I have been a fan of AA since 2003. Undoubtedly my favorite band. I drove 3 1/2 hours to see them in Winston Salem, North Carolina. They did not show. I thought all was lost and I thought this was confirmed when I heard talk of Gwar not playing. I told my friend that we were leaving if that rumor was confirmed. All of the bands were terrible/near terrible with exception of Chimaira. At the end Gwar saved the day. The money/time spent was not in vain thanks to the Legend that is Gwar. One band sticks in my mind like a knife in my brain. It was unbelievably awful. The crowd booed them off the stage! That band is Necro. I hope the lot of you yet to attend this shitty assemblage of trash are luckier than myself. Last I saw AA was in December 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia. They played 5 songs then much like they are doing on this tour. Children of Bodom put on a great show that day. I hear that they do so always. Ave...

Yes, the hardcore losers were in full force!

I met one fellow there wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. He had drove down from Kentucky. He came to see Amon Amarth and Gwar like myself. He was deeply dissapointed and I felt a spiritual bond with the fellow. Amon Amarth fans are true. I was the only one that I noticed with an AA shirt as well. The USA is a wasteland when it comes to an appropriate reception for truly great bands!
