Unpopular opinion: there's something a bit stale about the Coachella/Power Trip site. Apart from the pretty mountains in the background, I don't get a great vibe from the place, and the drink prices are criminal. Maybe that's just me. Great video as always.
Nothing stale about it during Coachella time. Power Trip was super lackluster and as they said basically a money grab but mostly not as well produced or thought out as Coachella. Also keep in mind it’s year one if they are planning on making it an annual thing
Even if your festival experience wasn't the best (not even close), this video was an immensely entertaining experience for me as a viewer. Once again. There's a reason why this is simply the best channel on TH-cam. As for the Devil's Horns contest, Varley is my winner. Classic execution. Looks so confident, like a seasoned (maybe 60-something) rock star. Rested, yet still 100% purposeful. Rob a close second, delivering true metal intensity and intention - pinky maybe a bit too close to the adjacent finger, though. Mary had the most "evil-looking" delivery, I'm guessing she put some extra tension into it.
First of all I'm old school 53 year old dude, I just found you guys, and I'm living vicariously through you guys, I'm having such a good time having a few drinks watching your videos, I love it... thank you from the states👍👍💯💯
As a 26 year old, who's seen AC/DC 3 times live, to watch you guys (who have never seen them) enjoy that as much as you did, warms my heart. And yes, I have the same opinion as Mary 50:58
AC/DC always absolutely kill I’m from UK hoping they tour again last time I saw them was black ice tour I saw them at download many years back that was the best gig I’ve ever been to
@@MiataManDanI saw them at download 2010, they absolutely stole the weekend with that performance didn't they especially with the giant train, huge blow up of Rosie and the giant bell that Brian jumped on. Best show of a lifetime
@@MiataManDan they're amazing, I feel privileged to have seen them before malcolm passed away but his replacement has really stepped up and the band is still amazing. They really do commandeer the show incredibly well!
I'm a huge Maiden fan. And yeah the current set starts with quite a few new songs from the newest album but finishes strong. But yeah if it were there own show it'd be somewhere like $40 for a GA lawn ticket. Which you're definitely getting your money's worth because Maiden always are great and bring an awesome stage production. Being a festival they should really be playing all the hits.
Love your content! About the British titans you got to see, and as a big Maiden fan, I don’t think any Maiden fan would argue about what you said on praising Judas Priest. To me both are right up there. About, Priest’s sound… come on, thou shall not complain about their decibels and Halford’s pitch. That’s house specialty! About Maiden set list, while a few found it boring, I believe is a GEM of a set list. We all thought we were going to die without ever listening Alexander live. They gave us that, and caught somewhere in time and stranger in a strange land and prisoner and so many more this tour. We are blessed!!
Great vid, highly entertaining. I'm a 52 year old American living the last 25 years in Germany and have been to my share of concerts and festivals(starting with Maiden in '87) and would loved to have attended Power Trip. However, what shocks me about US festivals compared to European(or at least German) ones is the insane price gouging that goes on. 70 bucks for a couple drinks? Almost 30 for a burger? Ferris Wheel 12? I live on the border to Switzerland and even there you can get a beer for 7 bucks and it's one of the most expensive countries in the world. You literally need 1200/ person for a 3 day event in the States and you only get the cheap seats! I see comments like "if you don't like the price, don't go", etc but back in the 80's/90's EVERYBODY could afford to attend a festival and not have to sell their gold fillings after. Even in Europe today (example Rock am Ring in Germany) tickts run 400 Euro these days, but you can get up front if you go early enough or sit where you want if you buy seating. Anyway, just my old man rant. Loved the vid, gave me a great peek into what the fest was about, so cheers to all of you.
I'm from Belgium and I'm also stunned by this, i mean i can survive 1 day on a festival site with about 100 euro for food and drinks here and then i basically have a drink in my hand the entire time
@@axelvnk Yeah, it gets me everytime I see that someone at a concert in the States pays 15 bucks for a CAN of some shitty beer like Bud. That goes above and beyond a price mark up for profit.
I live in Switzerland and thought prices can't shock me anymore, but I can not believe 40 dollars for a drink at the festival, mind-blowing! Even a fancy cocktail at the bar of a five start hotel here doesn't cost 40 dollars. It gotta be made with exclusive alcohol for example to cost that much. Can't imagine paying 40 for some shit in a plastic glass in an ugly ass sport bar. These prices are shameless to say the least!
Hello, that's true about the 80's, my first festival was MOR in Donington (now called Download), in the UK, I had an amazing day, and paid no more than £30, including the return bus from Swansea to Donington, it was epic. I stopped going to festivals, UK or Europe after 1999, as their far too expensive. Ive watched many since then, but to this day the best Metal / Thrash mini festival was the FIRST Clash of The Titans in Birmingham, the atmosphere was amazing, no violence or bad vibes, just hundreds of Moshers. Bring back the 80's & 90's.
Just watched throughout. I get the Maiden criticism, but their catalogue is so deep. As a fan, this set has been incredible and I'm glad to hear that you were at least impressed by their ability.
These guys are clearly not Maiden fans. Maiden was on their Future Past tour at the time, specifically focused on overlooked songs, mainly from the Somewhere In Time album, as voted on by fans. I don't know how hard it is for them to switch things up on the fly, but they probably should have played a broader best of Maiden setlist for this festival. But from the snippets they showed here, the band sounded great!
