Slated to kick off last year, the tour was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the world slowly but surely began getting back to business as usual, the Bay Area Strikes Back finally kicked off on April 9<sup>th<\/sup> in San Luis Obispo, CA and fans couldn\u2019t have been happier. Hell, even though I wasn\u2019t going to the show here in Atlanta, I was pumped for all of the bands and the fans.<\/p>\n<p>As they have done on past tours, Testament offered a VIP package for this tour. For an upgrade price of $125 (not including a ticket), fans would get the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>VIP Upgrade ($125.00)<\/li>\n<li>Watch Soundcheck<\/li>\n<li>Pre-signed 8 x 10 Band Photo<\/li>\n<li>Testament Guitar Pick Set<\/li>\n<li>T-Shirt of your choice from the merch table (short sleeve only)<\/li>\n<li>Group photo in front of the stage with the band<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Soundcheck typically occurs in the early afternoon on the day of the show. Please be prepared to be at the venue super early. National Acts will email everyone within 24 hours of the show with the specific VIP check-in time and location.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You might be asking just how bands can be doing a Meet and Greet in the times of a global pandemic. If you\u2019re Testament, it\u2019s easy. Stand on the stage as far away from your paying fans as possible, make them use their own shitty camera phones to take the photo, and finally look as if you are dying slowly inside and like you\u2019d rather be eating a bowl of warm dung than being there.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have not been shy about my feelings regarding bands charging their fans to meet them. In this day and time, I do get it, though. Bands that rely on touring for their livelihood have taken a massive hit over the last two years. They have to try and make some money back but c\u2019mon guys. If you\u2019re going to do this, put in even just a LITTLE bit of effort. Smile. Look like you\u2019re appreciative of your fans for spending their hard-earned money to stand in front of you and not even talk to you. I mean, isn\u2019t that the least you guys can do? Instead, this is what fans get:<\/p>\n<p>Vocalist Chuck Billy. Ok, I\u2019ll give it to him. He looks pretty fucking happy, so I\u2019ll give him a pass. Next, guitarist Alex Skolnick looks like he can\u2019t really decide if he\u2019s happy or not. That other guitarist, what\u2019s his name? Oh yeah, Eric Peterson looks like he\u2019s still figuring out how to throw devil horns. Dave Lombardo, who you would think would be stoked as all fuck seems like he\u2019s still bitter. Maybe it was the influx of people wearing Slayer shirts to the Meet &amp; Greets? Who knows.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stoked-in-Saryville-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2016px) 100vw, 2016px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20284 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rEALLY-INTO-RALEIGH-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2016px) 100vw, 2016px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20281 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/OMG-IN-ORLANDO-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2016px) 100vw, 2016px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least, the award for the least engaged member of Testament (or any other band for that matter) goes to bassist Steve Di Giorgio.

It\u2019s been rough, but please, if you are going to do things like this to try and recoup some losses, at least try a little. Be engaging. Smile. Make your fans feel like they\u2019re appreciated. They are showing their appreciation for you and your art, so it\u2019s really not that hard to reciprocate.
