I know they fell away after cavalier youth for a few years in terms of album quality and ultimately losing their way with "the scene"...which leads to popularity/ momentum downfall.But honestly they are a very very good live band, I myself have seen them a few times over the years and haven't been disappointed, my only criticism would be that they could have more stage production in their sets instead of just going big on lights etc. Their last two albums Suckapunch and Truth Decay are a real return to form which I think gets overlooked when people see their name branded about. I would not call myself a hardcore fan of theirs but I do think they get an unfair rap at times. If they were to do like a toyc and cavalier youth mixed set since its their anniversary years, maybe some sinners and hold me down hits; essentially a throwback set, then add in some solid stage production I think that would go down very well. I would beg to differ. Seen them a couple of times and wouldn't say they were anything above ok live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yeah YMA6 have been pretty dull last few times I've seen them. I agree the newest album is very good, SUCKAPUNCH was balls though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t just rely on that gimmick forever and do more anniversary shows this year 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Agreed, pretty poor live act. Seen them be good once but outside at festivals they’ve been awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that's where they have become victims of their own success in a way. Purely because of how well the first 4 albums did for turning them into a big name, so whenever there is a chance to have a anniversary show for any of those albums everyone wants it and ymas will probably oblige because they know those first 4 albums were the backbone to making them as big as they were.

KingsMaan Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Tonight Alive 100% confirmed by singer in her Discord group Not full band, the guys don't wanna do it. She's asked other bands if they'll sub including ym@s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Only 3h before the annoucenement... zero leak so far. Really hope we won't have YMAS headliner. I hope Simple Plan will do a longer tour in Europe this Summer and will be back. Always cool to see them at a festival (2019 was really cool)!

Gejonimo Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Guessing they mean sub members and fill in for other members who don't want to do it. Pretty wild if they're booked and don't even have performers guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejonimo Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 She literally has a solo project. Slam Dunk must be paying her quite a lot simply to play under the Tonight Alive! moniker. Not sure it's that big of a draw. Just saw she supported Andrew McMahon in Australia, so my insane logic/hopium thinks Something Corporate will be doing exclusive shows at SD.

She will be playing tonight alive songs. Rest if band is not interested in playing anymore so will probably be the last ever shows for "Tonight Alive".

LazyDavid Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Enjoyed a few songs on their first 2 albums but didn't enjoy the last 2, sorta band I'll see if nothing else is on at the same time for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optix Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I was wondering recently what happened to tonight alive, I fell off them around album 3 as I kind of felt they were veering too pop, not so much punk at that point but I did not realise they have not toured since like 2018.

They played a fest in aus and a security guard has a heart attack in front of them so stopped touring for a little while. Played 2 shows since then and talks that they were gonna come back last year but the band just isn't interested. Jenna has said she is the one who always starts the conversations about it and yeah man, they just don't care anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