This is some great shit everyone. I was there and had a blast. 🎉 How you pulled off documenting the entire Trip while partying like rocker’s is a noble feat indeed 👊 I’ve been waiting 42 years to see AC/DC again and it was SO FUCKIN worth it🙌 I’d pay a lot to see them again 😈⚡️🎸🔔
Got to agree, AC/DC is still the best band I’ve ever seen live in 25 years of going to see wish list bands. There have been more meaningful gigs and probably gigs like Foo Fighters where I’ve had to wait for years to finally get to see them and it’s been epic. But AC/DC are the daddy’s, just something about them that you can only appreciate that next level live energy and it just makes you feel high for days after. Proper proper. Glad you guys ticked them off as well, do wonder if we will ever get chance to see them in the UK again but if they do sneak one last set in, see you there….
I first saw them at Donington . It was for those about to rock tour. Saw them about 5 yrs ago at Wembley too. Brian made a guest appearance at Reading with Muse. He stole the show. Best live band ever . And I’ve seen so many bands to choose from .
Absolutely adore you guys ,me and my daughter have watched every video,we never miss one,we are always waiting for you to upload the next video,you so much remind me of my festival days years ago,keep them video's coming ,we ❤ you xx
TPD @ Power Trip?!!!! What a treat! I wanted to go so bad, but I could not financially justify it. Seeing the boys & Mary go was the next best thing. I already assumed what you guys thought of PT when I saw the thumbnail. I feel a little better about not being able to go after seeing your experience. Anyhoo, please keep the great content flowing!
Rob your edits are just amazing! So happy to see you lads back! As an American I hope this broke you out of your California/Los Vegas spell. Come visit some of our other festivals where the vibes are so much better and we know better than to host a festival in the desert!
I enjoy every video, always, as it makes me feel I am there, too! This time I felt like I was in a corporate festival, too. It's also the time for you all to take a rest, as so many festivals can take a toll on your health, and focus on planning and financing the next year. Catch a breath, reinforce yourselves, and prepare for an epic 2024. I am also going to pretty much the same festivals as yours, but not as many, and even a small amount of these feels like an insane effort, I cannot imagine how you do it, but I guess it's the passion, just take care of yourselves!
I was also at Power Trip. My friend and I had a slightly different experience because we stayed in a hotel away from the festival grounds that had a pool and stuff, but this is a spot-on assessment of the festival experience. The music aspect of the show was amazing. I still can't believe how good Judas Priest was. But it was so hot that and there was so little to do during the day that by the time the music started everyone was absolutely exhausted. Guns N Roses played WAY too long. Around 11:30 you could FEEL the energy leave the crowd and they played for almost two more hours after that. Day One was so exhausting that we never really recovered for the other two days. For nights two and three my friend and I ended up buying lounge chairs and sitting at the back of the field just relaxing because we did not have the energy to stand. Everything was insanely expensive and the lines for everything were long. The lines for the merch tent were unlike anything I've ever seen. We bought mech on night one and it took an hour and it was like that no matter when you showed up. Even at the end of the weekend after Metallica left the stage there was still an hour-long line at the merch tent. Insanity. That said, it was a once-in-a-lifetime lineup and experience! I do hope they do another Power Trip and work out some of the kinks. And now that I know what to expect I'll make my own adjustments and I'm sure it'll be a much better experience.
Hearing Axel be respectful of his audience vs. Use Your Illusion tour in the 90s is night and day. If you saw that tour, you know😂 Hats off for them doing a long set, esp at a festival! Giving the fans what they want. Your channel are my goalz in my twenties. Keep it up!
Lol Guns can't win! They caught shit for their f@cked sets in the past when Axel would act up and just quit most nights. Now he's acting like a professional, and they go out and crush a 3 hour set, and still they complain!
Whenever they do festivals at the polo grounds that aren’t Coachella they don’t ever fill out the space as much as Coachella. There’s no art installation and the vibes are always just like “ooh” . I think if they bring back powertrip they need to add more bands to make the price worth it and go all out. As a local love seeing you guys come out to the desert again 🫶🏼
American here, haven't been to s festival since Ozzfest stopped coming to Texas. Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse into Power Trip. And a big RESPECT to you all for picking up the trash in your area. That says a lot about your character and what kind of people you are. As for the fkn partying you all did, shit I felt drunk just watching. WELL DONE MATES.... Your newest fan, Subbed.
I'm here in Las Vegas NV, love watching you guys which is odd because I've never been to a festival and only been to like 3 concerts.. Arcade fire being one of them. But love watching vicariously through TPD TV. Top tier content. Love you guys!
