I feel really bad for the mom that spent $500 for her kids to see huntrix. Poor kids must have been so disappointed.

I feel bad for the kids, not for the mum. I think parents should take an interest in their kids' interests. If you're gonna spend 500 bucks on a band and you can't be arsed to learn their name, you gotta pay the parent-who-doesn't-care-about-your-kids-interests tax. The kids probably watched the movie 100 times, you should have been paying attention one of those times. Letting the TV parent your kids, and not even bothering to learn what the TV is saying to them, is neglect.

Great point, I know that shit by heart from my son lol

That's the thing, these guys are definitely dining out on the confusion. No "Christian metal" band is realistically charging $500 for vip tickets. Especially considering they only sold 600k records in the last 25 years and over +12 albums. They would be lucky enough to be hitting the state fair circuit.
