Chiodos Band • Page 12

Yeah def wrong that’s from this weekend. They did Chiodos sets the other days of the cruise and then a surprise DRUGS set

 

Ugh I am just so sad to see this band become what it is now.

 

Did anyone go last night or seen videos? Has the performance improved from WWWY?

 

Can’t find a lot of videos, but it does seem he’s actually singing (or at least more often). Huge difference in vocals from wwwy and now

 

What a low bar lol… “Yeah there’s no other previous band members and they use backtracks for parts but at least he’s actually singing sometimes!”

Not attacking you btw just thought it’s funny that’s the level we’re at with Chiodos in 2025.

 

It’s wild how much this ‘reunion’ is retroactively ruining my enjoyment of their music

 

The setlist is pretty fucking sick lol

 

Just got back from Chicago. Definitely high backing tracks at the least. Couple next to us was complaining about it and my party of 4 were all talking about it. My friend said he saw them in 2007 and 2009 and knew immediately from the first few songs shit was sketch and kept saying he sounds way too good to be true.

idk I couldn’t even see most of the time, the venue kinda sucked. Sounded good but yeah idk definitely not fully authentic/a lot of processing.

 

There are some vids on YouTube now and it’s kind of epic! It sucks that there’s no other og members, and Ofcourse Craig Owen’s is a bad person.

 

Sounds like they played a few songs then ended the show tonight because Craig was sick

 

hahahahaha it truly begins

 

Yea you want to believe he was sick….until you know he has a habit of canceling shows literally right before doors, before he went on, or during his set.

 

Well… I’ve seen Craig almost 20 times and the only time something was ever cancelled was when he was opening for Getter as bxc and Getter cancelled the whole tour

 

Your personal experience means it’s never happened surely

 

I think it’s been more post covid, but following his page and drugs page on fb, I’ve seen a lot of statements about canceled shows and shows ending early.

 

Well ya I mean that’s true, but I’ve just never heard of it happening either. Has it really been that common of a thing?

Edit: ah ok perhaps I just haven’t been paying attention more recently

 

From theprp article: For what it’s worth, several fans who claimed to have attended the show have taken to the band’s subreddit, alleging tension on the stage prior to the set being canceled and no apparent signs of illness being exhibited by Owens.
From the subreddit: I was front row. My husband and I watched Craig get into with the bassist. He looked pissed. Then he went over and yelled some shit to the guitarist and was back up front with his head in his hand shaking his head. That man was not sick. He got pissed off at his band mates and walked.

 

as a person who toured on a chiodos headliner once, there is a reason his OG band isn’t there anymore

 

Love all the drama. I assume he'll start changing out these hired guns once he tires of them. I will check them out on Warped, but definitely not paying to see them directly.

 

New lineup incoming

 

two of the guys left Varials for this, so it would suck for them.

 

its a bummer that people are supporting this guy still

 

craig owens has no shame

 

I wanna hear more about what you witnessed.

 

All I know is Craig consistently texted my underage friend after meeting her at a show back in the day. He is not even careful about being shitty.