Mad respect to gnr I’m not that big a fan of gnr but the fact the put that much effort into their performance. 3 HOURS!!! That’s absolutely wild especially at their age
Thank You For the experience :) Super excited that You got to see all the venues and let Your fans Know what to expect for future festivals, And Mary Rocks :)
Thank you guys for the video; you are all personally unique & great. I attended the event & tent-camped on site (I'm U.S. American) Sentimentally, you pretty much nailed everything. The number of international metal fans in attendance and tent-camping on site was astounding & very kindred. AC\DC absolutely blew everyone else away. The economic hardship on your average concert-goer today was in full effect and reflected in the attendance numbers and consumption prices there. As a 57 year-old, who has pretty much any act I want to see, this is my last big venue concert I will ever see. Small clubs & casino event locations will be it for me going forward. Keep up the good work & KEEP ON ROCKIN! ( I subscribed to your channel for infotainment purposes!) \m/
The fun you guys had at that shit festival is really a testament to the friendship that you all share. Bonds like that are special and hard to find, don't ever let any bullshit come between you all! Thanks for bringing us viewers along for the ride. A truly entertaining video
I was heading into work in Leeds on 3rd, and I walked past you guys (I didn't stop ya, that would have been silly) and wondered where the fluff you could have been off to while I was trudging into my boring office job. I just knew it meant a new vid was out and that saw me through last week 🎉
I saw AC DC on their first UK tour about 40 years ago. They totally rocked then. Can I make a request? Please invite Mary to every seriously hot festival in the future. She rocks.
Great video. We did it differently - stayed in a hotel and got the shuttle bus in each day about 4pm after hiking in Joshua National Park or relaxing by the pool. It was a completely different experience to you and we really, really enjoyed it, especially ACDC.
You called Iron Maiden boring that you guys got to experience Caught Somewhere In Time and Alexander The Great do you know how lucky you guys are that you were able to hear the song live.
YOU ARE so lucky!!! we asking IRON MAIDEN to play Alexander live in his birth place from them like an eternity here in Greece and guess what?! they arent coming to Greece on this tour when they decided at last play it live after 1986 they came even last year... anyway UP TH IRONS
Facepalmed hard after hearing those comments, but yeah, it is a festival and not everyone there was an Iron Maiden fan so makes sense they only want to hear the same old songs.
Really enjoyed the video gang! As someone who considers Maiden to be their favourite band, it's a shame it wasn't for you this time round but I get it. Their current touring cycle is absolutely one for the diehards - some songs they haven't played since before I was born ('91), and a song like Alexander The Great they'd never played live before that fans have been waiting to hear at a show for nearly 40 years - and they are one of those bands don't switch up the setlist. I think you would have liked the previous tour (Legacy of the Beast) more as it had more of the Hits, just bad luck that Power Trip booked them on this cycle. Can't say I'm surprised that festival vets like you lot found it a meh experience. It absolutely has the vibe of being a cash grab for the older crowd who would never go see smaller bands at your local pub or even academy venue, but their one gig a year would be a big one like Metallica or GNR. 6 of those size bands in one place over 3 days is heaven for them, but absolutely not my bag. Give me 20-30 bands I love over 3 days at Trees or Bloodstock every time!
@@TPD Nope, you could have known Maiden would play these songs because that's what they announced a year ago...... a tour with 5 songs from Somewhere in Time and 5 songs from the latest album. I really can't understand you people, always wanna to hear number of the beast, two minutes.... all those songs Maiden have been playing over and over again.
Do your research! Maiden said what tracks were playing. And Maiden sounded way better anyway. At least the guys we were with thought and they were GnR rockers. GNR set so long cos Axl needed big breaks. Your entitled to your opinion of course. But the vibe I got Maiden were and are better.
I hate warm weather, I live in the Netherlands where it gets maximum 33 degrees Celsius and then im just in my house, I would have never be able to survive that weather combined with a festival. Great video though!
The industry to upkeep doesn't get shit from these events... Livenation, Ticketmaster & organizers like Goldenvoice don't care about the festival experience of the customers... Support your local festivals and volunteer to really upkeep the industry!!
i do get this but when you’re performing at a festival you can’t really expect everyone there to be a mega fan who knows every one of your songs, when playing a festival you owe it to the audience to play your hits in my opinion
@@mais02917 " when playing a festival you owe it to the audience to play your hits in my opinion" No, they're not. They never did before nor would they do it now or ever.
I know some maiden songs but definitely not what they played. Ppl in my sections were shocked by the playlist. I expected the classics. Maiden was a disappointment
I saw ACDC at download 2010, best band I'll ever see live in my lifetime. Would love to see them again and you guys are so lucky to have seen them, I'm glad you all had that chance too! Guns N Roses are still on my bucket list to go see lol, shame rest of the festival was a dud, that much for two tiny cups of wine is insane!
EastPak is the best 😁🤘 My trusty backpack that I have for 24 years and counting and its still holding like a champ. And i use that thing to carry more than I should in it.A big shout out for EastPak you rock🤘
i literally never wouldve thought I'd like a vlog channel like this but you guys are so talented at being yourselves. (weird to say lol) keep it up lads, hope to run into you one day to buy you a round!!!!
TPD TV going so no one else ever has to. What a terrible looking festival with absolutely criminal pricing at every level. The ultimate cash grab for a festival that looks as dry as a nuns chuff. Great video as always gang
@@TPD it's hard work but somebody has to do it 😀 beats a 9 to 5 and they can't all be hits. Has to be a turd in amongst the gems I suppose. I just found it odd that they do Coachella for the best part pretty well but didn't replicate that here for a rock audience. A real shame
Never watched y’all before but decided to sit down and watch this video bc I was curious about the festival- great video v funny and entertaining, and FYI the amount of 1975/notes on a conditional form I heard in this video was surprising and also satisfying 🕺💃🖤
AC/DC was the first gig i ever heard when i was 6 years old, kids couldn't get in so my dad took us to listen on the hill behind athletic stadium in wellington New Zealand must have been 1990 or so. USA is ridiculous pricing if you convert to NZD thats almost $100 a drink!!!! FUCK THAT!
