Are SABATON the BIGGEST Metal Band Live Today? | Tour To End All Tours Interview

[@PrimordialRadio]

Thanks to Hannes for having a chat about their new live concert film 🍿 What do you think, are Sabaton being overlooked as one of the bigger metal bands in the modern era? Should they be headlining more major festivals?

Saw them open for Amon Amarth in Canada a few years back... legit had never heard of them and they blew my mind.

[@PrimordialRadio]

That's awesome, great to hear it's happening for them on the other side of the pond!

Was part of the PRFam group at Leeds the first day of the tour, If this filmed one is half as good as Leeds people are in for a treat. Normally I bemoan the big old boys aren't going away and it's hindering newer bands from stepping up, but Sabaton are one of the ones who did it anyway and graduated to these massive headline tours of their own. As far as the sweatbox thing, but it this way, Par told a story that night, that last time before that they were in Leeds they got paid enough for a couple of beers and it was a little different this time

Existing bands don't hinder new bands otherwise how did the existing bands start? New bands have to develop their audience, same as everyone. Come on

[@garymitchell5899]

Yeah they got more than 'enough money for a few beers'. Come on

Gonna see it in Askersund 20/10 🇸🇪

Are SABATON the BIGGEST Metal Band Live Today? No. Sabaton is really big and really good these days, but the biggest metal band live today? No, it is with no doubt Metallica. But when it comes to "newer" bands, yes, one of the biggest. :)

[@PrimordialRadio]

That is what is intended with the question, not so much comparing to Metallica, Maiden etc but are they the biggest metal band of today? But agreed deffo one of the biggest and perhaps not so well recognised at times!

Bro. Rammstein is WAY bigger

[@V3ntilator]

​@@nemasproductionRammstein announces sold out arena tour before they even sold a ticket. Rammstein 2019 tour had 60 trucks with stage setup and it took a week to set it up. Metallica and Kiss never had as expensive setups.

[@garymitchell5899]

Watched a clip from the current tour the other day and the venue was half empty. And it wasn't large anyway. So, the answer appears to be No.
