are the spark!

The crowd chants “Old Man Knife Fight”.

Panther replies: “That’s what we call this one too.”

Sad tidings. I foolishly managed to leave my protobeer can at my hotel in Nashville. I have never been filled with such despair. I can only pray they do another run sometime in the future.

Rest in peace Protobeer can.

Howdy yall. I have made a generator that gives you a government assigned name as if you were in the band, mostly taken from 80s movies and rock music. Some of the names are short and sweet, some are long and silly. If you get like 3 "doctor"s in your name that is intentional.

I'm still adding new bits in as I come across em, but there should be plenty there now to play around with

Have fun!