Iron maiden did the exact same setup and setlist they did for the run of Canadian shows they did here, Al the european shows and all the summer festival shows. Cheapest tix here were 80CAD
Great video guys! As an American you do NOT need to stress about tips, I as well as my entire family only tip at restaurants. Waiters/Waitresses work off of tips here, but any cashier flipping a screen around is 9 times out of 10 getting a regular wage and doesn't need tips to be supported. Always remember tipping is NOT required too. It's great to tip people for good service, but not for flipping a damn screen around.
A note on Maiden - their last 3 years of touring before 2023 has been the greatest hits. This years tour was not marketed as the greatest hits, it was marketed as a mix of a classic 1986 album and their newest 2021 album (with a few classics thrown in) and the actual fans loved 95% of this setlist. They wouldn't change their tours setlist just for Powertrip, and nor should they.
@@TPD 2022 had Revelations, Blood Brothers, Icarus, Fear, Hallowed, NOTB, Trooper, RTTH, Aces High. 2018/2019 had Aces High, Where Eagles, 2 Minutes, Trooper, Revelations, Wicker Man, Icarus, Fear, NOTB, Hallowed, RTTH 2016/2017 had Trooper, Powerslave, Hallowed, Fear, NOTB, Blood Brothers, Wasted Years + New material 2012/2013/2014 had Moonchild, Madness, Prisoner, 2 Minutes, Revelations, Trooper, NOTB, RTTH, Wasted Years, Seventh Son, Wrathchild, Fear, Aces High, Evil That Men Do, Running Free 2011 had 2 Minutes, Dance of Death, Trooper, Wicker Man, Blood Brothers, Evil That Men Do, Fear, NOTB, Hallowed, Running Free + New material What songs do you want that you haven't got? 😂
@@jordanwescott6849 Probably he wants a setlist with Number of the beast, Run to the hills, Fear of the dark, the trooper, two minutes and those repeating for 90 minutes.
I have to admit I wish I'd caught the last tour in 2022. I did see 2016 and 1987. I needed to hear Icarus and Run to the hills, but would loved Empire of the clouds.
20 years of attending these kind of festivals and I am stone deaf now. Ya'll should be wearing earplugs attending all these shows to not end up like me when you are 40. Its really not a joke as I learned the hard way.
It's too late for this year probably, but you NEED to come to Hulaween, I'll never stop! It's a real American festival with a very wide range of a lineup and truly the best experience, and Florida weather in late October is 👌
I had a blast at Powertrip! Felt is was well worth my $$$. Stayed at an Air BNB with 4 other friends. Great guys trip with amazing music. Epic weekend!
You are not metalheads and mostly clueless about metal bands music but I enjoyed that video and I wish you all the best. Love each other and stay kind. Yeah, that festival looked like dead shit vibe. Cheers!
Coldplay and Robbie Williams being on the bucket list was a bit of a shock to see. And of those 6 bands I really wasn't expecting AC/DC to be everyone's favourite. Mary saying all Iron Maiden songs sound the same (not entirely inaccurate) but not levelling the same accusation at AC/DC is wild.
Used to go to Leeds, Knebworth, Donington , Reading and many other Festivals ! Travel south from Glasgow ! Drove to Cardiff earlier this year for the Cult, Mission the Alarm and another act who I missed because I was in the pub, gig price £45
I had a fucken' blast. Drove in from Vegas. Ride our bikes to the venue. Met people from all over the world. We'll organized. By the 2nd day you could sneak in anything. Bands where the icing on the cake. Next year have MAIDEN as the main headliner. They'll be in Japan in Sept of 24'!!!!!!!!
this is a great video - super fun. one thing to remember guys is that American metal concerts and festivals are not like they are in Europe. no comparison. dull as anything by comparison. i don't agree with your analysis of some of the bands though, but its fun to hear a younger perspective. but thats just a personal feeling.
I went to powertrip my friends and daughter traveled from Illinois . It was frigging hot but a good lineup. Loved Iron Maiden didn't care very much for Guns and roses .Loved Slash he is great. AXLE changed clothes a dozen times,(diva) plus they were 45 minutes late starting normal Axle. He couldn't hit the high notes anymore. I'm 60 so I'm old as he'll lol.Otherwise pretty good 3 days. Merchandise line 2 hours long and we pre-ordered our merch. Anyway love you guys channel horns up!
You guys aren't too far from the hottest place on Earth in Death Valley. Love these videos. I live in Southern California but you couldn't have paid me to go out there to see these bands in that weather. You all are absolute monsters for doing this.
American here 🤘🏽 We only tip when the person providing the service doesn’t make minimum wage or does a good job at their job AND EVEN THEN at max you’re getting five bucks in this economy 😅 don’t feel bad for not tipping at festivals here! love the vids guys! No $72 wine cups all 2024

$72 for two tiny plastic cups of wine should be illegal
Literally day light robbery 😂 probably some shit £6.50 bottle aswell
i was nauseous

Welcome to the USA
Fuck That festival
Unpopular opinion: there's something a bit stale about the Coachella/Power Trip site. Apart from the pretty mountains in the background, I don't get a great vibe from the place, and the drink prices are criminal. Maybe that's just me. Great video as always.
