I just saw Between The Buried And Me in concert for the first time a few moments ago. Yeah the photo is blurry and shitty but still I’m still sharing it cause they’ve been my favorite band since 2011 (I’m a late bloomer), after I only finally gave them a chance (after many recommendations in the 2000’s) because Tommy was one of the guests on a Devin Townsend album, among the greatest guests possible (Ihsahn, Akerfeldt, Duplantier, Masvidal, Thordendal, …). But I immediately fell “in love” and had no opportunity to see them live till now.
If you like prog metal but you’ve never gave them a chance because they’re listed as “metalcore”, I suggest you don’t be a dumb-dumb like me and not waste years before finally listening to one of their albums (or even better, live albums)
Oof LaBrie live, you must be able to endure anything 😅 (jk)
I couldn’t stand Dream Theater in the 90’s when my big brother listened to it (and I was a teen just getting into metal, mainly thrash and extreme), but after listening to Coma Ecliptic I now really like them (and Yes)
