Talk Toomey with Joshua Toomey

Louder Than Life Preview and Ro's Pantera Review

·1 hr 11 min·5 clips
Ro describes a perfect Pantera show in San Diego where he was against the barricade for the first time since the 90s.
The episode opens with Joshua Toomey introducing the show and guest Ro Coley. Ro immediately dives into reviewing two Pantera reunion shows he attended. The first at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles was a logistical disaster involving $400 parking, poor venue layout, and obstructed views, leading to a negative experience. In contrast, the second show in San Diego at the Viejas Arena was described as a perfect, celebratory event where Ro felt the true spirit of Pantera's inclusivity and energy. The hosts discuss whether the current lineup featuring Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante is a tribute or could lead to new recordings, with Ro expressing hope they don't record but acknowledging the possibility. The conversation then shifts to a detailed preview of the Louder Than Life 2023 festival in Louisville. They break down each day's lineup: Thursday features Foo Fighters, Weezer, and Rancid; Friday includes Tool, Limp Bizkit, and Godsmack; Saturday is highlighted by Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, and bands like Sleep Token and Whitechapel; Sunday has Green Day, Queens of the Stone Age, and Turnstile. Throughout the preview, they share personal anecdotes and opinions on bands like Code Orange, Kittie, Vended, and Baby Metal. Joshua mentions he will be at the festival and invites listeners to connect. The episode concludes with promotional tags for the podcast.