Not unpopular at all its always been dead. Just some bouji festival where everything is extortionate and the vibe isnt there 🥱

There have been more meaningful gigs and probably gigs like Foo Fighters where I’ve had to wait for years to finally get to see them and it’s been epic. But AC/DC are the daddy’s, just something about them that you can only appreciate that next level live energy and it just makes you feel high for days after. Proper proper. Glad you guys ticked them off as well, do wonder if we will ever get chance to see them in the UK again but if they do sneak one last set in, see you there….
Agreed AC/DC are incredible live probably the best live band I’ve ever seen they are a proper rock band
so so lucky to have seen them!
I first saw them at Donington . It was for those about to rock tour. Saw them about 5 yrs ago at Wembley too. Brian made a guest appearance at Reading with Muse. He stole the show. Best live band ever . And I’ve seen so many bands to choose from .
Absolutely adore you guys ,me and my daughter have watched every video,we never miss one,we are always waiting for you to upload the next video,you so much remind me of my festival days years ago,keep them video's coming ,we ❤ you xx
Hi I'm the daughter
The highlight for me was the escaping palm tree the trees know best 😂😂😂
Totally agree what you said about Priest being under appreciated compared to Maiden, Rob Halford vocals are insane even still at his Age.
I never got that. I think any maiden fan would have the utmost respect for priest. And as a maiden fan I admit both are equally UP there
I really liked the Four In A Bed bit, that concept really works well.
i think we need to fine tune it but generally i like it
TPD @ Power Trip?!!!! What a treat! I wanted to go so bad, but I could not financially justify it. Seeing the boys & Mary go was the next best thing. I already assumed what you guys thought of PT when I saw the thumbnail. I feel a little better about not being able to go after seeing your experience. Anyhoo, please keep the great content flowing!
you only missed a great acdc, the rest was meh!
Let's Go! Glad to see you all back again ❤
Rob your edits are just amazing! So happy to see you lads back! As an American I hope this broke you out of your California/Los Vegas spell. Come visit some of our other festivals where the vibes are so much better and we know better than to host a festival in the desert!
Yeah man you should try Blue Ridge Rock Festival it was so good this year.
thanks so much! really appreciate it xx
I enjoy every video, always, as it makes me feel I am there, too! This time I felt like I was in a corporate festival, too. It's also the time for you all to take a rest, as so many festivals can take a toll on your health, and focus on planning and financing the next year. Catch a breath, reinforce yourselves, and prepare for an epic 2024. I am also going to pretty much the same festivals as yours, but not as many, and even a small amount of these feels like an insane effort, I cannot imagine how you do it, but I guess it's the passion, just take care of yourselves!
we've been resting for a month! thanks for the comment and the love xx
Its time for them to go Australia for the concert circuit now!!
Seen AC/DC 10 times, they always deliver to the best of their ability. What a band!
lucky man!!
Four in a bed was the greatest daytime tv show ever made. Rob seems like the type to look for cobwebs in the room.
never watched it!
I was also at Power Trip. My friend and I had a slightly different experience because we stayed in a hotel away from the festival grounds that had a pool and stuff, but this is a spot-on assessment of the festival experience. The music aspect of the show was amazing. I still can't believe how good Judas Priest was. But it was so hot that and there was so little to do during the day that by the time the music started everyone was absolutely exhausted. Guns N Roses played WAY too long. Around 11:30 you could FEEL the energy leave the crowd and they played for almost two more hours after that. Day One was so exhausting that we never really recovered for the other two days. For nights two and three my friend and I ended up buying lounge chairs and sitting at the back of the field just relaxing because we did not have the energy to stand.
Everything was insanely expensive and the lines for everything were long. The lines for the merch tent were unlike anything I've ever seen. We bought mech on night one and it took an hour and it was like that no matter when you showed up. Even at the end of the weekend after Metallica left the stage there was still an hour-long line at the merch tent. Insanity.
That said, it was a once-in-a-lifetime lineup and experience! I do hope they do another Power Trip and work out some of the kinks. And now that I know what to expect I'll make my own adjustments and I'm sure it'll be a much better experience.
I got the tickets from winning a raffle and I 100% agree with you all! I thought it was just me who felt it was soulless. Y’all are troopers!🤘🏼
Hearing Axel be respectful of his audience vs. Use Your Illusion tour in the 90s is night and day. If you saw that tour, you know😂 Hats off for them doing a long set, esp at a festival! Giving the fans what they want.
Your channel are my goalz in my twenties. Keep it up!
what happened in Use Your Illusion tour in the 90?
Lol Guns can't win! They caught shit for their f@cked sets in the past when Axel would act up and just quit most nights. Now he's acting like a professional, and they go out and crush a 3 hour set, and still they complain!
Whenever they do festivals at the polo grounds that aren’t Coachella they don’t ever fill out the space as much as Coachella. There’s no art installation and the vibes are always just like “ooh” . I think if they bring back powertrip they need to add more bands to make the price worth it and go all out. As a local love seeing you guys come out to the desert again 🫶🏼
American here, haven't been to s festival since Ozzfest stopped coming to Texas. Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse into Power Trip. And a big RESPECT to you all for picking up the trash in your area. That says a lot about your character and what kind of people you are. As for the fkn partying you all did, shit I felt drunk just watching. WELL DONE MATES....
