Rock Allegiance Tour Tickets

The show was undersold and took place in the basement of the Greensboro Coliseum. I paid $50 for tickets in advance, but they were selling them for $15 each the day of the show. The first band of the line up, "Airbourne", was a no show. It appeared that "All That Remains" was using a vocal background track to lip synch with and that the drummer was using a drum machine to produce a double base beat with only one base drum. The third band, "HIM", was a skinny young bohemian dressed kid backed by awesome musicians. The final act was Volbeat, a middle aged group, who referred to their music as "church" and "our Sunday" repeatedly even though it was Monday night. Volbeat sounded like they do on the radio.

I bought tickets solely because I wanted to see Volbeat, and wow, they did not disappoint. They sounded AMAZING in person and really had the crowd going. You know how some bounds sound crappy in person-well, Volbeat is not one of them. I had the time of my life. While, I'm not a fan of HIM or All that Remains, I must admit, HIM sounded great too. "Love Metal" just isn't my thing, not is heavy metal courtesy of All That Remains. However, the fans who were there to see these bands seemed to be having a great time. So glad I went to this event!

This was all about Volbeat. Not really sure why this is a "Rock Allegiance" tour - this is Volbeat with a couple warmup bands. It was pretty annoying that the first band advertised wasn't even there. Maybe they had a good reason, but the thing is, no official at the event had even heard there were supposed to be 4 bands. Kind of a ripoff, since that's the band I wanted to see second most. The acoustics in the venue (not main coliseum - this was a secondary stage venue) were not very good. Hard to tell when All That Remains just didn't sound that great. HIM was slightly better. I'd heard that they were kind of weak. It's true they didn't have the same energy as the other bands, but musically they were more together. Doesn't matter. It was all about Volbeat. They were fantastic. One of the best bands I've ever seen. I love it when a band really knows how to play, and shows the crowd they really want to be there and appreciate you being there. I could have done without the mosh pit, but that's the price you pay sometimes to get close to the stage I guess. A Social Distortion cover thrown in there would have been a good touch.

Volbeat did not disappoint. They sounded amazing! Played a good setlist and interacted with the crowd. One of the best live performances I have ever seen!

Overall the show was awesome but I'm still figuring out how HIM ended up in this line up. The rest of the bands killed it and put on a great show but HIM was a hard pill to swallow and they played almost a 45 minute set which by a certain point people were getting pissed and yelling at them to get off the stage. I would definitely recommend the show though.

The show was overall very amazing. I attended the Greensboro Avenue for HIM, and yet for all acts, I had a great time. Yes, there was an obvious bias for Volbeat and thus some fans did have a snobbish attitude against those there for any other band, but regardless the bands were fantastic and really, fans should never be the judgement of the actual bands. Airbourne, unfortunately, did not play at our event. I do not remember there being a public announcement of this, but hopefully Airbourne fans were alerted somehow. All That Remains had wonderful crowd energy, though when speaking with fans who were more familiar with their music than I, there was heavy suspect of lip-syncing. True or not, they had good energy and showmanship. Volbeat similarly played very well with their audience, and their sound was encompassing; I can see why it has such a big following. HIM played second to last - their place as one of the headliners (Fifteen songs). And while I wouldn't have put them in the same crowd as these other guys, they did spectacularly anyway. Most of the crowd was singing along to every single song, and anyone sporting a heartagram - and even those who weren't - were smiling the entire time and jumping around. Expect crowd surfing. The vocals were amazing, the solos were fantastic, and overall, it was well worth EVERYTHING to see them. I recommend the event to anyone and everyone.

Volbeat is my wife's favorite these days, so I got her tickets as a birthday present. She loved it! They did put up a great show. They seem to enjoy themselves being on stage. The venue was small and it sure didn't look sold out, but it did not stop the band from giving their best. The crowed seemed a little flat to start, but came alive thanks to "Pastor" Michael's gospels. All That Remains and HIM seemed to have plenty of fans in attendance. ATR had good energy and crowd interaction and are a more typical metal band. HIM I find hard to label as they seemed all over the place. At one point they even sounded like DIO to me - screaming guitar over a keyboard tapestry. Where was Airborne??? My rock/metal roots are mostly in the 80's and I'd loved to witnessed their modern twist on it.

HIM was the best part. Airbourne was a great opener. Great venue. Security way over-the-top.

All 4 bands were incredible! I deffinatly will be spreading the word and attending more concerts!! Whoot Volbeat and ATR were amazing and life changing! This was the best concert for my first!! <3

Went to this show for All That Remains and Volbeat. First time seeing ATR, they were killer, the bassist was stellar and I loved the guttural, didn't realize it was from her until saw them live. It was my sixth time seeing Volbeat, this was the best show, they played all my favs and I was second from front. To top it off I got a pick that was killer in and of itself. Great show had a BLAST!

Wow is what comes to mind at first. I had never really been familiar with Him or Rise Against This but enjoyed both of them with their unique music. Airbourne rocked the house and Volbeat took the show and blew me away. Moshing in the pit was crazy. Got to 4th row during Volbeat. Rock Allegiance Tour did a fabulous event, rock on!!

This is by far one of my favorite bands, so when I foudn out that they were playing jsut days after my birthday weekend in Vegas, I convinced a frined to stay 2 extra nights, so that we can see them live. This was my 4th or 5th time seeing them and as great as ever. I was disappointed with the lack of security not doing antyhing aboutt he MOSHing on the main floor. I do understand it is a heavier Rock concert, but it took away focus from me enjoying the show 100% due to the 20-30 people that decided to get violent and obnoxious!!! HIM, All that Remains, and Airbourne were great, as well!

This is a nice venue to go to a concert. Ventilation was awesome and even with all the energy in there, it didn't get hot and sweltering. Volbeat is absolutely awesome to see live, however Him is horrible and played too long.

Volbeat is what we came for. VOLBEAT is what we got! They are an incredible band! We have seen 3 times now and WILL be seeing them again!

One of the best concerts that I've ever attended. All the bands got on stage and just played, not a lot of talking, just rocking

Volbeat kicked ass!!!! LOUD class act bringing wheel chair kid on stage

The only reason I couldn't give this show 5 stars was the decision to have All That Remains perform before H.I.M. While I do believe H.I.M. put on a good show, I also believe that All That Remains blew them out of the water performance wise and it would have been much more logical to have them play third instead. Airbourne and Volbeat were exactly what I was excepting and did fantastic jobs for an opening act and a headliner, respectively. The decision to have All That Remains play second and H.I.M. play third is truly my only criticism.

All that remains was great as was Airbourne. Not a fan of HIM, so I will keep my mouth shut. Volbeat was energized and clearly loving performing. Their music was spot on and they played music from almost all of their albums. Hope they come back to Vegas soon

Him sucked brought everyone mood down. Not the same music as the other bands.

This is my second time seeing Volbeat and they do not disappoint. For those of you who haven't seen them live and like their music... go see them and go out and buy their early CDs. Their live show is even better than their CDs. The other bands were good as well, but I really only went to see Volbeat.
