Red Fang Tickets

The venue, sound, and crowd were all top notch! Easily the best way to see a band I've loved for so long.

I had just started listening to Red Fang a couple of months prior to this show and was absolutely amazed by their performance. They could have played a bigger venue and filled it. A&R Music Bar is a great venue with awesome parking. They also have a great patio area. Very pleased with this event!! \m/

Red Fang is an excellent live band. If you're into heavy grooves and alternating vocals, check these guys out. An amazing live band that does not disappoint. I've seen them several times and will continue to go back for more.

Red Fang killed it. Their openers a band called Torches and a band called Whores were awesome as well. Hell of a show to go to for my first.

Tight, focused, rawkin'! Second time I've seen Red Fang. They don't dissapoint.

Red Fang puts out some awesome music... Red Fang live takes it to another level of awesome! I highly recommend checking them out when they come to a town near you.

Living in metro-Atlanta has blessed me with the availability to see concerts frequently (even if my job prevents me from going to all the shows I would like). Maybe I have gotten spoiled in my old age. Maybe I am truly becoming the creepy old guy at the heavy metal show my friend Jay ribs me about becoming. Anyway I try to rationalize it, last night was not the best show. I arrived later than I usually arrive for a show a the Masquerade, forcing me to pay $5 for gated parking, instead of getting the free parking on the street. I found Hell (the basement club inside The Masquerade) packed, which is cool, but makes it hot as heck. I snagged an ice cold Diet Coke (I quit drinking 23 years ago) and made the rounds, checking the merch tables and trying to score a spot. No barstools to be had, the pit was full and I headed for the sound booth, to lean against a post. It was getting hotter as more bodies packed in and I was desperate for the first band to start the show. American Sharks hit the stage a little later than I had hoped. The sound guy seemed to have not realized there was a complete absence of midrange from the mix and the sound was very clipped. Couple bad sound with music that literally did nothing for me (for the record, I’m not called That Nerdy Metal Guy for nothing; I am a metalhead through and through), I headed outside to read Creative Loafing, play Words with Friends and drink my Diet Coke. Apparently, I was not alone. Hell holds around 200+ souls; about 50 were outside smoking, with another 25 hanging in Purgatory (another club in the building). AS ended there set and the crowd re-entered Hell, me following the flow. I was suddenly amazed with realization there were A LOT of women at this show. Red Fang is not top 40, not glamorous metal, not anything I would imagine most women enjoying. I looked around counted at least 30 very pretty young women wearing heels and little black dresses. I’m still baffled. After the disastrous initial opener, I was eager for the next band to catch a fire and pump me up. I was let down, completely. Big Business reminded me of The Deftones and The Chariot, though more melodic with better song structures. There was a lot of extraneous noise and my ass headed back outside, along with a full HALF of the patrons. I leaned against the wall, as my bench was overrun with smokers, and contemplated my options. As I was debating whether or not I really wanted to stay, a skinny long-haired guy in a wife beater walked up to me. “Do you like Pantera?”, he asked. “They’re ok, but I really like Down”, I responded. The conversation took off. We discussed his musical career, both of our day jobs, his band was there and they joined in, discussing favorite bands, albums, weather and anything else. It made the night worth staying to hang out. Big Business ended and we meandered back inside. Red Fang very quickly set up and hit the stage with a vengeance, as if they realized they had to rescue the night single-handedly. They opened their set with ferocity I have not seen since Maylene last played Atlanta. They opened with “Malverde”, setting the pace for the night, aurally assaulting the crowd with a sonic sledgehammer that laid nay-sayers to waste. For the next 45 minutes they brutalized my mind and put a huge smile on my face. Being an adult (and a responsible one at that) comes with a price. I looked at my watch and realized that if I was to be able to make ti work on time in the morning, it was time to head home. I hit the merch table, snagged a Red Fang shirt and headed home.

Red Fang kicked ass!!!! The only thing that could have been better was if the vocals were turned up a bit. Both microphones were turned down. Other than that the show was Great!!!

Both opening bands were amazing, and Red Fang was everything that I hoped.

Red fang was awesome, american sharks were great and it was the first time ive seen big business they were very good