Your newest fan, Subbed.
Makes my heart happy to hear that you enjoyed Guns N’ Roses! My absolute favorite band of all time. Thanks for the content!
I'm here in Las Vegas NV, love watching you guys which is odd because I've never been to a festival and only been to like 3 concerts.. Arcade fire being one of them. But love watching vicariously through TPD TV. Top tier content. Love you guys!
Mad respect to gnr I’m not that big a fan of gnr but the fact the put that much effort into their performance. 3 HOURS!!! That’s absolutely wild especially at their age
Axle and slash in that close of confined space and neither had an accident… wow
Thank You For the experience :) Super excited that You got to see all the venues and let Your fans Know what to expect for future festivals, And Mary Rocks :)
😢I’m so happy!! Just what we all needed 💙👏🏻
Thank you guys for the video; you are all personally unique & great. I attended the event & tent-camped on site (I'm U.S. American) Sentimentally, you pretty much nailed everything. The number of international metal fans in attendance and tent-camping on site was astounding & very kindred. AC\DC absolutely blew everyone else away. The economic hardship on your average concert-goer today was in full effect and reflected in the attendance numbers and consumption prices there. As a 57 year-old, who has pretty much any act I want to see, this is my last big venue concert I will ever see. Small clubs & casino event locations will be it for me going forward. Keep up the good work & KEEP ON ROCKIN! ( I subscribed to your channel for infotainment purposes!) \m/
The fun you guys had at that shit festival is really a testament to the friendship that you all share. Bonds like that are special and hard to find, don't ever let any bullshit come between you all!
Thanks for bringing us viewers along for the ride. A truly entertaining video
24:38 - The palm tree was the best bit
I was heading into work in Leeds on 3rd, and I walked past you guys (I didn't stop ya, that would have been silly) and wondered where the fluff you could have been off to while I was trudging into my boring office job. I just knew it meant a new vid was out and that saw me through last week 🎉
Very cool story. Thanks for sharing. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
wheeeey should have said hi!
Yesss so glad you went as I was so curious to see what this festival was like. Great vid lads. Heavy metal babaaay 🤘🤘
I saw AC DC on their first UK tour about 40 years ago. They totally rocked then. Can I make a request? Please invite Mary to every seriously hot festival in the future. She rocks.
At this point just look at her OF leaks 😂
Great video. We did it differently - stayed in a hotel and got the shuttle bus in each day about 4pm after hiking in Joshua National Park or relaxing by the pool. It was a completely different experience to you and we really, really enjoyed it, especially ACDC.
You called Iron Maiden boring that you guys got to experience Caught Somewhere In Time and Alexander The Great do you know how lucky you guys are that you were able to hear the song live.
Bashing my 2 favorite bands priest and maiden was an insult 😆
@@elimarsilvanikock7818 they are clueless. Just casual "play classics only" folks
YOU ARE so lucky!!! we asking IRON MAIDEN to play Alexander live in his birth place from them like an eternity here in Greece and guess what?! they arent coming to Greece on this tour when they decided at last play it live after 1986 they came even last year... anyway UP TH IRONS
Facepalmed hard after hearing those comments, but yeah, it is a festival and not everyone there was an Iron Maiden fan so makes sense they only want to hear the same old songs.
Lucky by diehard IM fan standards maybe, but festival crowds should expect festival setlists. Maiden fucked up, simple as.
The Tool reviews warmed my heart. Thought you'd utterly hate it. Yes Jake Varley!
That bit where youre listing what you bought in target is like a budget version of the old gadget show competition prize rundown.
hahahah imagine winning that
Danny's horns are the best. The hand tattoo's make it!
Love that 'Highway Star - Deep Purple' seems to be playing at every 2nd moment in this vid. Would drive me insane and I don't mind the track
fantastic song
Missed you guys sooo much so thank you for this wonderful surprise! Great summary from Rob. Cheers guys!
thanks mate!!
Nice meeting you… about 8 times. Pretty amazing at a 80.000 people festival. Greets Rob (Amsterdam)
Whoooo happu to see you back missed you guys 🎉🙌🏻
Really enjoyed the video gang! As someone who considers Maiden to be their favourite band, it's a shame it wasn't for you this time round but I get it. Their current touring cycle is absolutely one for the diehards - some songs they haven't played since before I was born ('91), and a song like Alexander The Great they'd never played live before that fans have been waiting to hear at a show for nearly 40 years - and they are one of those bands don't switch up the setlist. I think you would have liked the previous tour (Legacy of the Beast) more as it had more of the Hits, just bad luck that Power Trip booked them on this cycle.
Can't say I'm surprised that festival vets like you lot found it a meh experience. It absolutely has the vibe of being a cash grab for the older crowd who would never go see smaller bands at your local pub or even academy venue, but their one gig a year would be a big one like Metallica or GNR. 6 of those size bands in one place over 3 days is heaven for them, but absolutely not my bag. Give me 20-30 bands I love over 3 days at Trees or Bloodstock every time!
that's what we paid for
@@TPD Nope, you could have known Maiden would play these songs because that's what they announced a year ago...... a tour with 5 songs from Somewhere in Time and 5 songs from the latest album. I really can't understand you people, always wanna to hear number of the beast, two minutes.... all those songs Maiden have been playing over and over again.
