YEEHAW!!



quote:
Roadburn is also extremely happy to announce that the legendary Canadian avant-metal quartet Voivod will be performing two separate shows at Roadburn 2011 (one in the 013 venue, and one at the Midi Theater). The band have the core line-up of Away, Snake and Blacky, and guitarist Daniel Mongrain who has done an exceptional job filling in for the late, great Piggy. Both shows will be different, so that diehards can look forward to two full sets.

Formed in 1981 by KISS-worshipping French Canadian teenagers Denis “Piggy” D’Amour and Jean-Yves “Blacky” Thériault, Voivod soon transcended their humble origins and have been on the cutting edge of metal almost ever since – first on the extreme edge of raw, bestial thrash, then (astonishingly) just a few years later as technical, progressive metal masterminds, inhabiting a strange sci-fi universe based on the ideas and artwork of the band’s resident graphics genius and conceptual visionary, drummer Michel “Away” Langevin. Over the course of their nearly 30 year career, Voivod have never stopped venturing boldly into new sonic realms, brilliantly incorporating everything from industrial metal to alt-punk pop and of course Pink Floydian psychedelia into their unique sound…

But they should need no introduction at all to most metalheads, really – if you’re into metal, chances are you’re a Voivod fan, and mourned when founding guitarist Piggy tragically succumbed to cancer in 2005. In a perfect world, Piggy would still be with us, and also in a perfect world, Voivod would be a household name, rather than just mega cult heroes. It’s saying something though, that when Jason Newsted left Metallica, the band he decided to join was Voivod!

Roadburn is pleased to have the latest edition of Voivod but rather than Jason Newsted they’ll have original bassist Blacky the band, alongside original vocalist Denis “Snake” Bélanger, and touring guitarist Daniel Mongrain (Martyr, Gorguts, Cryptopsy) to perform exclusively material from when Blacky was in the band, from their 1984 debut War & Pain through to 1988′s Dimension Hatröss, which would also encompass such classic albums as Killing Technology (1987) and possibly their ultimate statement, Nothingface (1989).

Awesome. Been to Roadburn every year for the past 5 years. Fingers x-ed I'll get there next year too. Warning - this will sell out FAST.

Hopefully see you all there!

Shit, I need to move out of the states, all the good festivities are far from here.

I hope Voivod returns to the Bay Area again, last time I saw them was with Testament and Nuclear Assault at the Warfield.It's been a few minutes since I saw them last...I think I was 15? Sad isn't it?

Hahaha ... yep Harry, looks easy, but I'd have to take a chance between RB and the Summer Festivals.

Anyhow a very important part of the experience would be to meet again with some/hopefully all of you guys, so that is a big deciding factor ... difficult math there, dude!

Winter (yes... WINTER) have reformed to play Roadburn. The only way I'll miss this is due to death. Even then I'll climb out of hell to be there!

Me and Meg are no go.
We're most likely off to Montana and other places for a month next summer. Planning a roadtrip so someone might get a visit

This festival is insane though. Voivod twice, Winter and then SunnO))) to send peoples poop into orbit...

Maybe you can try the next days once in a while, because every year there are some issues with online bookings what make some tickets available again via the official channels.

Good luck!

I thought of this and even pre-registered with NL Ticketmaster, but knew I'd never have a chance as I recalled last year's sold out on the day of sale too. Oh well. I'm SOL again. Maybe it's time for me to invest in a computer for the house...haha.

Can't wait for Roadburn. It will be my 4th year in a row and I'm so happy Voivod will be doing 2 shows.

I just registered a 2nd time here because I can't remember my password and the email address they'd send the lost one too has been gone for years. Anybody know the contact email for the administrators. When I click on the contact button i just get an outlook express thing opening on my computer, which I don't use.

Deaf tired and a sore neck..., but here are some pics of the first of two Roadburn shows.

They played a killer set and the complete venue had a real blast. They also played Forlon of Phobos and a brand new song. Damn they kicked ass last night. Met up with Paul, H and Leslie and had a drink. I had a great night and hope it will be as amazing tonight like last night.

I almost forgot to take some pictures, what was a god sign for sure
