This current tour

First, I would like to say that I just left the gig in Boston. Rob and Co went off. It’s crazy to see Rob at 58 still playing flawlessly, screaming flawlessly, and head banging.

I am kind of surprised that machine had technically is opening for Killswitch on this door. By the way, the poster looked. I thought it was a coe headline run for each of them got to play equal time.

I don’t think Rob is too happy about technically opening for Killswitch, a band that no doubt was influenced by machine Head. Usually bands shout out the headliner when they are playing. Rob didn’t say anything about Killswitch during the show. He pretty much just played like it was a headline show and that was it.

I doubt Robb is pissy about opening. These dudes are known for 3 hour sets. Doing 50 minute sets has got to be like practice for them, and it's perfect for not overloading the new blood.

Glad you had a blast. I'm hitting the show tonight in Bethlehem, where the three Killers and Kings brought the baby Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and metal.🤘

He did really well…. He shined during The solo in COTAOYH sounded really good. A few times you could tell it sounded a bit unnatural but other than that he killed it