Do your research! Maiden said what tracks were playing. And Maiden sounded way better anyway. At least the guys we were with thought and they were GnR rockers. GNR set so long cos Axl needed big breaks. Your entitled to your opinion of course. But the vibe I got Maiden were and are better.
Love this video, enjoyed the part where Dan talks about being in a group where 2 are in internet cafe and 2 talking about macOS :D Rock'n'roll baby
I hate warm weather, I live in the Netherlands where it gets maximum 33 degrees Celsius and then im just in my house, I would have never be able to survive that weather combined with a festival. Great video though!
it was KILLER believe me!
The industry to upkeep doesn't get shit from these events...
Livenation, Ticketmaster & organizers like Goldenvoice don't care about the festival experience of the customers...
Support your local festivals and volunteer to really upkeep the industry!!
Would love to see more vlogs of the travel and departure from these trips, love the content so much, keep it coming!
happy you were honest about the experience! still loved the vid
always honest!! gotta be
I really do love Maiden’s current show its a homage to the fans and not about pleasing everyone
i do get this but when you’re performing at a festival you can’t really expect everyone there to be a mega fan who knows every one of your songs, when playing a festival you owe it to the audience to play your hits in my opinion
@@mais02917 " when playing a festival you owe it to the audience to play your hits in my opinion"
No, they're not. They never did before nor would they do it now or ever.
I know some maiden songs but definitely not what they played. Ppl in my sections were shocked by the playlist. I expected the classics. Maiden was a disappointment
@@ddsgabo They played 10 classics and 5 new songs. Don't see the problem here.
Just discovered you guys...can't wait to attend more festivals with you.
48:47 - appreciate that edit 10/10
I saw ACDC at download 2010, best band I'll ever see live in my lifetime. Would love to see them again and you guys are so lucky to have seen them, I'm glad you all had that chance too! Guns N Roses are still on my bucket list to go see lol, shame rest of the festival was a dud, that much for two tiny cups of wine is insane!
so jealous. would have loved to have been at that show but that was one year before we started going to download :(
EastPak is the best 😁🤘 My trusty backpack that I have for 24 years and counting and its still holding like a champ. And i use that thing to carry more than I should in it.A big shout out for EastPak you rock🤘
These prices are insane!! It makes Coachella look reasonable. Great vid as always, guys!
Get Ready, because expect these prices to come to Coachella.
I would be broke for trip like that, specially living here in the Caribbean
i literally never wouldve thought I'd like a vlog channel like this but you guys are so talented at being yourselves. (weird to say lol) keep it up lads, hope to run into you one day to buy you a round!!!!
More of the 4 in the bed style ratings. That was a great idea!
working on it!!
Your sound quality was the best on you tube that i have heard,could clearly hear the bass drum thru your mic mix,very good churr from rotorua ,nz.
will take that!!
TPD TV going so no one else ever has to. What a terrible looking festival with absolutely criminal pricing at every level. The ultimate cash grab for a festival that looks as dry as a nuns chuff. Great video as always gang
we're the canary down the mine!
@@TPD it's hard work but somebody has to do it 😀 beats a 9 to 5 and they can't all be hits. Has to be a turd in amongst the gems I suppose. I just found it odd that they do Coachella for the best part pretty well but didn't replicate that here for a rock audience. A real shame
Never watched y’all before but decided to sit down and watch this video bc I was curious about the festival- great video v funny and entertaining, and FYI the amount of 1975/notes on a conditional form I heard in this video was surprising and also satisfying 🕺💃🖤
AC/DC was the first gig i ever heard when i was 6 years old, kids couldn't get in so my dad took us to listen on the hill behind athletic stadium in wellington New Zealand must have been 1990 or so.
USA is ridiculous pricing if you convert to NZD thats almost $100 a drink!!!! FUCK THAT!
Good parenting
Iron maiden did the exact same setup and setlist they did for the run of Canadian shows they did here, Al the european shows and all the summer festival shows. Cheapest tix here were 80CAD
43:16 robs gagging is hilarious
Great video guys! As an American you do NOT need to stress about tips, I as well as my entire family only tip at restaurants. Waiters/Waitresses work off of tips here, but any cashier flipping a screen around is 9 times out of 10 getting a regular wage and doesn't need tips to be supported. Always remember tipping is NOT required too. It's great to tip people for good service, but not for flipping a damn screen around.
Rob edits these vids faster than James Hetfield can down pick
great festival and lineup... jealous!!! congrats yall are awesome!
A note on Maiden - their last 3 years of touring before 2023 has been the greatest hits.
This years tour was not marketed as the greatest hits, it was marketed as a mix of a classic 1986 album and their newest 2021 album (with a few classics thrown in) and the actual fans loved 95% of this setlist. They wouldn't change their tours setlist just for Powertrip, and nor should they.
ive seen them 6 times and it's never had a great setlist
@@TPD 2022 had Revelations, Blood Brothers, Icarus, Fear, Hallowed, NOTB, Trooper, RTTH, Aces High.
