Nah, I'm probably one of the select few people here who adores Norwegian BM but could care less about Immortal..sure they have some good albums, but nothing spectacular, also I really hate the way they have made the black metal image so laughable..they even admitted how ridiculous they think it is..I'd rather they pull a Burzum and not fuck around with corpsepaint and goofy ass music videos if you're going to acknowledge how fake it is.

Saw Mastodon last night, pretty disappointing really. They came on 30 mins late, were supposed to play for 2 hours and only managed 1 1/4 hours, they played Crack The Skye in it's entirety which bored the crap out of me, and they neglected to play Blood and Thunder and Capillarian Crest.

-CyanideChrist- · January 29th, 2010, 04:40 AM

They must've played the same setlist they played when I saw them then..the entire fucking Crack the Skye with this massive video playing throughout the background to tell the story of the album..well it was cool, but seriously, if I want to go see Mastodon, I'm not there to wish I was stoned...I'm there for some fucking Remission..sadly they only played about 1 song from each old album

Satanstoenail · January 29th, 2010, 05:48 AM

No massive video, just a big backdrop with a bunch of bad lighting. The only song they played off Leviathan was Iron Tusk, I don't think they played anything off Remission, just a couple off Blood Mountain before they finished. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to seeing them as they rocked when I saw them with Slayer in 07.

Mort Divine · January 30th, 2010, 12:20 AM

god i cannnot fucking hear right now! great show! met j-p and another internet dude at the show.

acid witch was fuckin' awesome

veeeery nice..fuck Immortal, much rather see Mayhem anyway

Saw Mayhem last year... thought they sucked.

Srontgorrth · January 30th, 2010, 01:21 AM

I really enjoyed seeing Mayhem last year, though Attila was more interesting when he performed with Sunn O))). I caught Hellhammer's drum stick too, quite awesome imo.

Anyways, next show is in April (Vegas sucks for metal :/) which will be Cattle Decapitation and Gaza for $12.

And yeah, last time Immortal played in LA (2007 iirc) it was $50 as well. They try to act all grim and cool by rejecting the award, but then they charge just as much, if not more, then all the other bands/artists receiving the same awards. Hypocrites

Rhovanion · January 30th, 2010, 06:55 AM

I can't afford seeing all the bands I would like to so my list of gigs I've been to is very very short, unfortunately. But here goes.

Sabaton/DragonForce/Edguy
Arenan, Stockholm, 2006

Firewind/DragonForce
Rockhouse, Salzburg, 2006

Nightwish
Arenan, Stockholm, 2007

Turisas/DragonForce
Tyrol, Stockholm, 2009

Apocalyptica/Nightwish
Hartwall Areena, Helsinki, 2009

Entombed/Amon Amarth
The Garage, Glasgow, 2009

Any gigs I'm planning on attending in the future? No, due to the gaping hole in my wallet.

-CyanideChrist- · January 30th, 2010, 06:19 PM

So you've been to 6 concerts...in 4 different countries?

Yeah, my buddy Phil got thrown out for handing Bobby song requests on pieces of legal paper.

Lots of tough guy thuggish bullshit from the bouncing staff, but we sorted it out with the owner. I basically went downstairs to make sure my friend didn't get pummeled by retards. I missed a couple songs, but I saw them in Cleveland as well.

Yeah, cool meeting up, hopefully there's a better Trouble album playing next time.

Rumpole · January 31st, 2010, 05:01 AM

I went to Metal Merchants in Oslo this weekend, was pretty bloody awesome. Friday was Anihilated, Solitaire, Lamented Souls, The Lamp of Thoth and Tank. Last night was Torch, Necronomicon, Dark Quarterer, Slough Feg and Omen.

Here's a rundown...

Anihilated were ok, breakdown heavy thrash. Solitaire were wicked sloppy speed metal, with a frontman who's a cross between Steve Grimmet and Jack Black. Lamented Souls were pretty good, though I'm not very familiar with them. The Lamp of Thoth were good, great sound but no audience interaction at all. I was a bit disappointed as I was really looking forward to seeing them. I've got a cold and felt like shit so I didn't hang around for Tank, but that was no biggie.

Last night was much better, if only becasue of Slough Feg. Caught the tail end of Torch's last song, Necronomicon sucked and they had the gayest intro tape ever. Dark Quarterer were ok, but their set dragged on forever and I was feeling even worse by that stage. Slough Feg were absolutely fucking phenomenal. Great setlist , awesome sound and Scalzi was totally possessed, jumping all over the speakers and stage! Highlight was Ape Uprising, close to ten minutes of pure duel soloing madness! Only hung around for a few Omen songs as i was totally knackered. Saw Rich Walker wandering around both nights and I think one of the guys from Nifelheim. Fenriz trod on my foot and apologised, so that was pretty cool. All up a great experience and I've still got Hammer of Doom to come in a week!

Blind Guardian · February 1st, 2010, 07:11 AM

Aeon on saturday.

-CyanideChrist- · February 3rd, 2010, 04:19 PM

So I saw Nile last night...and holy mother of Christ did they fucking KICK ASS! I saw Behemoth a couple of weeks ago and was blown away by their performance, but this...this is on a whole new level! I know I will never ever miss a Nile performance from now on.

Billenzimmer · February 4th, 2010, 09:30 AM

So many UK tours on at the moment- last week, saw Anaal Nathrakh (awesome) at one venue then left to see Fu Manchu at another. Last night was Orange Goblin supporting Saint Vitus, tonight is Municipal Waste, next Monday is a Kataklysm/ Decapitated double header with Man Must Die in support, and I've got tickets for Lamb Of God and Fear Factory gigs later in the month.

Muff_Arsonist · February 4th, 2010, 02:14 PM

Going to see Rectal Smegma, Rompeprop, Erotic Gore Cunt, Mucupurulent and Cliteater play live in Darmstadt, Germany on the 21st this month. It's going to be lovely and erotic I'm sure.

-CyanideChrist- · February 7th, 2010, 02:25 AM

Pornogrind these days haha, didn't dig further than Jig-Ai myself, but they kick ass!

JGMetalhead · February 7th, 2010, 02:43 AM

Lol at Erotic Gore Cunt, such a fucked up name.

Muff_Arsonist · February 7th, 2010, 05:57 AM

Saw Asphyx and Saint Vitus in Wurzburg, DE last night. Already posted some of the concert up on youtube already. Asphyx did an awesome job, I have never seen so many old metalheads with vests covered with band patches ever!

It was a great show though.

Cronopio · February 7th, 2010, 12:55 PM

Going to see Stratovarius on Tuesday, anyone seen them on their current tour, and if so, could you gimme any juicy details?

damnromulans · February 7th, 2010, 06:38 PM

I've seen some amazing concerts over the years.

Seeing Motley Crue in Japan in fall 2008 was surreal and fascinating, but too tame for my liking.

The most disappointing live band I've encountered was easily Cradle of Filth but that's hardly surprising.

Goatwhore are not generally a favorite but Ben Falgoust is a fantastic frontman who really knows how to work a bored crowd.
