Tomorrow is judgementday!

The 6th of February is judgement day as Ramfest will hopefully announce the replacement act for As I Lay Dying.

As I Lay Dying recently cancelled their Ramfest gig and decided to tour with The Devil Wears Prada in the US and assured South African fans that they will be visiting soon.

I would like to predict who the replacement act would be but honestly it would all be wishful thinking.

If I had a million on stake I might say it is Arch Enemy. They are currently off the road and their first official tour date is only in July so I doubt that they would quit writing new material and head down to South Africa or would they?

Well seeing that Ramfest is 2 months before they actually start their tour makes it possible but highly unlikely.

Like I said wishful thinking. There might be tons of bands that fit similar criteria but we won’t know until we know right?

I am set on being at Ramfest 2013 regardless whether a new act is announced or not.

Who do you predict the replacement is if there is one at all?

Replacement for AILD @ Ramfest 2013?

According to Ramfest fan Tayla Rohlandt a replacement for As I Lay Dying has been found.

“On RAMfest’s twitter account somebody asked if they had found a replacement and RAMfest replied looks like it, so I’m pretty sure we should know soon about the replacement”  Tuesday at 6:05pm

People have been flooding the RAMfest page in the hope that their favorite band nomination would be chosen as a replacement but unfortunately replacing major bands like As I Lay Dying is never easy because who would they choose?

Honestly after listening to As I Lay Dying I came to realize that there is no replacement for this band. There is no other band that sounds the same at all therefore I would be glad with any other band performing.  I would look at the new band in their own right.

35 days and counting till mayhem!

As I Lay Crying…

It’s worth taking a look at the As I Lay Dying Official Facebook page to see all the anger aimed towards them for droping us for RAMfest2013 here is one we like:

“Ah I see, the South African Ramfest tour was cancelled because American tours take preference. Well in that case, consider my preference for listening to your music discontinued.”

Remember bands, bailing on South Africa is not cool.