2018/2019 had Aces High, Where Eagles, 2 Minutes, Trooper, Revelations, Wicker Man, Icarus, Fear, NOTB, Hallowed, RTTH
2016/2017 had Trooper, Powerslave, Hallowed, Fear, NOTB, Blood Brothers, Wasted Years + New material
2012/2013/2014 had Moonchild, Madness, Prisoner, 2 Minutes, Revelations, Trooper, NOTB, RTTH, Wasted Years, Seventh Son, Wrathchild, Fear, Aces High, Evil That Men Do, Running Free
2011 had 2 Minutes, Dance of Death, Trooper, Wicker Man, Blood Brothers, Evil That Men Do, Fear, NOTB, Hallowed, Running Free + New material
What songs do you want that you haven't got? 😂
@@jordanwescott6849 Probably he wants a setlist with Number of the beast, Run to the hills, Fear of the dark, the trooper, two minutes and those repeating for 90 minutes.
@@ettiothey love the overplayed, predictable songs, Welcome To The Jungle, November Rain, fucking yawn
I have to admit I wish I'd caught the last tour in 2022. I did see 2016 and 1987. I needed to hear Icarus and Run to the hills, but would loved Empire of the clouds.
GREAT VIDEO !
AWESOME COVERAGE OF ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF THAT FESTIVAL...
yessss over an hour video. lets go!
20 years of attending these kind of festivals and I am stone deaf now. Ya'll should be wearing earplugs attending all these shows to not end up like me when you are 40. Its really not a joke as I learned the hard way.
It's too late for this year probably, but you NEED to come to Hulaween, I'll never stop! It's a real American festival with a very wide range of a lineup and truly the best experience, and Florida weather in late October is 👌
Hi k😢😢😢🎉
🎉🎉😮Lulu o😮proud 😮and 😮all my fans
I had a blast at Powertrip! Felt is was well worth my $$$. Stayed at an Air BNB with 4 other friends. Great guys trip with amazing music. Epic weekend!
You are not metalheads and mostly clueless about metal bands music but I enjoyed that video and I wish you all the best. Love each other and stay kind. Yeah, that festival looked like dead shit vibe. Cheers!
Coldplay and Robbie Williams being on the bucket list was a bit of a shock to see. And of those 6 bands I really wasn't expecting AC/DC to be everyone's favourite. Mary saying all Iron Maiden songs sound the same (not entirely inaccurate) but not levelling the same accusation at AC/DC is wild.
I would be calling my bank and claiming fraud for every one of those purchases, including the ticket 😂
Used to go to Leeds, Knebworth, Donington , Reading and many other Festivals !
Travel south from Glasgow !
Drove to Cardiff earlier this year for the Cult, Mission the Alarm and another act who I missed because I was in the pub, gig price £45
Hope you do 'When we were young' on the next week. 🤘😎🤘
I had a fucken' blast. Drove in from Vegas. Ride our bikes to the venue. Met people from all over the world. We'll organized. By the 2nd day you could sneak in anything. Bands where the icing on the cake. Next year have MAIDEN as the main headliner. They'll be in Japan in Sept of 24'!!!!!!!!
Those jackets are sick.
this is a great video - super fun. one thing to remember guys is that American metal concerts and festivals are not like they are in Europe. no comparison. dull as anything by comparison. i don't agree with your analysis of some of the bands though, but its fun to hear a younger perspective. but thats just a personal feeling.
It’s crazy how expensive things are in the land of the Yanka
There's a lot cheaper than in southern California or Florida which is where most English people go. Plus they're in a controlled environment.
it's ridiculous eh
seen all these bands many times since 1981 and maiden are still the best
That’s exactly the kind of Tool ratings I expected from The 1975 fans 😂
we gave them... a positive... rating?
brilliant video guys that festival looked proper class keep the videos coming really enjoying watching them cheers
Mary has the best horns.
I went to powertrip my friends and daughter traveled from Illinois . It was frigging hot but a good lineup. Loved Iron Maiden didn't care very much for Guns and roses .Loved Slash he is great. AXLE changed clothes a dozen times,(diva) plus they were 45 minutes late starting normal Axle. He couldn't hit the high notes anymore. I'm 60 so I'm old as he'll lol.Otherwise pretty good 3 days. Merchandise line 2 hours long and we pre-ordered our merch. Anyway love you guys channel horns up!
Anyone charging 14$ for a bag of ice belongs in the gulags! 😠
You guys aren't too far from the hottest place on Earth in Death Valley. Love these videos. I live in Southern California but you couldn't have paid me to go out there to see these bands in that weather. You all are absolute monsters for doing this.
Fabulous video (as always)
Question : What's the story with the matching necklesses?
we got gifted them by PARABELLUM, a jeweller from london
American here 🤘🏽 We only tip when the person providing the service doesn’t make minimum wage or does a good job at their job AND EVEN THEN at max you’re getting five bucks in this economy 😅 don’t feel bad for not tipping at festivals here! love the vids guys! No $72 wine cups all 2024
So happy to see you lads back in my sub box
happy to be back!!
This was fun to watch you guys are very entertaining! It’s cool to see people actually be real and have fun and not try to romanticize everything
Wow them prices....feels like a social experiment on how much you can rip people off.
Tool…”sexy music” 🤣
Mary definitely wins the Horn Off! 🤩🤘🏻
The luggage timer on the sponsor was a brilliant little idea
hahaha thanks mate
